Doctor Who Review "Forest of the Dead"

I would like to thank Steven Moffat. While Doctor Who has grown more and more epic over the past few series, with Daleks, and Cybermen, and Dalek Cybermen, and Time Wars and the like, he is one of the only ones keeping the old ways alive. My favourite stories from the "old" series were the ones that included things such as:

-the retardedness of time not being in a straight line

-the disorientation of spacial awareness

-monsters who you couldn't see and also who could speak for themselves

-stuff without explosions and guns

Steven Moffat is Doctor Who's genius. He has delivered the cream in the pie thus far, and people like Russell T Davies could learn a lot from him. Yes, I enjoyed Forest of the Dead. It wrapped up loose ends, it destroyed everyone's concept of reality for a final time, it made you question life around you. And it didn't need a single spaceship, or a sun. Way to go, Steven Moffat.
