There was so much awesome packed into The Girl Who Waited that I didn’t manage to fit all my observations and opinions into my review. Here’s the extra stuff: 

• One of my favourite little details in the episode was the reason Amy got delayed and ended up in the different timestream was that she’d forgotten her ‘phone – which she then used to create her sonic probe.
• Didn’t they do the ‘one person rapidly aging’ thing with Amy and Rory (admittedly not at this length or with this quality) near the end of The Doctor’s Wife?
• That thing with the Mona Lisa being smashed over the robot’s head – I meant to make a ‘This is a copy’ joke, but forgot.
• What did Robot Rory hand to real Rory? [EDIT: My dad informed me it was the glasses. I evidently wasn't wearing mine*. He did raise another point, though, namely that if the robots eyes are in their hands, and this robots hands have been removed, how did it see the glasses? Drawing on a face doesn't confer facial characteristics.]
• I liked Robot Rory.
• That garden had very Tim Burton-looking trees, didn’t it?
• Some of the ideas in this thing warrant whole episodes to themselves, don’t they? I mean, the idea of a plague (which only affects binary-vascular species) which kills people in one day being responded to by creating an environment which accelerates the person’s like, so they effectively live the rest of their life in one day? Wonderful!
• I thought the robots themselves were a bit lame, but had a good premise as antagonists, namely that they were trying to help – in many ways, robots lunging at you shouting ‘this is a kindness’ are more worrying that the ones shouting ‘exterminate’.
• I think Kindness would have been a better title for the episode, though I can see why they changed it.
• Discussing the episode on Twitter with associate K Hawes and she said ‘She’s old. Bummer’. That’s pretty much a three-word episode summary right there.
