I love this episode, probably more than I should, but I will say the Minotaur itself leaves a lot to be desired, and I think you could have easily replaced it with any other type of villain and this episode could have been just as good if not better.

This is definitely a favourite of mine from series 6 too. And I think the Minotaur is great—it looks magnificent and obviously far surpasses the Nimon who for some bizarre reason receive a namecheck.

One issue here is one which is common to loads of modern Who, which is that there simply is not enough time allotted for giving a tense build-up. Everything sort of happens at once and that means the hotel itself stops being creepy far too early. I would also question whether Rory really is supposed to have no faith whatsoever, which seems absurd; and why what we see in the rooms are quite so boring. Not even a single spider. I mean, come on.

I hate this ep. It's just so boring.

David Walliams was great I guess as we're the weeping angels but why leave Amy and Rory. The doc never had that problem with Rose or Martha so why do it to the married couple

@SonicTsils I'd completely forgotten they "leave" at the end of this. I remember watching this in 2011 when it first aired, and it didn't occur to me for a second that they were trying to pretend they were actually leaving. I never doubted they'd be back... again... and again.

@Fraggle @SonicTsils I actually really like their ending here, and didn’t really mind that it wasn’t the end of the season (because I assumed River would take over through the end), but I’ll save those problems with them leaving and returning for the episodes that bring them back, I can’t really fault it here.

This would have made such a good ending for the Ponds, so I guess my problem with it is that it wasn't their ending. Bringing them back as permanent companions in the next series kind of ruined the end of this episode, where the Doctor realised how much danger he was putting his friends in and let them go while they were "still breathing".

He is one of my favourite doctors and Amy too🤣

The goofy Minotaur villain and Gibbis are unnecessary, as well as the ending being rather confusing.
