That's one thing that irritates me about Sci-Fi. People think it has to be dark and slightly forboding..
It irritates me because it presents (IMO) a wholly unrealistic view of people. That's one area where I think Battlestar Galactica was massively unrealistic. In my experience, people under that much stress often use humour to combat it. No one used humour in that show.
Doctor Who has often been quite dark, but has always had some element of humour in the show (often with variable results, admittedly).
Stephen Moffet overdid the humour in the last series, but he seems to have the correct balance now.

Anyway, on to a different subject. Did everyone like the ending of today's episode?
