Sigh. Sigh.
I didn't care about this episode either way. I didn't like it, but I'm not enraged by it. Well, okay, I am a little enraged. I thought the plot was silly. I don't like that Miss Evangalista had to be ugly in order to be smart. I didn't like how River and Donna's ideal worlds = kids. I don't like that River is speshul enough to know the Doctor's name, for whatever reason it was, marriage, sex, he says his own name when he tells a particular joke that he only tells to people he really really likes, whatever. I'm usually impressed with Moffat's episodes. Even though I didn't like all of GitF, I thought it was well written. This two parter was just really disappointing. It wasn't scary, and the way he got rid of the monsters was lame and abrupt.
I doubt that River will come back, but she is locked into the Doctor's future now no matter what, and I don't like that. I don't like the inevitability of it and how Moffat made it so his character will be in the Doctor's timeline as a super speshul person no matter what, and he didn't even have to develop the fucking character. That really fucking pisses me off. I also don't like the idea of a Who OTP, I may like other pairings more than others but I think they're all pretty equal as pairings go, no one is more special, and now Doctor/River is pretty damn close to a show OTP.
Well, since DW canon is so a la carte, I suppose I can just forget it happened.
I wish I could look forward to Moffat taking over in 2010, but I just can't. He hasn't changed his formula for his episodes at all, and it's just coming off as lazy.
