Doctor Who meta in anticipation of

The Bells of Saint John

including the prequel.

That's the warning.

this is good meta and you should feel good

Thank you! I'm glad it worked as well as it did.

This is fabulous - AND THE LEAF JUST TURNED UP IN THE EP! Having just read this meta about half an hour before the ep aired, I flailed SO HARD when that leaf turned up! Do you have any more thoughts about it now?

Also, you caught the mirroring of the dialogue before the episode too! Bravo :-)

I should get a proper post up Tuesday I expect!

[purplefringe]

Can't wait!

Not necessarily the bells of St John's *Cathedral*, though; could be the bells of St John's *College*:

The Evangelist St. John my patron was...
Near me hung Trinity's loquacious clock,
Who never let the quarters, night or day,
Slip by him unproclaimed, and told the hours
Twice over with a male and female voice...
And from my pillow, looking forth by light
Of moon or favouring stars, I could behold
The antechapel where the statue stood
Of Newton with his prism and silent face,
The marble index of a mind for ever
Voyaging through strange seas of Thought, alone.

I like that!

Reading your thoughts and observations was exquisite!<333

As a fresh Who fan( watching since October-November 2012, and just NuWho, so far) I was considering my enthusiasm as ...well, FRESH, hahaha! And I kept expecting it to swell down. But this show is so much more than I bargained for! So much more symbolism, ideas, sensations! I am, in fact swept away every day, it's scary :DDD
Basically, I love reading everyone else's thoughts and seeing I'm not the only one under this spell :D
