What with several of the people on my friendslist and blogroll being always a week ahead of me, I failed to avoid learning about half a dozen things about Neil Gaiman's Doctor Who episode before I saw it. A title, a line of dialogue, a couple of screenshots, you know the sort of thing.

Not one of them, in context, meant what I expected it would.

(To be clear, this is a good thing.)


[Edit to add: Another good thing was that, after the meal various people including me had made of Neil's teaser about the "old friend with a new face", the episode itself explained what that really meant early on, so I could relax and enjoy the rest of the episode in peace. I once had the experience of reading a novel thinking I'd been spoiled for something unpleasant happening to the lead character; in fact, I'd misunderstood and nothing of the sort did happen, but I still spent the entire book waiting for it to happen and that was just as bad as if I'd been really spoiled. I'm glad that didn't happen here.]

I recently discovered that our cable lineup now includes BBC America so I've been loading our DVR with new episodes, including Gaiman's. Looking forward to finally seeing the latest Doctor at work.
