New Who 6.12 Closing Time

On the whole, this was a great episode. Funny, nicely-plotted, and leading neatly and sometimes quite poignantly towards the heavily-signposted events of the season finale. I should have loved it. But what a pity ( about the racefail )

( And the other predictable and cringeworthy tropes as well )

OK, so let's try to get back to the goodness. ( Continuity refs and other cool stuff )

As for next week's episode, ( whacking great signposts and smaller pointers )

Anyway, all to be revealed - along with some alt-universe Romans - next week!

[And I will finish and post my review of last week's episode shortly, I swear. I've just been rather overloaded with work and short of available spare brain-juice in the last week. It's half-written, but needs smoothing out from some random notes into something tolerably fluent before I can post it. I hope to get that done before heading for bed tonight.]
