A Good Man Goes To War
Initial impressions.
I don't have that "lajdflkajg;lkdajg;lajf" feeling. I don't even think it's that big of a cliff-hanger. Maybe it was the anxiety to try and get the episode and then buckling down and just watching the the out-of-sync sound until the opening credits. And then being interrupted.
Um, okay. Let's try and shift through this...
Highlights: LOVED seeing the Doctor get properly angry. That was sort of "holy shit". That whole bit with the Colonel and wanting him to be called "Colonel Run Away"... wow. A bit scary there, Doctor.
Headless Monks: EUGGGHHHH They freaked me out with their twisted off necks.
Not gonna lie: I LEGITIMATELY CRIED WHEN RORY CAME IN HOLDING THE BABY. LIKE, CRIED. TEARS DOWN MY FACE. Made me ship Amy/Rory a lot in that scene, which was surprising on my part 'cause I don't have a maternal instinct at all (and I don't ship Amy/Rory normally).
I nearly shat a brick when the Doctor said, "It's mine." I WAS ABOUT TO FLIP. Then he cleared it up and said the crib was his. And then I shat a brick 'cause it was the Doctor's crib. HE KEPT IT. HOW DID HE KEEP IT? AND IT WAS GALLIFREYAN. AND OMG. HE KEPT IT.

Melody Pond. River Song. The only water in the forest is the river. They swip-swapped the names. Honestly, a bit nonplussed with this revelation. I almost feel like this is just scraping the surface of who River Song is. 'Cause that still doesn't explain the man she killed, how she was able to leave her diary with Amy on her wedding day (meaning she remembered when others didn't), and a few other things I can't think of right now. I think I'll have to give this more thought.
The Doctor kissed both Amy AND River. I'm not as grossed out by this as I should be. Maybe it's 'cause I ship both Amy/Doctor and River/Doctor. Oh my goodness, why are my ships now suddenly slightly... icky almost? River is the daughter of Amy and Rory but also is part Time Lord. It's like Amy, Rory, and the Time Vortex's baby. luls The Time Vortex has a baby. Also, am I a n00b in not knowing how the Time Lords came to be?
...Did the Doctor know the baby was Flesh when he first met it? He sniffed the baby then sniffed Amy... I thought he was... you know, exceptional in those sort of areas.
Also, can I get a gif of the Doctor doing his kissy face?
DUDE. HOW WEIRD MUST IT BE FOR RIVER TO BE TRAVELING AROUND WITH MUM AND POP?? HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

TOO LATEback in the day, BBC shot shows in one long shot, no second takes. Lines were flubbed in the first filming. A second pilot was shot, with changed costumes and lines and at some point the two were combined to make one epic aired pilot. The DVD I have has the first two that were combined. I think. It's the Beeb so it's not going to make much sense anyway.It's packed somewhere. I'm saddened cause apparently I lost my favorite Ten novel, it takes place in the wild west, Native Americans call him Rides in Night, Martha named her horse Rose. It was fun all around.
