OK, what did people think of episode 4? And of Flux in general?

It was batshit angel insanity, but I really enjoyed it. Possibly the best one so far this series. It had a decent story of its own while still feeling like it contributed to the bigger picture.
Have to wonder though, if The Division are still actively hunting down The Doctor, then why did they wait until after she learned of their existence to show themselves? Surely there would have been better opportunities to capture her in her other lives. I mean, she was hardly living in quiet seclusion.

I thought it was actually one of the most exciting episodes of the new series so far. They keep dangling us with The Division and the Doctor's lost memories.
I hope they are going to deliver with the Doctor's prehistory.

Best episode of the series. Totally confused me when the Angels just stopped, but I was a sucker for the cliffhanger!

It was a great episode. I'm totally confused and can't wait to see how the cliffhanger is resolved.

Easily the best episode of the series so far. The Angels were effective. Watching people sprout angel wings was silly.
Still don't care about the Division. A cynical, omnipresent, nigh-omnipotent Section 31... I mean CIA... I mean, well, it's SOOO modern, but completely at odds with the themes and back history of Doctor Who.
I liked the professor: a classic Doctor Who scientist obsessed with science, but he's also able to quickly accept things that make no sense to him.
I liked the idea of an Angel with a distinct agenda. They're not all... ahem... monolithic.
The quantum extraction landscape was effectively creepy.
Didn't care about the Bel and Vinder stuff, though I liked the guy she saved.

Actually, I have a terrible feeling that Bel and Vinder's baby is going to turn out to be The Timeless Child/Doctor. Under any other showrunner I'd think it too ridiculous for them to do, but with Chibnall, who knows?

And not even good fanfiction. |

I thought this too but dismissed it as being too obvious. My built-in mediocrity filter flagged it as a 'no way would they do this'.
I hope not.
Well-put. Absolutely.
However, it would be interesting in an academic sense to see how they would explain the Doctor's ability to endlessly regenerate.
