That... wasn't really a spoiler at all

It kind of was. Anyway, just spoiler everything if you're unsure. Nobody's going to yell at you for making them click an extra time.

That episode wasn't scary at all. A few things made me say "f'uck" cos they were unexpected, but as a whole episode it wasn't scary. I liked the episode, though. Nice to take a break from River Song and Amy for a while. Plus it was nice to see Amy "die" rather than Rory.

It wasn't genuinely creepy like say the Weeping Angels or the Silence, more like B-movie scary. And George being an alien was definitely unexpected. The biggest surprise for me was how the father could genuinely forget his wife couldn't have kids and yet George was "born"; that was probably the creepiest part for me. But at least knowing the Tenzas aren't bloodthirsty aliens made me feel okay about it. The only thing of course is how to handle his powerful mental abilities.

I kept getting deja vu moments while watching episode 9:

It was a fun episode though.

Did anyone else find the stories the Doctor mentioned as really cute/hilarious?

-The Three Little Sontarans
-The Emperor Dalek's New Clothes
-Snow White and the Seven Keys to Doomsday.

I can't begin to imagine what shenanigans the Emperor Dalek would have done to his dressers when it finds out it was tricked.

It is cute, and I like how they keep putting in little references to the old series.

I cant wait till Moffat gets replaced. I really hate what he's done to Doctor Who. It is more Soap than anything nowdays.

What episodes were Soap to you? The episodes that Moffat writes tends to be stuff that'll make you not want to sleep, or at least make you question your surroundings. You can't deny the Weeping Angels or the Silence were created to make you feel happy.

I'm talking about the whole tone of the show.

Since Moffat took over as head honcho it has become a soapy relationship drama, with some action thrown in as an afterthought, rather than the pure action adventure show it was. And I hate season long story arcs too. The last 2-3 seasons have just been one long story. I'd love to see the show go back to its pre Russell T Davies era, it was good then.

Maybe it's because I only watched the new series, but I don't feel the action diminished that much. I also feel that the Doctor was trying more to scare off aliens rather than kill them. I see it as a new approach to a very old character whose usual response to those that threaten him or those he cares about is downright destroying them. And I dunno, it doesn't seem to bad to have a general long reaching arc. I felt the first 1/2 of season 6 was incredibly strong because of the long story arc that lead up to the huge reveal. I still need to watch all of Series 4 and 5, so I may be speaking out of my place.

Have you considered listening to the Big Finish audios? They're still doing 4 episode stories with pretty much every classic Doctor still alive.

Also, why do you hate season long story arcs? I liked the old serial format too, but I kinda understand why they changed it with new Who. I still prefer the Moffat seasons to the RTD ones, because I like the way Moffat handles relationships better.

I haven't been posting because I'm completely baffled by the last few episodes. My one-track mind keeps asking why/where the story arc has disappeared to. I feel like I've been hit in the face with a trifecta of filler episodes while someone is giggling and writing in devious twists that happen offscreen. That's cheating! Rolleyes

Seriously, there's one episode left. How is everything going to get wrapped up? Is everything going to get wrapped up this season? Argh.

That's Moffat for you. He exists to screw with us Whovians, but in a good way.
