Rory:"Can't you sonic it?" DW:"It doesn't do wood." Rory:"That's rubbish." DW: "Hey! Don't diss the sonic."
Awesome call-back.
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

Who US: Loving Rory. He's got a brain (loved his lack of astonishment at the inside of the Tardis) and he's brave, if not altogether competent. He reminds me a bit of Xander. And i think The Doctor is his Angel!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I cheered when he said yes he would go with.

It is a bit disconcerting that Rory looks so much like Warren from Buffy (to me at least). But I think in his, what, two appearances he's already more interesting than Mickey was until the very end of his run.

Rory reminds me of Larry from "Blink".

Awesome call-back.
My memory is crap. To what is it a call-back?

Art Crawl!!!
He does seem like Larry from Blink!

I guess I haven't seen Blink recently enough to remember Larry, but he looks so much like Adam Busch to me I kept doing double-takes this episode.

ITA. The fact that he understands the Doctor to sum up what makes him dangerous to others made me really warm up to him. He nailed the Doctor when he said that he makes others want to be better to prove themselves to him, and that's what makes him a dangerous person to be around, not anything he personally does.
Speaking of the Doctor, I think I'm finally in love with Eleven! It took a few eps, but he's been growing on me. His delight in Venice and the fish aliens has gotten me to embrace him as The Doctor again. Oh, and I loved that someone on the show called him out on his baby looks.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
UK Who: One of my friends was complaining that we've seen this race three times before, so it's dull. I said, when before? Pertwee and Davison, he said. Decades apart? Not as boring as some recurrences. Cf. Daleks, Cybermen.
Not the best episode ever, but some wonderful moments and lines from the Doctor. How much did I love his "That's OK. I can't make a decent meringue" in response to the kid saying he had dyslexia? Rory was also great. I was wrong about him. He's turning out well.
Speaking of the Doctor, I think I'm finally in love with Eleven!
Agreed! He's growing into the role fantastically. I particularly love how old he's playing the Doctor. I remember the media asking whether Matt Smith would be able to convince us he was over 900 years old. He really does.
