Gotta agree, The Girl Who Waited has become, along with The Doctor's Wife, one of my favorite episodes of the entire series. All the Series 6 naysayers can go eat a shoe!
Granted that these episodes were absolutely stunning, I still believe that some of Series Six is pretty weak... "The Curse of the Black Spot," for example. Also, the mid-season finale could have been a stronger episode. Many characters were randomly introduced for the purpose of this episode much too quickly in my opinion. I would have wanted to see someone we really knew, not necessarily Mr. Harkness though.
My one criticism - WHO THE HELL WOULD PRESS THE RED BUTTON?!
That episode was so fantastic that I can overlook that as Amy being brash.
Oh, and Arthur Darvill was amazing, too, but he's been the one who has impressed me time and again these past two series, so that didn't particularly surprise me.
I do agree with you here immensely. Arthur Darvill's acting performances are outstanding and he's proved that a continuous male companion can indeed work still. His work in "The Pandorica Opens," "The Big Bang," and the Silurian episode rank among the best performances in Doctor Who.
In all, I do admit to liking Moffat's work a lot more than RTD's work. It seems that the social commentary is still present but not painfully obvious and the episodes aren't hit or miss as before. I do look forward to this next episode. We'll get to briefly see the Weeping Angels! :-D
