what have they been spiking Steven Moffatt's coffee with, I wonder...?

Obviously, obviously, since I'm currently a third of the way through a mega roadtrip which has so far involved random Denver police stations, close encounters with a grizzly bear and plate tectonics galore, I chose to spend the evening watching the series finale of Dr Who the minute I could find a reliable wifi connection...  well, hell, i watched last week's ep whilst sitting outside a tent in Wyoming so I wasn't exactly going to wait til i got home, dammit!!

And it was.. gloriously, wonderfully random, with much devious retroconning, heartrending goodbyes and weird memory/reality stuff going down.  My brain seriously hurts after all that, but there was a much better through-line than the RTD era finales (thankthankthankgod there were no scenes of bemused English townfolk wandering around wondering why the aliens were invading again.  That reset button thing has to be one of the Moff's best contributions...!)

I'm not sure if it worked entirely, mainly due to the fact that my brain literally can't process the amount of plot jumps required to fit everything in.
