I think that's what amuses me about the reaction, actually. People are arguing like we have anything solid to go on, when Who canon is wonky to begin with and we just rewrote the universe. Also we have a showrunner that loves screwing around with people, so anything that is implied, winked about, or all the way up to "confirmed" still has a pretty high percentage of being nonsense (I may have learned to laugh at this behavior by watching Homestuck fandom, though. It has a notoriously wank-baiting creator and a fanbase that thinks everything makes perfect sense). I'm also not trying to participate in any of the arguments, though, which is probably why it doesn't bother me so much that people are bonkers. The looms are so canon, I don't care what canon says! ^_^
I would love to see the Doctor accidentally getting married. That'd be way more awesome than all the other scenarios everyone seems to be focusing on. Though I don't think that's quite Gaiman's style... I keep picturing some kind of Bride of Frankenstein sort of scenario when I think of the fact that he wrote it. (Then again, it could be an accidental occult wedding. That'd make sense for Gaiman.)
>.> The way I'm thinking of the Sesame prompt, it's sort of possible to do without creepifying Sesame Street too much (or rather, without making the characters themselves creepy, or damaging their innocence irreparably, which are things I don't condone). I've been thinking of it as a children's book warning them to stay away from the , complete with a bonus lesson about the problems of infinity ("Hallways can be lots of sizes. If Big Bird lies down in this hallway, you can fit eight more Big Birds. Count them! No one knows how many Big Birds long this hallway is. This hallway is bad. Stay out of this hallway.")
