I'm specifically referring to the way the doctor kills the goblins. If the job could be done with a laser gun then it's not an interesting solution. It would have been better if the Doctor played by whatever magic rules the goblins live by and turn it back on them, maybe tricking them in some way. That would have made the episode end like an actual fairy tale, if they're going to bring fairy tale monsters in they can actually use that to their full potential instead of just "blow them up".
I would have also preferred a solution that involved using their own weird logic against them, but using mavity mitts to pull down the ship and impale the goblin king on a church spire is at least unique and unexpected.
shrug Seemed Doctor-y enough to me, but I can see where you're coming from.
