I mean, this was basically my feeling for huge swathes of Ten's run. I didn't have the fullness of Doctor Who background to express it in the same way, but it was 'this show and this character are absolutely not being what this show and this character constantly declare themselves to be.' Eventually I felt like the show came around to admitting that this had been going on and going on intentionally, but I was incredibly uncomfortable with how long Rusty strung things along asking us to love and believe in the Doctor anyway.
Something went wrong with this episode, and I have a feeling no matter what happens with the rest of the season a lot of people are still going to loathe this one with a fiery passion and I'm gonna feel like it was one of the more interesting ones of the season. But I've gotta say that this is the first episode that's made me feel like perhaps this season and this Doctor are actually going somewhere?
