I've left this review to think about overnight, but in retrospect, it doesn't get better; it gets worse. After looking so much forward to the Moffat era being much more hopeful and upbeat than the RTD era, I was severely disappointed to find an episode so cynical and brutal that it made Gridlock look like a Shakespearean comedy... and I think that Smith's performance suffered badly in comparison to Tennant's to boot.
( Extended bitching under the cut )
I really hope next week makes up for this.
