I am sold on Eleven and Amy so far (I saw your review for last week - depsite having issues with plot holes that could sink a passing space whale, I loved all their interaction, even, and especially the bit you hated - just when I was all 'No, NewWho angst strikes, blah, help, aargh!' it caught me all off guard with Amy turning things around, and all because she'd seen something special in the Doctor. For the first time ever in New Who, I was the one with something in my eye. :-p (Damn them!! *cough* And I knew people would be slagging it off, because that plot was like some kind of entertaining trainwreck between a Moffat creepy story and a RTD crazy one. Strange.)
Of course, if it offends you still, I think you could easily - and this would be dark enough for you - read it the whole thing as a test for Amy, which she passed. I don't think it was, but it would be very easy to read it that way. You can have that reading if you like it. Because there's stuff there to support it. :-D) They already have a bit of that magic and the twisted-up-ness you get - with Seven and Ace, (also with Eight and Charley. I won't spoiler, but they start with having fun, and the Doctor finds his matching companion for that incarnation, to finding they're trapped in a tangled up relationship where Charley has no one else, and the Doctor's done something very bad, and it gets all twisted up, though their characters are even more different from 11 and Amy, than Seven and Ace.) I am getting Seven and Two vibes all over the place, and I'm loving it. Hope next week is fun, too. :-)
Erm. That wasn't much about your post, but I think we've come round to that bit where we nod and find we agree with each other after all. :lol:
BTW, I'm now thinking on that Seven/Beatrix Potter fic - awww - and "The bastard!" :lol:
I'm glad you liked my theory. (Something very funny is I got paid in 2008 twice for writing an opinion column, despite not having an opinion. It's amazing what happens, isn't it?) I'll have another one next year maybe? And Doctor/Romana is a lovely, logical ship - that was why I was questioning what exactly was my quite violent objection to it continuing beyond Four, especially with the 80s Doctors, and that was my conclusion. I don't want to see Tegan, Peri, Evelyn and Ace belitted by that sort of thing - and it's hard for it not to -neither Mel or Nyssa, even if I don't mind about Adric. :loL:
But us all being different is what keeps life interesting. And, um, starts wars, but you know, also saves boredom. ;-)
