Definitely the best episode of the season so far, and one of the best in awhile. I much prefer Capaldi to whatisface, fezhead.
Thoughts as I watched the episode:
- Oh look. Another creepy childhood episode. Are you my mummy? Don't blink. Silence.
- Does this tie into the Silence? It'll be pretty bloody stupid if there are two hiding races following us. Do they have conferences?
- It doesn't seem like it ties in. Half of the crap in this show never makes the leap to connect with anything that it ought to.
- Danny seems awful sensitive. I hope he's seeing a shrink.
- Clara and the Doctor are getting on as equals much more than I can remember seeing ever before with a Doctor and a companion. That's awesome.
- It's also awesome that Clara gets to have a life AND go adventuring while she's nabbing supplies from the supply closet.
- It'd be nice if a guy was introduced and DIDN'T become the boyfriend of the companion.
- Clara is much better with people than the doctor is. Guess that's what comes of being the Carer.
- F*ck me, it comes 'round and makes sense! No tie to the Silence necessary! Glory be, hallelujah!
- She should've told him he could be anything he wanted, even a doctor. That would've been a lovely seed.
- I'll bet dollars we see that toy soldier again.
Danny is sensitive because he has killed (while a solider)
Yes, like the leaf before, the toy solider will no doubt show up again, and remember its an item kept in the family....
