I have little constructive to add to this, except the parallels are incredible and your meta-mind is a beautiful to perceive it all ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Loving the reasoning Moffat gave, behind the idea of the episode… It was also very interesting to see the way you treated the two parallel stories unfolding and the link between them, much smoother that way. I was SO HAPPY to find that Moffat interview, because it confirmed my reading 100%. (And as I said - the second they started talking about the children I knew something was up. Because I knew Moffat wouldn't let the Doctor go there.)
It doesn't do wood! Oh, goodness. Love this. IKR?
The Seven reference is a thing of beauty as well ♥ There must be a TON of little things scattered throughout, I just don't know Classic Who well enough to spot them.
And I was pretty fascinated with your analysis of Eleven's character and journey—the place of the anniversary within the story as a whole feels a lot clearer now… YAY! As I'm sure you remember, you helped me focus on that.
And OH GOD RIVER IS EVERYWHERE. I was not expecting this. *flails* It's magical. All the parallels. (And weddings!!! o.O) River is everything. But we knew that. :)
Your Clara thoughts were also spot-on, how special her POV was—the idea that the Doctor is always so attentive to her is so right and i'm loving it. Oh Clara. I can't wait to see what Christmas will bring. She will be pivotal in his death, I know it. (Not in a bad way, just... She is the catalyst.)
Basically—the meta is mind-blowing. As always. *tips hat* *curtsies*
