Yeah, they did change the order. I remember seeing that was supposed to be in place of Doctor's Wife (or right around there). So yeah. Foreshadowing and all.
Edit -- yeah. It was supposed to be episode 4. XD (right after Doctor's Wife and just before The Rebel Flesh, with Curse of the Black Spot as episode 9)

8D I AM SO HAPPY ROBYN. ARE YOU HAPPY? <.< >.> Can I be added to the list, if it's still maintained? =3 I'm finally posting here because I finally saw Blink tonight. I feel simultaneously awesome because there're references I now understand, but holy cow that was terrifying 0.0 I've seen a couple David Tennant episodes, and some of the Matt Smith ones this season. I'm going to figure out what channel BBC is on my TV tomorrow (been watching it at friends' houses) and see if I can find and record the ones between Black Spot and...er, whatever one is showing next ^^; In case I can't find them, though, is there anywhere online to find the more recent episodes? <3 Blink is definitely one of the classics of the new series... if, er something that's only been around for six years can have classics? *ponders* ...Anyway, yay for watching more episodes! =D This is the place I've been going lately for episodes online. It tends to have a good selection of links, so usually you can find at least one that works and doesn't require you to pay/download/complete an exciting online survey before you can watch it. =D Awesome, thanks!

The last episode was so heartwarming (just as Let's Kill Hitler was). I'm beginning to like this shtick. Hopefully the combo of sci-fi thrills and sweet moments stays.

This episode was really sad, in a simultaneously-lovely-but-tragic sort of way. I heart Amy and Rory so much.
It was also nice to have another episode that wasn't LOL RIVER OMG IT'S SO MYSTERIOUS. (Can you tell I'm really over the whole River plotline?) Seriously, though, this was like, "Yes! Mysteries and tough decisions and saving people and using weird TARDIS tech and silly alien robots and wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey! THIS is what I'm here for!" The trailer for the next episode looks pretty good, too. Creepy but could definitely be really awesome. And then only two more after that? But I don't want season 6 to end!

I liked this one, too. ^^ Also way to go Rory for being a BA in mouse-fu with no creepy door. XD
I'm sad to see Amy and Rory go, even though I knew it was coming. Rory is my favorite companion so far and I'll miss the both of them. Though I'm sure we're not done with them- that goodbye wasn't nearly heartbreaking enough, and I'll be incredibly surprised if they don't get dragged back in for the last episode, especially considering what the title of it is.
But I'm excited to see how the Silence/River/Doctor dying storylines all get wrapped up. And Craig is in the next episode! I liked him, he and the Doctor had a fun dynamic.

I finally caught up today. ...And was about three millilitres of optical fluid away from crying, twice. Once per episode, as it happened. >_>
Those episodes were beautifully done. Emotional in all the right places, awkward in all the right places, with enough silly alien shenanigans to fill in the rest of the story like only Doctor Who can. Both carried that theme that makes me love this show more than any other contributing element: there are no right choices, but you still need to make them and be willing to face the consequences.
And gahhhhh Rory. Rory Rory Rory. Why do you have to be so beautifully kind and brave and loyal and sad; it breaks my heart. ;____; And it breaks my heart more than anything that now we have to leave them. But. I would rather let them go now then have to watch them pull a Rose or Donna later on — which I guess was the whole point of the last episode, 'course, but still. He saved them. They get to live. With their memory, with their love, with each other. That is decidedly better than... well, than pretty much any Doctor Who companion I've seen has gotten.
...Yeah, if you need me, I'll be staring at the wall trying to decide whether or not I want to cry or beam like an idiot from ear to ear.

I agree about the Amy and Rory thing. I don't think we've seen the last of them yet. Though I will be peeved if they don't stay together.

Fun episode. xD Very much along the lines of The Lodger, which makes sense, seeing as it was Gareth Roberts who wrote both of them (...actually, looking back, a surprisingly large portion of my favourite snippets of hilarious dialogue came from Gareth Roberts episodes — "CAMPTOWN RACES?!" — so I think I have a new Who writer to fangirl now <3). This one was definitely a simpler story than we've gotten used to this season, but I think its main purpose was just to reintroduce Craig and give us a breather/a few minutes of entertaining filler before they launch into the Lake Silencio stuff. And I'm cool with that. xD;
...Seriously, though, this episode is going to inspire so much bad fanfiction

BWAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! I actually really liked spunky future Amy. Not that she wasn't spunky already, but she had some wisdom, tough life lessons and was still a little bit soft, y'know? So sad she never existed. Still, it was sweet and I love the glimpses we're getting into Amy and Rory's past together in the previous few episodes. It really adds depth to everything. ^_^ I shall have to catch up on the rest sometime next weekend. ^_^

Well, now it really makes sense now, what really happened in Lake Silencio. Everything up to this point was a callback to earlier episodes at one point. And I liked how they made a brief tribute to the Brigadier.

Whoot, finally got to see the last two episodes. Yay Craig! He's one of my favorite side characters so it was fun to see him again. And the reference to K9 was nice. Pretty good episode, if nothing terrible unpredictable in the end (it wasn't really the Doctor but a double, the Doctor is the one River marries and kills, the big question). I though the Teselecta was a clever way to go about it, having him physically in the location of his death when it happened while protecting him from dying. I also really liked River in this episode, which was pleasantly surprising, as overall I'm not huge on her storyline. Though Amy realizing that she was the Doctor's mother-in-law may have been one of the best moments of the episode. XDD
Also Rory the Awesome for the win. "It has activated, ma'am." and "We got married and had a kid and that's her." "Okay." I feel like there's got to be more of the Silence in the next season, since that whole thing really hasn't been fully explained yet, but I really like the Silence as alien baddies, so I'm okay with that. What I'd really like to see is more sort-of-standalone adventury episodes with little things that you don't think much about at the time but end up being important later, instead of the back and forth of standalone episodes and RiverDoctor arc episodes.
I've also heard that Amy and Rory will be in season 7, but I'm wondering if they'll still be proper companions, since after the whole "God Complex" thing it seems unlikely (and it would be fun to have 11 traveling with someone else, as much as I love Amy and Rory), but it'd be nice to see them again. I like the idea of the Doctor and his companions parting ways before something terrible happens to them so they can still come back sometimes.
Also I am kind of confused as to how the whole timeline fits together at this point. They still never properly explained the whole "I'm dying now I'm going to go put on a tuxedo" thing from "Let's Kill Hitler" and between future-and-past Doctor and River and wibbly wobbliness I'm not really sure about any of that anymore. What did River whisper in the Doctor's ear in the library, then? I need to knowwww.

What did River whisper in the Doctor's ear in the library, then? I need to knowwww. I do love Amy and Rory, and River, and I believe we will be seeing more of them. But, just like the Russel T. Davies arc, I think more beloved companions should be introduced. (I mean, just look how many fan faves got together for Journey's End!) I'd love to see something like that happen again.
I think TARDIS is probably jealous of the Doctor marrying River. Good thing Rose already has a Doctor or she would be hopping mad. XDDDDD
I think the Doctor is going to tell River his name, but it's going to happen later.
Also, I love how the question is "Doctor who?". To me, it doesn't seem like a question that would leave the universe at stake, but who knows...? Who is the Doctor, really? Why is he so important?
Last but not least, I think the Doctor was really giving himself too hard of a time in "Closing Time", which was a sweet "love conquers all" episode, one of my favorite themes and personal beliefs. Yes, he's done his share of less-than-honorable things, but haven't we all? A lot of people would be dead if it weren't for him. We wouldn't have even been born. That said, I think he stands for everyone: we all do bad things and we punish ourselves too much over them when the good we do really outweighs the bad.
