Meta: The Doctor’s Final Lesson, courtesy of River Song. SPOILERS for TWoRS.
Welcome to the meta café! Help yourselves to tea and scones! (No really. This is epic and vast. It’s taken me days to write. You’re going to be here a while. It's just over 8500 words long. And image heavy.)
Before we begin, I shall just point out a Moffat joke. Because I think there are a lot of jokes we’ll only really get now. From Time of ( Read more... ) -
Closing Time.
You know what’s marvellous about this episode from a meta point-of-view? The mirrors finally [begin to] become clearly defined, and I can write a post with lots of subheadings and different topics, rather than something that’s a big tangled ball with no beginning or end.

Meta: The Ponds (This is the way women and men have behaved since the beginning...)
OK, I’m about to embark on something very, very foolish. I’m going to attempt to talk about the Ponds... and gender. Specifically how this works in relation to Amy and Rory’s story this season. So - a warning, or disclaimer: I will make a lot of generalisations. Anyone who thinks that speaking about men and women as men and women is sexist in and ( Read more... ) -
Review/meta on Let's Kill Hitler. SPOILERS!
Outside the cut, two things:
Everybody kills Hitler on their first trip...
Because it is internet history, everyone should read it, and I'll bet anything that the Moff knows it. Plus it's hilarious!
And also, from Forest of the Dead, because I’ve lost count of the number of people who I've seen mis-remembering this:
RIVER: Difficult? It'll ( Read more... )
