The episode that finally made me get a S5 icon.
FINALLY! This is what I've been waiting for ever since the beginning of S5. In my Vampire post I was complaining about the writing being very surface-y. And while the rest of S5 might go back into this mode, Amy's Choice actually had some substance to it.
I've seen plenty of sci-fi shows doing the fantasy world scenario (including DW), but this had a clever twist. Amy rejecting Rory's idealized world was actually choosing Rory - very cool. And the whole Dream Lord thing is quite an insight into the Doctor's mind. His darker side pushes people away while simultaneously taunting him about having no one. (And if that isn't exactly what was happening with Ten during the Specials...)
So yeah. Very clever.
Plus I finally got to see the Amy/Rory adorableness, including finally believing that Amy actually loves Rory. Awwwwwww! :)
