by Courtney HildenUsually, with the second part episode, it picks up exactly where the audience left off. Doctor Who decides to open in media res, with young Amelia, a believer in stars, goes to a museum and opens up the Pandorica. If you watched the last episode, you'd expect the Doctor to be inside. Instead, Amy is, flipping the audience back to Roman Britain, when Rory is given directions from the Doctor.
The only bad thing about this episode was Amy's attire. It's too bad that given the controversy over Amy's wardrobe that she was forced to wear pants instead of her cute, and totally normal, skirts.
This finale included some well-planned and perfectly executed time-travel. The writers behind the show must have realized how exhausting, and now boring, the quicken exposition is, so they took their time now, even joking that it wasn't slow enough for Rory. The episode also included a great reference at Richard Dawkins, saying that he was a cult leader. Somehow, that feels totally right, which was just like the rest of the episode. Cheers to the people behind Doctor Who for writing story arcs that go beyond just one season and for integrating all of our favorite things, including River Song. Can't wait to see more of her.
