I don't give a rats ass how good the creative teams are that they have line-up up for this, is still something that shouldn't be done, full stop. I agree 100% with Moore, and wish he had some way to stop this, but he can't. First the movie, and now this. Fuck DC, and fuck TimeWarner.

With a woman-turned-TARDIS, companions running through actual TARDIS corridors and Neil Gaiman on board, it would be very hard to go wrong. There is no doubt that “The Doctor’s Wife” will go down as one of the most iconic episodes within both Series Six and the decades-spanning television series Doctor Who as a whole.

She and her baby had been held against their will by the Clerics, an organization led by Madame Kovarian intent on using Melody as a weapon. You see, because Melody was conceived on the TARDIS and exposed to time-travel whilst in the womb, she’s part-Time Lord and part-human. No, this doesn’t make any sense to me either; I thought Doctor-Donna proved that combinations of Time Lords and humans cannot happen as per “Journey’s End” (4.13). But let’s just move on, shall we?

She and her baby have been held against their will by the Clerics (originally from “The Time of Angels” (5.4)). Ten thousand light-years away, The Doctor and the Last Centurion are assembling an army to recover her. This army includes the Silurians — how they were convinced is beyond me — Sontaran Commander Strax, Madame Vastra and her human companion Jenny, Captain Avery and his son Toby, and the black market trader Dorium Maldovar. After destroying a great many Cybermen, The Doctor and his army arrive on an asteroid called Demon’s Run, the headquarters of the Clerics. It’s here that “A Good Man Goes To War” becomes bombastic and messy, nowhere near the clean writing to which we’ve become accustomed.

After watching the trailer for this two-parter, the episodes immediately felt like the dismal Silurian two-parter in Series Five – “The Hungry Earth” (5.8) and ”Cold Blood” (5.9). Both two-installment stories deal with representations of humanity and a war between humans and their human-like counterparts (now enemies). In “The Hungry Earth”, these enemies were the Silurians, a race of “aliens” that have lived on Earth as long — if not longer than humanity.
