What were your feelings about "The angeli take Manhattan"? (Spoilers so please only answer if te have seen the episode)

I loved this episode.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the Ponds (team redhead always!). I just got tired with them. The got huge storyline compared to prevoius companions - girl who waited, crack in the wall, pandorica opens, Medoldy Pond (I'm still all WFT for the idea of River being their daughter) - during season 5&6 whol Doctor Who universum was revolving around Ponds. At some point I couldn't help rolling my eyes thinking "what Pond-centric storyline will come next". Ifelt they were stealing spotlight, when they should just be companions, not characters equally important (sometimes even more!) than Doctor himself.
They left in an extremaly touching way, also very realistic when it comes to characters (we always knew Amy would ALWAYS put Rory first, over the Doctor). I loved their farewell, I even cried a bit, but I was overally happy that there's no come back for them.
The idea of Doctor Who series is changing both Doctor & companions. Ponds were great, but it was highest time to change the balance, give the mostra some fresh blood. As we saw in 7x01 Jenna-Luise has amazing chemistry & balance with Matt. I somehow hope they will be so much fun & positive crazyness as Ten & Donna.
Ponds era was great, but it's time for something new - I will think about them with huge sentiment, but I don't think I'd really miss them.

I think it was unnecessary.
I was fine with the Ponds living their life after The God Complex.
And bring them back just to end them in that way. It felt like a cheap trick. Looking for an emotional response from the audience, I mean, before the season started it was already known that they were going to leave in a "emotional way"
was it the only hook they got to get people to watch the show?
It's Doctor Who! People watch no matter what.
The episode was fine, but I did find many plot points that didn't make sense to me.
And the retcons! Saying they being traveling with the doctor for 10 years. Why? So we wouldn't feel bad if they dissapear after one episode of choising traveling the doctor?
Anyway...I wish they had leave them alone.

The episode is so much Madame de Pompadeur. The death and the end with the afterword read in their voices. I thought that the dying was unnecessary.

It's a great episode, and that I cried seing it. I go to miss a lot Amy and Rory, I loved them.

I liked Rory but never liked Amy for always stringing Rory along just because she found something better. However, I DO commend her at the end for finally manning up and standing up for Rory to the Doctor! Finally saying "No. I Amore my husband and I won't allow te to come between us."

I'll be honest, when I heard that this was the episode when the Ponds would finally be gone, I was glad. I was getting bored with Amy and Rory after a while, I don't really know why, I just thought it might have been time for the Doctor to get new companions and I didn't care how they got rid of the Ponds. My feelings were changed after the episode, the moment where Amy and Rory jumped off the building made my cuore skip a beat, and when it turned out that they were really alive, I decided not to take them for granted, then when they were gone for real, it brought a tear to my eye. Doctor Who is the only mostra where I have actually teared up watching at some emotional parts, the only other three parts where I teared up were when the Doctor and Rose were separated between two universes, the death of the Master, and the part in The Stolen Earth when everyone found out it was the Daleks who took the planet (although that one was più out of fear). Other than that, this episode brings back the monsters I have literally had nightmares about, the Weeping Angels, they still scared me a bit in this episode, but the Weeping Angel moment that scared me the most when one was smiling, fucking creepy.

In this episode I like the fact that we can see the relation between The Doctor and Professor River Song. The husband and wife relation, they care for each other.
