I'm not sure we have the technology to measure cuteness of that degree.

First world complaint. Not only is the DW season finale not posted on on-demand, all of season 7 has now vanished from on-demand.

Yeah, I had to go to xfinity online to get it. But it's there.

I am confused about this season of DW. We've had only 4 episodes so far and we don't get any more until Christmas? Will there be more episodes for this season (or series, as they call it in UK, I think) after the Christmas special?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Vonnie, 5 (not 4) and yes to both.

Do you know how many more? I hope it's more than five. Really, really.

Right! Fiiiive. I was so bored with the western episode so I forgot to count that one.
The one with the boxes was my favourite so far. The thing that bothers me the most about the latest ep, aside from the lack of logic (like, why can't River go back there again? Why can't they travel to some other place in the world that's not part of the crazy time vortex thingie? This barely even merits a 2 on a scale of 0 to 10 on DW impossibility scale) is the fact Rory's poor dad will not get to see Rory and Amy again. That's just not right.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
why can't River go back there again?
She did, didn't she? I mean, she wrote the book Amy published (why did Amy have to publish the book? What did I miss there?)
That's just not right.
I'm so not really that upset about it. I mean, his kid, he's going to be sad, but I'm sure the Doctor will tell him that he's not dead, he's with Amy, and he lived a long life and Amy says they're happy. To me, it's like they moved away and lost touch. Which isn't optimal, but happens all the time.
I feel bad that I have to be the one following Charlie Jane around and telling her Rory didn't commit suicide, that I think he sacrificed himself to save a threat. She's bothered because he didn't die, and she's dealing with a suicide in her life, and she feels stories like this (not a fresh trope) trivialise suicide, especially when they are a reset button.
But I cited things like Swan Song and The Gift, where it's a mortal thing they're doing, but it's in the face of a larger threat, one beyond just their own peril.
Did you feel that Rory was escaping, or taking out all the angels? Amy--she was escaping. If Rory didn't come back, she wouldn't have to live without him. But I thought he was also fighting back.

River said she's send the book to Amy to be published. No idea what that means.
Rory was definitely fighting back. The point was not to avoid being sent back in time again, it was to cause a paradox and poison the angels.
