After 2 seasons and half something is happening in Moffat's vision of The Doctor. I was expecting a lot so I was disappointed beyond imagination, but finally Mark Gatiss gave me some hope.
Some time ago I wrote here that there tons of sci-fi books, movies etc. that it's nearly impossible to write down something completely new. Here there's some of the Old Doctor Who such as the Ice Warriors (which is certainly appealing also for the new generation of fans), some "The Hunt for Red October" and some "Alien". There are probably a hundred other well known stories cited here and I am certainly not mad with the writer for that: one thing is citing, which is what Gatiss does here, another completely different story is copying.
Some action, some logic (or a bit of common sense, call as you like it, I just know I missed it for a long time), some humor: finally a honest and dedicated attempt to write good sci-fi.
The episode itself deserved a 7.5/10, but when you can manage to have Warner and Cuunningham together you easily get more.
