Point of Order

[promethia_tenk]

Just to remind myself, because it bears reminding, and because I do manage to forget it: Moffat doesn't write good and evil.  Sure, he plays with the vocabulary sometimes (generally to deconstruct and undermine it), but that's never what it's about.  The real struggle, the real dynamic, the real juxtaposition on which everything hinges is CHAOS and ORDER.  Those are the forces we're dealing with.

Oh, something else! The Doctor arrives amidst the chaos and made sense of it, but at the same time he introduces an element of chaos into the order of the monsters. Like in Day of the Moon, just bopping in on the Silents and making a huge mess of things. The Doctor is practically Chaos incarnate, which makes him inherently unpredictable.
