Meta

Well, series 3 on Tumblr has been a virtual smorgasbord in terms of fan meta posts. I have enjoyed my week of reading immensely to the point where I decided to bring the links together in one place for posterity. Spoilers abound. Be warned.

Important note: adding these links does not mean I agree 100% with what was said in every post, but that I do think they have been well argued. They are each interesting opinions and analyses by some very clever people which are subject to change and revision, as is right and proper.
