Two things, neither of them spoilers.

1. meep!

2. meep!


I didn't like the spacemen AT ALL; of all the things Moffat has found to scare us with, I've appreciated the tension in the kid in the gas mask and the clockwork Frenchmen and the creeptastic weeping angels and the sapient shadows, but he's finally properly got to me with the scary scary spacemen that you forget about as soon as you look away, holy CRAP, I don't know why that gave me such wiggins, but it really did. I was wrapped pretty snugly around this throw pillow, and the boys were making fun of me (A: "FYI, I'm mocking you." Me (meep): "iknow!"), and I had to consciously unclench my fingers when the episode was over. N counseled that I should not let them keep me from getting to sleep tonight, because if they were real, I wouldn't remember them. ... The logic is sound, but the spacemen are still FUCKING SCARY. Fuck you, Steven Moffat, you brilliant bastard.

Also, "Mrs Robinson" (and River's reaction to it, by which I mainly mean Ms Alex Kingston's comic timing) was AWESOME. :-D
