This wasn't my favorite episode of the season, but it wasn't my least favorite, either. The fact that both options weren't the "real" reality was very obvious, right from the beginning, so my investment in either outcome plummeted to nil. It was like...go on and die already so we can wrap this up! LOL
I did like the part about the Doctor being the only one to hate himself that much. That was an extremely insightful note in and amongst all the broohaha. Another person on my f-list cited the Valyard as an example, too.
It does feel like this episode came too soon. Like, how can Amy be all that invested in the Doctor when she really hasn't known him for that long (brief childhood encounter aside). I didn't for one second feel like it was a real contest between him and Rory. So...meh. That pretty much sums up my feelings about the whole thing.
