Did anyone else get the impression at the end that some remnant of Mr. Clever is still in the Doctor's head?  That comment about Clara's too-tight skirt is not only wildly out of character for the Doctor, but also he seems to be rather shocked at himself when he realizes what he just said.  
  
The clincher for me on…

This is one of the reasons I hesitate to label myself a Whovian.  If the Internet is any indication, Whovians are a bunch of whiny, hyperjudgmental jerks.

Agreed wholly.  I now really want Gaiman to write a sequel to this one, following up on the changes implemented by the Cyberiad (a nod to Stanislaw Lem, that?) after this encounter.  Surely Mr. Clever managed to survive the planet's destruction by uploading his data to the Cyber-cloud, right?

And yet, the Borg themselves were neutered just as badly by their over-use in Voyager.  They were turned into useless cannon fodder and made even more gimmicky than the holodeck - a far fall from their once sinister and disturbing presence.  
  
It's about time the Cybermen picked up the torch they once carried.  They…

Gosh, it's almost as if people have wildly differing opinions on things.

Well, to be fair, it was a *derelict* amusement park.  Of course, a battle a *broken* roller coaster would have been even more exciting.

But she's already been in the TARDIS - twice, technically.

Already lived it and then died.  That's the Doctor's perspective, anyway, and the only one that makes much sense for a viewer to take.  They're more dead than Caesar, because unlike with Caesar, he can't ever go and visit them.

Stephen Moffat WANTS you to forget about the Silence.

It'll be a refreshing change to have the Doctor experience an unrequited crush.  Although in this case I think his infatuation is mostly motivated by the sheer impossibility of Clara.  He's into her because she's a temporal paradox.

Would be great to see this McKinstry concept come to life:

I fear that Craig is the closest to a bloke companion we'll get.  I'd settle for another Craig episode.

Agreed 100%.  I just saw her in 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' and she was excellent alongside other Doctor Who alums Bill Nighy ("Dr. Black") and Penelope Wilton ("Harriet Jones, Prime Minister").  
  
I'm crossing my fingers that it's only a matter of time until the rest of the cast of that film guest-stars on…

Well, there's always the possibility of creating new ones, but it seems that RTD and Moffat would rather build on the foundations of old rather than construct their own edifices.  Moffat has created a lot of fantastic new monsters, to be sure, but he has flopped rather messily when it comes to mastermind villains.…

Just you wait.  Once J.J. Abrams has wrung Trek and Star Wars dry, he'll come after Doctor Who next.  My words - mark them.  Mark them twice and circle them with a red pen.  
  
Abrams is coming.  It's just a matter of when.

A disembodied super-mind can change his voice and appearance at will, can't he?  Perhaps the McKellan voice was just his go-to intimidating voice, but Dr. Simeon grew on him over time.

Holy shit.  
  
Both of those comments together just spun my brain around backwards.

Aha!  Until now I wasn't getting the Reichenbach reference.  I'll never fully understand how Moffat manages to avoid drowning himself in his own cleverness.
