[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 6383451, member: 70"] 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: [LIST] [*]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. [/LIST] Basically: [LIST] [*]I love that Clara pushes back against the Doctor and takes charge. I LOVE seeing her behave as an adult, not some addle-pated child-woman (coughPondcough) [*]I love that the story doesn't invoke another mystery race. Enough already. The Who-verse has tons of breadth, but it often lacks depth as things are introduced, used for a season, and discarded, never to be referenced again. [*]I'm fine with the mystery of what's under the blanket. maybe it's just another kid. Don't care, don't want to know. That whole scene was a bit ham-handed and could've been shot to be more ambiguous (they don't get out from under the bed; the Doctor suddenly looks under it and sees them; they _all_ get under the bed; cue dialogue about not looking; weight leaves bed) and would've worked better, but whatever. I'm used to squinting at this show to avoid seeing the skips and scratches. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
