I didn't have exactly the right decoration things I needed, there were these little, shiny silver ball things I would have liked but they were finished by the time I stopped making random stupid cupcakes and started making awesome ones. I am really proud of my creations though, they were *almost* too good to eat. XD

Thank you and I agree. Hence why I do hold Moffat to a higher standard than I did Davies] [EDIT: To be more specific about that particular episode, the characters in Doctor who are usually good even in otherwise bad episodes. Wilfred Mott was the best part of the episode. (Though sadly I must note that I am one of those people who doesn't like Donna, but do like her as she grows as a person. As such she is not a positive element in the episode for me. That is subjective, though.)[/quote] This train of though applies to most of the 6th series episodes that I thought were not up to standard (aka: overall blah). Even if the episode was flat story wise, the characters kept it from failing, which I appreciated. With the exception of Amy who somehow lost her character's usefulness this series. Considering I was shocked at how much I liked Amy when she was first introduced in the 5th series, I'm sad her character has become so flat and reliant on Rory. I keep hoping she'll be of some use. [spoiler] I do not count her usefulness in regards to being the mother of River Song or the wife of Rory. Any woman could have done that (i.e. Amy could be replaced with any other female character and the overall story would still go in the same direction since her character's personality is so flat currently). But rather, why is Amy unique over any other companion (or character), ya know? Rory is more of a defined character than she is and she's been on the show longer. XD; Giving Amy a reason to still be there is the hope I have for this next half of series 6. Next episode looks promising for this, though. I hope Moffat doesn't disappoint.

As such, I tend to sing Moffat's praises for bringing what he has brought to the show. (This isn't to discount the work Davies has done in reviving the series, though.) Honestly if Davies was still show runner, I would likely just watch episodes which had a general positive consensus, as I grew very, very tired of episodes like Partners in Crime.

I would buy this.GeneD wrote: Firstly, one day a long time from now at some award ceremony I will credit Steven Moffet as inspiration for genetically mutating myself into growing a pair of eyes at the back of my head. Then I'll probably cut a deal with the BBC to distribute my home-mutation kit with ever copy of the Doctor Who DVDs sold. Moffet likes things you can't/definitely shouldn't look away from.
