I liked most of it, but think that the premise of letting a giant space baby live even though it will probably kill millions of people to be one I would struggle to get on the moral side of.

So much in that episode which annoyed me. The whole concept of the moon hatching and also the laying an egg the size of it was just nonsense. Unicellular life that was huge didn't make any sense either. Still too much the Clara show too. Nah. Not working for me.

Okay in case people haven't seen it I'm going to spoiler some stuff I had a problem with:

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
The moon has gained weight because it's an egg and a creature has grown inside it. A creature cannot be heavier than the contents of the egg from which it is produced without consuming something from outside the egg. PREPOSTEROUS

The spiders are unicellular lifeforms. Unicellular when they are that complex and that large? Bollocks.

The space phoenix thing lays an egg. BIGGER THAN ITSELF. GAHH. STUPIDSTUPIDSTUPID.

Oh and Clara saves the day again. Whoopee!

I thought the moon gained weight because the 'bacteria' were multiplying, but again, where were they getting their resources from if not from the moon. OK, I agree with you.

Doesn't a chick develop and gain wait from the stuff in the egg? I am sure an egg is lighter than the chick hatched.

Yes, but the weight of the chick+egg stays the same, unless the egg "breathes" (I have no idea if real eggs do this, but eggs the size of the moon in space surely can't?)

A chicken and an egg are in bed. The egg is smoking a cigarette.
'Another problem solved' says the chicken.

I'm here until Friday - try the fish.

It's a physical impossibility. Think about it. What source of weight gain could it possibly have? Weight is gained by consuming sustenance which in this case is completely sealed inside the egg shell. There is no way there can be more weight than the egg without external sustenance.

No, it's not in any way shape or form impossible. Eggs are porous for starters. Then consider the case of a tree. Where does most of its bulk come from? (Answer: The air). Then: Long growing alien life form with alien rules.

Maybe it feeds via a wormhole to a different universe, or converts energy into matter like an inverted atomic bomb? Or there's a... Ummm...

No, you're right. It was silly.


Pretty sure we can not use those tags by now. Or do we wait a week. I forget.

Yep, that was pretty good. Getting a bit bored of the heartless stuff and the ridiculous change of heart at the end was crap and made no sense.

That was probably my favourite too, though Listen was also good.

Love Capaldi.

I think Listen had a good initial premise but then introduced a time paradox and also completely destroyed its main concept by the end.

Doesn't the Tardis stop paradoxes? Hence she was used by the Master as a paradox engine.

But then it wouldn't let old Amy on board in that episodes with the "two streams facility".
Doctor who seems to like contradicting itself.

There's never much consistency in the logic of Doctor Who to be fair.

The Doctor lies.

Anyway, I've been very pleased at how Series 8 has panned out so far, with the exception of that Inner Space Dalek episode. I feel Capaldi is really growing into the role now.

The latest episode certainly showed promise for Capaldi as The Doctor. I've not been enjoying much of this series as I felt they had been writing capaldi like Mat Smith too much. This episode felt different.

Moffatt has spoken previously of this. He doesn't write for a particular actor, but writes for the Doctor. It's down to the actor to make the differences.

What to you sounds like mumbling is in fact just a Scottish accent.

Not quite as good as Mummy but still a pretty good episode. Jamie Mathieson seems to know best out of all the current writers in how to write an episode...

That was possibly my favourite of the series. If not best then certainly up there.

It's starting to hit its stride, IMO, even if it's more about Clara than The Doctor.

I enjoyed this more than I was expecting. A decent short story, with a mystery that didn't involve evil aliens taking over Cardiff London. A bit fantastical, but within the tale made sense. The use of fairy tale elements such as the girl's red coat was a nice touch too.
