It wasn't horrid at all. It was quite good, in fact. I do love Clara. If I could be sure she would have a less romantic relationship with the Doctor, I would be content with her. For the first time Matt seems like the Doctor to me, which is ironic, because I don't believe he IS the Doctor.
And yes I saw Blink. The ones I missed where the Dalek ones, 42 and the Lazarus one. I got very tired of Martha after Gridlock. And you are completely correct. That is the same tone. All of these pieces go hand in hand with the "Run, you clever boy, and remember!" which does tend to lend me the belief that the Doctor has been captured and all of this is part of his mental game to escape from "The Great Intelligence."
And, again, I return to the idea of the Matrix from Gallifrey, capturing him...or the time trap in End of Time. I will say, if Moff is playing that long a game...if he has had this entire idea in mind since he took over...then, I forgive him all.
As you can tell from my River/Doctor clip at the beginning of I&B the only scenario I am comfortable with for Eleven is that he is some sort of child Doctor in development. But it works for me virtually, too. If the shattering of the TARDIS at the regeneration caused the Doctor to be shunted into a sort of virtual afterlife with the magical Ponds and River and now Clara trying to break him out of it...I would be happy with Moff at long last. But, I just can't imagine he would try something so bold, or we would be so lucky, as to have his screwy universe make sense at last. If, however, he did pitch this idea to RTD and David and the BBC to get his job as showrunner...well...good on him. It would certainly explain all of the screwy elements in End of Time as well, the explosion and the woman in white...and the Ood being elevated by something.
