Not you too Jez!
It was a *rest of season* trailer,
not Next Time! I honestly don't understand how some people can still think that!
(Couldn't resist, as Tom summed up my thoughts so well.)

I wholeheartedly disagree. I think this episode was excellent -- an improvement even above some of the other stellar offerings this season. In fact, I've had to restrain myself from giving it a 10/10, as was my first impulse. The plot was strong, playing on a basic human urge -- to extend life. Unlike many RTD scripts, the details seemed to hold up to scrutiny as well. I was extremely impressed with what Stephen Greenhorn brought to the show and I'd like to see him write again.

Can't say I experienced that same problem when I watched it. Actually, I was extremely impressed with the incidental music this year. I think Murray outdid himself with this one. Might email him to congratulate him on a job well done... not that he'll respond.

Indeed! These references are shaping up much better than the Torchwood references last year, or even the Bad Wolf references the year before. This motif is actually quite exciting, and I get excited every time I hear "Saxon," unlike last year, when I groaned every time I heard "Torchwood."

Somehow I don't think we're supposed to read into any anagrams that turn up. We know it contains Master, but I don't think the rest means anything at all. Frankly, Ronn, I'm surprised to see you of all people getting caught up in the anagram hype. You don't seem the type.
