Doctor Who Season 6

I am way delayed on this business...whoops.  Watched everything on time, just haven't gotten around to writing about it.

"The Curse of the Black Spot" - I really enjoyed this episode.  It was nice to get away from the tension of the series arc for a little while and just have a good ol' romp.  Also, I have a thing for pirates, so, you know.  I was a little... concerned?  confused?  I'm not sure what... by the ending, though.  Why was Amy so dead set against having to save Rory?  It almost seemed like she would rather leave him behind than have to be responsible for saving him.  And he said it was because he knew she wouldn't give up and then SHE GAVE UP but somehow he came back to life anyway.  I feel like there was something fishy going on there.  I don't know.  It just didn't add up for me.

"The Doctor's Wife" - I don't even have anything to say about this.  It was brilliant and perfect and I loved it.  That is all.

"The Rebel Flesh"/The Almost People" - These episodes were alright.  A little hard to follow, and a little tedious, but lovely.  I loved the factory workers - Cleaves and Jimmy especially.  Also Rory was great.  Stupid, but great.  And he didn't die!  The two Doctors were hilarious together, although I called their shoe-switching antics partway through.  I'm not sure why real Doctor was so angry/violent with Amy, though.  That was sort of frightening.  And the reveal about Amy at the end was brilliant - I never suspected it!

"A Good Man Goes to War" - Aghghahgljs.  I'm not sure River being Melody counts as a twist, really, given that that theory has been the talk of the internet for ages now.  I was less disappointed by it than I expected to be, though, so at least there's that.  Rory was also great in this episode.  Just for the record.  Again.  I'm still not sure what the Cybermen had to do with anything, but that's alright.  I liked Lorna Bucket.  I hope we get to see her earlier in her timestream/later in the Doctor's.  I feel like the 'moral' of this episode was sort of a fall-flat though... oh look, the Doctor has a dark dangerous side and he sometimes has a bad effect on the lives of his companions.  Hello, "Journey's End" and "The Waters of Mars" and "The End of Time."  Eleven is not near so dark and dangerous as Ten could be at times.

I can't believe we have to wait until September.  Ugh.
