The Magician's Apprentice
Reminded me immediately of Narnia, but that's the Magician's Nephew. It's not quite the Sorcerer's Apprentice either (you know, with Mickey Mouse)
The Witch's Familiar
Doesn't remind me of anything, but it's beautiful. And what bearing does either have on the episode????
The Girl Who Died/The Woman Who Lived
Is, of course, from Harry Potter: The Boy Who Lived
Sleep No More
Is the title of the Punchdrunk Macbeth production in New York; the full quote is
I thought I heard a voice cry, “Sleep no more! Macbeth is murdering sleep.”Face the Raven
Poe, obvs. For the rest of time, there can be no other raven which won't remind someone of Edgar Allen Poe's poem.
They also seem to be really into their clever pairs:
The Magician's Apprentice/The Witch's FamiliarLook, I know fans can build a theory out of old string and something Christopher Tolkien found on the back of a fag packet, but...
Under the Lake; Before the Flood
The Girl Who Died; The Woman Who Lived
The Zygon Invasion; The Zygon Inversion
Hell Bent; Heaven Sent
This is unusual and new. Is it meaningful?
