Happy 15th wedding anniversary to Amy and Rory! I thought about giving it a 4.5 but said screw it let's give it full marks. The Big Bang an incredibly impressive episode because it takes the massive problem of the universe is ending and turns it into secretly a rather small scale personal story. There is no real villain, it's just the four characters we've been following all seasons reaching new points in their evolution. Not only that, this is insanely clever, and actually so unlike later stories where Moffat would try a little too hard. The reveal of the Doctor from Flesh and Stone being a future Doctor from this story? Killer. We don't know why the TARDIS blew up, or who the Silence is, but we feel like Amy and Rory have satisfactorily evolved to reach their wedding day. River all but confirms she's the Doctor's wife, and the Doctor even seems to grow a bit too. Temptation was resisted to go overboard, instead we get a neat little finale with a tiny bit of universe rebooting. A great capper to a great season.
