Godaaaaaaaamn this episode was brilliant *__* And canon for male Time Lords regenerating as women! I have no idea whether that was Old Who canon already? But excellent either way.
*____* I'm so pleased with that bit of canon. I always thought it was fanon before, though classic Who fans would know more about it. But now it doesn't matter because we have a (okay, dead like all the others, sigh) Time Lord who canonically changed sex on occasion. So many canon possibilities that opens up!
Somebody at another journal did confirm it was never canon before now. It's excellent. It's the first time I've taken seriously the possibility they might actually cast a woman as a future Doctor, outside the mournful dreams of fans.
Ahh, I don't want to get my hopes up. But but - not that I'm in a hurry to see Matt Smith pushed out the door, but if they're planning to kill him off anyway... Maybe if fandom collectively closes its eyes and wishes very, very hard we could have a woman as Twelve...?
