Aliens infiltrate Earth by stealing the bodies of powerful people and plan to get more control in the hysteria caused by crashing their spaceship into a major city. They're even referred to as having zips in their heads.
I'm not bothered, mind you, because if you're borrowing from another story's plot, it might as well be from an 11 year old story that not a lot of people like (except me...).
If you must blink, do it now.
I said to my sister while we were watching that these aliens were exactly like Slitheen, without the farting. I'm glad someone else noticed it. For the record, I like the Slitheen too. I don't mind these aliens either, although I'm a bit annoyed that they still don't have a name (unless I just missed it).
shareNot going to lie. Thought the same thing. And it wasn't nearly as charming.

I said I'd feed you...I didn't say who to.
Basically it was copying it I suppose. Except Aliens of London/World War 3 was far better. The farting was juvenile, but there were many good parts to Aliens of London/World War 3.
Doctor Mysterio by contrast was a mess. Can Moffat just leave already?
Really? I don't remember the superhero in aliens of London or it being in New York or the doctor crashing a spaceship into New York and I don't remember anyone getting their brains replaced out of their head and put in jars
sharepretty much. moffat ran out of juice completely.
shareThis just shows that Moffat has become lazy and complacent. It is definitely time for him to leave.
I have always thought he should have just stuck to writing only instead of becoming the showrunner as well. He is also the showrunner for Sherlock right? Makes you wonder if he takes on too much, and the quality suffers due to time management.

Well the end result sure was better than that awful two-parter by RTD.
