Twice Upon a Time
I realise it's been more than a month, and this is... Well, it is what it is. It was a lovely, lovely episode, but rounding up the end of an era is hard. So this isn't that, it's just a heap of scattered thoughts strung together. I will also post a take that is all poetry, but this one is probably better for talking about. :)

Great point. I was one of those who found the sexism jokes a bit too on-the-nose, but I’ll take your word for it about the verbatim lines…
Moffat, in this interview talks about how falling in love makes us fully human - how we are now more than ourselves, we are ‘the one who loves such-and-such, and is loved by them’. .. ASHILDR: And how many have you lost? How many Claras?

Moffat does away with the big drama, and just tells the story of a man (two men, no three men) scared of dying and change.
Beauteous.
The Waste Land is all about WWI, and that's what this episode centers on too.
Listen... don't you think it's time to apply for a position on the Who writing team. Think on it.

Moffat - somewhere - talked about it, and said how he loves the old show, but winces a lot when watching. Not that it wasn;t ground breaking in many ways, but Companions who were cast to 'appeal to the dads', running around in high heels and short skirts... (and did their damnedest, all hail!). It was a different time.

♥ ♥ ♥ The Clara part is woe-fully underwritten, but it's like... there is SO MUCH CLARA. I don't know where to start.
Beauteous.
It really is, isn't it?

There is a big difference between writing meta & writing TV scripts. Especially Doctor Who scripts which are notoriously difficult. However, Owls, Proton & I were talking about writing a book about Dr Why & The Waste Land (like I said - brief poetry post still to come).
