Doctor Who 7x07 - "The Bells of St. John"

[fajrdrako]

At last, at last, a new episode of Doctor Who: The Bells of St. John nu Steven Moffat.

Which I enjoyed. I still find Clara Oswin Oswald intriguing. (If they're opting for old Northumbrian kings, I'm still looking for Clara Ooswin Oswald Oswy.)

But... It was another rather incoherent Steven Moffat plot. He seems to go for chaos rather than emotion; confusion rather than clarity; obfuscation.

I was watching with a crowd of things, and it was gamergrrl who articulated my difficulties with the eleventh Doctor. She said, "It doesn't seem to be so much the Doctor as a parody of the Doctor."

Of course, I expected Clara Oswald to die again. She keeled over a few times, but that wasn't death, that was temporary mind transfer. Or something.

I miss Nine dreadfully, but I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next week...
