Although the episode tends to be kind ADHD, if you’re looking for mindfuckery, you will not be let down in the slightest. There was so much craziness going on that I literally cannot wait to catch it again. …I hope I’m being vague enough not to be obnoxious and spoilery, but I’ve only been able to discuss this stuff with two other people and I’m bursting with stuff to say.
You are completely right about Moffat's tics, and I love him for them (and hate him a little too, but it’s mostly love). As it so happens, I sometimes get really irrational fears of darkness or turning my back to things after I watch things like the premiere and 'I am Legend' (not that the zombies were frightening, but the fact that they were always waiting in the dark, oh god), so I was really glad my roommate was out last Tuesday night and she didn't have to see me being a baby and staring neurotically at the closet.
Oh, River... Though I liked her in SitL/FotD, I wasn't a fan of her in the angels episodes in season 5. But I do think she totally redeemed herself in the finale and, this time round, Moffat really was determined to break everyone’s heart, especially since we’ve all seen Silence in the Library.
To be honest, I didn't find Father's Day that scary, mostly because I was busy being angry at Rose (I really don't like her, meh.) But Human Nature/Family of the Blood ...the scarecrows and creepy sniffing aliens (especially the little girl who ends up in the mirror) were pretty unsettling. And my heart just breaks for Martha in that episode. :(
Ohhh, you should see the special as soon as possible! It doesn't really tie into the premiere or anything, but it is by far the best of the Christmas Specials. You might be interested in checking out the song before Saturday though, the lyrics are really bizarre and might possible have to do with the silence; it's not really clear at all.(And the song itself is so beautiful and Katherine Jenkin's voice is perfect) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Mq5jmoXIzw
Wahhh the sarcophagus shadows were the worst them all so far, because to me, they really don’t look like The Silence and I have no idea what they could possibly be besides REALLY UNWANTED. I mean, because the Silence don’t need to stay out of sight or wear cloaks because you don’t remember seeing them as soon as you look away. They don’t need to hide. Vashta Nerada it is then. *whimpers*
Ah, this is sort of spoilery, so you may want to ignore it for a few days, but have you seen the promo pictures of the Silence? They released them a few days ago. If you have, then you can see that the silhouette of the shadow figures in Big Bang 2 is a little off; the Silence have big, yucky heads like Ood with the spaghetti bits removed. Pretty much though, I'm really trying to keep an open mind about them because there is a lot that I don't understand/need to see again.
