Series 6 Episode 10: The Girl Who Waited

This episode had some really great moments in it and I think it was nice to have an episode which was mostly about Amy. Don't read further when you haven't watched the episode yet.

Summary:
The Doctor, Amy and Rory visit a planet but it is under quarantine. Amy pushes the wrong button and lands in a different time stream. Rory and the Doctor promise to help her but when Rory finds Amy, she is 36 years older and has spent this whole time alone. She had to fight the Handbots who would have killed her with kindness. The Doctor asks her to save the young Amy but first she doesn't want to. When she has talked to the young Amy and after the Doctor promises to save them both she agrees and they manage to get both Amys into one time stream. They are able to get back to the Tardis but can both versions of Amy be saved?

This is another episode where we see the Doctor lying. He does that a lot lately and I wonder if we get an explanation for this behaviour of his. Makes him a bit dislikeable but probably more human. The older Amy was great too. I wonder how long Karen had to sit in mask to get that done. As I said before it was a great episode for Amy and the scene between Rory and the older Amy at the end when she is outside of the Tardis is really sad. I wish they could have taken both Amys but that would probably have been a bit strange too. These robots were a bit freaky too. I don't want to stand in front of one of them.  I wonder if everybody in this facility is alone or if some are living with other people. Well, I really liked the episode but the end was so sad.
You can watch the episode here.
