I plan on it, if I can find a new approach or figure out how to revamp the old one. (Because it's now one of many things I want to touch on, not the main thing.)
Indeed. Esp since that plot line isn't closed at all (IMHO), since they never discovered WHO caused Silence to Fall.
Yes, I did. :P And I agree-- it's not completely closed for that reason, but I don't think we'll revist the cracks. (I like your thought it's Omega.)
this is why the Doctor decides that actually he *can* cheat death, because he's already re-booted the universe. Otherwise it's just ridiculously selfish to risk the fate of the universe just 'cause you want another few years.
Good point! But I still disagree. For all Moffat's timey-wimey writing, the arcs are progressing in linear mode. It's River's story that's mostly out of order. So looping back to something like that… It just doesn't *feel* right to me-- I can't explain it more than that, I'm sorry.
Thank you for your interesting comments! And disagreeing is fun, when done like this - I look forward to seeing which one of us is right!
I'm always worried about being taken the wrong way-- arguing instead of debating-- in interpretations. And it is fun. *grins* Knowing Moffat, we both will be. But I'm looking forward to it all the same.
