Doctor Who – What Did You Think of Hide?

What Did You Think of Hide?

Clara and the Doctor arrive at Caliburn House, a haunted mansion sat alone on a desolate moor.

Within its walls, a ghost-hunting professor and a gifted psychic are searching for the Witch of the Well. Her apparition appears throughout the history of the building, but is she really a ghost? And what is chasing her?

Now that the 4th episode of series 7b has aired in the UK what did you think?, was it the best episode ever or just average.

    I agree we at least need some two parters soon

    Phillip hinchliffe. Should have mentioned before,sorry. But yeah, they should go back to the two or even four parters. Think of the money they could save on sets and other guests, but more importantly taking more time could focus more on storyline and character development. Slow the pace a little so clara and the doctor could have the sort of conversations like the 3rd doctor and jo used to have. It shouldn,t all be dashing around.

    I know, but ive noticed it typically goes in acycle of a very bad episode to either an acceptable obe or a really good one, and cheer up ive heard that steven moffet might leave after the 50th anniversery

    I think it would be better if they made all stories two-parters from now on.

    Mark Gatiss wrote Victory of the Daleks. And you don’t explain why you don’t like any of those episodes except for Asylum of the Daleks, and that’s because of one plot twist? Before you construct an argument, give reasons backing your point of view. The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang and Asylum of the Daleks are some of my all-time favorites.

    Thanks, Cyberman2. I think this story had good intentions and was scary as heck…until the final plot twist, which made no sense. Also, the time traveller lady (Forgot her name) had nothing to do but get rescued. 6/10
    I haven’t seen Planet of the Ood in a while, but from what I remember, it was a great moral story, but I’d have to rewatch it before I made a final decision.

    Cold War is still my favourite from Series 7B, what do other people think?

    I never thought I’d say this after the complicatedness of Series 6………but I want Moffat to write every episode.

  • McGann is the Doctor

    Doctor Who is still good, but that episode was mostly just good in atmosphere, FX, filming and acting, the overall direction of the story wasn’t very good.

    Don’t get me wrong, twisty turny ploty-wottys are good, but the ones in that story were quite …eh, I dunno, they didn’t work ?

    It’s like trying to have an ice cream but lets put a flake on it, oh yay, a flake ! But we can only have a quarter of a flake that fell on the floor.

    If you can’t do a good plot twist, don’t do one atall ❗

    For the special effects and resources of the show, they really need a proper amazing good story. The kind of story that’s long and strong enough to be a novel, not a 45 minute romp ❗

    These 45 minute episodes don’t feel like proper stories, they feel like little bonus stories, they’re so short ! ❗

    i have seen some of them episodes i just was not sure who hinchliffe was

    Not every story, but most of them

    Every 2012 and 2013 episode so far has been half as long as a classic era story, with the exception of the Snowmen: in 1985 you had a 45 minute part each week, with atleast two for every story.

    Now we have one 45 minute story.

    Kinda sucks ! ❗

    this episode wasern’t a good episode but then again it wasern’t bad. there where some good parts like the continuaty references( although matt smith pronounces Metabelis wrong its prounounced met-a-bee-lis and the ending kinda rewind thefeel of thie episode the idea that the monster’s plot was to get back so that he can( lets just say reverse the polarity of the nutron flo) with that other monster yuck. The acting was good. I give this episode a 4/10 only because I felt this story went nowhere

    I think that every story should be a two parter

    some new alien menace. or for old times sake,the yeti and great intelligence. I,ve given the idea, now someone should let steven moffat or fraser hines know by e-mail,and someone decent to execute a decent storyline.

    moffat is a good writer when he writes one ep a series and has someone by his side to help him.

    yes blink was good but

    snowman= bad
    bells of john = ok

    beast = bad

    victory of the daleks = bad

    big bang = bad

    aot daleks= what a way to ruin 50 year BAD

    matt smith is a great actor i prefer tennant yes but doctor who needs change its what keeps the show fresh and exciting and steven moffat is great writer he wrote blink remember and that episode is superbly written although he has had some bad episodes but mainly good although im hoping after series 7 he stops splitting the series in half so we can just have a full series each time

  • dalek eternal

    April 24th, 2013 - 9:23am

    i like asylum of the daleks to its was a good episode although i dont think hide was anywhere near as good as blink but i did enjoy it i was actually hoping for it to be scarier than blink but it wasnt. also what do you guys think of planet of the ood i love the bit when the man gets into an ood i think that its gross but its brilliant

  • dalek eternal

    April 24th, 2013 - 9:20am

    well it wasnt terrible but it wasnt brilliant either i was hoping for a very scary episode perhaps one to rival blink but it didnt even come close although its not as bad as the rings of akhaten which in my opinion is the worst episode ive ever seen

    by the way
    the next doctor (if there is 1)he has to be ginger becausse the 9th doctor (christopher ecclson) 10th doctor(davit tennant) wanted to be ginger and so does matt smith so the 12th doctor has to be ginger
