It's a Moffat episode, so I'm wary. But this looks like it could scare the poo poo out of some kids, so yay!

Rita Repulsa posted:I was surprised when Rusty did not kick the bucket at the end, that's how these kinds of tales usually go. Instead Rusty goes off on a venture. Nicholas Briggs probably got down on his hands and knees and begged Moffat not to kill him off so Big Finish could one day give him his own range.

Keira Knightly in next weeks episode? Also, I liked that one - I'm glad they're going into the personality of this new and radical Doctor. Everyone's learning what make's him tick - Moffat, Capaldi and us - and it's quite refreshing.

It's one of those ones that's gonna be properly explained in the final two-parter. Cos the Doctor has never indicated that he had that army man, has he? In my wildest dreams, Missy shows up in the Tardis, puts the army figure on the console and says: "Hello again Doctor. It has been a long time since you looked into the eyes of Morbius, hasn't it?"

Crazy Man posted:Need to re-watch, but who was the Doctor actually talking to in the beginning? Whoever knocked his chalk off. Also, Moffat talking about this episode: “It was really down to an entirely selfish desire. I remember the first thing I said about this year’s run is: ‘I’m going to do a chamber piece, with no money, in the middle, because I haven’t done one in ages and I’d like to prove that I can actually write.’”

Based on a previous recommendation, I picked up Deadline. This story is going to stay with me for a long, long time. That's some of the finest writing I think I've ever heard.

Fil5000 posted:Moffat wrote a sitcom about teachers years ago in which literally everyone was a total dick. I don't think he enjoyed his time as a teacher. That show resonated very strongly with the teachers I know. Being a teacher generally sucks for everyone involved.

Ludicro posted:Right, I'm flying out to the United States in a couple of days, and given the prospect of spending 19 hours in the air I've decided that this is the perfect time to get some Big Finish in to listen to during the trip. Deadline, Singularity, Jubilee, The Silver Turk, Dark Eyes, The Fires of Vulcan.

Jerusalem posted:I would love to see 5 utterly bungle his way through a bank heist He'd be totally fine, but his companions would keep getting caught and he'd have to bust them out of jail every five minutes. If they stayed on the Tardis, he'd have the monsters freed and be back in time for celery soup.

Wonderful episode that happily put scientific accuracy on the sideline for the sake of a fun, scary and silly plot and some wonderful character moments. It's pretty much everything we want from Doctor Who, isn't it? Capaldi still proves to be one of the very best Doctors and Coleman is shaping up to be one of the best companions. This season has been one of the strongest in Who's history and it's great Moffat is taking chances with the Doctor's character a la Colin Baker. At least this time he has the cachet and clout behind him to see the gradual adjustment of the Doctor's personality come to fruition. If the rest of the series is episodes of this caliber, I know I will be one very happy viewer. Well played Moffat, well played.

Majorian posted:Yeah, on one hand, I get that it's as formulaic as a "Doctor Who" episode gets, but on the other hand, I don't feel like it was executed poorly. It's a mediocre episode, but I don't think it's a terrible one. I put it off for ages because of its bad rep. When I actually got around to watching it, I didn't mind it as it was like a non-poo poo version of Black Orchid.

SirSamVimes posted:The thing that bothers me the most about this episode even more than the impossibilities of the egg being laid immediately was the fact that if they let the bombs go off, the Doctor would have let them be vapourised. While I've been enjoying the harsher Doctor that Peter Capaldi portrays, that is just too far. He would have materialised the tardis around them at the split second before detonation.

Striking Yak posted:The decision presented was "should we blow up this thing we only learned existed an hour ago and re-form the Moon, or risk the survival of the entire human race?". How is that even a discussion? Blow up the space dragon. Clara essentially decided to genocide the entirety of humanity. People didn't often die in childbirth in the 90s. It is possible for human females to still continue to interact with the world after spawning.

Gaz-L posted:I sympathise, and I didn't even hate this episode, but do you want me to post the Sydney Newman mission statement thing? There's a line between 'don't let details get in the way of a story' and 'something so silly a 5 year old will raise an eyebrow'. No 5 year old would raise an eyebrow to this. They'll just look outside at the moon and think "That's a big space alien egg! Cool!" Some people are really trying to take all the fun out of a kids show.

Yeah, The Holy terror wasn't doing it for me for the first episode or so. I couldn't quite understand why it had the reputation it had, but slowly it turned into something beautiful.
