Doctor Who: Series 6: Let's Kill Hitler

WARNING: MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!

And we're back! With a bang, and a crash... and the greatest war criminal in the universe. And Hitler. And, it would seem, the Numskulls.

In fact, there's so much going on in this first episode of Doctor Who after the summer that you'd be forgiven for getting a little confused. Not in quite the same way as the opening two-parter's sheer melting pot of mystery, but more that Steven Moffat is now juggling more plot strands than he knows what to do with. Fun, though.

Let's begin at the beginning. I understand that some people didn't see the whole Mels-is-actually-Melody-Pond thing coming, or indeed the regeneration-into-River-Song thing, but for me it was more signposted than a... like, a really big... well, it was pretty signposted. She was called Mels, for goodness' sake!

I have no problem with Moffat pulling twist after twist from out of his many humorous hats, but you can't create a plot point out of a character we've only just had hastily introduced to us.
