Eeeeeeeeeeeee! SARAH JANE! And The Moment! Yessssssssssss.

Also my meta-brain has FINALLY returned, and I am happily free-falling through 3+ series of layers and metaphors and imagery and timey-wimey-storytelling and everything is good!

Has anyone else noticed that with Moffat's writing, there are these metaphors that become so actually, physically literal that they get even more metaphorical than that? Am I making any sense at all?
Totally. It's basically his MO: make allllllll the metaphors real!

And I am now basically blanking for examples, except for one which is extra delicious because it's also playing on one of Rusty's little overblown speeches, which is that, as of the Pandorica/exploding TARDIS, the Doctor does literally burn in the center of time. Also River.

River's whole story is pretty much metaphors made literal.
