Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I feel like they gave a pretty decent explanation for that (or, as much as all the wibbly wobbly stuff ever gets explained) but Matt Smith was talking so damned fast I missed a lot of it.
Rory really is the most fantastic person.
I also really loved Amy's speech about some people being so beautiful when you first meet them, but then five minutes later they're dull as brick. Whereas other people are just OK, but as you get to know them their personality makes them beautiful.
Of course Rory also did the never having existed thing, too. He can't remember that, though, I hope.
"You're turning me into you" - Rory's said something similar to the Doctor before, hasn't he?
The episode did end on the shot of the Doctor after Amy asked, "Where is she?"
The explanation, from what I can tell, is that Future!Amy metaphorically punched a hole in space-time.
I will accept that.
Am rewatching now. Future!Amy is awesome. She reminds me of Wishverse!Buffy, except she's a genius who made her own sonic screwdriver, hacked the Interface and reprogrammed some of the handbots.

Me too, zuisa. That really resonated with me.
Yeah, Future!Amy was fantastic. (Though I kind of wish they'd let her hair start going grey. I know it's pretty much impossible to convincingly age someone 36 years through makeup, but the lack of grey hair didn't help.)
Matt Smith was talking so damned fast I missed a lot of it.
This happens with me pretty much every episode.
Ergh, that episode was so good. Like, even though, intellectually, all I could think was "Uh, of course you keep the Amy who DIDN'T live through hell and spare her that," the ending was very powerful and made me want to cry for reals.
I did cry for reals. It was rough.
I also felt so bad for The Doctor - always having to make difficult decisions that people dislike. He knows they are necessary and yet he hates himself for it anyway.
I know that companions don't really have the greatest track record for getting happy endings on this show, but I really don't know if I'll be able to cope with anything bad happening to Amy or Rory at this point. I love them both something fierce.
Once in a while I feel like I need to remind myself that these are, in fact, fictional characters.
Skimmity-skim because I haven't watched the episode yet-- y'all might get a kick out of these adorable icons for DW, SGA, SG-1, ATLA, and a bunch of other fandoms. Pentapus is SO talented.
