Punching Nazis In The Face!

I rather enjoyed this evening's episode of Dr Who.

"Let's Kill Hitler" was a great title for the episode. Lots of interesting ideas thrown in there, a plot that feels like it's leading more in the direction of answers, and some holes filled in for us.

Not perfect, but an awful lot of fun, some nice moments of humour, and Rory got to do something awesome that would be a spoiler if I told you.

More like this please.

(It's possible that I'm enjoying the second part of the season more now I'm not expecting there to be actual individual episode stories.)

I totally got the impression from that episode that that is the [spoiler removed], and we move on to something completely different, no reference of any of it ever again, we never see [spoiler removed] again, and lots of other little niggly things are left unresolved.

But again with this episode, like the last couple, I sat through most of it really, really not understanding what was going on. but that might just be my age showing..

Still an hour to go here in the States, and I'm almost expecting to be disappointed. Not because it'll be bad or anything, but-- the juxtaposition between the heavy drama at the end of 'A Good Man Goes to War' and the sudden cut to the flippant whimsy of 'The Doctor will return in "Let's Kill Hitler!"' was the Best Thing Ever, and there's just no way the episode itself can compete with that.

Also, I have Ideas about How Things Should Go.

Thought it was terrible. Details locally.

There were some neat ideas, but no suspense or any real interest in the story. It would be nice if the plots could be about solving some problems rather than about their relationships.
