I hadn't thought about it that way. I was kind of blown over by all the things I liked in the episode that I didn't stop to notice that none of them were quite fully formed. But you've certainly got a point. I do want to know so much more about Liz Ten, and why their society formed the way it did.
I'm really digging the relationship that's starting to grow between the Doctor and Amy though, I think it's got all the right nuances.
Gotta agree with most of this babe. (BTW, hi! :D) A good idea, but too many hanging ends and, frankly, a few too many recycled themes from previous Moffat Who stuff. I've always loved his writing but I'm seeing too much repetition in it lately. Sadly, stuff he's already done better elsewhere. I also didn't like the sledgehammer morality of the whole thing; the reduction of a complex issue about slavery down to a simple "forget or get eaten" choice.
But 11 is interesting me (although, yeah, still cooking) and Amy is utterly awesome. :D
I loved Liz 10 too. I was at a Torchwood con last weekend and for the party immediately after the episode I was dressed as Queen Victoria... so you betcha I was going around doing the whole "I'm the bloody queen mate. Basically, I rule" bit. *wink*

Yes, exactly. Also, how on earth is this democracy, when you are lied to? And at some point Liz would have had to sanction it, which makes me unhappy.
At the end the situation drove me insane. I think that part of it is that we're being asked to believe that the Doctor is thinking ever so much faster than a mere human possibly could, and has instantly considered all the possible options and these are the only two possibilities... but he hasn't, because Amy immediately picks up on another possibility. Which clearly means that he didn't give it much thought at all.

Agreed, I love Amy something fierce and I am glad at just how awesome she is turning out.
