'A Good Man Goes To War'

That made my head hurt. But in a good way! Terrific episode and am glad they didn't leave us in huge cliffhanger land. Though the preview for when they come back had me scratching my head.


I said to Nin that the names Melody Pond and River Song were so similar, it couldn't be a coincidence. Well, I got that one right!

I want a show with Vastra and Jenny.

So was the girl we saw regenerating at the end of the episode a few weeks ago River? Or some other Time Lord entirely. By brain's still trying to sort through it all.


I think Matt Smith is fixing to be my second favourite Doctor after Tom Baker.

That was kind of what I was thinking, but she didn't seem to recognise herself, which was kind of odd. Although we do know what a good liar/actress she is so could still be.

Which raises an interesting question: Since Timelords change their entire bodies, right down to a cellular level, when they regenerate and if River can and does is she still Amy and Rory's daughter biologically? (How's that for a noodle scratcher!) Although, now I think of it, perhaps she'd be like Jenny (the Doctor's daughter, not Madame Vastra's maid/partner I mean) and not change even though she regenerated?

I second the demand for Madame Vastra and Jenny to get their own show, possibly in a team with the Victorian Torchwood ladies.

And now I have a bunny. *headdesk repeatedly*

I realize now that when River's telling Rory about the Doctor taking her ice skating on her birthday, that was a child's memory. Or I'm assuming, because she sounded like a little girl remembering then, and at the time, I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

Or is the regenerating child River's and the Doctor's? We need to get to Susan somehow, or at least, I hope we do one of these days!
