I agree with you Doctor Who assessment. So much love for this episode! And I hadn't watched ANY Who since halfway through last season. (Sorry, hating the Moffat Dynasty at the moment)
But oh, how I loved the TARDIS and the Doctor saying their farewells but not so because the TARDIS instead said hello. How I adored that we saw the old Eccleston season control room! And mostly, I loved just the idea of how throughout ALL the Doctor Who series, the one constant has always been the TARDIS so of course the TARDIS is the wife.
I liked that Gaiman really highlighted how the Doctor is both so alone and yet so blessed to have that one constant companion. I practically cried with the Doctor when the TARDIS said hello and pretty much cheered with glee when it flipped the switches to take him to the next planet at the end of the episode.
