The episode as a whole was very confusing, with far too many questions left unanswered. This is what happened in the last series as well, with Moffat waiting until the end of the series, and until the audience has forgotten the questions in the first place, to reveal their answers.

The only part that I did really enjoy was the phone call at the end, to be honest. There is so much more I could say about this episode, but really, I’m too tired. I may write a full review later. But for now, let me say this: Moffat, your work on Sherlock was fantastic. Brilliant series, you couldn’t have done a better job. Unfortunately, you seem to be trying to use the same ‘rules’ to write Doctor Who, and it just isn’t working. Doctor Who isn’t supposed to be over complicated, it’s supposed to make you think, yes, but you shouldn’t have to do too much work to get to the conclusion. You’re supposed to be able to look back at the end, and, without having to work it out, just SEE the deeper meaning. That is not what happened in the last few series, and is not what I fear is going to happen in this one.

Thanks for taking the time to read.
