Oh, a few quick notes re this week's Doctor Who ...

• Part of me hopes they will take this opportunity to tie all the Dalek survival into one big lump. Currently there are three distinct instances of Daleks surviving the Great Distaster From Which No Dalek Could Possibly Have Escaped, which is somewhat stretching the bounds of credibility. From 1930s New York, it would be quite easy for (a) one gold Dalek to end up, broken and confused, in Van Statten's museum in 2012, and (b) the others to escape, hide in subspace, decide one of them is the Emperor and start converting humans into Daleks^[1] to build up their empire (in their Long Game). I half-suspected the human-to-Dalek conversion process was what the Great Experiment was going to be ... it's still not out of the question for Dalek Sec to become the Emperor, he does have that big throbbing brain after all.
• I still don't see the advantage of leaving behind your impervious flying battle-suit with built-in ray-guns, even if you do get "imagination".
• Why wasn't it called "The Daleks Take Manhatten!"?

Still, it was all good fun and I quite liked the musical number. Loved those wings...

I need to know. I cannot wait. No, not at all.

Although I hope we're all wrong, I really like hearing people guesses.
