Now I have to go watch the prequel again, too. You make so many good points. My favorite: "I just feel like you oughtn't to drop terrifying existential problems into an episode and then fail to deal with them, perhaps." So true. But dealing with them is so much harder than just dropping them in, isn't it?

It really is! I can see how it happens, too: you think, "ooh, wouldn't it be cool to write a story about downloading people?" and then just forget to think about what it really means.

I really love the prequel - little Clara is adorable, and I love the way Eleven and Matt Smith interact with children.
