The thing with this episode is that it was very cut down, Moff has said so a few times. For timing more than anything else, which left it in parts slightly patchy. Also, unlike what you said about it taking its foot off the peddle politics wise, I disagree. The point was obvious, but I think Moff didnt realise that we got it and so used up a lot of time overstating it and pushing it at us. Some parts were more subtle than others, but then there are parts, like with Amy explaining the Space Whale, he had her say the same thing twice over in the same breath, like we couldnt grasp it with just the one mention. I do like the episode but I think even in its condensed form it tried too hard to put its message across, to the detriment of the overall story.
