And its built, at heart, around a simple idea.
Its just the Tardis was making the decisions, not the Doctor.
The Tardis got the Doctor to where it mattered, rather than where he wanted it to go.
She had to be the human face to a staple of the show, and her performance was excellent.
And that was the bit that really got me, the goodbye of sorts.

How good is that?
By this time, wed already had a dig into the history of the Time Lords, too.
It was superb, as well.
It seemed everywhere you turned in the episode, Gaiman had laid a treat in store.
Yet, all of this was just part of the episode.
Because elsewhere, Rory and Amy were being pushed once more.
And we learned something else new, too: the old console rooms are archived.
Underneath all of this were the little details and questions that Gaiman poked at.
Where does the Doctor sleep?
Why does he always push the Tardis door open, when the sign clearly says pull?
And what of the line about the river being the only water in the forest?
Some credit, too, for the wonderful jokes.
