New Who 6.2: Day of the Moon
So then! Lots of interesting stuff going on there, and many story-lines clearly still unresolved. These are the things which I'd still like to know more about:
( Spoilery list of questions )
All in all, it's pretty clear that we're not done here. And perhaps that's partly why this story felt a bit incomplete in its own right? I did enjoy it, but somehow I felt rather unmoved by the whole - as though I was watching a series of cool scenes and teasers, rather than a coherent story with an emotional truth at its centre. Slickly put together, yes - but perhaps too focused on big-budget scenery and trying to replicate the iconography of The X-Files and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and not well enough focused on the characters at its centre?
( What I felt was missing )
( What I liked - talk of empires, Romans and (yes) plenty of the individually-cool moments )
