But that still doesn't negate the fact that an episode called "Night Terrors" failed to frighten me.
There you have the final, brutal truth, god knows. (And part of me is less willing to forgive NT than I was to forgive the admittedly execrable CotBS, because CotBS at least had Spaaaaace Piiiraates!!!!! and NT was rather joyless, despite Rory's and the Doctor's best efforts. I don't mean happy; there was a sense of joy, for me, in "Flesh and Stone," for instance, despite its darkness. Maybe the better word to use is lifeless; NT felt lifeless, where CotBS at least felt almost cosmically cheesy. And I think cheese has more life and dynamics than NT.
Wow. I'm really starting to dislike NT now. Oh, dear.
