i think this must have been the first "normal" length episode for ages, i felt it came to an abrupt halt as well.
as much as i did enjoy tennant's doctor, it's good to finally put him in the past - his departure was so long and drawn out.

Yeah, there was a lot of unrealised stuff their. They didn't do much with the little girl, the little boy or the demon headmaster. Don't think it would have stretched to two episodes, but the was more there than fitted the time. It felt a bit like there was a penultimate act cut out. The starwars/alice in wonderland/neverwhere sort of setting was pretty cool though.
Nice that they did a link to the next episode at the end with Winston giving the doctor a call.
I did find myself childishly excited at the prospect of WWII Daleks |

I fucking hate the daleks - it's just plain stupid the way they keep coming back. How many times have they been completely wiped from time and space, only for them to find a loophole and make another appearance? Same with the cybermen.
Would be better to bring the rest of the time lords back in to it rather than the same old shit every year.

Enjoyed tonight's; more horror film references (particularly Zombie ones) in it than you could shake a stick at. Oh and a bit of A Nightmare on Elm Street about it as well.

Dream ones are always difficult - they always go a bit deus ex machina. Tonights was no exception but the zombie gimmers with flymos was a nice touch.

I thought it was a top episode. Infact the entire series has been pretty fucking brilliant so far, the Dalek episode possibly being the only weak link, and that wasn't that bad.
Agree with Sir Orange about dreams and deus ex machina. Although I thought the reveal of who the badguy was, was worth the pay off of random dream crystals, and at least the former did have a bit of forshadow.
"There's only one other person who hates me as much as you" (or whatever the line was), becomes quite poignant looking back at the episode.
The old deus ex machina is something that Who's always suffered from though, especially back in the days of randomly inserted cliff hangers to split up the old 3 - 6 parters. Even compared to the rest of new who, this season has generaly seen a movement towards Chekhov's gun going off all over amy's tits. Sorry lost the literary criticism train of thought there.
