tardis_stowawayNo time to write a lengthy analysis, but "Amy's Choice" gets my thumbs up. The Dream Lord being the Doctor was the best sort of twist, something I didn't see coming but which made excellent sense in retrospect. I continue to <3 Rory, even as I kept having to avert my eyes from the awfulness of his ponytail. Egads, the horror!
Was there an appearance by The Crack in this episode? The Old People Eye Monsters mentioned fleeing from cracks, but I don't remember seeing a manifestation of it following Amy around.
Amy's Choice would be a pretty good name for a band. A death-facing Peruvian folk band!!!
I spent much of the episode being like "that is NOT the Dream Lord. The Dream Lord is tall, broody, usually more good than evil, and looks vaguely like Neil Gaiman." And now I want to reread Sandman.
Something of a theme of unsettling things living inside good people in this episode. There were the monsters in the old people and the Dream Lord as the dark aspects of the Doctor's mind. Even Amy's pregnancy is dangerous, since it impedes her running ability and scares the Doctor when it seems like she might be going into inconveniently timed labor. Rory didn't seem to have any horrors within him, other than the frightening fact of his mortality that Amy must face...though he does have the scary parasitic alien mullet ponytail clinging to his outside.
As a dream episode, this would have been improved by the addition of the Cheese Man.
