Basically - Its been Moffated…
I think the conclusion of Trenzalore, if there is any, is going to be very, very, disappointing. After all, look at how they handled the Doctor and River.
Starting out, the whole Doctor and River thing sounded interesting. Her Doctor, way older and experienced than Tennant’s doctor. Taught her how to properly fly the TARDIS in a far superior way. The way he met her. And then we find out that she first meets Smith’s goofy Doctor, which, while older, isn’t the far superior Doctor she talked about in “Silence of the Library” and its sequel. And the way they met doesn’t seem to match up with what River said in “The Impossible Astronaut”.
Loved it. It does bear mentioning that John Hurt is so damn incredible in everything that you just assume he will get the job done, but the wrong kind of performance there would’ve sunk it, IMO, and well, he was brilliant - the sadness when he was told about his “punishment”, his quirky comment about the red button, his banter with the other two doctors…he crushed it.
