That's why I started the old series. It should take me much longer than a summer to finish them.
In regards to "The Wedding of River Song"
I thought almost immediately that the Doctor used the Tesselecta. Though, the problem is that it completely ruined the rest of the story for me because I knew he wouldn't die. And the 'Doctor Who?' question was kind of obvious, though slightly unexpected. I wonder when the Doctor will tell River his name?

Actually,
I think River saw the Doctor's name engraved into his old cradle. (River can read Gallifreyan, I believe.)

Sometimes I get so sucked into a story that I forget about guessing what is to come, but I had been anticipating this for so long that I kind of knew everything before it happened (though some stuff still threw me).

Ugh, sometimes Doctor Who is too creepy for my own good. It may seem childish, but I do get scared. And freaked. Like with "The Time of Angels". Now, that's a creepy episode. Especially the part about an image of the angel can become an angel. And the way it kept moving closer, and closer. *shivers* It sends shivers up my spine. I literally had to pause it, and calm myself down.

yes she can because she is also a half-time lord, and you can tell she can read it (from 6x07, the episode I watched today)... at least, that's what I understood)
As much as I've somehow managed to watch seasons 5 and 6 in about three days as of late, while studying for all my tests, I'm mildly excited for season 7, even though I LOVE the Ponds and hate to see them leave, and the new companion is scary, and there is no news on if a regeneration is happening any time soon, but it will either come this season or next - the longest run has been about 3 seasons for a generation, and I don't see Matt carrying on FOREVER! As much as I LOVE Matt, he's amazing - it ain't gonna happen.

As for creepy: Doctor Who has its moments of DEFINITELY being a sci-fi show. There are also some very low and lame plots. I can say Steven Moffat's episodes are NEVER boring, but have a mild touch of sadness to them if you are a true, die-hard fan. I just blame it on his masochistic tendencies and move on, lol. It's the same in Sherlock.

Indeed, there are some lame plots. In Moffat's case, I think the ideas are good, but not executed well because too much happens. And I don't know about masochistic in Doctor Who seasons 5 and 6, but I do recognize it in Sherlock (incidentally, me and my parents just watched The Blind Banker)

You just summed up my exact view of Moffat's writing much more succinctly than I can lol. His episodes, although fun, are a whirlwind of stuff, and I just wish he would take some depressants and stop trying to be SO INCREDIBLY clever. I mean, being clever is good, but sometimes he's a little too clever and, therefore, has to do too many things to wrap up all of his clever, intertwining plot lines.

Exactly; it kinda bugs me when people are all like "Moffats the greatest writer of all time " because it's not true. Plus I think he sacrifices good characters and caring about them for an exciting plot. You can have both you know.

He's phenomenal... seriously. If he calmed down the scripts he would win best writer of all time. For sure.

Buuut as had been said, he's too complicated, so it cheapens some of the plot lines... Eh. Eleven is my favorite, cheesy episodes and all. \:D/
