The Girl Who Waited blew me away. And it's an episode I could never imagine Davies making.

Don't forget Love & Monsters.

I enjoy how it foreshadows Moffat's plots as showrunner to a frightening extent. Which is why I think the next Doctor will be a woman.

YES I love ranking things
1. Blink
2. The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang
3. Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone
4. The Empty Child/ The Doctor Dances
5. Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead
6. A Christmas Carol
7. The Eleventh Hour
8. Girl in the Fireplace
9. Impossible Astronaut/ Day of the Moon
10. A Good Man Goes to War/Let's…

In the same way that Love & Monsters was a meta-critique of Doctor Who fans, Midnight was a critique of Ten himself. Davies wrote it over a few days as a last last minute replacement, and I think a lot of subconscious stuff seeped in, given the way it totally dismantled the way Davies approached writing the Doctor.

The show might revolve around Amy, but she's a pretty passive character. "The Girl Who Waited"  indeed.

I know right? A Good Man Goes to War is also the least "Moffat" of any of his episodes. Mainly because the whole thing was Moffat playing at Star Wars.

I pretend that last scene doesn't exist. It makes no sense whatsoever.

I enjoyed the 6th series, but hated the way it took away River's agency and made her an adjunct to the Doctor. Moffat thinks up these crazy, intricate plots but doesn't really stop and think, "hmmm, I wonder what all of this is doing to my characters".

I like Tennant but Ten was a self-righteous asshole.

I liked Davies' characterization more than Moffat's, but good lord was he incapable of writing an action scene*. All his episodes ended with The Doctor pulling a lever to destroy all the Cybermen, or pushing a big red button to kill all the Daleks. The first time I watched The Time of Angels I almost cried at how well…

The Blind Banker was a mess.

This is amazing.

Stop it.

That's the joke.

It would have been an okay followup in 2010 but after waiting for 4 years I expected a lot more.

He doesn't like a movie! Let's get him!

I groaned audibly. He beats even January Jones in the wooden acting department.

Why does everyone expect something horrible and melodramatic to happen to Sally? She's going to do drugs! She'll become anorexic! She's gonna get raped!
It will be a big Statement about Society! And it'll all happen at Woodstock, or something.

Now they're going to accuse her of being a Mary Sue.
