The Pandorica Opens!

This is a red letter day! Today is the day that I can finally say, "I really enjoyed this episode of Doctor Who." And it only took, what, 12 episodes to get there? Sure, there were some big WTH is going on moments, but there were some really good ones (loved the spidery cyberman head) as well. I am looking forward to next week. I even didn't hate River Song quite as much, and am rather intrigued with some of the theories floating around as to her identity. (And if one particular theory comes true, then Steven Moffat is an absolute genius! Doesn't negate the rest of the crap we've been given though.)


Unfortunately, I still don't feel Matt Smith as the Doctor. I just don't think he has the acting chops to pull off some of the emotional scenes in this episode, or any of them really. He just hasn't become the character for me, the way other actors have in the role.



And now that I mention that, how great would David have been in this episode? I could so see him standing at Stonehenge, raging at all of the aliens. He would have been brilliant!
