Doctor Who: What the fuuuuuuck.
I knew the episode wouldn't actually be about killing Hitler, but I never would have predicted this.
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Phew! Just hit record up at my sister's; I'd forgotten that it was on. New Who. Very exciting.
Every time I'm happy or excited about something, I want to (and sometimes do) say "...SOOOOOO much glitter!" from the Target commercial. I just love the way she says it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I agree with P-C's reaction to Doctor Who. Not sure if I like homicidal!Melody. And not sure if I buy Melody saving the Doctor at the end.
Anyway, have to rewatch.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Rory is so very my favorite.
I felt like Melody's characterization was all over the map. For as much as she spent her entire childhood with Amy and Rory, she didn't seem to actually have any feeling towards them, and then with the fairly abrupt change in this episode...Ok, I'm going to hand-wave with "regeneration personality shift".
Really, we're going forward with not assuming that everyone in the Universe knows who was in that space suit? Because I think they do.
There really must be something deeply bizarre going on with Amy and Rory's timeline if Mel regenerated as a toddler in New York (I just checked, it was "6 months later" at the end of Day of the Moon), and grew up with them. Either that, I suppose, or she stayed a kid for a decade or more before she met them.
