This episode is definitely a contrast to last week's fun-centric "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship".
Its unfortunate that episode does kind of come up and slap you in the face with the fact that this week is going to be a "message show". Amy, Rory, Isaac and The Doctor's argument's at the town border feel more like the writer trying to cover all the bases on the issue rather than come from their own unique perspectives.
I've seen many "Star Trek" episodes ruined by black and white situation were the characters are blatant in saying "This is the one and only solution", so I appreciate that they didn't take the easy way out with the resolution as there were multiple causalities.
Ultimately I think it was a decent episode, but was a bit bumpy in its execution.
Next Week: Rory's Dad becomes the new Wilfred Mott.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

fairly disappointed. I didn't think it was particularly well written.
I love the Doctor's skinny little legs.
You are so strange. I have never heard anyone ever say that about Matt Smith.

I liked the ending where the Cyborg found himself a purpose. Everyone needs a purpose.
I like Rory's Dad and how he always has something in his pockets to save the day.
