Oh Memories, Where'd You Go?

Last week's episode of Doctor Who was one the episodes that made you go "aawww Doctor." I had a feeling it would be one of those times when he mentioned his grand-daughter. Whenever the Doctor drops a line about is dearly departed family, you know the rest of the episode is going to tug on your heart strings.

This also marked the first time Clara took an adventure in the TARDIS to a whole new world...where everyone's soul was going to be eaten to appease a giant god. Well, not *everyone's* soul at first, only after they made it angry. But Clara did learn the two rules of being with the Doctor, we don't stand by and watch things go wrong, and when we find something precious we try to save it at all costs.

Honestly. I don't think Doctor Who is going to get back to the glory it was when I started watching it until its head writer Stephen Moffat is gone. For one thing, sexism. And I am a feminist. For another, if this is yet another season where the way to solve the problem is to just reset the universe my head will explode. It was creative and astonishing the first time, but now it's just boring. Go away Moffat, your time has come.

This will not affect my watching the show, by the way.
