*Spoilers*
Oh, well, THERE’S a thing … !
I have to admit, I’m like a lot of people I’ve met, over the years: I like backing up DVDs.
What’s more, I like having a way of getting those DVDs.
And, while I’ve got tonight’s episode of Dr Who gently ripping to my hard-drive … ? I thought I should let you know that the latest version of
HandBrake.
At ANY rate … ?
At ANY rate, that’s not quite what I was going to tell you about.
No …
I was going to tell you about … …
~≈†≈~
Just in case you hadn’t been sent one of the accidentally early release DVDs of the complete series 7 … ?
The Name Of The Doctor is the finale to Series 7 of the rebooted Dr Who: it sees Clara being contacted — in a telepathic conference call — by Madame Vastra, who’s also brought Jenny, Strax …
And River Song, herself, to the do.
Seemingly, the Doctor’s greatest secret is under threat: and that his greatest secret is at the one place a time-traveller should never go.
His own tomb …
At Trenzalore …
And unfortunately? The Doctor soon realises that’s the one place he has to go: in order to the Paternoster Row gang: it’s the only right and proper thing to do, as they’ve cared so well for him.
Of course they get rescued.
And of course, the Doctor’s under threat. His tomb, a slowly sickening TARDIS, contains his entire timeline as a scar on the fabric of space time.
A scar that only one woman can enter in order to repeatedly rescue him.

Now …
Did I thoroughly enjoy this episode … ?
I think I can safely say “Yes”. Now I now Steven Moffat’s had his critics, whilst in post as the shows head, over the years: although I personally feel he’s been given an unnecessarily hard time with it.
With The Name Of The Doctor, though … ?
I feel that whatever you may say about him, he’s turned in a fantastic series seven conclusion: and while he may not have suppled EVERY answers … ?
He HAS managed to give us a BARNSTORMING cliff-hanging … !
Enjoy the six month wait, folks … !

I have to say I enjoyed the episode, thoroughly, and I'm looking forward to what's coming up! :)
I do enjoy any episode with River, I must confess!
Not to mention that warrior fellow, who's egg-shaped and whose name has slipped my mind. My brain is like a sieve! :-O
I hope you'll check out my blog tomorrow or today. Monday. :)
I wouldn’t worry, Debbi, you should see mine, sometimes … !
And, yes, I know who you mean: Strax!!
He bags some of the best lines … !
