What did You Think of Series 10 Episode 5 Oxygen ?
Now that the fifth episode of series 10 has been aired what did you think? Was it everything you had hoped for or not what you expected.
The Doctor, Bill and Nardole answer a distress call in deep space, and find themselves trapped on board space station Chasm Forge. All but four of the crew have been murdered – and the dead are still walking!
In a future where oxygen is sold by the breath, and space suits are valued more highly than their occupants, the TARDIS crew battle for survival against the darkest evil of all…

The Temporal Jelly Baby
May 13th, 2017 - 8:41pmJoint best with Thin Ice in my opinion. I can’t separate them.

May 13th, 2017 - 8:41pmTell you what, that was well intense!! It was another very good episode with a tasty season twist at the end! Roll on next week and the return of Missy!
The Master
May 13th, 2017 - 8:41pmNot bad but not the best of this season so far but we will see!
The Temporal Jelly Baby
May 13th, 2017 - 8:40pmOxygen is a tricky episode to give a score to for me as there were some really great scenes and other bits which were kind of forgettable.
Anyway, so far in series 10…
The Pilot: 8/10
Smile: 6.5/10
Thin Ice: 8/10
Knock Knock: 7/10
Oxygen: 7.5/10
Average score so far: 7.4/10

May 13th, 2017 - 8:37pmI still think The Pilot was the best episode of the series so far…

May 13th, 2017 - 8:32pmApart from the zombie like scene at the start, the Doctor saving Bill and the trailer, this was a bit weaker than previous, it was an ok story, but felt a tad bit mediocre. And the way Nardole ranted and raved at the Doctor was like watching a child moan at their parents after not getting their own way. And thats coming from someone who likes Nardole.
The Pilot 4/10.
Smile 8/10.
Thin Ice 7/10.
Knock Knock 6/10.
Oxygen 5.5/10.

I agree. Series 10 is quickly becoming one of my favourite series so far.
My scores:
‘The Pilot’ – 6/10
‘Smile’ – 8/10
‘Thin Ice’ – 8/10
‘Knock Knock’ – 8/10
‘Oxygen’ – 9/10

Will probably change depending on how good the rest of the episodes are, for me it’s becoming increasingly enjoyable with each episode!

May 13th, 2017 - 8:28pmWell, what makes perfect sense to one person can be confusing and stupid to another. That’s just the way it works (although I personally felt the episode made sense, I understand others won’t necessarily agree with me there).

May 13th, 2017 - 8:28pmOI Proper bloke the Doctor saved everyone whilst he was blind. Its the best episode for ages.
Mark Belsom
May 13th, 2017 - 8:26pmQuite enjoyed the episode and who says what’s behind the doors is dangerous ?

May 13th, 2017 - 8:25pm‘Peter Capaldi could have been the best doctor yet, but sadly because of the shocking writing of his time on the show, he has been let down.’
Honestly, before Series 10, I might have agreed with you there. Series 8 was disappointing and Series 9 was a mess, yet, to me, Series 10 seems set to be one of the best series in ages. Feel free to disagree, that’s just my take on things. 🙂

May 13th, 2017 - 8:23pmI don’t get what there is to be confused about?
Dr RevWho
May 13th, 2017 - 8:22pmI respectfully disagree with you. I don’t really see 12 as being cowardly, but rather bored of having to stay in one place for so long – it’s the whole reason he left Gallifrey in the first place. And, if he’s such a coward, why would he be willing to risk his life for Bill’s sake when she’s exposed to the vacuum or, in regards to the vault, enforce such a responsibility upon himself in the first place?
Not trying to change your mind, but hopefully I’ve given you something to think about also.

May 13th, 2017 - 8:21pmDue to you spelling “disgrace” wrong I’m going to assume that you’re a child who doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Also you’re just blurting out old news that doesn’t even apply to this episode, I can’t even comprehend what I’ve just read.

May 13th, 2017 - 8:21pmI don’t understand what was confusing about it, I thought it explained what was happening and why very simply.

May 13th, 2017 - 8:15pmAnother one of my arguably thought provoking reviews…
Jamie Mathison is a discrace, and the Doctor isn’t the character I thought he was. This isn’t the moody Tenth doctor we all have a soft spot for. Nor the proud first doctor, or the caring fifth doctor. Ladies and gentlemen, the twelfth doctor is a COWARD.
If what is in the vault is so dangerous, I can’t believe it, because the doctor doesn’t seem to care anymore.
Peter Capaldi could have been the best doctor yet, but sadly because of the shocking writing of his time on the show, he has been let down. Big finish, it’s up to you guys now. Redeem 12!!!
This is my opinion remember. Believe what you want.
1/10.
Dr RevWho
May 13th, 2017 - 8:15pmWhile I personally found ‘The Girl Who Died’ to be pretty forgettable, I’ve loved all of his other stories. ‘Mummy on the Orient Express’ is still my favourite 12th Doctor story, but ‘Flatline’ and ‘Oxygen’ are pretty stiff competition.

May 13th, 2017 - 8:13pmWorst episode this season I’ve never been so confused about Doctor Who before only good parts was the first and last scenes
Dr RevWho
May 13th, 2017 - 8:12pmBest episode of the series so far, and best episode overall since ‘Face the Raven’. I hope Jamie Mathieson stays on when Chris Chibnall takes over the show, because he’s written my favourite stories for the Twelfth Doctor so far. ‘Mummy on the Orient Express’ is still my favourite – I think actually seeing the countdown helped to ramp up the tension in that one – but ‘Oxygen’ was pretty close, and, after that cliffhanger, I’m looking forward to next week’s episode (even if Missy is in it).
My score for ‘Oxygen’ – 9/10.
Obsie
May 13th, 2017 - 8:12pmMuch better and with more of a creepy feeling about it, a nice nod to the opening of Star Trek at the beginning using it’s introductory words. If the remaining of the stories keep this up and possibly improve, the show will truly be ready for a reboot when Chris Chibnall takes over, maybe it’s already started here.
The Surgeon
May 13th, 2017 - 8:10pmThere were a few bits I found confusing and a bit questionable, but still very good. Matt Lucas excellent. Supporting cast very good. Was grateful for Mathieson avoiding exposition while still providing background to the setting. Still incredible that all his episodes have been brilliant. And that is a hell of a cliffhanger.

May 13th, 2017 - 8:06pmAmazing.
And that ending…
The Temporal Jelly Baby
May 13th, 2017 - 8:03pmPretty good with some truly excellent scenes. I honestly think that opening sequence is one of the best ever opening sequences in Doctor Who.
