Where did the tin soldier without the rifle actually come from? From Danny? He got it from Clara. Clara gave it to the Doctor....where it eventually ended up with Danny and then Danny's descendants.
Mine head hurts.
Now I have to wait for the repeat on Saturday to hear again just what Child-Doctor's parents/guardians were saying about him. Was interrupted just then (figures.)
Am also now wondering if one of those guardians was ginger.
Arc tie-ins: Mirrors in all episodes? Reflections? Introspection of the soul? Heaven and possible 'judgement by "god"'?)
Just had a thought: How do we know that kid in the barn was The Doctor's younger self and not his son...with one of the guardians being a Younger Doctor....and the son later begot Susan Foreman?
I feel like Sherlock....need more data!
