I liked it. Nice mix of tropes; hidden London (very Diagon Alley), perception filter inducing panzaism, death countdown, topical refugee motif, ravens, homoerotic Jane Austen reference, and the return of Ashildr. Plus the death of Clara of course.

Absolutely loved it. Torn between this and The Zygon Inversion as my favourite. Actually watched the end through tears.
One thing that really pissed me off though was that the BBC announcer at the start basically spoiled the ending. Very bad form.
I genuinely believe this has been the best season in all of NuWho. Apart from that ridiculous sandman episode it's just ticked all the right boxes for me. Can't wait to see what happens next week.

Looking forward to the next episode. The badguys have no clue how much trouble they are in already.

Wow. Best episode of the season so far, hands down!
SPOILER ALERT: Is Clara really dead? Mmmh, just check the cover of the latest's DW magazine...

12 was already one of the meaner incarnations of the Doctor (1, 7 & War and maybe 9 during his PTSD moments come close)...and they pissed him off.
Run little immortal, run silly puppet master; you've called down your doom. Heaven Sent you may be, but he is Hell Bent on making you pay.

12 is one of the top Doctors you don't want to piss off

Very good episode. I'm not a big fan of companions dying but this was a pretty good story.
Also, The Doctor has met Ashildr in two episodes since making her immortal and she's been a confused selfish wreck each time. I don't think she's a very good person at heart.

Uh? Am I the only one to think that Clara is not dead (yet)? Here is the cover I was referring to in my previous post: www.doctorwhomagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/DWM493_COVER-234x300.jpg(EDIT after Ingenuity + Continuity roll... : maybe it's just a flashback from some unseen adventure that we'll be offered glimpses of - since apparently the next episode will be a very introspective one - why haven't I thought of this before?)

Or maybe it's one of the multitude of splinters buzzing around the Doctor's timeline since The Name of the Doctor.

Yep. It could be a flashback, dream, hallucination et cetera. Or simply another splinter of Clara, or that one time-shifted. Or a Zygon. Then there are other options like a clone, shapeshifting robot, Dalek duplicate (is Davros behind Ashildr's plot?), parallel universe, mental image...

Not bad. Liked it for the most part but I felt that the Clara death was a let down. We had one character question why everyone ran, hinting to me that if you stood and faced it you would/might survive. Instead Clara takes an unnecessary demise. By this stage, and before what she did to Clara, I have already begun to dislike "Me".
