I love the new aliens that you forget once you don't see them. Honestly that may be the only thing I like about this episode. They aren't used in any interesting ways because the plot of the girl and the spaceman is the prime focus which is just so drawn out. Also it really annoys me how the episode takes 20 minutes to get to the point. The plot is not that complicated but the episode spends so long doing so many things for no menaingful reasons but for the sake of doing them. It feels like it's done just to seem smart. I had the same problem with the finale of series 5. The plot is fine but it's told in a way to complicate things and seem smarter than it is. That's the opposite of what should be done for a good story. It should seem simple and clear but actually be complex the deeper you look into it. I think it fails.
