Another Hit!

I'm so excited to say that we have ANOTHER WINNER!!! We are two for two!!! I am concerned... because I just learned that this was originally a Steven Moffat episode meant for Amy and Matt Smith. So this means my two favorite episodes of the season so far are basically Moffat episodes. I've always been an RTD fan through and through. To the core. Just slightly more than Moffat. But ... the leading best episodes have not been from RTD... I'm really hoping he didn't lose his flair. I guess we will have the next few episodes to truly see!! I really enjoyed how thought provoking this was. This was a subtle not so subtle jab at the direction we are headed in. If we are not already there... great acting by all!
