OH MAN

Was that the most Gaimanest thing or what? If you've ever seen/read anything he's written, you can tell within a minute of the episode starting.

But more importantly - Ahahaha. GAIMAN. GAIMAN. YOU WROTE FUCKING CANON DOCTOR/TARDIS. (Almost) ALL IS FORGIVEN.

I'm sory, I don't have anything else useful to say about the episode, because there was no Earth history (next week's not looking good for that either. I guess the historicals kick couldn't last forever.) I did appreciate the tiny War Games shout out, though!

I saw your post right after I finished this - you're right that it doesn't have the kind of high Gaiman mythos that I saw people worrying about. It's definitely Doctor Who. But the aesthetic and everything was what I was thinking of. Have you seen Neverwhere? The costume/set design for this episode and for Neverwhere feel so similar to me that I'm convinced Gaiman must have gotten really involved with the design staff on Doctor Who.
