What Did You Think of Episode 7 Kill The Moon?
In the near future, the Doctor and Clara find themselves on a space shuttle making a suicide mission to the Moon.
Crash-landing on the lunar surface, they find a mining base full of corpses, vicious spider-like creatures poised to attack, and a terrible dilemma.
When Clara turns to the Doctor for help, she gets the shock of her life.
Now that the 7th episode of series 8 has been aired what did you think? Was it everything you had hoped for or not what you expected…

October 4th, 2014 - 9:50pmYou’re kidding right? Most ridiculous theory I have ever heard in my life.

October 4th, 2014 - 9:47pmSorry to disappoint but Clara is the main star (cough cough) of Flatline

October 4th, 2014 - 9:47pmWell, I didn’t tune in to watch this one, as I gave up on it last week, so obviously I cant comment on it.
BUT – I have an observation here though ..
Because I was thinking ‘comments’ and not ‘doctor who’ I now believe strongly that many of the commenters here – especially those that reply to people giving negative reviews – are a few people that are posting many messages as different people – just commenting with a different name.
Maybe its BBC gremlins trying to make good? if so this message will get deleted most likely. Either way, reading between the lines it seems I didn’t miss much, I am not going to comment here further either, as its overrun with these ‘gremlins’. Bye Bye.

The Temporal Jelly Baby
October 4th, 2014 - 9:46pmTo sum up the poll so far, quite a lot thought that it was absolutely brilliant, a large amount (surprisingly) thought it was just terrible and not many people voted for things in the middle. So yes, this episode was Marmite. It was epic for me. 😀

October 4th, 2014 - 9:44pmTo quote the Time Lord: “I AM The Doctor, whether you like it…or not”

October 4th, 2014 - 9:42pmI agree with your description of Clara the character is wrong for the show, she is probably a good actress but this is not for her
Jake
October 4th, 2014 - 9:41pmI agree dalekdave: the previous episodes have been pretty bad, they need to do episodes like when David Tennant and Christopher Eccleston were doctor. This weeks was much better than the others so far!!

October 4th, 2014 - 9:40pmI for 1 loved this episode. I think it was bigged up to be a lot more scary than it actually was (it was still scary though). I loved the 2 minute cameo from Danny. I thought the ending was very interesting. Second episode to have a moral dilemma (the other being Into The Dalek).
1. Kill The Moon
2. Deep Breath
3. The Caretaker
4. Listen
5. Time Heist
6. Into The Dalek
7. Robot of Sherwood (which IS a kids one)
The Temporal Jelly Baby
October 4th, 2014 - 9:39pmIt is quite possibly my favourite episode of all time – on a par with stories like Genesis of the Daleks and Blink.

October 4th, 2014 - 9:39pm1. Kill the Moon

Gallifrey Will Rise Again
October 4th, 2014 - 9:38pmOh he’s the doctor alright, and a damn fine one at that.
Jake
October 4th, 2014 - 9:36pmMatt Smith was just awful as the doctor…this episode has been the best in years!!!
Dalek Supreme
October 4th, 2014 - 9:35pmWell. That could have been better. Story was pretty good, simple enough, a good twist and executed well to boot. Really nice Moon sets as well, and the Moon Spider/Germ things looked pretty good too in CGI.
Unfortunately, the acting part is a big letdown. Capaldi, with the exception of Deep Breath, was at his usual high standard. And the main Astronaut lady (No I don’t remember the name, nor do I care) was quite good too, and felt like a developed character, with SOUL and PERSONALITY.
Courtney before was kinda fun, but was utterly dreary to watch in this episode. Just a whiny ‘I’m Scared’ kid role, which is a shame, because she wasn’t too bad before.
Clara however, is still unlikeable after about 1 1/2 series. She’s not really emotional, just kinda whiny with a tad of bitch thrown in for good measure. You don’t like the Doctor now? Fine, not bothered at all. You were much better as Oswin Oswald.
6/10. Good enough story and things, but some really poor acting just makes it *so* slooooooow. Next week looks silly, but kinda scary and fun too!
The TARDIS
October 4th, 2014 - 9:35pmWeird! I thought it felt more like Doctor Who than anything we’ve seen for a long time – and I loved it!

October 4th, 2014 - 9:32pmI completely agree with mat581. I am 62

October 4th, 2014 - 9:31pmthe term marmite means
you either love it or hate it
Dalekparadigm2
October 4th, 2014 - 9:31pmAlso hate to mention it but There will be kids pooping themselves over this. Likewise there will be 20 year olds and over doing the same.
The Silent Silent
October 4th, 2014 - 9:30pmI didn’t like it. MARMITE
the astronaut of death
October 4th, 2014 - 9:30pmwell back in 1963 it was made to be a children’s show
and I cant see those spiders would be for under 5 year olds
Dalekparadigm2
October 4th, 2014 - 9:30pmI’m 16 and that was just amazing. Let’s face it. More people like it than hate it
dalekdave
October 4th, 2014 - 9:29pmThat should have read SHOW not shoe
MarthaNoble
October 4th, 2014 - 9:29pmmarmite indeed, I hated it, doesn’t feel like doctor who anymore. does seem like people either loved or hated it.
mat581
October 4th, 2014 - 9:28pmDr Who was once an intelligent sci fi series. It has been completely dumbed down to a moronic level. This is the first dr who series where I will not collect any DVDs of.
The quality of stories and its natural arc has gone into kindergarten land. It is now a childrens story for the under five year olds.
dalekdave
October 4th, 2014 - 9:28pmI watched my last episode last week, been watching it since 1963. did not even bother switching on this week. May have missed a good episode but not been impressed by this series so far
the astronaut of death

October 4th, 2014 - 9:26pmLoved it! Absolutely fantastic!
Incidentally there is a distinct lack of Clara in the next time trailer… (although the synopsis does mention her)
