I agree, some of the episode did sound more like it was written for Ten rather than Eleven. I was particularly struck by Amy's interactions with the Doctor, actually - the whole 'Don't get emotional' bit sounded more Rusty-era than Moffat.

But still, awesome, awesome episode. So much love for Suranne!TARDIS. How can one person be that gorgeous?

It was more the LOOK AT ME, I AM AN ANGRY ANGSTY TIME LORD grumpiness and bitchiness that I wasn't so keen on, because we got enough of that with the first four seasons and I've been so glad that we've mostly been rid of it with Eleven. A bit of grump is okay because that's what the Doctor always does, but it was starting to edge a bit too close to that. I mean, I didn't want to punch the Doctor yet, so that was good, so it wasn't like it was horrible. But I did notice those certain Angry Timey elements in there some fanboys just love to write and which are, by now, pretty old. So that was a bit disappointing because it didn't show anything new (neither did the TARDIS corridor scenes, sadly partially because the "oh look, Amy is faced with the prospect of a dying Rory" thing has been done so many times already). Eleven's interactions with Idris!TARDIS were new, though, and that's where it got interesting

I'm probably easier on this stuff than most, but I felt like his anger and angst were justified (unlike with Ten where it seemed like he was ALWAYS angry and angsting). Those Time Lord distress-calls-in-boxes were pretty distressing.

God, I loved the TARDIS, LOVED HER. When I saw the episode title, I thought it was going to be about River Song, but wow! Of course she is!!!

I agree the boxes were very distressing and he had the right to be angry. Maybe it was that, my Rusty PTSD and the fact that he had other grump and angry modes all throughout the ep, so he was grumpier than Eleven has been so far. But like I said, Matt's grump is preferable to the endless endless grump and teeth-gritting of Rusty's Docs. Those boxes made me go :O and they were just one of those moments that will stay with me forever. That was so terrifying.

I felt the title was unfair considering his Gallifreyan wife/whoever Susan's gran may have been, but of course, the TARDIS is the love of his life, so that works, too. And yes, Idris/Suranne was just perfect, perfect, perfect:D

Well, he may have had more than one wife. In different time continuums, even.

Oh, absolutely. He's a complete spacewhore.
