x_erikah_xI know some people hated it and I honestly don't want to know about it because I loved it. It's my favorite episode of series five so far, going above The Eleventh Hour.
I love Doctor!angst and I love when we(/he) have to face the dark side of him. I thought the dream sequences made sense in a subconscious perspective of each character, each one having elements of dream and nightmare at the same time.
Yep, Amy is attracted to the Doctor. It'd be insane of her not to. They've gone together to space to fight monsters and lived amazing life changing adventures together, so I think it'd be unrealistic to a person with Amy's history with the Doctor not to be the least bit attracted to him. It'd also be complete unrealistic for the Doctor not to care deeply about her because she's also brilliant. But it became clear to me that the Doctor is a loner at heart and, even though his egoistical side would like to keep someone for himself, the bigger side of him just wants people to be happy and he accepts the fact that it's generally without him. He was pushing Amy towards Rory the whole time because he knows that at some point Amy will have to choose Rory anyway, knowing it can't be him. It wouldn't be fair. Life with the Doctor is different and loving a Time Lord would hurt a Human too much because Time Lords don't love in the same way that Humans do. What I saw in the episode is the fact the the Doctor does love Amy, but he's not in love with her, if that makes sense. The same way, Amy loves the Doctor but also loves Rory, both in different ways and that's confusing for her, a person that always kept her distance from people and relationships out of fear of being abandoned again. This episode showed her a little bit of the love she has for each one of them and that's something that needed to come sooner or later.
I loved how ruthless, cold, selfish and mean the Dream Lord was (seriously, the name should have been an obvious hint). I loved the moment the Doctor realized what and who the Dream Lord was by saying that there was only one person in the universe that hated him that much. He's just so messed up and broken. This ep made me want to hug him and squish him, give him tea and feed him cake wrapped around a warm blanket surrounded by kitties and puppies until he explodes with luff. My poor messed up Doctor. Matt Smith was brilliant in his acting, staying away from Tennant's kind of Doctor!tearyeyed!lostpuppy!angst that we loved so much and creating his own kind. I love the instability and the constant shift of emotions that he creates that manages to be so in character for the Doctor, but different from DT's. I can't compare him to the previous actors, and I know he's merging some of them together to create his performance, but I don't know who or how because I only know both of them as Doctors. I like Matt Smith when he's being dark because it makes me afraid of him and yes, we should be afraid of Dark!Doctor.
I loved this episode and I need to watch it again. In fact I'm going to put it in my pen drive and take it to my mom's today to watch before the football game. If we lose, at least I'll have some Doctor!angst to accompany me.
