From the original post of recallthename:

Moffat insists on having a series and a Doctor that forgets the past?  You write an episode about the power and importance of remembering.  Get your little jabs in.  I fucking adore you.

Fuck off. First off, not revelling in the past like a scorned teenager does not make him “forget,” it’s about moving on. And considering the constant use of the reset button during RTD showrunnery, talk about throwing glasshouses in caves. “We have lots of stuff and then we make it go magically awaaaaay! That’s fantastic, wohoo!”

Oh man, how freaky and creepy was that? I love how Moff doesn’t go too kid-friendly. I just completely love how he put his own spin to the Doctor-saves-the-world-again plot. It wasn’t like, say, season 3’s finale, when the Doctor becomes Tinkerbell Jesus. The storytelling was completely brilliant and, man, how they brought Amy Pond into the story? awesome.

Oh, yes! The pace and the exposition was really good, so looking forward to next week. Happy fun nightmare-adventure, not quite as much emo as the last few specials. And the new TARDIS! With gauges and typewriter and levers! I want episodes that only takes place in the TARDIS. It is a wonderful set.

And Amy was a fun companion and not the meek follower. More like Donna. Great choice in direction and writing.

Yes. This is my poison. Moffat did a great job, perhaps Matt Smith is a bit too close to Tennant’s Doctor in his mania-swings but I think that will change soon.

There is something lurking in him, some kind of craziness that ties into the weird fairytale mode that this new version has. Moffat! I love this.

I don’t care if you don’t care or think it is far too into the realm of geeky. I got my Dr Who scarf, what do you got?
