Spoilery spoil spoil
So I've finally figured out that I can't talk about this week's episode of Doctor Who without bringing up the spoiler I mentioned I'd run across recently, so I'll make a post all about that instead. (And I'm sorry, because I know full well how hard it is not to click on spoilers, even if you don't want to know! But I need to get this out of my system, I guess.)
The spoiler I ran across, that I mentioned in an earlier post, was that Arthur Darvill (Rory) is leaving the show.
So I was TOTALLY expecting him to die in this week's episode (in the doomed-last-stand scene) and then was completely amazed when he didn't! However, I would guess that River's startled/sad reaction to seeing him in the hallway means that he dies (or something else very morbid happens to him) quite soon in her past/our future, i.e. the back half of the season.
Which makes me very sad because I love Rory to bits and I don't want him to die! Or leave! And maybe it's just a rumor that he's leaving? But I think River's reaction is a pretty good confirmation that he's on his way out (and I've already seen some speculation on my flist about it). So I guess I'd better prepare myself.
I'm finding myself less than enthusiastic about the second half of the season. I think it's partly because I'm still kind of on the fence about the revelation regarding River, and partly because I'm still very much in a NOOOO, RORY sort of place. (Though he was seriously awesome this week. I will never stop being a total sucker for not-normally-badass characters getting their badass on. I think Rory appeals to me in a lot of the same ways that Mickey did, in the first couple seasons of New Who, and his character arc seems to follow a similar trajectory.)

Hmmm...
Re: Hmmm...
So my fingers are crossed! I hope you're right (though the look on River's face when she saw Rory still makes me very worried ... but plenty of DW characters, including Rory himself, have died temporarily and come back, right ...?).
