"Dearly beloved is doing a b/g rewatch of Star Trek: The Next Generation while she works. I now realise I see Doctor Who as basically Q-in-a-box." -- Si Spurrier

"The main challenge I find writing Smith is not to over-write him. He lends himself to train of thought dialogue. Things occurring to him in an instant. Jokes, ideas. He is almost too easy to write dialogue for, which is a problem in itself. You look at a page of script and there's a tonne of dialogue there, and it might be very good dialogue, but comics are a visual medium. If you have a page filled with voice balloons, it's going to be a dull-looking book." -- Rob Williams

Oh, good, a melancholy story where Eleven seems to be uncertain if he's made a completely unnecessary blunder or surrendered to a necessary evil after sending one of his assistants into almost certain death! Much sad eyes and moping for days! Nice change of pace, that, we never get those.

Edit: I'm sorry for complaining. This actually looks pretty interesting, and not completely un-hopeful. It just reminded me of some of the grimmer parts of Moffat & Smith's characterisation of the Doctor. This is actually more fun than lots of Series Six.
