I thought it was great.
The whole scene with Amy in the booth was creepy though, when she saw the video playback. And she didnt remember anything.
It had its moments, but Smith is still a fantastic Doctor. The scene when theyre on the tongue was brilliant.
A little star wars quoting going on aswel. We Like.
The smilers are another creepy addition to the universe by Moffat, although, i wouldve prefered them not to be half human. Just a mysterious powerful booth with a scary head. Like like the machine in 'Big.' The best part of that film is not knowing how/who/why it exists, it just does. To me, having those smilers get up out of the booth was a bit of a disapointment.
I loved the way that Matts Doctor can be so dark at the drop of a hat. That was a fabulous scene. Especially the rant and the fact he was so un happy and angry that Amy made a human error in judgment and i really felt for her as it was like home/school where you are right, you know you are right but the person above you doesnt believe you, and its so frustrating as you know full well you are right. Again, Moffat taps into the kid in everyone, and importantly, the kids watching. When he told her to shut up, and that he didnt want anyone human talking to him while he commits possible murder to the creature was great. We see The Doctor, we see that hes not this nice cheery guy with a blue box, but a a guy who has so much burden upon him that it mounts up and just explodes in a five minute anger burst against the race that he adopted all those years ago.
I also love the fact that this season, each episode seems to be fading into the next. With the phonecall from Churchill. I love that, rather than the episodic RTD eps these seem to be creating one continuous epic.
