Here lie some very vague, probably poorly explained, thinky thoughts about the midseason finale of Doctor Who. Any responses welcome! (nothing about the teaser for the second half of the series, though, please.)( SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! )

It is. Honest. Well, it’s either one of two things: Moffat is an unsurpassed, twisty-turny wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey GENIUS; or I am an over-analytical conspiracy freak. Quite frankly, I’m happy with both possibilities, so onward to the theorising!
Beware: Spoilers for up to ep.5, “Flesh and Stone”.

( This way, this way... )
