I have to say, you were about eight hundred percent more patient with the episode than I was. I came to it really wary after the way the last episode had made me seriously confront how disgusting this season as a whole has been, so I was ready to check out if it too proved disgusting. Which it did. By the time it got to nerdy conspiracy guy's time in the spotlight, I was just throwing out everything that was upsetting me, including him because of his room. I didn't even see the room as a jab at him; to me it was just more gender fuckery (in this instance, I read it as resentment that his nerdiness precluded him from being "entitled" to female adoration).

So, yeah, I definitely stopped picking up on any positives or giving the episode any credit pretty early on in large part because of my growing anger over the direction this season has taken. I will freely admit to that. In the mindset I'm in right now, it simply isn't enough for it to do some stuff right. I need this show to stop fucking up before I can let it make me happy again, and right now I am invulnerable to the hotel because I have no faith that that will ever happen. Definitely not as long as Moffat is running things.
