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.

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 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.
