Spoiler:
First of all Wasn't it amazing?!! I knew about John Hurt but didn't know the part he was playing. I must admit when it finished Dave and I just looked at each other and said 'Um...what?!' But now I've read your comments I think I get it! I loved how they inserted all the Clara's into the timeline even if the SFX were a bit shonky as some people have complained (but then when you're working with footage from the 70s what do you expect?!!). My absolute favourite bits though were the bits with River, I just love Alex Kingston and she's really made that role her own. So, so excited for the 50th special and Ten/Rose
Castle...
Spoiler:
I have mixed reactions about the finale. I watched the 3 final eps in one go and the hints they dropped about putting a ring on Becketts finger and the 'direction' the relationship was going in made it pretty clear where Marlowe was going to finish this season off. Whilst I love Caskett and have been rooting for Castle from day dot, I actually found myself siding with Beckett in this one. I know she'll never take it but she has this amazing opportunity and a huge boost to her career so I think it's quite right that she wants to go for it. It's not like its California, it's DC and frankly Castle is being a whiny git about it. I don't like how she lied about it, don't get me wrong but tbh I felt like whilst it wasn't out of character it was a bit of a leap in the plot for Castle to then go and propose marriage. I think my biggest beef with Marlowe et al is that they introduce and close off all the big story lines in the first and last two eps of each season. We know they can do arcs - they kept C and B apart for 4 bloomin years but now I feel like they are bit afraid of keeping anything going too long, they're rushing things. We'll have to see what season 6 brings I guess
Spoiler:
Agreed. Tbh they both need a bit of a slap round the head - Castle shouldn't view it as a threat and Beckett should have talked to him. But the way they did behave was entirely in character for both of them, and let's face it, neither is actually all that good at relationships
Enjoy Star Trek when you go to see it, Dee and Cags! I have to say I loved it It's full of plot holes and if you think about lots of things in it for more than two seconds you end up going but huh what now? But it was a lot of fun and thoroughly enjoyable
