Spoiler
The "stare into the eyes of an angel and you become an angel" thing apparently didn't exist anymore.
And the whole "picture of an angel becomes itself an angel" thing apparently doesn't exist either. How many pictures of the angels must have been taken over the years? Seriously? What?
The Doctor was saying he could break the angel's wrist but it's been previously established that while they're quantum locked they're indestructible.
And what the pineapple was up with the baby angels in the cellar thing? Why are they there? They're just chilling there for no reason. What the pineapple is even their deal.
The whole statue of liberty thing....just none of that made any sense at all. None of it.
Rory just HAPPENS to encounter an angel in modern day New York? Nobody else encounters them? No disappearances? Nothing? ???
(The suicide scene was just kind of funny for me. While Amy attempts to grab Rory's hand to get lifted up, she just sort of grabs at his crotch area, which I thought was funny. When they first start jumping they fall horizontally, but then 2 seconds later they're both vertical hugging each other? What. And then Amy's face while they were falling...she looked like she was having an orgasm.)
They spent the episode building up to the suicide scene. The suicide scene was the climax. The paradox was the resolving action. The episode was *done* as far as any coherent and practical plot is concerned. The Ponds leaving randomly in the last 5 minutes of the episode just made *no sense.* If you're going to kill off 2 major characters of a show, at least build up to the point where they're killed off, not a point 5 minutes before.
Watch the last scene again. RORY JUST RANDOMLY DECIDES TO STOP GOING INTO THE TARDIS TO LOOK AT THE GRAVESTONE. He's in back of the gravestone the entire time. At no point in the episode was he staring at the front of the gravestone. He's just like "well I'm going to walk back a few feet and stare at this gravestone. Oh? It has the same name as me? what a crazy random happenstance it totally must not be connected to the angels or anything"
OKAY SERIOUSLY THE GRAVESTONE. IT'S JUST A pineappleING GRAVESTONE. THEY DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW THE BODIES ARE IN THERE. NOTHING IS STOPPING THEM FROM JUST GOING BACK IN TIME, RESCUING RORY AND AMY, AND BEING LIKE YO GUYS LET'S MAKE A FAKE GRAVESTONE WITH YOUR NAMES ON IT AND CALL IT A DAY.
AND HOW IS RIVER ALLOWED TO GO BACK IN TIME AND SEE THEM AND YET THE DOCTOR ISN'T? THEY DIDN'T ACTUALLY ESTABLISH WHY THE DOCTOR WASN'T ALLOWED TO GO BACK IN TIME AND JUST TAKE THEM AWAY.
...And more. Sorry this whole season has just irritated the pomegranate out of me.
