See, this is why I don't need to do reactions. You've got it covered! That is basically everything I would have said! No, not basically. It IS everything I would have said

Ah, I have been thinking about this off and on all day, and I think (perhaps) the writers know how clever the fans are. We had a lot of false trails this season... the Flesh Doctor, the Doctor in a Tux during Let's Kill Hitler, coats vs suit jackets... they definitely kept us guessing the entire time. So... the reveal of the Robot!Doctor instead was 'cool' because I sure as hell did not expect it BUT was it good enough? I think the writers (and I'm not saying Moffat for a reason) is building something for season seven, letting six end on a half note, so that season 7 is more... interesting?
Or, I'm just overthinking it. Its a fine balance between a running plot and stand alone episode enjoyability. Season 5 did it great. Season 6 less so I think. BUT season 6 had a lot more - No way! moments.
Either way, with RTD season finales still fresh in my mind, I'm much happier with the season 6 finale in comparison, BECAUSE I am looking forward to season 7 now, and there was no melodrama. Just more poor Rory teasing.
Oh yeah. Far better than the usual RTD finale. I'm not really upset or disappointed or anything by this finale, just more....puzzled. If I drew a doodle, I'd have a thought bubble with "???" in it.
And my puzzlement isn't so much "what the hell just happened" as it is, "how am I supposed to feel about this? What actually should I be taking from this?"

Joy, because the Doctor lived (we knew he would)
Interest, because it is so confusing (probably)
Eh, I'm just going to go back and rewatch some of season 5 and 6. Maybe write a fic or two now that I can. :)
