First two episodes of series two of the new doctor? No, Stephen Moffat is clearly enjoying the possibilities of being at the helm of a show about time travel, and about what he calls 'fairy tales'.
Between his attempts to capture the doctor's manic genius, his jumping the time around to give a sense of what time travel does, and the abilities of the Silence (like a variation on the angels - very fairy tale) you had to be well and truly on your game to follow the second episode. He's going to have to bring it back a notch for the standard episode methinks, as much as I enjoyed that second episode.
Makes me feel better about last night's episode (which I wandered in on about half way through) if you're going, "hunh?" I was left wondering what made them say the line, "You should kill us on sight".
