the thing where you Need A Fucking Plot seemed to have been forgotten. I just can't believe they sheer level of contrivance. I can't believe how much pointless cack was just thrown in over the two-parter for the sake of trying to make shallow shallowness look like the Mariana Trench
This, in a nutshell, is why I am SO relieved to see the back of RTD. Moffat's stories may not hold up under deep scrutiny (seriously, how did the Angels evolve?) but you at least don't *notice* during the episode because there's an internal logic that lets you go with the flow as opposed to blatant, random attempts to elicit emotion.
