I’ll need to watch it again. Not too sure how they lived a happy life. Weren’t they stuck in that room?

And if so, how could River get the manuscript to her to publish.

Or why wasn’t NY going barmy over the Liberty angel.

I’m sure there were throwaway answers, but a second viewing would do me good!

Yeah, Rory got the short end of the stick when it comes to grieving though the Doctor had less of a connection with him but yeah he should have gotten something more. And I do hope we get a coda with the Doctor and Brian.

In regards to the Angels, what Aaron said. Amy’s angel status was reset with the universal reboot so I don’t think it should affect her. Not sure what the Dalek thing is that you mentioned.

CJ, the statues have always had those teeth going back to their first appearance.
They’re not vampires but you could call them parasitic in a way as they do feed of time energy from people.

Ok I have a few points/ things/ problems/ issues about the Dr Who episode.

1) The statues have fangs?! I know they sucked the life out of people but are they vampires in one sense?

2) The Dr repeatedly calls out for Amy during the episode but NOT Rory! Why not Rory?!

3) I dont get why they specifically wanted Rory? Why one survived to get him and Amy?

4) Amy became a weeping Angel almost previously so wouldnt she have been affected by looking at them again? Or has the daleck part of her rubbed away that part?

5) Will the Dr apologize to Rory’s Dad over what happened?

I need to come up with a scale for James Roberts too.

I rate it a Wash (Rory) & a Doyle (Amy) on the Whedon Scale

Yeah, the whole “They spent their lives together” deal is too bittersweet, going off the roof would have been a fantastic way to go. The slo-mo falling looked goofy as hell as well. Still, they had a fantastic run and they won’t be forgotten like Martha lol

If their departure ended with the two of them falling off the roof I would have been SO MUCH HAPPIER. That was a bad-ass way to go.
I did not, however, appreciate Rory being taken out in the graveyard like that. The Centurion deserved better.

Also, it actually means that the temperal paradox they created was false because they still got him.
