NuWho - Series 7, Episode 8 - The Rings of Akhaten - Season 33, Story 232

====================================
Quotes
====================================

"Because this exact leaf had to grow in that exact way in that exact place so that precise wind could tear it from that precise branch and make it fly into this exact face at that exact moment. And if just one of those tiny little things had never happened, I'd never have met you. Which makes this the most important leaf in human history." ~ Dave Oswald

"She's just a girl. How can she be? She can't be. She is. She can't be. She's not possible." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

Clara: I don't know. You know when someone asks you what's your favourite book and straight away you forget every single book that you've ever read?
The 11th Doctor: No. Totally not.

The 11th Doctor: Do you know, I forget how much I like it here. We should come here more often.
Clara: You've been here before?
The 11th Doctor: Yes, yes, yes. I came here a long time ago with my granddaughter.
Clara: Hang on!

"You're a thousand years old. You must have something you care about." ~ Clara

"Listen. There's one thing you need to know about travelling with me. Well, one thing apart from the blue box and the two hearts. We don't walk away." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

Clara: Did you just lock us in with the soul eating monster?
The 11th Doctor: Yep.

"All the elements in your body were forged many, many millions of years ago, in the heart of a far away star that exploded and died. That explosion scattered those elements across the desolations of deep space. After so, so many millions of years, these elements came together to form new stars and new planets. And on and on it went. The elements came together and burst apart, forming shoes and ships and sealing wax, and cabbages and kings. Until eventually, they came together to make you. You are unique in the universe." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

Clara: I say leg it.
The 11th Doctor: Leg it where, exactly?
Clara: Don't know. Lake District?
The 11th Doctor: Oh, the Lake District's lovely. Let's definitely go there. We can eat scones. They do great scones in 1927.

"I walked away from the last Great Time War. I marked the passing of the Time Lords. I saw the birth of the universe and I watched as time ran out, moment by moment, until nothing remained. No time. No space. Just me. I walked in universes where the laws of physics were devised by the mind of a mad man. I've watched universes freeze and creations burn. I've seen things you wouldn't believe. I have lost things you will never understand. And I know things. Secrets that must never be told. Knowledge that must never be spoken." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"Well, come on then. Eat up. Are you full? I expect so, because there's quite a difference, isn't there, between what was and what should have been. There's an awful lot of one, but there's an infinity of the other. And infinity's too much, even for your appetite." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

====================================
Trivia
====================================

Unlike the previous episodes of Series 7, this episode does not introduce a new variation of the Doctor Who logo.

This is the first episode since her departure that does not have Amy Pond referenced and inadvertently affecting the plot or story. The word 'Pond' was what got the Doctor to come out of retirement in The Snowmen and an image on the cover of the book she wrote, Summer Falls, became a manifestation for a Spoonhead in The Bells of Saint John.

This is the first episode in Doctor Who history to have a musical theme.

The Doctor mentions bringing his granddaughter to Akhaten at some point in time, though she is not mentioned by name. Most likely referring to his granddaughter and past companion Susan Foreman, this would be the first explicit mention of her in the revived series.
