dweomeroflightI realise I didn't review The Lodger but thats because I was in Melbourne meeting Tim Burton twice and shaking his hand and saying words to him and all, and meeting Brendanpodger and all. And then it was my brother's 18th and I'm going overseas on August 10th for 5 months (where's my panic button and all?) and yeah. The Lodger felt like a filler episode to me anyway. It was fluffy and funny is probably my overall opinion.
Now review (Spoilers...)
Okay. Okay. Oh my. Where do I start? VINCENT WAS IN THIS EPISODE. YAY. EGAD THAT WAS AWESOME.
EH SO'S WINSTON CHURCHILL? There hasn't been a finale this epic since The Master. Yay for Moffat tying everything from earlier together so neatly.
RIVER. In jail still sigh. But man she is so fucking cool. Really. Also, is it just me or is River seriously amazingly hot. Especially in that tank top. Really. I don't understand the freaks who don't find River hot. She is seriously the sexiest thing since HBC as Bellatrix Lestrange. Like ok, I thought she was hot in Time of Angels and Flesh and Stone anyway but like woah... hot times forever in this episode.
Maybe I just have a thing for frizzy hair?
Also was it just me imagining things, or was Moffat deliberately taking us down the fan service route with River, at least in the opening credits. Or on the other hand, that could just be me female crushing and trying to justify this crushing with someone elses intentions lol. Especially in the Star Wars scene. Man that was hot.
OMG THE PICTURE THAT RIVER DREW WHEN SHE ESCAPED AFTER USING HALLECUGENIC LIPSTICK. Utter win.
Also the sign she left for The Doctor- graffitting artefacts God I love her! Did it remind anyone else of HHGTTG and God's final message to humankind "Sorry for the inconveniance."
Liz Ten made a short appearance. Isn't she really, really old now?
THE TARDIS CANNOT EXPLODE. EVER. IT. CANNOT.
RORY IS BACK. I LIKE RORY. Wait, he is a robot? Does this mean Rory was always a false memory of Amy's and he was always a robot? The mind boggles.
Why does Amy cry? Nice tie in to the Vincent episode.
Is this all in Amy's head? Is it all in The Doctor's head?
NO YOU STUPID ALIENS. DO NOT LOCK THE DOCTOR UP. By the way, Matt Smith was acting his boots off in this episode. He has this ability to look far older then he actually is.
WOAH RIVER IS STUCK IN EXPLODING TARDIS. DOCTOR IS LOCKED IN MASSIVE BOX WITH SCARY ALIEN ALLIANCE SURROUNDING HIM. AMY IS SHOT BY RORY. RORY IS A ROBOT WITH ALL OF HIS ROMAN BUDDIES.
Is it next week yet?
Also, if Moffat erases River from time or kills her or something next week, I will send copious amounts of hate mail. She just supplanted John Simm as The Master for favourite Who character aside from companions/Doctors. Also, also, is it just me or is this finale gonna be such a LOm/A2A thriller diller finale! I've noted this from the beginning. The Moff has watched and learnt from those genre bending shows.
Now that I've written another sentence is it next Sunday? Is it? I am so scared and so very very excited.
