Nicely done, Mr Moffat

Time Crash was quite fun!


Total kitsch of course, but neatly worked. Lampshade-hanging on Davison looking older, terribly fannish puns about the wearing of vegetables and so on, and best of all -- an explanation for the "how the hell did the Titanic crash through the wall of the TARDIS?" start of Voyage of the Damned, which suggests the Who team may actually have planned and integrated this! (The Doctor forgot to turn on the shields after putting the TARDIS back together from the Master's paradox machine, you see. As you do.)

Oh, and it seems John Barrowman can actually sing.

I thought that was lovely. Complete, crack-flavoured fluff, but it was lovely.

Though it has made me want to go out and buy some Fifth Doctor, as it has reminded me how much I love Davison (and there was actually something quite poignant about Five's cheerful 'My best to the future' and Tn's enthusiasm about how much fun it was to be Five - he must have forgotten Revelation of the Daleks, but don't we all wish we could...)

Figures. I'll have to look it up on YouTube now.

Just watched it. Hee! It made me happy.

It was ever so good. And I do like that they got that explanation in, because I had been wondering how a TARDIS that could hold off most anything got totalled by a steamship!

I do like Steven Moffat's writing and there was a reprise of "timey-whimey" from probably my favourite line of the last series: "This is my timey-whimey detector. It goes ping when there's stuff!"

How can you argue with that? :)
