Doctor Who 5x05: Flesh and Stone
Very belated reaction post. Oh, Moffat, you are so good at the creepy!
Not sure what was the scariest bit, though Amy walking blind through a crowd of Angels is near the top.
Also, the people being made to have never existed.
Oh, oh Bishop Octavian!
"I wish I could have known you better."
"I think you saw me at my best."
"How come I could remember them?"
"You've travelled in time. It changes your perception of the universe."
I liked the poetic justice of the Angels being sucked into The Crack because they'd drained the power that was keeping the artificial gravity going.
Come on, we knew that the Doctor wasn't going to sacrifice himself!
So, River Song was imprisoned in "the Storm Cage" (ah, Moffat is good at coming up with these evocative names) for killing a man, "the best man I ever knew".
Possible implication: she killed the Doctor. Which would be practically impossible to do. But I think we're meant to think that anyway.
What isn't entirely clear is whether or not she feels remorse for the murder.
And we know more about The Crack. "It's time running out." Which sounds good, but doesn't really leave us much the wiser.
What else do we know? The Crack is the aftermath of an extremely destructive disruptive event-like occurrence - if one can speak of "events" when dealing with a disruption of Time.
This event is centred in "Amy's time"; implication: it has something to do with Amy herself.
I am very very disappointed that we have yet ANOTHER companion throwing herself at the Doctor. VERY disappointed.
I wonder if the Doctor's remark about "time can be rewritten" means that the Doctor is tempted to rewrite it? I would have hoped that Ten's experience in "The Waters of Mars" would have cured him of that temptation.
