What Did You Think of Episode 9 Flatline?
Separated from the Doctor, Clara discovers a new menace from another dimension.

October 18th, 2014 - 9:44pmWhy was it called ‘Flatline’? The only link I could see was the TARDIS about to be FLATTENED on the train LINE? ❓
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
October 18th, 2014 - 9:34pmAlso, who knew that the villains were called the Boneless? Was that in the ep?
Also, why did the TARDIS turn silver??
the astronaut of death
October 18th, 2014 - 9:34pmI felt it was also a slight taster in what a female doctor would be like and I liked it
The Silent Silent
October 18th, 2014 - 9:31pmNext week, The Doctor Does School Trips
Trenzalore
October 18th, 2014 - 9:29pmI’m thinking she’s a new character. To back up my theory Moffat in the new DWM says ‘… boasts the brilliant Michele Gomez as a brand new villain’ and later saying something about that he can have credit for the new character. Of course he may be lying, but we’ll find out in a few weeks 😀

October 18th, 2014 - 9:29pmTalking to my Whovian friend, we’ve come to the Conclusion Missy is some reincarnation of River Song. I really, *really* don’t want it to be, but it’s entirely possible.
Dalek Supreme
October 18th, 2014 - 9:26pmNot spectacularly amazing, but pretty darn good.
Enjoyable human people, and Capaldi was awesome as always. Mind you, Coleman was actually really good in this episode, good job. Also, not too complicated, so easy to follow. And of course, the monsters in CGI looked really awesome too!
But, it felt like it lacked something to make it a bit more… Dr. Who-ish. Not too sure what, but overall really quite good.
8/10. Similar to ‘Listen’, with the mystery and all that, but actually done well. Not the horrific cannibalised mess that Listen was. Original ideas, and executed well too, and surprisingly funny too!
Nest week looks…meh. School trip, and the return of Danny Beige. Hooray…
the eternal doctor
October 18th, 2014 - 9:26pmsorry have not posted sooner laptop updating
my faviroute episode of the series
Gallifrey Will Rise Again
October 18th, 2014 - 9:25pmMark gatiss is nigh on guaranteed to be the next showrunner. However his first two episodes have been brilliant thus he deserves to be given an opportunity to write some episodes for series 9.
Owen
October 18th, 2014 - 9:24pmWell.. Think about it.. Missy means Mistress.. and thats the woman version of master.. 🙂
The Temporal Jelly Baby
October 18th, 2014 - 9:21pmOwen, what makes you think she’s the wife of the Master?
Trenzalore
October 18th, 2014 - 9:21pmFunnily enough I was thinking the same. There have been a lot of new writers this series so maybe he’s looking for potential new writers anyway…
Jammy2305
October 18th, 2014 - 9:20pmIt was a really good concept and those mosters looked really creepy. Not entirely sure how the Doctor defeated them though? And being a railwayman at heart, it was really weird seeing something from the 1960’s being passed off as modern… But that’s a personal gripe!
Generally it was an enjoyable episode!
Owen
October 18th, 2014 - 9:20pmRight my Predictions..: The woman in the shop chose to give clara the number for the doctor thats why shes with him and she said Clara my Clara.. and i think shes also the wife of the master.
StetsonDoctor
October 18th, 2014 - 9:20pmBooboo-I agree. For the first time this series, I felt let down and bored.
Gallifrey Will Rise Again
October 18th, 2014 - 9:18pmSimply superb really enjoyed it. Very intriguing missy cameo at the end.
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
October 18th, 2014 - 9:18pmI agree with Booboo
The Temporal Jelly Baby
October 18th, 2014 - 9:18pmHere’s a theory…Missy is the Doctor!!! Joking, obviously.
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
October 18th, 2014 - 9:18pmIt was good, good concept, good effects, BUT
Just like the last episode the writer gets the pacing wrong. The ending was too rushed, and the beginning was too slow. My mum and sister didn’t have a clue what was going on as it sped up too fast.
It had some great moments, but I wasn’t fond of the supports.
I think it could’ve been written a bit better because of the pace, but I did enjoy it.
Good monster, and well done Clara!
However, next week looks terrible. Aliens? Or just some trees?
Also Missy may be the woman in the shop…
booboo
October 18th, 2014 - 9:17pmnot one of my favourites
scary monsters, great idea, seemed a bit disjointed and rushed in places
Justyn
October 18th, 2014 - 9:17pmI thought about Missy being the woman in the shop.The Bells of Saint episode yes?
the astronaut of death
October 18th, 2014 - 9:17pmI seriously think the person who wrote this episode and mummy on the orient express has the potential to be the next showrunner.
Michael
October 18th, 2014 - 9:16pmWonderful episode and great acting all round.
The Temporal Jelly Baby
October 18th, 2014 - 9:16pmThe scene with the TARDIS on the railway line was absolutely hilarious! 😀
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
October 18th, 2014 - 9:15pmOr the woman in the shop
the astronaut of death
October 18th, 2014 - 9:14pmover all I really liked this episode I felt the story and characters were good and those monsters looked awesome and scary
I felt it was also a slight taster in what a female doctor would be like and I liked it
so over all a good episode 8/10
what did you think booboo?
Owen
October 18th, 2014 - 9:13pmClara my Clara I have chosen u well… What does it mean? I think she might be Danny or The Rani or The Master or The Female Doctor?
StetsonDoctor
October 18th, 2014 - 9:13pmYuk, sorry but tonight was strange and boring. Not my kind of thing at all…
Doctor Stu
October 18th, 2014 - 9:11pmIt was actually quite good but it sounds a bit morbid but I’d have liked it if the monsters had actually killed more people. It was good but it kind of felt like a Sarah Jane adventures episode
The Silent Silent
October 18th, 2014 - 9:11pmI thought that was quite good.
