As all good Whovians know, the series now takes a break mid-season (very American!) – and what a cliff-hanger. For me, it was about the best episode (since the last time I said ‘it was the best episode’!)
SM is certainly a more complex writer than RTD, and his stuff really does keep you on the edge of your seat.
And, if finally, the Doctor finding out who River Song wasn’t enough to get fans talking, what about the (very short) clip of the skeleton holding the Sonic screw-driver right at the end, previewing a future episode?
The official Doctor Who Fans’ site was showing 900+ people discussing the story minutes after the episode finished – it was a record for them as the story obviously got fans thinking.
The other thing that obviously got fans hot under the collar is the title of the next episode: ‘Let’s Kill Hitler’. Universally, I’ve read they hate it (including me), but knowing SM, all is not what it seems, and before fans assume that the Sun newspaper has taken over the responsibility for the episode titles, we should wait-and-see!
A truly epic episode – Phew!

I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
