The mood is a bit of a clusterfuck, but villain looks cool.

Can we please have less Vastra this series? She exists only as walking exposition button.

If we don't get one Peter Capaldi Run, series is a bogey.

Those who watched TToI will testify that Peter Capaldi running is the funniest loving thing.

Was this episode filmed in front of a greenscreen or something?

Everything outdoors just looks really wonky.

I think they're just carrying on the DW tradition of loving TINY sets, so they're having to get really creative with framing to not expose that.



(e): The cartoon slapstick is SUPER jarring.

OK, the description of his eyebrows did get a laugh out of me.

Now I'm kinda disappointed this isn't his permanent outfit. Scottish Hobo Doctor would be gold.

I'm not a doctor, but I'm fairly sure you can't just hold your breath until you pass out.

Here comes the Deus Ex Machinists, on cue to restore the status quo.

"I bet you can't even remember where you got that face from!" Holds up mirrored tray with himself perfectly framed.

I think you may have BROKEN the nose that was so firmly on, Moffat.




Oh look gratuitous lesbian kiss.

Capaldi's veins are doing some good acting

He's an anatomical model wrapped in a flesh-coloured bin bag.

So my general impression here is that this was a great big pile o' shite cobbled together from parts of a vastly superior episode.

It was blocks of mediocre held together by how excellent Capaldi already is.

Really wanted the Tardis to turn out to be the coffee stand in that Glasgow scene.

If they'd panned out and it was Buchanan Street, I would have lost my loving mind.

I would be bang alongside her being the master or the rani to be honest. Give me an episode with the master, the rani, the dreamlord and the valeyard, call it "The 4 anti-doctors" and I'll be all over that poo poo.

I've lost so much faith in Moffat that I loving hope he forgets The Master, Rani, Dreamlord and Valeyard exist, because I don't want the few canon credible threats the Doctor has anymore being Moffatted.

Plus, I know I'm in the minority here, but The End of Time was the perfect end to the Master, and I hope they have the foresight to just leave him there.

Best Dalek moment in nu Who is their response to the cybermen's request for an alliance.

Dalek/Cyberman trash-talk was the high point of nu Who in general.
