It's difficult to get ones thoughts across when your tapping on a phone. I think my brain was making a gumbo of the recent over-analyzing of Series 5.
 
IT'S A SPATIAL REASONING JOKE AND A METAPHOR ABOUT PERSONAL GROWTH ALL IN ONE!!!

I thought it was merely that the TARDIS was rebuilding itself. Some furnature getting pushed around and such. Funny Doctor falling into the pool. I don't believe Moffat was thinking it through so analytically. . . 


Alright, I reread the article more slowly. I'm usually forced to just pick out words from paragraphs instead reading all the way through, as I have difficulty focusing. Trying to piece it all together can lead to half-understandings and such.

I think I'd become rather irritated by what the critic called Homer's "tiresome clichés" and stopped taking much interest in the article from then on. 

Julian Gough seemed to navigate away from the tremendous rich and celebrated history of comic theater (only briefly mentioning Greek comedy) and focused solely on areas that best supported his viewpoint.

Rather harsh about the Christian religion too, I might add. He clearly didn't do much research into the Mystery Cycles and passion plays. People really did love to see the Devil being hit with a frying pan.

As I don't read much these days, I'm not sure what's topping the bestseller lists. That said, there has never been a drop off of comedy within television, film or theater. 

Comedy flurishes, in all its plentiful mediums. 

Also slightly miffed Terry Pratchett wasn't mentioned.
