Sorry about not having any reviews for the last two episodes. My real life decided to take over for a while. Don’t you hate it when that happens? Anyway, I’m back on track and should have a new review for this week’s episode “Amy’s Choice.” As for the previous two, I really liked “Flesh and Stone”. I was particularly creeped out when Amy had to walk through the Angels with her eyes closed. And I guess we’ll be seeing more of River Song as well. The scene that most stood out for me though was the scene between the Doctor and the Bishop when the Bishop had been caught by an Angel. The tears that were welling up in the Doctor’s eyes out of sadness and frustration… very powerful I thought. And then the ending when Amy starts getting a little too frisky with the Doctor. I was laughing my butt off. I had a redhead try to do something similar to me once at work. Sadly, unlike Karen Gillan, she was not a beautiful, tall and leggy ginger but short, two hundred pounds and missing a tooth. THAT got her fired…
ANYway…. “Vampires in Venice”. Toby Whithouse who did the series Being Human wrote this episode. Right up his alley, right? It’s the episode that had that great line. The Doctor is surrounded by vampire girls and he says, “Tell me the whole plan!” They hiss back at him and the Doctor whirls around to run away saying to himself, “One day that’s going to work…” Hilarious! Plus the opening when we see Rory’s stag party. The cake comes in and the Doctor pops out of the cake. I’m pretty sure that’s not what the best man had ordered. Kind of like when the dancers showed up at my best friend’s stag party… Helen McCrory was a decidedly sexy vampire/ fish woman. And we finally see the face of the narrator of Doctor Who Confidential. He plays McCrory’s son. There was a great moment when Rory tears into the Doctor. He tells the Doctor why he’s so dangerous. It’s because he makes people want to impress him. Now Rory does seem kind of like a wishy-washy type of guy and one has to wonder why an alpha-female like Amy would want to marry him, but as he seems to be a new companion, we’ll find out. Plus I like the idea of having a third companion. It’s been quite a while. By the way, I wonder if the BBC would actually make the Rory’s Stag Party t-shirts available? Would I wear one normally? No, but I would at the cons. Well, off to get ready for my gig. New review tomorrow.
