October 11th, 2014 - 11:46am@the dark doctor (formally dalek eternal) maybe it was time?

September 20th, 2014 - 7:43pmI agree I have watched doctor who since the first episode in 1963 But I think it is on its way down again. Claras character is just not right for the program

September 19th, 2014 - 5:31pmI enjoy it and I learn more about doctor life

September 18th, 2014 - 7:26pmI agree with many of the comments so far.
Did not like how much Clara and her story is being emphasized. her relationship with Danny is boring, forced , and uninteresting. She is on scene and taking the lead for to much for a companion.
her relationship with the doctor is lacking any sort of chemistry, possibly due to actual age difference or story driven. either way it is disappointing.
Obviously will keep watching but IMO this season is off to a rocky start and I don’t see it being fixed. but here’s hoping
I am a fan of Capaldi but not many others yet this season
Dalek The Supreme
September 18th, 2014 - 2:24pmWell, my opinion has changed toward the episode, and it’s sort of mixed in my opinion, but I’m glad I could articulate your opinion for you. 🙂

September 18th, 2014 - 12:03amBest episode of the series so far. Excellent. The writers have returned.

September 17th, 2014 - 12:17amIt was Gallifrey. It said so in the script.
The Dark Doctor (Formally Eternal Dalek)
September 16th, 2014 - 8:33pmHas it occured to anyone that if it’s the same barn as in the 50th Anniversary then why perhaps it was not Gallifray.
In the 50th the area had a blue sky, Gallifray has a burnt orange sky…

September 15th, 2014 - 8:54pmThe best episode so far this series. I nearly jumped out my chair on the male speaker saying the boy wouldnt make a timelord, with the scene in the barn. Is there more of this to come I wonder?

September 15th, 2014 - 8:51pmUse your imagination……..that’s what everybody does..in the dark , dark nights.. 🙂
DOCTOR WHO ONE
September 15th, 2014 - 3:54pmAhh, that first comment was from me, I forgot to add my username that time.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
September 15th, 2014 - 3:35pmIt is the Doctor, specifically the 1st Doctor as a child.
Anonymous
September 15th, 2014 - 3:34pmThat was the Doctor, specifically William Hartnell’s Doctor as a child.
sweetie
September 15th, 2014 - 2:10pmHandles u can’t say that his father said, we don’t even know who the couple were that were looking for him, I think if that was my child I would of at least tried to coax the young boy back in, but instead they just left him to it, he obviously had the freedom to do what he wanted even at that young age and the man obviously thought the army would toughen him up. Perhaps pink is a rogue timelord like the master, and that’s why he looks the same and that would explain the time travel in the family comment, perhaps it was aimed at pink not Clara.
sweetie
September 15th, 2014 - 2:01pmAfter watching it again I have a new theory about the boy in the bed at the end, I believe it is the doctor and I think all the children have been collected together ready to be sent to the temporal skism I believe the doctors biggest fear was having to join the army and having to kill people because he hates to hurt people unless to save those he loves.
sweetie
September 15th, 2014 - 11:35amWell said dalek the supreme couldn’t of put it better myself its the doctors fears that keep him going perhaps its the doctor himself under the bed reassuring people he cares for through out time because he found it so comforting himself when Clara did it to him. As for Missy maybe she is Clara in the future that’s how she knows when to save people. Perhaps pink ends up travelling with them that’s why the comment its in the family.

September 15th, 2014 - 11:28amThe media loved it too. The Guardian and Independent reviews were exceptional, giving Moffat the praise that he deserves.
The TARDIS
September 15th, 2014 - 7:36amI’m really split with this one. Sometimes, I love every second of it. It’s very enjoyable, and the twist at the end is quite clever and pulled off very well. Other times though, I hate the scene at the end! I can’t think of any other episode (bar TDOTD) to have divided me in such a way. I think I’m leaning towards the first, but if would appreciate it if in future, Doctor Who would look forwards rather than poking and prodding at the past.

September 15th, 2014 - 1:13amPretty good,i enjoyed it,quite creepy,mysterious,this series is really enjoyable.

September 14th, 2014 - 11:18pmBut thinking back it’s lungbarrow , in the barn where he stayed to hide his crying
So scratch that it’s the doctor
THEMANINBLACK72
September 14th, 2014 - 10:17pmI too think it was the master under the cover
And don’t think literally, regarding boyfriend as as young boys the master and the doctor were childhood friends but one was turned to the darker side
It could still fit

September 14th, 2014 - 10:06pmIt wasn’t Gallirey, In Day of the Doctor, the Barn looked like it was on a nearby planet to me and also, Gallifrey’s Sky is a orange-red colour not blue!
booboo
September 14th, 2014 - 9:51pmits actually got very little hate, only from the more vocal group
polls across all forums rate it very highly

September 14th, 2014 - 9:49pmIt was Gallifrey.
The Doctors were not destroying themselves in DotD as the moment was going to punish them by letting them be the only survivor with the destruction of Gallifrey on their conscience.
When they froze it they were all in their TARDISes.
Gallifrey is full of deserted wastelands which would have no sign of Daleks as they were attacking Arcadia.

September 14th, 2014 - 9:47pmI’ve realised from this episode that even though Clara isn’t the “Best” companion, she is definitely the most important in the Doctor’s life.
