Doctor Who ep 2

Er, hmmm. Well, this episode was better. I still much prefer Amy to the new Doctor, but fortunately he's calming down a bit and is not such a bundle of spinning, incoherent energy. Hopefully that trend will continue. The story in this episode was better, too, with more complexity, more depth, more emotion, and more of the kind of thing I'd been expecting from the new showrunner. The 'big message' was piled on with a trowel, which was the only significant miss for me. Subtlety doesn't appear to have been discovered yet this series. I'm encouraged, though.

I enjoyed this week's episode although it wasn't as original as I had hoped for. There were some very nice moments, though - and the faces in the booths were scary. I've never liked those laughing policemen things at funfairs.

Not as original, nor as epic in scale, I think. When Amy was so very horrified by the truth I expected it to be appalling. Maybe it's a reflection on the kind of stuff I usually watch that I was a bit underwhelmed.
