Doctor Who: S2; Eps 1-2 Thoughts

Doctor Who came back with its sixth series (since the reboot with Nine)last week. I watched the first two episodes - a two-parter that took place in America in 1969 - tonight. It was written by Moffat, which isn't really a good thing in my opinion. My problem with Moffat's writing is that he tends to ignore true character development and just go for the "scary" (which isn't always scary) and the shocking twists and turns (which aren't always shocking). He can come up with some great aliens and some very interesting ideas, but Moffat has trouble following through. I find his stories to be terrible anti-climactic.


( and um, ok )

Like S5, I think this series will be a mixed bag for me. I didn't start to like S5 (and I only liked it) until mid-way through. I think it will be that way again.
