Point of Order

[promethia_tenk]

Just to remind myself, because it bears reminding, and because I do manage to forget it: Moffat doesn't write good and evil.  Sure, he plays with the vocabulary sometimes (generally to deconstruct and undermine it), but that's never what it's about.  The real struggle, the real dynamic, the real juxtaposition on which everything hinges is CHAOS and ORDER.  Those are the forces we're dealing with.

And that's what was bugging me. Because that was so much worse than dark!River. A dark!River would have been a more ordered River.

And this was quite an interesting thought to have in mind while reading your Amy/Rory essay--because they rather embody chaos and order themselves.

*nods a lot* And it's why Amy copes so much better.
