while genuinely delightful, is superfluous: If we're meant to believe that Wilf and the Doctor are bound by some sort of mysterious force to keep meeting over and over, then wouldn't that idea come across more forcefully if Wilf was acting alone? The Timothy Dalton narration, I thought, was quite effective, and the bit at the middle of the episode in which he sums up what's going on does a decent job of helping the viewer navigate the messy plot, while also (perhaps intentionally?) highlighting the mess of it all. The return of the Time Lords was really rather obvious (based on how Davies does these big events), and the big question now is whether they're here to stay. Davies has a habit of shaking up the status quo only to put it back the way it was, which fans refer to, quite rightly, as the reset button. But wouldn't the ultimate reset button be for Davies to restore the Whoniverse back to the condition in which he found it? Either way, whatever status quo we find at the end of the story is the one we'll be seeing for the Moffatt era and beyond. At the moment, I think it could go either way, and that's something I'm kind of excited about, but we'll know in a couple of days. Is it possible that this entire episode has happened inside the Matrix? Or perhaps the whole RTD era has! There have been accusations that this episode moved too slow,
