well really they were both terrible but at least Nixon wasn't also in a terrible story

this was pointed out on another msgboard but, elsewhere in 1969, doctor ten and martha were waiting for sally sparrow to send their tardis back from 2007.

The Doctor is always going to get out of it, that's what he does.
Will the whole of the next series be him getting out of it, or just the next episode.
Based on Moffat's form, I can see the whole of the next series building towards one of the doctors friends having to go back to the lake to kill him which will somehow also save him.
the 'oh-noes Moffat will kill the doctor' is reminding me of Batman RIP.
The BatmanDoctor is always going to get out of it, that's what he does. The fun is seeing how he does it.

Moffatt was on Radio 2 talking about how he was plotting out the Christmas special and the next series, so I think we're good!
Of course the rest of the series could be about the Master (called Dr Master, PhDeath) after the Dr buys it

except Batman doesn't die until after Batman RIP. It's, erm, like the end of Final Crisis and then the alternating issues of Batman & Robin #9-16 and Return Of Bruce Wayne #1-6. Or something.

except Batman doesn't die until after Batman RIP. It's, erm, like
actually if they let this mystery stand until the end of the second half-series, it's TOTALLY like the first three stories in B&R just getting on with the new status quo and letting the mystery build!

Got a feeling that the whole Nixon thing was an elaborate excuse for showing the Doctor with his feet up on the desk in the Oval Office.

the bullet was a miniature TARDIS
river used a bullet that curved through space
the doctor knocked it off himself because river missed and he didn't want her to feel bad
the universe is curved, duh

SO GOOD. Thought pantomime Nixon was jokes. The Silence were great. I wasn't sure it was all going to hold together but I try not to care about that kind of thing too much so it all seemed ok to me. Next episode looks a bit silly.

loved the first half but think it kinda lost it a bit after that as it became clear they weren't really going to reveal anything much of note :/

(oh and jesus, that pre-credits sequence! Moffat just seems to be addicted to killing main characters then having them turn out fine, and the more he does it the more he destroys any sense of actual danger).

But he does it so well!
So, are we automatically meant to think small child = daughter of amy and the doctor?

OK so there must be weird shit ahoy if babby is conceived in the Tardis, but the pregnancy itself appears to be in a state of flux.
