September 20th, 2014 - 10:59pmAt last!!! An episode that I really enjoyed. Good to see the Doctor taking the lead at last with less focus on Clara.
This episode could have done with being the longer episode rather than Deep Breath.
Unlike everyone else Im not too sure about next weeks episode. Looks like it maybe returning the focus back to Clara and Danny. Yawn.
Anyway, at least this one was good.

THE MOFFAT PARADOX (IS BACK)
September 20th, 2014 - 10:26pmNow that the great Doctor Who Scottish viewers crisis from a break up of BBC Scotland has been averted (I’ve often wondered if Alex Salmond was something like a Dalek puppet) with the rejection of sepratism in the referendum we here can now just worry about scares from the programme.
Another good episode and I thought the mind eating “Teller” was a worthy addition to the WHO universe.Who does seem to be getting with Peter Capaldi’s Doctor darker again of which I heartily approve and I’m also looking forward to seeing what the Cybermen are up to when they reappear (Maybe we haven’t also seen the last of Skaro’s finest this series either) as well as finding out exactly who and what Missy is in the series finale.

September 20th, 2014 - 9:12pmIt was Okay not brilliant tho!
It was a very creative idea but seemed rushed throughout, i wasn’t a fan of the additional actors involved and i was rather annoyed with the twist at the end, i didn’t expect it but i hate episodes with love story endings like that, just like they did with Hide – that was an amazing episode which was also ruined by a love story ending -_-

September 20th, 2014 - 9:09pmClara is becoming annoying, and always steals the Dr’s spotlight.

September 20th, 2014 - 8:47pmnext weeks looks amazing
The Silent Silent
September 20th, 2014 - 8:42pmI also thought it was rushed
The Silent Silent
September 20th, 2014 - 8:42pmIt was OK. Cant wait till next week!!!
Doctor Stu
September 20th, 2014 - 8:40pmOh yeh….that was a bit of an anti climax i was expecting a sycorax maybe as a bank customer or one of the Santa droids in the black cloak and gold mask, ah well it was still a great episode but slightly confusing
the astronaut of death

RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
September 20th, 2014 - 8:35pmLoved this ep! Simple but good story, great characters with a fab twist. Nice to have a new, bad proper alien. (Not an android, robots that were hardly there, or something that was never there)
The Teller was fantastic!

Dalek Supreme
September 20th, 2014 - 8:34pmInteresting, to say the least.
Enjoyable, but most people will be confused, even though the final twist is kinda predictable towards the end. The Teller certainly was an interesting, well I can’t really say he/she/it was a ‘villain’, so I suppose creature? I enjoyed it more than Listen, because the ‘goodness’ was spread over the episode, rather than in the first half.
I feel it was overcomplicated, but best so far. 8.5/10. Next week looks alright, but not high hopes…

September 20th, 2014 - 8:34pmi really enjoyed this episode! peter capaldi was so incredibly amazing! 😀 it wasn’t all about clara which was brilliant. one thing though: for the trailer for the caretaker, it had my favourite matt smith tune! YAY!!!
Gallifrey Will Rise Again
September 20th, 2014 - 8:32pmAnother great episode. Would love to see william russell make a cameo appearance, i think that would be rather special.

September 20th, 2014 - 8:30pmYes what he said

September 20th, 2014 - 8:28pmReally good, I just love this incarnation of the Doctor – that dark alien side to him just hasn’t been seen for many years. All this talk of ‘The Architect’ – I expected Richard Briers to turn up…or maybe he’s in next weeks episode (look at the title!)Loved the two ‘companions’ in this episode too – much better than the Paternoster Gang and far more interesting a story when it doesn’t focus most of the plot on Clara

The Temporal Jelly Baby
September 20th, 2014 - 8:24pmVery good, very clever (slightly confusing), and the Teller was epic. 🙂

September 20th, 2014 - 8:23pmFor the first time ever, each episode of this series is just magnificent, there’s not one that I hate. This week was no exception, brilliant storyline, good guest cast and really catchy soundtrack from Murrary Gold.
KEEP IT UP DOCTOR WHO! 😆
