I liked that one rather a lot - the first S6 story since, oh...The Doctor's Wife, probably, that I can go, unreservedly "that was a good'un, that one!" (The Gangers two-parter - okay, mostly. AGMGTW - surprisingly disappointing - I may elaborate on why another time. Let's Kill Hitler - pretty good from an entertainment point of view but kind of empty when you got past the fun bits. Night Terrors - a damp squib, to be honest). But yeah - liked it. Gillan, Darvill, Smith were ace and you know, it was actually about stuff. You could actually consider the options and decisions the characters took on a basis that was more than just timey-wimey technobabble.

So, thumbs up! The SPOILERY question I wanted to pose, though, was this:

I'm no doubt doomed to be proved wrong by Moffat's perverse Master-like urge continually to pull rugs and never take the obvious route, but does anyone else reckon that at the end of this series we might be faced with a situation similar to the one we got here with the two Amys? I.e. our heroes will be presented with a chance to rescue baby Melody (and maybe coincidentally prevent the Doctor's death), but only at the cost of erasing River Song from history forever? You know, they do keep hammering the "time can be rewritten" thing. Or would that just be rubbish?

Next week looks like a corker, just going from the trailer. We will see...
