CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Fairynuff. Doctor Who will forever remain one of those things that I just don't 'get'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) Really liked it. I feel the episode was a little long, quite a bit of stuff which didn't really seem necessary (mostly everything with Clara, Jnny, Vastra and Strax where the Doctor was asleep) but Capaldi really grew into the role and I really like his approach. Love that there's a new direction to Dr Who. There was only so much flirting-and-running-away-from-quirky-aliens you can do over 8 series. This has a potential for some really exciting new storylines, and a lot more edginess that the Doctor isn't always just going to save everyone and finish the episode with everyone all happy and justice done. I didn't get that shit in the garden at all though. I hope we don't have a new River Song type character.

Eames Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Capaldi is and remains a genius piece of casting. Absolutely superb, although I did spend the duration of the episode and probably will the series waiting for him to launch into a Tucker-esqe bollocking with F-Bombs aplenty. My only compalint about the episode was the BBC in full post-Savile "THE OLD MAN REALLY ABSOLUTELY DEFINITELY POSITIVELY IS NOT REPEAT NOT FLIRTING WITH THE SEXY ASSISTANT" mode. That said, Jenna Coleman is fantastic. Edited August 27, 2014 by Eames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted August 30, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 30, 2014 After last week's promising start, I have to say tonight's episode was very poor indeed. A crap plot that should have been thrown out at the first script conference. Capaldi's talents deserve better than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) I really like the new doctor really brings some gravitas to the role prefer him over the last one was a bit childish Oh and i know i say this after every episode but Clara <3 Edited August 31, 2014 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 What I don't get is they never mention Clara having been through the doctors timeline. She has been inside a dalek before (well was actually one). You'd think she would've said that, which would've given the crew more reason to think doctor and Clara were spies hence the whole surveillance of them. Ash villa, bet you loved when she was in the wet clothes that showed off her figure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Jenna is indeed stunning. The only time I watched Emmerdale was when she was in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Definitely seeing some tucker esque script moments though like when he had the soldier in the tardis at the start and making her say please would he take her back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Capaldi is a good doctor but the first two episodes have been quite dull to say the least. Clara is confirmed to be leaving after this season so I wonder who comes next? I imagine the show needs some famous new companion to keep the ratings high.

mjmooney Posted September 6, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Robin Hood. Throwaway, but kind of in the spirit of the early years. The Hartnell/Troughton/Baker programmes had a lot of that stuff. Edited September 6, 2014 by mjmooney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 This series has just seemed like filler episodes. Tonight's episode was alright and a bit enjoyable, but I just feel like something is missing. Matt Smith's series had good plots behind them for the most part. So far with Capaldi's, it just seems random and not much really going on. I don't know how to describe it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
