This was one of the really unique episodes that defies description, and frankly I'm impressed you got as much mileage out of it as you did. I don't think I have much to add. To revisit the comparison I made yesterday, it does share some things in common with one of my favourites, "Demons of the Punjab", in its otherworldly vibes.
Edit: Actually, no. It's not just otherworldly vibes. It's that plus an exploration of a culture that's not my own.
The little line/quip about her story maybe being complete one day made me chuckle - and of course, the Doctor's story being neverending is part of the resolution.
Yeeeeeeeeah, I had the same thought. This sort of subject matter is something that Gaiman - scandal noted - excelled at.
And I have to agree, this season just might be an "all killer, no filler" season to rival the Ten/Donna season or Eleven's first season.
