eve11 | Let's Kill Hitler! (Reply)

Speaking of spoilers, I was spoiled, like, MINUTES before watching because somebody on

dw_cosplay had posted an uncut pic of Mels with the title "Looking for Mels Pond Outfit!". That should teach me to look at lj right before watching.

Random thoughts:

Hitler in a cupboard. LOL. And he doesn't show up for the rest of the episode. I love it; the strange time travel pastiche that you know, if people really did live like the Doctor, would end up happening more often than not. Major plot points of your life take place in 30's Berlin because 30's Berlin is no more same or different of a backdrop than anything else.

Ah, puns. Did anyone else read the lines as:
"I think he just fainted."
"Yes, that was a feint."

The Justice department knows about the TARDIS. And here's a thing, it's listed in the archives as "Listed as stolen". Which, it was of course. By the Doctor. BUT they are obviously talking about Melody Pond in matching War Criminals. So does that mean that Melody/River steals the TARDIS later on? (earlier on for him).

I love Amy's reaction to the miniaturization ray. "How do you know that?" "Well there was a ray and we were miniaturized." "All right."

Overall, this was kind of like crack fanfic, but I enjoyed it. Loved Matt Smith, and I thought that while Alex Kingston was laying it on a bit thick for most of it, when it counted she got it right: the "perhaps the cruelest warfare of them all" line and the end where the Doctor whispers to her and she says "Well I'm sure she knows..."

I enjoyed it more on rewatch. Though it makes me wonder if the Doctor has run into little Melody Pond before and she tried to kill him; he seemed quite prepared. And, poor Doctor, getting all poisoned. Loved the "I'm fine...no, I'm dying. But I have a plan!" But what was the point of fish fingers and custard?

I liked Amy and Rory in this a lot, though the spaceship people were kind of... well, dim, I guess. Overall, not the best, but fun and crazy and entertaining :)

ETA: And another thing, why would Amy disable her and Rory's bracelets inside the Tesselecta? I would disable everybody's EXCEPT mine if I were her...
