Some fans were not pleased with the structure of Series 6, and I know someone also thought this on another discussion, because they felt it was slightly too rushed. Some of the episodes were not completely suited to be one parters. Here's how I think it should have been:

  • The Impossible Astronaut
  • Day of the Moon
  • Curse of the Black Spot
  • The Doctor's Wife
  • The Almost People (squeezing the whole ganger thing into one episode)
  • A Good Man Goes to War

A break, like there was in the real series.

  • Let's Kill Hitler
  • Night Terrors
  • The Girl Who Waited
  • The God Complex
  • Closing Time
  • (a sort of first part to the finale, with a title I made up): The Universe of Chaos
  • The Wedding of River Song

As you can probably tell I wasn't a fan of the ganger episodes (they were so boring) but the alternate universe we saw in the finale was a good idea, I thought, and they could have incorporated a sub plot into the finale had they made it a two parter. I'm interested if anyone else thought the series structure was flawed. 77.86.9.25talk to me 16:49, January 16, 2012 (UTC)

so, basically what you're saying is, make the ganger episodes one episode and make the finale a two parter. i wouldn't say the structure was flawed, just that some of the episodes needed a different ammount of time compared to what was given.

Well, not everyone liked the structure. Some didn't like that it opened with a two parter. Some didn't like the break in the middle. I'm just interested in which things most didn't feel right about the Series. 77.86.9.25talk to me 21:38, January 16, 2012 (UTC)

The "ganger" two-parter did have its flaws and it might have been better compressed into one episode. The finalé was, I fully agree, far too rushed and had a much stronger claim on the extra episode than the "ganger" story. The finalé was more fun and also had more story. --89.241.67.8talk to me 01:48, January 17, 2012 (UTC)
