It wasn't (at least it isn't supposed to be). They strike me as being fairly different.
 
Didn't someone ask RTD about the current status of the Cardiff Rift and he answered "closed with all the other time cracks."?
 
Yup. It makes a decent explanation for why Cardiff isn't being overrun with blowfish and weevils while Gwen and Jack are gallivanting around the USA.
 
Did any else think for a moment the Dr would actually try fish fingers and custard to make him feel better?
 
I was hoping that he would and that it would cure him. But that could have been considered imitatable behaviour. "If I eat fish custard after drinking that bottle under the sink with the pirate symbol on it, I'll be okay."
 
They didn't shy away from that before when 10 ate random stuff around the kitchen to counter arsenic poisoning.
 
Rory is still bringing the awesome.

<smacks Hitler in the chops, holds a gun on him> "Shut up, and keep still."
 
well, altogether that was disappointing. there was some great stuff in there, but it just felt like a complete mess. shades of curse of fatal death and that eddie murphy movie from a couple years back really didn't lend it the gravitas that moffat was obviously going for. retconning in "mels" has to be the biggest deus ex machina ever. and of course basically completely ignoring the setting of 1938 berlin. it felt like it was trying to be too many things at once. eugh...

and this is coming from someone who has always found the claims that moffat is ruining the show completely ridiculous, and who has really enjoyed the last two seasons! oh well...
 
We need to find our daughter. No, wait, we don't, she's a token black now, and she also happens to be our childhood pal. And look, she regenerated into a middle-aged woman and the shape-shifting robotic Mossad assassin is after her. Groovy... not. Isn't there something more interesting to play with? Like, I dunno, goatdamned Hitler in the cupboard? :cardie:

After watching 5x09: apparently, cupboards are this season's "crack in the wall". :p

Mid-season breaks should be outlawed. 5x08 would be okay as a regular episode, but as a de facto "season opener" it blows.

Oh yes, because the plot you've just described is so mundane and stale. I'm sure it's recycled from an old episode of Hawaii 5-O. It's like every show these days needs to have characters who have completely different relationships depending on when their personal timelines cross!

And come on. "Token black"? Seems to me that she was just black.
