It's Moffat, after all.... He can't leave a family permanently broken, right? I'd be a bit epically shocked.
The episode is copping some flak for not really addressing Melody's kidnapping properly, and I hate to agree with the angry people... There are a whole lot of things about this episode where I could readily agree with the angry people, and I've managed to get my zen and Moff trust back and have even started loving this ep a bit, but a part of me could write huge criticisms about so many things going on here. It's the weirdest divided feeling, much like watching the episode with half of my brain going "wheee, isn't this just FUN?!??!" and the other half going "I. Hate. EVERYTHING." This is the first Moff thing I've ever watched where I suddenly really *understood* why some people hate his work, because all the usual criticisms you hear about him, I felt about this episode (at first).
