Feeling a lot better now
The other day I was upset and angry, but although I'm still rather unimpressed by the whole "killing characters for shock value" ethic, and I consider it shoddy writing, I am, in general, feeling a whole lot better about the whole thing, and I'm feeling excited about S6 again (although somewhat more cautiously excited than I was before).
Ultimately, if Moffat is being honest about what's going to happen, then I do commend him for that, rather than giving a false impression of what to expect, as was done with Children of Earth. Having a few weeks to prepare oneself really does help.
Anyhow... just thought I'd say that.
