The "cuckoo" thing had been done in Sandman, so I picked up on it fairly early. I don't know, I'm pretty forgiving of most of the stuff you mention, but then I'm used to TV SF being so bad that this still looks good. When even the characters say: "I know what this is. We're dead. Again." you get the feeling that there is some self-awareness going on. Stuff I don't like right now is mostly round the Rory/Amy/River/Doctor relationship. There is no depth of feeling anywere in that configuration, and nothing that seems real. If I can't empathise, I don't care. And, for most of this season, I haven't cared. Loved the quick-carpet though. Reminded me of my favourite ever PK Dick line: "I trusted that rug implicitly".
