Quote: sootyj @ June 5 2011, 8:27 PM BSTI think the tension was very clever.
Tension in most action/scifi comes from asking certain questions.
The classic is "will the Dr prevail?" "will a well loved character die?"
And we know the answer will always be yes and no.
So Moffatt changed the question to, "how will the dr prevail?" and "how will he fail?"
Now waiting for those far more unpredictable answers was to me quite exciting. So when someone says "Dr you've never risen so far."
Boom! it actually genuinely thrilled me. The more succesful he became, the more the tension amped up because something was going to go wrong but what.
Yes it got alot wrong, the enemies were rubbish, Rory's stupid outfit and way too much talking in the last 5minutes.
But this is bold and innovative stuff.
Talk us through then in this episode how far the Doctor rose and then how far he fell? I mean specifically?

Why?
