(Cheap-ass micro-post just to keep my streak up; I've got a massive Mass Effect post for tomorrow and a broader Buffy-themed post for Friday, but neither is done yet.)
So apparently they're dragging the Queen Elizabeth throwaway joke back for "Day of the Doctor."
What Queen Elizabeth joke? Way way back in Season 3 (of the new series), in "The Shakespeare Code," the Doctor and company have to bugger off at the end of the episode because Queen Liz I finds out the Doctor's in time and she's angry at him for some reason. The Doctor idly quips that he'd love to know what he did, because he hasn't done it yet. This was an episode that aired in 2007.
For comparison's sake, imagine if Buffy had revisited the mantis eggs from 1.04, "Teacher's Pet," in Season 7. What mantis eggs? Remember the episode about the teacher who turns out to be a preying mantis demon who feeds on virgins? And even though she's dead by the time the episode ends, the final shot is a bunch of eggs in her closet, ready to hatch?
...anyway, you'd think Moffat has enough loose threads of his own to wrap up before getting involved with his predecessors. Hey, while we're on the subject of old unanswered questions, what's the deal with the whole "Captain Jack is missing two years of his memories" thing from the first episode he was in?
