I get that Moffat’s creating some epicness with his villains, but in a show that’s been around for 40+ years…

In the Doctor Who universe at large, I have a harder time buying that they’ve been around since stone tools and fire. And if two of these factors were introduced in this plot and aren’t directly related, then why so many plots, Moffat? Amy writes on her face Shes cannot forget that the Silence are thereĪnd let’s talk about the Silence for a moment. Isn’t a mysterious girl and a mysterious woman (River) and Amy’s Schrodinger’s pregnancy enough? Or should I say, little girl who’s possibly Amy and Rory’s child who’s possibly River Song. To me, the entire plot of this two-parter would’ve been more coherent and stronger if an editor would’ve written out the Doctor’s death plotline. However, there’s a different between mystery and big gaping plot holes that I don’t quite believe he’ll wrap up in a logical manner. Yes, Moffat needs to set up the mystery of the season. Staring at Moffat’s plots too closely reveal a lot of cracks - no pun off last season’s big bad problem intended. However, Viking funerals typically end with parts of a boat and body at the bottom of a lake in that water is a natural fire suppressant. River said that if they left a piece of the Doctor, then there’d be war to get it.

You’d think she’d refuse until they figured how to prevent the Doctor’s death.Īdditionally, I’m still bothered by the Viking funeral for the Doctor. Especially as River just waltzed back to prison at the end. In fact, despite the previously on, which reminded us all about the Doctor’s death, there was very little to no new information about how the Doctor died and the Companions seemingly forgot their mission to save the Doctor. That said, there weren’t a lot of answers. It was still 100x times better than the first one in this two-partner, and it seemed more like a true Doctor Who episode. I enjoyed “Day of the Moon” a lot more than “The Impossible Astronaut.” In fact, I watched the episode twice, though more because I watched it the first time without Jason.
