so I went ahead and picked up series six, part two this week (they didn't have the first part. shrugs). very nice. Moffat pulls off "bait and switch" stories the way they were meant to be done. he mixes up mythos heavy episodes with more accessible "human interest" stuff. science fiction on a science fiction show! who would've thought it?

he's really captured the feel of the Doctor Who that I remembered but with a freshness and moderness to the approach. this is the kind of stuff I've been waiting to see since the relaunch.

he's also shown RTD for the one trick pony that he was. I look at eps like "The Lodger" and "Closing Time" as pretty much parodies of the RTD era. especially "Closing Time." it makes me hate RTD's run that much more when I see what we could have been getting from Moffat and what we were saddled with by RTD.
