daibhidcHoly flippin' heck!
In a way, it seems sadly appropriate that this series starts with a funeral, albeit a wibbly-wobbly,
timey-wimey funeral. So we now know that the plan is for Matt to continue in the role for the next 200 years, after which the series will end forever.
Yes, all right, no matter how much the Moff or elderly-FBI-agent-guy insist that this really is the Doctor and he really is dead, we all know something else wibbly-wobbly and timey-wimey is going to happen to sort it out. The question is, will this happen next week, or will the Doctor's future be hanging over the whole season?
Stuart Milligan makes a great Nixon; I didn't recognise him as Adam Klaus until I saw him before the make up went on in Confidential. The Silence are intriguing villains; the idea you don't remember they're there unless you're looking straight at them is suitably creepy. And is it just me and my neice, or did the mechanism Rory and River found look a lot like the one in "The Lodger"? We never did find out who was behind that...
All this plus Amy is pregnant and has just shot the mysterious little girl! Roll on next week!
