Nice idea.

Snugglesaurus, you're a lucky dinosaur if whiskey makes you tell the truth so eloquently. It makes me get shouty about the nature of time and consciousness and fall into the campfire.

It was notable that the team he brought in for this episode were decidedly aggressive in nature (except maybe blue guy), and were apparently were able to recruit armies of their own.

Mr. Greene, it all makes sense, if you think about it.

I'm expecting them to find a reasonable (ha!) point where things mostly make sense, and send the Doctor and River off on their adventures (say, 200 years of them?) which all happen off-screen, perhaps even during a commercial break. Appropriately enough, for a Time Lord honeymoon.

Shush. You don't want to make the Doctor blush.

Har: When people started saying "River is a Timelord" and "River is Amy's daughter" weeks (months?) ago, I hated both ideas, but I'm OK with the way Moffat brought them in. I think we might be saying goodbye to Alex Kingston as an actress pretty soon, however.

Bill Reid, I'm still reading that line as a hint of intimacy, although I'm sure Moffat will pull the rug from under me at some point.

Bill Reid, that was my call, too. Glad we got to keep her longer.

Oh alright. Fair enough. I read River's explanation to Amy as "The name on the cot is a clue, but you can't read it; try the leaf instead," but your explanations work fine.

Finally
I've been biting my tongue all week. [Shush, now.]

I re-read Pratchett constantly.

SR, I love your work. Keep it coming.

Found, via dailymotion, then found the earlier thread suggesting just that source. Sigh.

Source for Tomb of the Cybermen?
Does anyone know of a good source for the next episode? I haven't been able to find anything complete on YouTube, and every torrent I've tried has gotten stuck halfway though. I'm traveling so can't receive Netflix DVDs. I would actually shell out the twenty bucks for the DVD from…

TARDIS noise
Bit late to the party, but wasn't it awesome when the TARDIS started roaring away for the first time? What an amazingly great noise.

My post reappeared. Huh.

Huh. Wrote a post in response, but I guess it was deleted for (clearly indicated) spoilers.

Let's have our own little SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER thread here. It's right at the end of the discussion, so it's not like anyone likely to stumble on it.

Just watched the new episode, and am feeling VERY SMUG. Fine, sneezing didn't play a role, but I'm convinced it just ended up on the cutting room floor.
