Doctor Who: Forest of the Dead

I've found it difficult to adequately put my thoughts together on the Moffat two parter. It contained lots of elements I enjoyed and many I admired but, at the end of the day it never all came together into a satisfying whole. I've delayed writing this review because of an obscure feeling that I should have enjoyed it more than I did. I even went so far as viewing it a second time in the absence of children, but if anything the second viewing revealed flaws not apparent on the first. I've also, contrary to my usual custom, read several reviews in order to try and piece together what I think about it.

Doctor Who: Midnight

Given NuWho's tendency to fumble the exposition it was interesting to see how much better it is when it simply doesn't bother trying to explain (although I could have lived without extonic light) but uses the SciFi and the scares as a driver for a different sort of drama altogether.
