@Patrick
I just felt that the emotion was a bit piled on in The Girl Who Waited, and got in the way of a strong concept. It’s not like we didn’t already know how much Amy and Rory care for each other!
Much preferred the escapism, humour and more subtle emotion of God Complex. Toby Whithouse for showrunner!
Still, each to their own!

@Rassilon’s Rod The God Complex was a good episode but not as strong and good as the girl who waited. It had superb acting in the latter and had a great but sad twist at the end. I'm not saying the former wasn't acted great it was and it was a really good idea but just lacked something, something that wasn't quite there cause it was kind of straightforward in the end really.

@Rosalie I'd have preferred The God Complex rather than The Girl Who Waited personally, cracking episode! The Doctor's Wife is the clear winner though, instant classic!

@TWWL Two parters have been nominated in the past (Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead, The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang) ;)

What about The God Complex?!? The Doctor’s Wife of those listed, but really…

It’s The Doctor’s Wife for me; though like others, baffled how they overlooked Impossible/Moon. For me it was the story of the season, and certainly better than A Good Man Goes To War. Though as the catagory states ’short form’ perhaps something like a two parter could not be considered, only the stand alones.

Hopefully either the Doctor’s Wife or A Good Man Goes To War wins. I’m slightly surprised that The Impossible Astronaut or Day of the Moon weren’t nominated.

I’m hoping for The Girl Who Waited. It was a very emotional episode, and the whole concept was so interesting. I was thoroughly moved by it.

@TSG I agree with you though I'm not sure on The Doctor's Wife. When I first watched it I didn't enjoy it but I've watched it more and more and started to slightly enjoy it but I just prefer The Girl Who Waited as the performance by Karen especially as older Amy was outstanding as was Arthur and Matt. I don't know how the opening 2 parter wasn't up for the award though.

I want The Girl Who Waited to win, I think, although to be honest I’m torn between that one and The Doctor’s Wife. They were both so so brilliant. Can everyone else make arguments that will help me make up my mind?
