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 really enjoyed this, thought the monster in the woods was very well done, very evil and disturbing looking. The forest looked very well done also, definitely creepy. I thought the scene where Clara confronted the Doctor about his blase attitude to humanity’s mortality and linear chronologically constrained existence was really done well also. These are the things normal people would ask. Of course though the ending was a let down, it always will be in these 1 episode stories due to the time constraints. 45 mins is just not enough to tell stories of these types properly , and in this era of de-compressed story telling it’s even more off putting to watch.

    Don’t forget the Eye Of Harmony as well! Love these little nods to the past; they’re not too complex to alienate new and casual viewers but they still keep obsessive old school fans like me happy! Nice!

    I have watched doctor who all my life and loved it. It has always been fantastic up Untill series 7 part 2. The doctor has changed and its not good. Intact all the characters are too emotional charged about relationships and it is ruining the whole point of doctor who. It is not supposed to be a romantically love story. I like the air of mistery that used to be there.
    Very disappointed but will keep watching in hope that it will improve 🙁

    Good story up to last 3 mins….ending ruined it.

    shame really. Not a satisfying ending. Why was the monster laughing in the woods if he was trying to get home. Why not just walk up to the doctor and be friendly instead of scaring him. It would have had a better chance of getting home. The doctor seemed to understand what was happening very quickly after bieng clueless not minutes before.
    Why didnt the tardis just land so they could get in at the end. Jumping on a rapid spinning moving object would be VERY dangerous. Big drop of quality from last weeks episode.

    It would be funny if instead of saying what did you think of hide, it should say did you hide? It would kinda funny

    with this one that has gone out the window, and therefore, i declare the trailer for it was misleading!

    This episode was good, but a lot more could have happened in the story. I will say I was scared a few times. But it seems with most episodes lately they just feel unfinished.

    It was Jenna’s first episode she filmed for the series, so the writer didn’t really know how to write her character and relationship with the doctor, so I think it is quite a good try to be honest, especially the scene with the umbrella!

    I think there is more to it, it was so glaringly obvious – twice

    Yes but Matt is supposed to be a big fan of the classics.

    I totally agree.

    well Sylvester got spirdon wrong in remembrance of the daleks, it was annoying but im sure during read through he was told how it was said but on location during the shoot it probably wasn’t even thought of, remember only production crew and directors are on location. Moffat and the writer arnt there to say “hang on that’s not how its said”, its recorded quickly and mistakes can happen. so i will let it pass as i know how easy this can happen from first hand experience.

    this was not a good ep. it could of been great as the woman and the man was great. but as soon as the dr and clara turned up it went down hill. i wanted a ghost story but this was not that it was not scary and it was boring

    3 out 10

    did anyone else hear the dr mention the eye of harmony in this episode

    All in all, a good episode. Not one of the best but still pretty good. Could do with Matt’s doctor not rushing around so much and running everywhere but that’s probably a bit “picky”. Not sure about Clara yet and the TARDIS not liking her- there’s obviously something to be revealed there.Chemistry between Matt and Jemma? Jury is out at the moment. Probably give Hide 6.5/10

    Who else noticed Clara talked about the doctors chin like in AOTD?

    Oh..yea… wow I am really ashamed of myself for forgetting a thing like that 🙁 I have never forgotten that before D: what’s happening to me?!?!?

    I loved The Rings of Akhaten, but I hated this episode. It had so much potential…….

  • TheDoctorGallifrey

    April 20th, 2013 - 10:08pm

    Sorry! I get it now, what with the TARDIS and his greatest fear involving the cloister bell.

    In what way, Sam. Just a feeling or is there an explanation?
