I will be posting my regular lengthy review and synopsis tomorrow. However, for tonight, here are some brief thoughts.
1) Some of the most powerful Doctor monologues we've had. And there have been some great ones in past years (the Pandorica speech, the Akhaten speech). But these, the Doctor on the edge of his own personal abyss...wow.
2) So much current events. Still. These two episodes need to be seen by everyone. I mean it. Not saying that as a fangirl. This is what's going on right now in the real world.
3) What a perfect analogy for war.
4) The writing didn't step down at all from last week. This is 8 episodes in a row of very good to excellent...one of the strongest runs in 2005-date Who, surpassed perhaps only by eps 7-13 of the 4th series, or the 14 episode run in 1989 (but that's the old series, so...)
5) So much more I want to say, but I'll save it for the review.
Suffice to say, it was excellent.
More tomorrow.
