AWKWARD ZOMBIE

The scrapyard in Totter's lane, I. Chesterton as head teacher of the school, the science assistant with asthma having the scarf, heh.
Were there more things like that I didn't notice?

So apparently spoiler tags don't hide links. Huh.

Also, it seems that some aliens from Day of the Moon will reappear in the Christmas special. Odd, I don't remember any aliens in Day of the Moon...

That's not right...Ood. It's spelled Ood.

Putting aside stupid jokes about the Silence I am sad that the second worst moffat monsters are coming back to be beaten to death some more on the heels of this actually good episode.

I don't recall seeing those clown things from The Beast Below in the trailer. Or did you mean Prisoner Zero? Clockwork Robots, perhaps? Because I don't recall seeing them there either.

I meant the Silence. I'm less dissatisfied with them as monsters and more with their usage.
LET'S SET UP THESE THINGS FOR THE WHOLE SEASON whoops lets take care of that
LET'S BRING BACK THESE MONSTERS FOR THE FINALE whoops lets remove their ONE ABILITY they have

It's been a while since I last saw The Wedding of River Song, but didn't they have eyepatches or something that made it so that they couldn't forget the Silents?

Oh, and for the record, the Silence is the name of the organization; the monsters themselves are called Silents.

So as if I needed to ask, what do you think are the worst monsters? The clown things I mentioned?

Yeah that's what I mean. Their ONE POWER was completely nullified in that episode which made their presence there have....what significance, exactly?

Weeping Angels.

I'm limiting this to the Moffat era, though. RTD had plenty of shitty monsters. Like that one spider woman in The Runaway Bride that did nothing but eat scenery the whole time. Or the Slaveen (who were redeemed in the second episode by not being a big fart joke)

If they were kept consistent, Weeping Angels would be great monsters.
But then they made the Statue of Liberty one and it only went downhill.
The only part that's cool about them still is that they don't move while they're in the shot even if the characters are not looking at them, because you are looking at them.

But...but...they can still shoot lightning and stuff...

Honestly, I still don't mind the Weeping Angels. I just wish their abilities were more consistent. Yes, their last episode was unbelievably awful, but I don't think it really harmed their reputation (except for the whole statue of liberty thing); it just severely tarnished Moffat's reputation as a remotely competent writer. I still like the Weeping Angels. I just want them in the hands of a writer who knows what he's doing.

I really don't think that World War Three alone redeems the Slitheen. They were still total jokes; the only improvement was that they weren't fart jokes. And no, Boom Town didn't do them any favors either. The only good thing about that episode was the Doctor's amusing date with Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen. Hope I spelled that right...

Oh right I keep forgetting that the first Slitheen thing is a two parter. So the one where it's just the Welsh woman. They actually make her a competent threat for a while.

She was never a competent threat, but at least she was entertaining.

Someone is petitioning for a newly discovered planet to be named Gallifrey.
Because why the fuck not.

Okay so do I stop watching the show altogether until a writer who isn't a piece of human shaped waste takes over, or should I slog through more poorly written plot devices and inconsistent characters with massive plot holes every other line
