Whereas I usually can't even bear to sit through it a second time. Trust me, no one wants me watching an episode twice before I vote.

And sure RTD can have his flying bus end for Christina if he wants but at least have it before the four knocks so we have a good tense ending.
I love how people consider my opinion of an episode when they watch it. It reminds me how special I am.

Flying bus? Flying bus. Yeah. Flying bus.

Enemies weren't bad but weren't anything special, and the explanation for how and why they formed the wormhole was lacking. (Everything else about them was explained well enough — just the formation of the wormhole specifically didn't make sense.) Characters were typical RTD, but at least they didn't have the level of screen time they had in "Midnight," which made them significantly more tolerable.

The titles were the same with the exception of the TARDIS, which has been replaced with the newer 3D model they've been using for the past few years. Comparison shot (old then new):

We'll see. Oh, wait, this is RTD. You're definitely right then. RTD is always just as obvious as his clues make him out to be.
