Doctor Who: EVERY Steven Moffat Episode Ranked Worst To Best

River Song is Amy and Rory's daughter... WHAT?!

Despite bizarrely being labelled as too messy and difficult to follow by some fans, Series 6 is where Moffat excels in weaving together multiple threads in a grand tapestry, and A Good Man Goes to War is the best part of that journey.

Though the birth of Melody Pond followed by River proclaiming the day to be her birthday sort of gave the game away early, the end reveal of River's identity is still a big soap opera shocker of a cliffhanger that smartly left several questions open for the second half of the series.

Who says RTD does family drama better than Moffat?

Matt Smith gives an exceptionally good performance in this episode, especially in his "Colonel Runaway" speech, and as always, Murray Gold's music gets an UP from me, with all his best Eleven-era themes on full display – and full volume.

Throw in a couple of whizz-bang action sequences, and A Good Man Goes To War is a five-star blockbuster banger.
