On one hand, SEE, THIS IS WHY I LOVE BOTTLE EPISODES. Give me a show (especially sci-fi) that was forced to do a Bottle Episode and I will point to that episode as one of the best in the show's run. "Grace Under Pressure" immediately springs to mind, along with "Boom Town" which was one of my favorites from Nine's arc. By taking away all the sci-fi trappings, you lay all the weight on the writers and the actors and if you have a good set of each, you get something so brilliant and awesome, it blows most of the big budget boomfests out of the water.
On the other hand... :deep breath:
Goddamnit, Moffat, stop that, you monster!
