Ben Miller was clearly channeling Alan Rickman. Down to having a death scene that was a homage to Die Hard. |

I liked it, and it was nice to have an episode we could watch with little miss 4yo next week not by the look of it that said, I also prefer the doctor to be the cleverest man in the room, but I quite like Clara so didn't mind so much and it was indeed quite silly, but to me that was just the mood of this episode so I was ok with it well except the ZOMG Spoiler!

Really liked it this week. Plot holes galore on the ending though, but that didn't take anything away from it. |

Yes good. Apart from the ending. Though even that the way it was done was fairly clever. |

I think I might have convinced a young American fan to dress as Captain Jack Harkness for his Halloween party. Will have to see if he goes through with this. |

Post subject: | Re: Doctor Who |
I'm kind of surprised at how much I liked today's episode. I think it's my favourite of the series so far. More what I want. The problem with Listen was that while it was very clever and all that, it did rather shoot itself in the foot. I dislike some of these time paradox things, especially in such a context as that episode. And the idea of Clara being responsible for everything ever is a tad annoying. But this week was just a solid adventure story and with a more authoritative Doctor which is good. When listen was good it was better than this. When it was worse it was far far worse. |

I'm liking this series, I think I only saw the first series of Smith, but oh my Clara is lovely. |

Another good episode. Very impressed by the Doc, Clara, and now Danny. |

Post subject: | Re: Doctor Who |
I love Capaldi, and Clara, but am wondering what is going on for the most part. Not sure why The Doctor is not recognising stuff and with the soldier hatred theme. Maybe it's all an arc rather than just being dumb, but it just feels a little 'off'. Maybe it's all tied up in the 'heaven' thing. This whole series had better not be a dream/matrix! |

Torn on this one. Scary moon spiders: proper nightmare fuel, regardless of how knowingly 'Alien' they are. Complex moral dilemma with the Doc refusing to get involved and wave a sonic screwdriver: refreshing. Giant dragon hatching out of the moon and laying an egg? ???? Taking a 15 year old with you who isn't your granddaughter? Dubious, and not sure the character added much. EDIT: Oh, and 20:30 feels way too late for 'Doctor Who'. |

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. |

Post subject: | Re: Doctor Who |
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. |

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. |

Doctor who seems to like contradicting itself. 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. |

He doesn't write for a particular actor, but writes for the Doctor. It's down to the actor to make the differences. |

My biggest problem with Capaldi is the mumbling. |
