Surely it's a fear because there could be some fucker hiding under there and it's a pretty vulnerable place. He might as well be asking why some people are afraid to open the fridge in case a murderous clown head jumps out at you. :/

Edit to add: If these things ever team up with the weeping angels they will be unstoppable. And/or a hilarious buddy comedy. SiKboy fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Sep 13, 2014 |

Did Steven Moffat forget how to write stories? This is a purely incoherent series of events.

So the entire thing was just for her having been there when the Doctor was a kid?  loving hell, this is bad. Edit: why is there so much loving "serious drama" being poured over this.

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.

That was.... odd. I am not at all a fan of jumping back to the Doctor's childhood no matter how carefully they try to frame it, and while it was handled well I think it was still a mistake to include it. Also I guess we're supposed to take it as a given that it WAS just another kid fooling around with Rupert under that bedspread, except at one point it (out of focus) took the bedspread off and it looked like a monster so... ? I don't know, weird episode - I liked every individual part of it but it didn't make for a cohesive whole at all, and not just because of the jumps in time and space that it took.

When Moffat decides to arbitrarily retcon Clara, he's gonna have a loving job of it.

Autonomous Monster posted:So I guess it really was a kid under the bedspread. It could have been some fucker there to murder the kid too, maybe rob them blind at the same time and they just let him get away to rob and murder someone else. Edit: and there was stuff knocking on the door at the end (when everything was supposed to be dead). Oh and did he really need a magic screwdriver to make the door go from "locked" to "unlocked"?

There was no way to not include it, literally the entire point of the episode was Moffat writing an origin story for The Doctor.

Nice idea, not a bad execution, but unnecessary and doomed from the get-go since they can't go into specifics at all. The Doctor's youth really doesn't need any exploration or definition, it's better left to the viewer's imagination, especially since we already know what makes him into the person that we know (his adventures with humans through time and space starting from An Unearthly Child).

Aaaa that episode was loving amazing! Capaldi is the best Doctor ever, he's such a dick. And Clara is actually interesting this series. And it was one of the ones where I could guess about things and then they happened and I could feel clever. Also nice to see we're back to a big huge thread for the series. Also also I see the thing Moffat was trying to terrify children about this series is nothing at all. That man is a menace.

So wait, if the barn was attached to an orphanage, where was the orphanage when the War Doctor turned up? And why the hell did they build an orphanage in the middle of the desert?

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?"

Oh, and the Doctor blocking Clara's door from opening fully was great. And him stealing the coffee. And looking for Wally. I think I like him even more than Smithdoc.
