Well, that was a bit of a mess, wasn't it? Very sloppy story-telling. Although I guess that can pretty much sum up this season, huh? I mean, there were bits that I liked, some quite a lot, but most of it was just...well, if someone had written fanfic like this I would have abandoned it after the first couple of chapters because so much in it was a rehash of previous work and so much of it was nonsensical to ridiculous. There was no clear plot, characterization was massively shifted once again, and for no very good reason that I could see, the Doctor gets married to River. I just don't get that. I don't buy that he's in love with her. I'm not even sure that he loves her though I think he's got affection for her. I like River, mostly season five River, but I think Moffat messed her up a lot with this goofy storyline. I just want Doctor Who to make sense again. I want some plots that start at the beginning, then go to the middle, and then follow through with an ending. And we just aren't getting them. I'd say maybe next year, but not with Moffat still in charge. That man needs a lesson in linear story-telling, stat. And also, Doctor Who as the question? Seriously? That play on words is older than the Doctor practically.

I did like the hot air balloon cars, but that does not a shining episode make.
