DW S4: In Which The Crack Is Totally Getting to Me...
I just finished watching the episode and I must admit the crack has finally gotten to me. D/R relevant. Sort of. If you squint. Spoilers for all UK aired episodes but nothing beyond that and the finale is only vaguely mentioned.
Prior to the series start I read that this year's "Bad Wolf" wasn't a phrase as such but a series of clues leading up to something special. Now at this moment, I have to say that my tongue is at least partially in my cheek when saying this (I'd say about 50/50).
I might just be being overly superficial but the thing that seems to be the continuing thread through all the episodes so far is...reproduction. Or if you want to be more specific, alien reproduction. The Adipose, the Pyro-whatsits, the Sontarans, Jenny and Rev. Golightly were all direct examples of some sort of continuation of a species (PotO dealt with this more indirectly but it still fits I think). In one way or another,all of these episodes represent some sort of procreation.
So what does that mean? Well, I don't know what will happen exactly but somehow the idea of continuing a species will be important for the finale. Maybe we will find out that Rose really was pregnant (because Time Lords reproduce through hugging, don't you know.) or that Jenny is the key to victory. But likely it will something less blatant but still relevant to the finale.
Honestly, a part of me thinks it has to be some sort of smoke screen and maybe the missing and/or destroyed planets are the real clue to what's going on (though whatever happens, this is probably an important part of it). And now I shall stop rambling before I actually convince myself this is true.
