Don't give me an ...ish.
Goodness had nothing to do with it.
And Missy's back. "My Clara".
I liked it.

Just brilliant. Loved seeing Capaldi's Doctor unleash his fury. Kind of strange that it took so long given his grumpy portrayal of the character but it was completely worth it.

"Goodness had nothing to do with it." Ominous.
Also, siege mode TARDIS fascinated me. It has real DWAITAS potential.

So she's Missy's Clara now?
When does she get to be her own Clara?
Loved the episode, anyway.

Extradimensional invaders were original and well-realised, not to mention very creepy when they were staggering along the train tunnel!
One thought about Siege Mode - do the external dimensions (which were broken here) determine the real-world form? So in an emergency situation where the TARDIS is it's usual full-size Police Box self, does Siege Mode leave the TARDS as a roughly 6ft x 6ft x6ft cube?

This alone made price of admission worth it: I agree. Loved that image there and the idea of the spaces. You know, in some ways this reminds me a bit of Evil Dead with the possessed hand. I also like how we're starting to get more of the good out of Peter Capaldi's Doctor. I think now people can say he's The Doctor for real. Next week's episode looks great also. Wonder what the final fallout will be of The Doctor and Danny? I didn't get the meaning of the title for next week's episode when I originally heard about it, but now it makes perfect sense. Am I the only one now who wants to hear Peter Capaldi do a reciting of William Blake's 'The Tyger?' Also, I think Missy MIGHT be The Valeyard now, but we'll have to wait and see. It could be something else, but the "My Clara" line seems to reaffirm the beliefs. |

Actually, just noticed. In Mummy in the Orient Express Clara's hair was cut really short, but it was back to full length for this one. How long HAS she been deceiving Danny for?

I don't think it's entirely out of the question the Doctor had a hair band somewhere that could shift the external dimensions of you hair, making appear to be a different length.

Or... Clara wore a wig to go with the rest of her costume.

Loved this one.
Continuing my theory that each episode of this series has a clear thematic link back to an old episode, what was this one? Silence in the Library - creatures that hide in the dark/creatures that hide in the walls? Or Night Terrors - something hiding in a tower block that drags people into the carpet/wall? Or something else I missed?

This one was spectacular. It ranks among the most unique and memorable Doctor Who stories of all-time. I loved this episode.

It was great - but I agree with two of the problems found by the presenters on the Verity podcast - The Boneless is a naf name for the badguys, and there's no reason why there couldn't have been females in the story other than Clara - women also commit crimes and do community service (just look at Misfits)

A good episode. Loved the horror elements and the comedy of a shrunken TARDIS. Quite liked the "boneless" and would like to see them again if just to learn what could have made them try to flee/invade into an entirely inhospitable dimension. There are potential stories there.
