So many brilliant things about this episode.
[spoiler] -"Assembled Ponds" and "dwalls" - I love it when the Doctor makes up terms for things.
- Underground cities in Norway. Better ask Jaden about that.
- Black and white security camera shots were fantastic. It reminded me of a similar thing done by the recent Royal Shakespeare company's Hamlet.
- "No one else dies today" - I am happy it finally hear this line from the Doctor again.
- It's a minatour! In a maze!
- "Bring the fish" - I loved this line, and how Amy totally understood it too. XD
- Of course The Doctor's room would be 11.
- "Amy Williams, it's time to stop waiting." Tear jerker line. I loved this. 8(
The departure of the assembled Ponds/Williams was very much bittersweet to me. Somehow, I knew it was coming soon and honestly, I wanted it to come. That's what happens. The companions always have to move on with their lives without the Doctor (with or against their will). Even if they pop back for a visit every once in a while, they will never be permanent residents in the TARDIS. And I like that because it's logical. Plus, it keeps the show interesting when we can introduce more characters to bring out the personality of the Doctor. :3
Granted though, their departure was terribly sad at the end. THAT MUSIC TOO. Yet, while I'll agree with K-chan because it did seem a tad rushed, it still was rather conclusive to me.
Though, no doubt we'll be seeing the Williams/Ponds again. We still have that one lakeside picnic to address. [/spoiler]
Next episode: CYBERMEN
Excuse me while I proceed to be super excited the whole week.

[spoiler] In my perfect fan-world, they would just live on their own, without the Doctor for a good chunk of time, move on, then re-unite with him for some adventures. It would sort of even the scores, since he apparently has 200 years of adventures as 11 without them, and could create some lovely character interactions.[/spoiler]
[spoiler] Agreeage with this. Plus, like mentioned in my previous spoiler, there are still some ends to be tied up with the happy couple. Unlike "lost" companions like Rose or Donna, there's no "rule" that past companions cannot make a appearance again even after leaving the Tardis (even if stuff was all resolved). See: Sarah Jane Smith and Martha.
And then there's Captain Jack. XD]
