an icepick through the keyhole

Which, I suppose, is why it felt manipulative. I knew the easy route was to go for the "kill her off" switch but at the same time, the camera loved Georgia Moffett so much that I sort of thought she was going to get resurrected. So on one level I get pissed off at the lazy resolution and on another the latter realisation robs the Doctor's outrage of any real power.

There are better ways to do this, and certainly more gutsier ways. Which feeds back into how Doctor Who is getting way too cozy again.
