Forget about transport troubles, the Olympics was the cause of another kind of gridlock this weekend – a digital gridlock as the entire interwebs took to Twitter to comment on just how weird Danny Boyle’s exemplary opening ceremony was and ask: “When’s The Doctor showing up?” Sadly he didn’t (except in sound effect form), which means the 2012 Olympics can’t be considered Canon anymore. We must be in the wrong reality…
In barely-related news the Olympics was the catalyst for this tweet by celebrated Batman scribe Paul Dini:
