When the Doctor scans for "any kind of life form" he's surprised to find a million million life forms. Considering that "any" kind of life would include microbes the surprising thing would be that there are so few. See more »Quotes

I think this series so far has been a bit of a let down. It feels as though nothing big has happened so far and I've been watching, waiting for the real excitement that the last few series have offered.
Tonight's episode though, I thought was absolutely fantastic! Steven Moffat manages to create such brilliant episodes ('Blink', 'The Girl in the Fireplace'...) which rivals some of the original Doctor Who story lines, in terms of depth and imagination.
Finally, we have mystery. Russel T. Davies' opening episode was of great disappointment - as were some of the following episodes. Moffat's script doesn't fail to intrigue. TV worth watching.
Moffat is definitely the best writer - Moffat to take over from Davies...
