I've always wondered about the TARDIS doors in the early series too. I like your explanation. :-)
Re. the Cybermen, I have to admit, I wondered if a part of the reason they chose Cybermen for the end of last series was so Twelve and One would have just another thing in common here! But, ooh, I hadn't thought about the fact that both their second stories were about Daleks – nice catch!
And thank you for the thoughts on why they chose to look back to One here and that it's about how far he's come since then. I hadn't *quite* got there yet.
The Imp of the Pandorica. - that got a bit of a double-take from me too!
I do like the fact that Twelve's last line is almost a direct opposite of Ten's. I know you've spoken before about Moffat 'fixing' all the things about the Doctor that RTD 'broke' and I think this encapsulates that. Twelve goes with the dignity that Ten, by that point, was dreadfully lacking and I shall miss him all the more for it.
I'm just really glad he's got someone who looks absolutely awesome to follow him. :-)
