Also, I'm really looking forward to the semi-whistful, name-heavy remembrance pieces that will be written about EDM around 2032.

As much as I'm loving 1992 week here, I can't help but wonder if this marks the point where Gen X has finally climbed as far up its own asshole as the baby boomers did in the 80s and 90s…

Wait, how did you pick that up?

But see, that's exactly what I was talking about in my original post. The season premier will usually sets up a larger arc that gets returned to once or twice in the season (with some hints in the stand-alones). I've pretty much always found those more enjoyable than the stand-alones, which tend to end up batting…

I'll have to double-check, but I thought they specifically mention being on that ship for 2000 years.

Wait, what? Every season since the reboot has had some season-long arc (or at least foreshadowing to the major climax for the season). Bad Wolf, Torchwood (and the larger Rose arc leading to her departure), Saxon, Rose returning (leading to the stolen earth climax).
Moffat has doubled-down on this, and considering that…

The entire universe was rebooted by Amy Pond's memory from the power of the exploding Tardis at the end of Series 5. So basically, everything from that point on can be considered new continuity (with only things that have happened to Amy, 11, and possibly River Song before the re-boot definitely having happened).

Having an unknown Doctor is definitely better from a story perspective. How they're going to square that circle for the large mythology episodes and storyline, though, is something that seems really murky right now.

Well, apparently somehow the ISA* was able to send a message to the psychic paper, so they must be some kind of knowledge about him out there. Considering it's an Earth agency doing that, and considering that we can't be sure that Earth is clear of Silence yet, that is pretty risky.

Futurama has trained Americans to think of the future moon colonists as racist hicks. I will continue to think of The Doctor saying "racists", and picture him specifically referencing the Crushinator's confederate-flag-flying father.

The timeline on this episode was a bit odd, even for a Doctor Who episode. The robots mention being on the ship for around 2000 years, though they definitely came with Solomon (since he mentions using them to wake up and kill the Silurians). So is Solomon 2000+ years old? How long was he waiting, injured, on a ship…
