Dinosaurs on a Spaceship
Don't know if I was just not in a Who mood, but this one pretty much disappointed me.
A cute idea whose execution did not live up to it's potential.
To me, everything just felt way too forced and too convenient and too sentimental.
Too much humor. Or attempts at humor. Poorly careening from slapstick to dark drama.
The 2 robots felt like the twins from Bayformers 2.
The same gene pool solution way too obvious and not even well done.
The Ponds getting short shifted again with guest stars.
Why couldn't Earth self destruct the missiles once the Ark was moving away?
Why did the raptors conveniently wait outside for the hunter guy to return instead of attacking?
Why didn't the scanner recognize the Doctor as a Time Lord? They have in past episodes.
It was not all bad. There were a couple nice, touching moments.
Loved Rory's dad sitting on the edge of the Tardis eating his lunch looking down on the Earth.
In the end, it felt like Moffat and the crew were too ambitious and tried to be a bit of everything and not quite succeeding at anything.:-(
Hopefully, next week will be better.
