An alien travels through space and time with a human girl.

Aaaand all of the optimism I had from the first part of the season is gone entirely. It's still a pretty good show (it is Doctor Who, after all), but my excitement level for more is just about at zero. The reveal at the end of the finale does nothing, since Moffat is so damn predictable at this point that no one would believe for a second that he would actually do anything with the potential to cause real change in the show. Which would be fine, if the show behaved like Doctor Who should - if it were a series of adventures. Instead, he keeps trying to tease things, trying to imply that something really big is coming. And he never delivers. He barely ever manages to deliver comprehensible plot resolutions, much less Something Big. His idea of a major revelation is to have someone say, "this is a major revelation," then carry on as before. This show desperately needs a change - something majorly different, like a female Doctor, or an old Doctor, or an established actor, or a companion that isn't just another in the long line of Rose clones. But Moffat will never do it.
