(Attention all UK readers, I know you've seen the midseason finale already, but it hasn't aired in the US yet. So don't say ANYTHING about it. I mean anything! Remember the No Spoiler Rule! Thank you.)

My review of the two-parter is after the jump.

Doctor Who is a show that every time I watch an episode I think: Do I need to write about this? And that question is playing in my head after watching a very well crafted episode of the show by Neil Gaiman. In a quieter week where I have more time I would sit there and dissect how well executed having the Doctor meet the unsung hero of his life, the TARDIS, was but with the upfronts looming and a lot of other things going on all I really have time to say is "That was freaking awesome". 

I'll be back in two weeks with thoughts on the upcoming two parter.

But for now, what did everyone think about tonight's episode?

(I'd like to apologize for the delay on this review. Lots of other work got in the way of writing about these episodes. I contemplated not writing about them at all, but these are too important to pass over, especially because I won't be writing about episode 3).

It took a lot of thought for me to decide how to approach these two part episodes of Doctor Who. To maximize my enjoyment (and avoid a lot of hand wringing over the cliffhanger) I decided to watch the two hour premiere together, instead of in two pieces. My thoughts on these two episodes, which essentially told one story, are after the jump.
