Things I Did Not Know I Needed . . .

From Comic-Con, Karen Gillan talks to Alan Sepinwall about how interesting and important the relationship between Amy and River will be going forward:

Spoilers?

[promethia_tenk]

Oh, in the video? Ummm . . . nothing any more substantial than I've already said. Vague, vague, vague. Although obviously v. spoil-y if one has not seen AGMGTW. Mostly she talks about Comic-Con and the cast's reactions to AGMGTW.

Ta. :)

Really, they are not telling us anything we could not expect, but interviews keep coming out of Comic-Con mentioning the Amy and River relationship as being really notable in the second half of the season, and it's making me all flail-y !

I think it's interesting that she says Amy gets to be so involved in the storyline--some people felt like this season has been too much about leading up to the reveal and that it's sort of upstaged Amy, but maybe as Karen says it's not taking away from Amy but involving her in something bigger.

Oh, I hope so so much! That and talk about episode ten being all about her. The first half of the season just left me so thoroughly conflicted, but I don't think it's an irredeemable situation, just a delicate one. The interviews coming out of Comic-Con talking about Amy's role in the second half of the season are the first things that have me going OMG, YES! wantwantwant since AGMGTW . . .

Yeah, I wasn't crazy about the first part of the season like I was about S5. I'm hoping the Moff has something amazing planned for the rest of the season, especially re: the big reveal of AGMGTW. And yes, EPISODE 10. I can't wait.

[promethia_tenk]

The silver lining, I think, is that Moff is completely the kind of writer capable of totally changing my feelings of the first half of the season through what he does in the second half. So . . . *crosses fingers*

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

Exactly! *also crossing fingers*

HOLY CRAP

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THESE SCENES.

(Unless they involve River killing Rory. ;_; )

[promethia_tenk]

RIGHT?!?? RIGHT? I've been in a state of Who-apathy all summer, not knowing what to think. But . . . AMY AND RIVER \o/

(Unless they involve River killing Rory. ;_; )
I really just can't see this. Or if she did it couldn't stick (since they've all killed each other at least once by now, yes?). Is Moff gonna write a story where the Doctor befriends the broken little girl, fixes her life up, only to ruin it even worse and rip away everything she has? It's just not the sort of story we're in.

[sea_thoughts]

Just when you thought you were out, MOFF PULLED YOU BACK IN. XD

(Okay, so it was Karen saying this but she wouldn't say it unless Moff had said it was okay to talk about this stuff. He is the King of Trolls.)
