Ooo, I'm being talked about on tumblr now? Haha...I have a tumblr account too, but I was afraid to post a link there, because some people on tumblr can be quiet scary :P
I'm glad you aren't scary though!
I absolutely LOVED how sexuality in this episode was handled. It was so refreshing to see.
And of course, just because I think Moffat has done this correctly, doesn't mean that he does EVERYTHING correctly. I think that's where a lot of people fall down these days - it's as though if someone writes one bad character (or even two) it must mean that they are ALWAYS going to write bad characters...they are ALWAYS going to be sexist/racist/whatever... when that just isn't the case. I think the moral of the story is that we all make mistakes - Irene should be allowed her faults, just as Moffat should be allowed his. It doesn't mean that Irene is anti-feminist, nor does it mean that Moffat can't write women. Maybe he just has a harder time of it, but that doesn't mean that he can't occasionally get it right. :)
