Really loved your reaction to the last 10 minutes or so - Nasreen's decision (which has never really worked for me before, but watching you react to it it finally clicked for me) and of course... THAT moment. Glad you liked that part. The rest of the episode is good talking point, but not actually that entertaining as a two-parter.

2020-07-16 12:27:54 +0000 UTCThis two parter for me is just very below average. I used to like it when it first aired but nowadays I don't really see much worth in it other than the final minutes which was the most interesting part. Part of me sees what they were trying to do with Ambrose but another part of me doesn't find her believable. I feel like the family needed more characterisation. There's just too much running around, sudden personality changes and lack of threat with the Silurians. It's just dull and boring tbh. The idea of them integrating with humans would have made a much more interesting episode than this. The only positive I can say is that Nasreen was the best supporting character and is an example of a character who would have made a great companion arguably even more so than Amy.

2020-07-16 06:27:58 +0000 UTCI still haven't forgiven Moffat for that. Rory was a lovely character. He deserved more. :(

2020-07-15 22:01:38 +0000 UTCWe barely got to know Rory, and now he’s dead. Amy doesn’t even remember him; and if Amy doesn’t grieve for Rory, if she’s unaffected by this sudden, last-second, un-foreshadowed turn of events, why should we? It cancels out the whole point of Amy’s Choice. Since the Crack erased Rory from time, then that episode never happened. It feels like Moffat simply changed his mind about retaining Rory as a companion. Waste of a good character, I say.

2020-07-15 21:42:07 +0000 UTCDespite the well-done back half that really doesn't have much to do with the overall story of the two-parter besides being part of the arc, I think I like the first part of this story better than the second part. Overall though I enjoyed this two-parter watching it here with you a lot more than the first time around. Nasreen is obviously a standout character here, and Ambrose is certainly memorable (for being incredibly infuriating and generally not likeable). I wish the Silurians were more interesting in this story, but still found them quite boring. The ending though is chef's kiss, I wish Rory featured more in the story and had an actual arc in the story to really bring it home. Looking forward to next week's. :)
