I enjoyed it - but I've discovered that I pretty much always have that reaction to a Moffat episode and then half an hour later, I'm thinking "what?!" and realising that it just doesn't hang together. Moffat is like the Silence - when we're watching the episode it's all fine, but when we turn away, it doesn't make sense!
As I've said upthread, I really do have concerns that the casual viewers who make up the bulk of the audience will be switched off by the lack of any real conclusions in this episode. I'm not saying that Moffat's ambitions aren't to be lauded... just that perhaps the general viewing public isn't ready for them.
I haven't really had a chance to chat to the kids yet about what they thought, There was enough in it to keep them entertained - but I think that while most of the complexities passed Abigail by, Elinor is now old enough to be getting confused by them.
