Yeah, my reaction to the ship room was "Oh, that set again."
To be fair we are supposed to go "Oh, that set again" and realize its appearance was foreshadowing and Moffat is GEEEEEEEENIUS. Which, eh. Sometimes the Moff can pull the puzzly foreshadowing stuff off -- I didn't even catch the future Doctor's appearance in "Flesh and Stone" until "The Big Bang" pointed it out to me -- but sometimes it just comes off as him going "LOOK! LOOK HOW CLEVER I AM!"
BBCA needs to get the Confidential episodes. Or at least put them on On Demand.
Apparently there's rights issues, which . . . whatever. You know the North American fanbase is huge and rabid, BBCA is *co-funding* the production, clear the rights for North America already. It's like the geek version of Field of Dreams: IF YOU CLEAR IT WE WILL WATCH.
Except me. I'll continue to acquire them through alternate means because I don't have access to BBCA.
The other thing I noted that seems to have been glossed over: the BTTF3 problem. There's a spare TARDIS in 2011!
What, Suicidal Future Doctor's TARDIS? Dunno, we never actually see him with one, do we? He must've had it at some point but he's got a car in Utah. I'm hoping Moffat's better than just leaving TARDISes lying around everywhere and we'll find out what happened to Suicidal Future Doctor's TARDIS. Betting it's connected to why he's Suicidal Future Doctor to begin with. We've seen his reaction to being stuck on Earth without a TARDIS before and it wasn't pretty.
