the tone shift from Davies to Moffat must be SHOCKING for new viewers lollll

Crowley + book quotes

imagine youre at the end of the universe with your best friend, and you panic and shake salt everywhere, which forcibly changes your genre to fantasy. like i would never live that down

I’m convinced that this is somehow related to 14 using the salt trick at the end of the universe in wild blue yonder and letting myths and legends in… plus the toy maker returning and breaking the laws further. 15 says at the end of the giggle that it’s due to the way the toy maker affected the universe he now gets to magically “claim a prize” in the way of an extra tardis with his giant hammer. And now we have goblins feeding off of coincidence, the “bogeyman”, stepping on the butterfly changing the course of human history, etc. And I haven’t even seen 14x02 yet….

My favourite thing from the new episodes is the lore they're building around Gods (or those from outside the universe) being able to interact with the 4th wall.

I cant quite remember but I think the Toymaker made a few nods to it? The Maestro absolutely did. They took the 4th wall and said hey babes! Pay attention to me ;) right now ;) LOOK AT ME

But the DOCTOR. Oh my god the DOCTOR Literally saying "I thought that was non-diagetic" The fact he can hear the shows backing music!!! (Does he just tune it out normally??) Absolutely insane concept i love it.

You could argue they alluded to this with the 12th Doctor playing the show's theme tune but to outright state it. My god where are they going with this i am obsessed

Similarly him winking to the camera at the end. Very reminicent of the 4th doctor skirting the same line.

But to have what were little silly allisions pointed out and clearly wrapped into the story? As a way of showing showing us WHO is godlike and WHO has connections to outside the universe? Again i am obsessed.

I'm guessing it will tie into their continued explorations of the Timeless Child. I am so excited to find out. I am so excited for more silly 4th wall breakers or perhaps one who makes it terrifying.

As a last, this also implies Mrs Flood is a God. Not surprising but interesting... I have absolutely no idea what to make of any of this.
