doctor what?

This blog contains spoilers for day of the moon. You have been warned. 

I’m just going to say it. I did not like this 2 parter. It did some things right, but i felt underwhelmed after it was billed with such a big hype. 

Firstly, i never get along with anything that leaves too many things unanswered. It just feels to me like they couldn’t be bothered to think of an answer, so they left it blank. That’s probably not the case this time, but the ratio of questions to answers in these two episodes just left me a bit annoyed. Who kills the doctor? Is she pregnant? Why can’t the tardis decide? What’s the real reason she didn’t tell Rory? Who is the little girl? I guess she was important because she was a time lady, but then why was she there? 

Whereas what got answered? Only 2 questions, left over from last series, what is the silence, and how do they get rid of it. Both of those, quite underwhelming. I didn’t find the silence very interesting and the way the doctor hypnotises humans into killing all of them (if indeed none of them manage to escape) is borderline ridiculous. Would the doctor really turn us all into weapons like that? I don’t know seems a bit heartless. Clever though, I'll give it that. 

Anyway there you go. My boring thoughts. Let’s leave this all behind us now and hope that the curse of the black spot can be as good as the curse of the black pearl. So long as it’s not as tedious as at worlds end. 

[edit. ive just thought of some more questions its left out. why did the silence need the space suit? and why did that time engine end up on james cordon's flat in the lodger? ]
