"Did you wish really, really hard?"

It's funny, recalling all the press about how this episode is totally going to redefine how you look at Doctor Who. Because the TARDIS being sentient, loving the Doctor and communicating in human form has popped up quite a few times in Doctor Who media, Big Finish and the EDAs are the ones I am familiar with. Then I remember that the press is aimed outside of fandom, and that yes, it is something that has only been hinted at in the actual show. People outwith fandom watch Doctor Who, who knew?

And it was done very well. The plot, eh, but then again this wasn't about the plot, it was about how Doctor/TARDIS beats all other ships so :P, and their brief chance to be together on the same level. It was all quite lovely and funny and sad.

And Gaiman managed to fit in another debate into canon, that Time Lords can change sex. So Joanna Lumley for Twelve! (Though God knows how Moffat would handle that.)

Killing Rory is a thing now, isn't it.

I fully endorse Joanna Lumley for 12 :) and I loved the way he worked the gender swapping in :)

I love how that was just casually tossed in. "Yes, Time Lords can change gender, deal."

I was happy about the canon confirmation that Timelords can change genders in regeneration!

Hee, it really is getting excessive.

Poor dead Rory.

I totally want a female doctor. It would be awesome!

And yeah, Docotr/TARDIS ftw. I kinda shipped it back when it was a cargo ship xD Especially last weeks with that amusing moment <3 It was so sad though, probably change the way the Doctor thinks about his box ;)

I wonder if he'll call her sexy when people are watching now.

This time I liked it, not so much for the death but for the graffiti. What would it take, aside from the long wait (again) to make Rory so full of hate? Great love and great hate are sides of the same coin.

That was interesting. I wonder how much of that came from Amy or House, perhaps her guilt at him waiting all those years for her when he was a plastic Roman.
