This Week's Doctor Who

No spoilers in the comments. NONE. I have Yank friends with delayed access. Spoilers lifted when I've heard from all parties necessary.

But mission goddam accomplished. I was twelve again. Somehow that ending managed to stack multiple geekgasms on top of itself. From the start of a very weak season, we've come to the last few episodes being unending hammer blows of sci-fi coolness.

And yes, BLINK was brilliant. Choose either "quantum locked" -- which had Mark Waid calling me at 1 a.m. to scream like a schoolgirl -- or the directorial chops required to shoot a chase sequence starring inanimate objects for teh win.

That, by the way, is the measure of my bizarre cultural framework. Sunday night I watched Dr. Who, the season finale of Trailer Park Boys, and The Sopranos series finale (see Bob Harris for the analysis), and would put The Sopranos solidly in third place in that lineup of satisfaction.
