What Did You Think of Episode 9 Flatline?

October 20th, 2014 - 7:56pmPretty good – I could almost see Colin Baker’s Dr playing this episode perfectly.
But I’m sorry, Clara has gone beyond the point of being interesting. I just have to see her face now to be irritated. That aside, it is good to see the shrinking TARDIS again (1st time in Logopolis).
Missy? Hmmmmmm. Hope she is the Rani and not the Master (Could be the Valyard….), merely just to bring a new villain into the new series.

October 20th, 2014 - 4:54pmAnother brilliant episode. Why say more?

October 20th, 2014 - 3:52pmFinally a good episode but it was a long time coming, more like this one please.

2) Time Heist
3) Into the Dalek

Dalek The Supreme
October 20th, 2014 - 3:23pmMy dad and I both thought it looked like the Pandorica.
Dalek The Supreme
October 20th, 2014 - 3:22pmPossibly the best one of the series. The side character was alright, the villain was threatening, the characters were handled well, and the Doctor’s speech when he destroyed the “Boneless” was epic. Outside of a few nitpicks, I can’t find any faults with this episode.

October 20th, 2014 - 9:29am“Flatline” was really good! Although the episode was mainly centred around Clara, I loved it. I was dreading this episode because I thought there was going to be too much Clara, but I genuinely liked it. I cant wait to see what the connection will be between Missy and Clara, so heres hoping for a great plot twist. Overall, I rate “Flatline”a 9.5/10!

October 20th, 2014 - 3:24amWell fudge me! I really liked this episode. The best one, yet. But that’s not saying much, because I’ve been bashing every episode until now. Clara was actually enjoyable to watch in this one. It’s amazing how good something could be when the pieces come together. But here’s the thing: my expectations were zero. I was actually dreading watching yet another episode of this series. But I’m glad I’ve hung in there… I pray and hope they keep the ball rolling… More, please!
Gallifrey Will Rise Again
October 20th, 2014 - 12:55amI’ve just remembered something else.
Remember in listen could that toy solider be a clue too. It was a family air loom handed down generations presumably from clara and danny but at the end when Clara’s on gallifrey under the doctor’s bed in that barn she leaves it with him?
Gallifrey Will Rise Again
October 20th, 2014 - 12:44amI think missy is the tardis. And I think clara is the doctor somehow
“He can be very mean sometimes. Except to me
of course, because he loves me so much”
It’s a well known fact the doctor loves the tardis
“clara , my clara I have chosen well”
From the doctors wife:
Idris: did you ever wonder why I chose you all those years ago
The doctor: I chose you. You were unlocked
Idris:Of course I was. I wanted to see the universe, so I stole a timelord and ran away.
Remember it was clara who persuaded the first doctor to take the other tardis instead.
And clara was essentially the doctor in flatline.
As usual we’ll all be wrong but it’s always fun trying to figure it out.

October 19th, 2014 - 9:11pmI think they should rename the series “Dr Clara”. There has only been 1 episode in the series where the Dr seemed like the Dr

October 19th, 2014 - 9:05pmthe only 1 bad episode for me was the Robots of Sherwood.
Doctor Stu
October 19th, 2014 - 7:58pmOmg there actually is its the twelfth doctor, Clara and the TARDIS

October 19th, 2014 - 7:58pmI thought the Tardis in siege mode looked a lot like the Pandorica.
The Flying Shark
October 19th, 2014 - 7:15pmI thought this episode was great!
the astronaut of death
October 19th, 2014 - 5:21pmguyssss!!!!!!!!!!
in the forest of the night trailer there is an image of a London bus in the forest and on the bus there is an image of the 12th doctor and clara no joke!!!!!
the astronaut of death
October 19th, 2014 - 4:59pmfor me the only bad one has been time heist

October 19th, 2014 - 4:48pmI think the shrunk tardis worked really well,even though it was toy tardis like we all have
booboo
October 19th, 2014 - 4:22pmI dont think there has been one bad episode to be honest, this one wasn’t one of my favourites but should have been, probably because of all the wrong reasons
it was new concept with a terrifying monster, seemed like it was a feature film trying to burst out of its very confined filming area and time scale into something much grander
The special effects of the doctor in the shrunk Tardis were really good, normal things like that just dont look right but they were terrific i thought .
Good resolution as well
Inferno
October 19th, 2014 - 4:06pmBoth myself and my 11-year-old son (who was fidgeting with excitement) thought this was the best episode of series 8 so far. Some great comedy moments, (Adams Family) and some great spooky moments as the monsters became three dimensional. Clara was brilliant and some great effects, writing and acting. Now if all the episodes had been this good no-one would be complaining…or would they?
The ergon
October 19th, 2014 - 3:51pmA doctor lite episode? Set on a rundown estate,peole disappearing. Thought it might be another ‘Fear her’.I was wrong it surpassed expectations and gave us more light comic relief.The 12th doctor has really come into his own now. Thoroughly enjoyed like last weeks mummisode. So much for my second guessing krynoids for next weeks episode. That tiger in the forest something to do with the kipling poem?
DOCTOR WHO ONE
October 19th, 2014 - 2:35pmBest episode for me since ‘Into the Dalek’.
Harold Saxon
October 19th, 2014 - 1:18pmVery Good indeed,very pacy and lots going on,the dimensional thing was fun and i thought clara was great in the absence of the doctor,the appearance of missy at the end is intriguing,she i up to something big,seems very evil,hope she turns out to be the master!

The Moffat Paradox
October 19th, 2014 - 11:44amEasily for my money one of the best episodes of what has been the BEST series since the relaunch back in 2005.
We were promised a more darker classic like Who under Peter Capaldi with more actual hide behind the sofa moments and we’ve got it.I think it benefits from being on nearer the watershed although if it’s nearer kiddies bedtimes and clashing with X Factor I hope it is’nt impinging on the viewing figures.

Exterminator
October 19th, 2014 - 11:20amAnother good episode I thought. I loved the shrinking Tardis idea, it was very funny seeing the Dr’s face and hand poking out the little doors.
When the Dr gave Clara the big club hammer, it looked like she had a magic bag like Mary Poppins (who Missy dresses and looks like!)
It actually made me jump when the big 3d hand grabbed the bloke in the tunnel. I thought the community service supervisor character was going to turn out to be involved somehow, especially when the psychic paper didn’t work on him.
Would’ve liked a little more deaths and more horror though just to make it even more scary.
