I've been a DW fan since the beginning (here in the U.S. this show really blew up big in the 70's with the Tom Baker years. I've always relished in the genius of the writers of this series (where DO they get these ideas from????) and the action and humor of the show. But I don't recall such a brilliant and touching episode as this one in recent memory! It feels almost like a great feature film with the smart and poetic narration by Ms. Kingston. And without spoiling, the subplot between River Song and the Doctor is fascinating to say the least. The ending is as touching and beautiful as anything Steven Spielberg could dream up (remember the end of "E.T."? It is that powerful!). If this episode doesn't win a pile of awards, then something is wrong with the world! Absolute brilliance.
