In which we travel along the World Tree, the Forest is the Afterlife, there is both Love and Death, we are on the Road of Trials stage, the Doctor is Alec Palmer and River Song is everywhere.

Ah, those images...fantastic fire and water, rebirth and baptism. And, that scene with Amy on the beach where she says "what are you thinking" and he says "Time can be rewritten" as they are looking out over the sea always struck me as so incredibly important....he's just had the convo with River at that point - and everything can be reborn in the womb of the sea, it's where life came from and it's the arhcetypal womb - what better element to rewrite time and birth thing anew. But, I'm rambling now...

Totally agree with you about The Tempest being ethereal and magical in the way that series 5 was, and the way that you describe it to Elisi just sooooo fits with so many things about Moffat's Who.

The next ep...oooh ~dances~. Was saying to Janie below that if we're tracking the Monomyth and are in stage 2, then the next ep is the Meeting with the Goddess stage. Clara and the Doctor are also very interesting to me at the mo, their dynmaic...i wonder if we've ever seen a mentor/initiate relationship so laden with mistrust. From the preview at the end of this last ep, it looks like that relationship's going to fracture further...i wonder what will be at the core of it. In that satge of the Monomyth, the power of Love is at the core, it's the Hero's meeting with the pure power of love....hmmmm....
