I cringed until they decided to lampshade (thank you for that term, tvtropes) it by having Craig be all "I saved the world with love!" and the doctor muttering about how it was actually human instinct to protect offspring and genes and so on, but yes, okay, you can think it was love.
haha, i've never heard that term before. it's cool. it makes me think of
anchorman: i love lamp.
I kind of hope we're done with the flesh, since having a flesh-Amy was such a huge story twist that I don't think they can pull it off twice, but on the other hand that would be a convenient way for the doctor to get killed-but-not-really.
i'm leaning less and less towards the flesh now. like you say, it will be a little too convenient, and i seem to remember old canton telling amy and rory and river that the dead doctor was no robot or clone, it was the real deal.
i'm thinking more and more now that it's going to be all about alternate/parallel timelines or something. moffat is keen on his timey-wimey approach to
who.
only a few hours until we find out though, woo!
that
is cool :)
and on the subject of river song timelines, there's apparently such a thing introduced by alex kingston on tonight's
doctor who confidential. i don't usually watch it, but tonight's episode looks good: there's also a mini doctor who episode written by children from a school in basingstoke (just up the road from me).
