Did I miss any homages in DW: “The God Complex”?

Having only seen it the one time, there are elements in the episodes that may be less foreshadowing than referential …

  • Eleven having no problem eating an apple.
  • Lucy “the last to go, who left the note” - saying goodbye to the Policewoman uniform?
  • The Williams’ Blue-house-with-a-blue-door. (I love how 11 accepts she is not “Amelia Pond”, but “Amy Williams”)
  • Rita - a reference to Martha Jones (able physician), or goodbye to the blue scrubs?
  • Eleven picking up a Rubik’s Cube.
  • Eleven’s fears in room #11?
  • Paranoid blogger - reference to “Rose” (Nine’s episode 1)…or US?
  • Assuming the minotaur is just because they were in a labyrinth - is the labrynth a refernce to the 80’s film about the young girl who has to grow up and put away childish things?

…I’m sure there are more - what did YOU think was a reference?

Concept Art: Doctor Who Ponies are four-legged terrors(via @io9)

Artist EatToast transforms sweet, innocent ponies into Doctor Who aliens — the malevolent Cybermen, the creepy Silence, the tentacle-faced Ood. You’ll never look at pastel ponies quite the same way.

I put myself somewhere between the S-list and the M-list, with a compelling case to be made for the P-list*
