Spoilers for tonight's Doctor Who

[angelophile]

As in "Cold Blood". I'm going to do a full review of the two parter soon, but first, there's something I need to get off my chest.

ARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!! *FLAILS!* I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT!

After a rather average episode the ending came as a real punch to the gut. God, that was heart-rending. In concept even worse a fate than Donna's.

I'm not as confident that this will get undone in the series finale as a lot of people seem to be - I suspect the memories will be returned but not Rory. Amy will remember losing him and that'll break her heart. I don't think this is going to end happily.

But that ending was so out of the blue I'm reeling. It takes a certain amount of sadism to not only kill a likeable character, but then erase them from existence, just to add insult to injury.

I'm genuinely knocked for six by the ending, which was presumably their intent, but even so... It hurts.

I can do nothing but agree...that moment actually hurt...

Then again...I think you called it a few weeks back when you suggested they might kill off River Song...
Rory was a better kill for knocking viewers for six...
