Discontent and the Doctor

Okay, I wasn't right back.
And, in the interests of full disclosure, I didn't rewatch it. I tried. Truly. But I got about as far as when Wilson has his last gasp...oh, wait, not "Wilson"--Handles...and I just couldn't take it any more.

Yes, that would have been infinitely better as a farewell, and all it would have taken would be a bit of a tweek.

And, yes, I fear Peter will bear the blame when people start realizing how bad Moffat's stories are.

Did you notice that The Doctor was Handles' saviour?
Dare I type it?
Handles' Messiah.
Do I think that the character line was created for that pun?
Maybe.

Thank you so much for this review.

You are entirely welcome.

And I forgive you for pointing out the pun. That is how much I love you (head hurts from pun now; time for tea).

All of what you said (and I have to go back and rewatch that scene with the curator--I think I still have it on the DVR).

The planet is called Karn, they're the Sisterhood of Karn, first seen in this episode:

I was so happy to see them again, it brought back old memories of the episode.

I sadly have to agree that I do not like what Moffat does to his women, at all. I'm increasingly gritting my teeth through the difficult episodes, and Marc and I have long gripe sessions about them.
