The reason the episode fell down, I think - and it did fall down - was that it completely half arsed the genre conventions. If you watch something like Ocean's Eleven the structure is:

1. Describe the security of the bank, get some people whose special abilities will help you. This is the majority of the film.
2. Do the break in which goes mostly smoothly (minus some small drama on individual jobs) with a twist at the end.

To me it felt like they were trying to make it more like Hustle, but they still sort of bungled it for reasons I can't quite think of. Besides it really lacking that "Wow, what a twist!" factor.

This episode is so weird but I like it way more than I should.

Then of course there's The End of Time, which is one utterly dreadful episode followed by an episode that is much better if only because it isn't part one, and because of the amazing Matt Smith debut.

Yes but in Part 1 you get 40 minutes of sheer incoherence followed by 5 minutes of pure loving hilarity.

It's actually so bad it's good.

I'm really digging this episode so far, very atmospheric and a lot of lovely dialogue.

Well this is interesting in the hindsight of 20 seconds ago.

My comment still stands, though obviously it is a very different atmosphere now! :)

I'm just hoping it ends well since I like this way too much right now.

This episode is making me crack up and I have no idea why.

The loving hug jumpcut just now made me lose my poo poo.

Speaking finales, I honestly do not remember a thing that happened in The Wedding of River Song. In my memory, it's just a string of unrelated scenes and zero context that ends on a pyramid? There's eyepatches or something too.

That was a bad episode.

Wasn't there a blue head in a box screaming "DOCTOR WHO?!?!" repeatedly right near the end?

This is really growing on me now after the entire "It was all a test dream" first five minutes.
