[QUOTE="tomBitonti, post: 6430186, member: 13107"] I thought there were some nice moments. The death of the scientist was odd: Odd to discard a character after presenting them in that much detail. Adds to the poignancy, but, detracts from the story telling. All you get out of it is how nasty Mistress is. From a dramatic storytelling point of view, the business with Danny's emotions was a train wreck. Either it is significant, or its not. They tried to have it both ways, and as a result the story point doesn't work. Clara seems to rebound a little too quickly. But, that is TV for you, where tragedies are resolved in a blink. A person could be completely devastated and need months to recover from such a loss. I do wonder why the Doctor responded the way he did after visiting Gallifrey. Because he can't go back? Or won't? Something about Gallifrey perhaps? Oh, and the security on the Mistress (and the guards). Not nearly the worst every, but pretty terrible. They didn't search her? And, who uses those sorts of hand cuffs anymore? And wouldn't you restrain her in several different ways? And, wouldn't the guards prevent the scientist from approaching? Seems like standing orders for a secured prisoner. And why not call for help after the threat was made? So much wrong that my brain hurts ... Thx! TomB [/QUOTE]
