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.

Yep. And to not have to be running away from the angels for his entire life.

Not that I understand why they would just keep coming after him, but then I thought that there was a remarkable lack of logic in the episode, even for a Moffat script.

Frankly, I seem to have a lot of trouble following Moffat's logic. It never makes any sense to me, even when it has lots of emotional weight (like the whole business with the Pandorica and Amy's wedding).

The premise seemed to be that he was in immediate and persistent danger, but that all of New York was potential food.

Charlie Jane's article hinged on suicide as an escape, and no...not the plot of this story, although it has happened, and the other example she brought up (it was the sort of article that ruins the other piece in the title once you work out which trope she means in the one you've seen) was fighting back too...sometimes it's high personal cost, sometimes your friends or an awkward angel pull you out and it's not quite right for one reason or another, and sometimes it's just dead in the service of saving others--we deem that heroic, even if we look askance at kamikaze, there's a way to not have it be a Thelma and Louise (or even Butch and Sundance).

why they would just keep coming after him

Because if he successfully gets away that's also a paradox? A slower one, so they'll have opportunities to send him to where/whenever he needs to go to die in that hotel room so they can avoid the whole poisoned farm thing.

This episode made me cry buckets, so the flaws in logic are not exactly jumping out at me.

I love it when geeks are being geeks. With charts to explain their argument (why Moffat is a brilliant writer, but a bad showrunner): [link] [link]

(Original post is in Hebrew, but doesn't give much further information. Posting here for the charts, not for the sake/reason of argument. Not sure I agree with it all).

Shir, that's cute! I'm not sure I'd disagree with either chart much.

Revolution is slowly winning me over, mostly through the sheer awesomeness of Miles. (And the slashiness.)

Once Upon a Time: I didn't realize Michael Raymond-James was going to be in the show this season! That might make me stick around.

That was a curious little glimpse of him.

Did anyone else laugh like a loon at Henry's "Grandpa?" I had to pause the show, I was laughing so hard.

TVLine had screenshots of his apartment for clues as to who he might be.

That was hysterical. I wanted to give up on this show, but it's getting good again.

Cool. I'll check that out. It seem the big question on twitter was, who is Dr. Whale?

Oh, I never saw Mulan. What do I need to know about her?

Girl who dressed up as a boy to join the army to save her elderly father from being drafted...She had a cricket and a dragon in the movie.

Sleeping Beauty's castle looked rather middle eastern for how not the actors were.
