I wasn't going to watch tonight as I was so put off by last weeks ep and after reading a really well written analysis of it had realized, I didn't get half of what lots of other people got out of it and loved about it. I felt like DW was so over my head now. But, I decided to give it another shot as thie ep didn't sound like it was part of the timey wimey plot and I liked it. It was pretty good!
It kind of was alomst like the movie Poltergeist and played on childhood fears. I actually guessed part of what had happened before it was revealed.
I do understand the Amy bit and yeah that bothers me a bit too. I keep thinking I'm over analyzing things a bit but, it just seems so much has happened to Amy and her character just seems a bit blase about it. I don't know. I think I read some where that I'm suppose to understand that Amy was okay because she knew River was okay from her past meetings with River. I'm not sure I understand that either though. She knows that her daughter went to prison for killing someone so wouldn't that bother her knowing she wasn't really able to protect and raise her? Is she okay with the potential that her daughter has a realtionship with the Doctor? Maybe she's going to have a break down later in the series? Perhaps this will be why she ends up leaving the Tardis.
