You saw that title right, folks. Who better to discuss an episode about the Weeping Angels than the Ashitaka's Angels, who also, consequently, wept with abandon after watching it (well, at least 2/3 of us did). Going in, we fully expected the Ponds' farewell to be an emotional one, and we were not disappointed. In this podcast, we discuss those pesky and creepy Weeping Angels and say goodbye to an amazing companion duo while wading waist-deep into an ocean of Pond feels. Wade with us, won't you?
Here's the rundown:
00:00~00:53 Let the sadness begin!
00:54~09:36 Chapter 1: Crying. We talk about whether or not we cried, what parts made us cry, and what other episodes (if any) made us cry. Spoiler alert: One of us shed no tears.
09:37~19:20 Chapter 2: Least Favorite/Favorite parts; we also discuss different versions of the Angels, Matt Smith's heartbreaking performance, and the Statue of Liberty
19:21~24:49 Chapter 3: Confusion, part 1: "How do those Angels work?" and other time-traveling queries. Also, why did Rory have to go back?!
24:50~26:47 Chapter 3, continued: Our theories on how "The Angel's Kiss" gets published; also, head canon!
26:48~33:54 Chapter 4: The Farewell Itself; We discuss how happy we were with how the Ponds departed/the finality of their departure
33:55~39:21 Chapter 5: River Song--why she can't travel too long w/The Doctor; the beginning of the end; our thoughts on The Doctor and River's relationship
39:22~45:32 Chapter 6: Emotional Respite a.k.a. we play a brief round of "WHO Said That?" (Yes, I am that corny sometimes) to distract ourselves from the sadness. Also, Maxine explains why she would carry a sledgehammer with her if she were The Doctor
45:33~46:54 Chapter 7: Scolding Rory (but not really)
46:55~53:07 Chapter 8: More Time-Travel Centered Confusion. Lea asks a big question about the very last scene + leftover favorite Amy/Rory moments
53:08~1:00:12 Chapter 9: Displacement. Maxine literally gets displaced in time for a quick second; we discuss The Doctor's having to let Amy go
1:00:13~1:03:51 Chapter 10: The Doctor. How he's been erasing himself from history, being scary while traveling alone, his dislike of endings
1:03:52~end Chapter 11: Speculation on Oswin/Clara, how we'll process not seeing the Ponds anymore + wrapping up
Though the Ponds' days of time-travel with our favorite time lord have concluded, our discussion of it will continue. Our mid-season podcast recap will be happening soon!
