Ooh, that's very interesting. I really liked the review's speculation on why the Church would go after the Doctor.

But I got tired real fast of Who fans' rush to see every new development as a return of [Classic series character or element X].

*nods* I think that desire is pretty prevalent in fandoms with a long history and lots of canon; I used to see it all the time in Power Rangers. Of course it's possible to bring back old elements and do it well, but I also think it can be limiting, as it means passing up opportunities for the story to grow in new directions. I'm really glad, for example, that River is her own person and not, e.g., a regeneration of Romana.
