@juniperfish – wow! intriguing idea.   Unrelated – I’ve been itching to revisit Soderbergh’s Solaris – I always loved how he managed to take the original film and make a completely unique, yet still intellectually and emotionally involving, reinterpretation.

I finally caught 12 Years a Slave the other afternoon – powerful, incredibly so.  Saw The Wolf of Wall Street yesterday and was disappointed in it  – after hour 2 you’ve seen every depraved act of excess you need to and the rest becomes overkill. Great performance by DiCaprio, but Scorsese and writer Terence Winter have nothing to say of worth about greed/excess and the criminality of Wall Street.

Hi there – first post. I just watched the episode this morning and enjoyed it despite being a bit perplexed at what was happening at times. I’ve gotten used to rules changing on a whim and things being wrapped up in very easy/odd ways…so the fact that Moffat made up a way to continue the series ad infinitum well that’s fine by me.

What remains is this great flurry of spellbinding action and unique inventions of a fantasy world and of course, the joy that came from everything Matt Smith did and said throughout his tenure as the Doctor. And Clara, sweet Clara…glad that one will still be around.  It was fantastic to see Amy back again, even if just a moment.

Looking forward to a string of new shows with Mr. Capaldi to see just how he’s going to be in the role.

FWIW – my favorite Doctor is Christopher Eccleston. I still wish he had done more than one season.
