Incredible. Crazy. Madness. Spoilers to Follow, so if you wish to wait for surprises please skip reading ahead:

So Amy was flesh. We leave her smashed to goop in the TARDIS and waking up to find herself in labor. Now the baby is born, and the Doctor and Rory assemble an army to rescue her and the baby, Melody Pond. It was cool to round up people who owed the Doctor a favor, from all sorts of races. Cybermen, Sontaran, Silurian...you name it someone in any race is bound to owe the Doctor a favor. And the army is cool, and while not a LOT happens in this episode it is tons of fun to watch.
Despite being a mid-season finale, it actually takes its time in finally bringing in the star of our show. It is kind of fun waiting in anticipation for his big triumphant return, and when he finally does arrive it is gangbusters from there.

Then that end. Oh Moffat knows how to make an end. Melody is flesh. BLAM. River finally arrives. BLAM. And she finally tells us who she is. BLAMBLAMBLAM. She IS Melody (Song). Because the only water (pond) in the forest...is the River. BIGGITYBLAM!

Then the Doctor runs off and we won't find out what happens until the fall (September to be exact I believe). So I will hold off on any season recaps until the complete season is finally out and consumed and figured out.

NEXT TIME: Nobody Dies
