New Who Review: Day of the Moon

But first a side note. I was working at Del Rey in the Bertlesman Building in Time Square when the Twin Towers were hit. A lot had changed since then. The news about the death of Bin Laden is significant for many reasons. Some of them, for me, are deeply personal. I am still processing what happened but I think I heard the collective letting out of breath by many here in the US. This won’t solve the problems of the world but it might give us and those effected by the events on that day some sense of peace that we haven’t felt in a very long time

I am grateful to everyone who worked so hard on this problem.

Now onto the Review. As always there will be spoilers behind the cut and in the comment section. And I reiterate that the current discussion is only for everything up to and including this episode.

I will say that the episode moved very fast and it did end with more questions than answers. The solution to the problem was rather elegant. And it reminded us that the Doctor tends to play the long game over the short win. The Doctor playing with history or being put into historical events can be a fun story which this was.

I am not dissatisfied with the conclusion because I know that Moffat is playing the long game. But there were a couple of things that I just said “Real?” in my best Heinz Doofenshmirtz impression.

Overall I was pretty happy with these two episodes and am looking forward to next weeks, which looks like Dr. Who vs. the Pirates of the Caribbean.
