We open in the woods, 10 miles west of Boston. Gentle guitar notes play while Joel plunges his mangled hand (the one he injured beating the crap out of the guy at the end of the first episode) into a beautiful stream. I could gush over the way they film nature in this show all day.
We begin this episode in Jakarta, Indonesia on September 24th, 2003. People are eating in a restaurant when some uniformed officials walk in, and everyone suddenly goes quiet. The officials go up to a woman eating by herself and before anything is said, we cut to her in the back of a car, being driven away by them.
The previously ends on Amy shooting at the little girl spaceman and we cut straight to her running through The Valley of the Gods in Utah, pursued by men in Jeeps.
Kirsti: I hate to be That Person yet again, buuuut it's meant to be 3 months later and yet Amy's pregnancy appears to have not progressed at all?? I AM CONFUSED.
Marines: An angry man charges through a palace, yelling for people to get out of his way. He bangs on a closed door and yells for the Doctor. We pan and see the Doctor's clothes, paints, and then a painting of the Doctor in nothing but a strategically placed shroud and a trident. I'll give you a moment to groan because honestly.
Kirsti: Personally, I'm gagging, but to each their own.
