Upon reflection, that was a darn tight two-parter. When the crack started appearing (in The Beast Below) I thought it was simply going to be an RTD-special end-of-the-season gimmick, like Bad Wolf. But I was very impressed and quite intrigued for the next episodes.

Whoa, damn that bloody Moffat. I need to run that back on the ol' DVR.
But wouldn't that whole "can't intrude on my own timeline" rule screw it all up?
I guess it's more of a guideline than a rule.

I'm still pissed that ABC canceled Pushing Daisies.

Yes, I'd much rather be in a media frenzy on the French Riviera than in my cubicle farm with my boss over my shoulder…

That's "Roger Workman" to you.

It's Cosmo, Jerry! COSMO!

My DVR caught it on late-night Starz or some crap station. I couldn't get more than 20 minutes into it without becoming irredeemably BORED.

Where the hell did THIS column come from? 'Cause I like it.

When we got to the Doctor with gun scene, I honestly expected to see Graham Norton dancing across the bottom.

Moose, you're right: a host is the group name. I wanted to know what their home would be called… "hive" of bees, "nest" of birds, etc.

Amy's turning to stone
That was creepy when she rubbed her eye and all that sand fell to the floor. So, in the corridor, was she hallucinating? Obviously she wasn't actually turning to stone…

loved this episode
A nest of Angels? A hive of Angels?
Bring on next week's episode. I'm really looking forward to their escape.

weak video game trailer
Disappointing, maybe the gameplay will be superior to the trailer.

Yes, Doctah, let Coupling's charms sneak up on you. But keep looking, don't even blink.
