So "everyone does it" makes it okay? :p To me that makes it worse, the fewer people being unoriginal the better. And I'm not saying RTD and his people didn't do it, but the thing is, it's been 6 seasons now. Good concepts - and scary kids/dolls ARE some good classic concepts - can be re-used, but doing it over and over for 6 season with little variation just doesn't fly.
That said, these things are *absolutely* Moffat things - this was so alike The Girl in the Fireplace and the library-episodes and all his other eps! It's always creepy semi-people, usually turning real people into semi-people but in a way where they can just push the reset button at the end of the episode (which, fine, it's a kids show, but switch it up a bit!), or on rare occasions just having it happen to non-important people who can stay gone. Lather, rinse, repeat.
God yes, HEARTS. <3 Atleast I won't have to throw things at my TV if the show gets cancelled now because that could work as a series finale. Of course I'm hoping for a s3, but thank gawd we got that ending atleast.

Moffat is a timey-vimey guy.
