Okay, D/R fans, let's have this out. *rolls up sleeves*
It's time to talk The Girl in the Fireplace. Does this episode fit into the overall arc of the series? How about the characterizations?
DA RULES:
- No slurring Moffat himself. Critiquing the writing in the episode, disliking the themes, pointing out any kind of perceived sexist subtext, or anything to do with the episode itself is okay. What's not okay is Moffat name calling, speculating on his personal sex life, or anything else of a personal nature. Let's make this about what's on the screen.
- No calling Mdme de Pompadour any rude names. You know the ones. (Fairly disingenuous to claim episode sexism while using sexist slurs, eh?)
- Be civil. There are many different opinions on this episode - some hate it while to others it's their favorite episode. It's possible that if you comment, you might wind up in a debate. As long as it stays a debate and doesn't descend into attacks, it could be interesting and fun!
