November 7th, 2015 - 10:47pmThat scene actually showcased everyone’s (mainly peter’s) acting abilities so well.

November 7th, 2015 - 10:46pmEveryone who thought that monologue was one of the top Doctor Who scenes ever say “aye”.

November 7th, 2015 - 10:28pmTake a bow Mr Capaldi! Fantastic, the speech in the archive was amazing

November 7th, 2015 - 10:26pm“London…what a dump!”….great episode and this latest series is by far and away the best in a long time. Peter’s impassioned speech and his acting in the Black Archive was beautiful and he’s blossomed into a superb incarnation of The Doctor….

November 7th, 2015 - 9:53pmThis episode needed to do so much. A wrap up of last weeks which was detailed and not plot holy, a wrap up of the 50th anniversary events without wrecking it and give us info on Osgood that we needed from last week. Second parts are always tricky and this was…flawless. Perfect. 10/10 would recommend. Seriously good and wonderfully well written. When I saw Moffatt’s name on the episode I thought “oh god here we go” but he has surpassed himself this time. Congratulations, you’ve made one happy Whovian AT LEAST! I bet there are more. Peter Capaldi’s dialogue in the Black Archive was fantastic and gripping and beautifully acted. What a great episode. NOW what does my list look like?
1. The Zygon Inversion
2. Under the Lake
3. Before the Flood
4. The Zygon Invasion
5. The Magician’s Apprentice
6. The Witch’s Familiar
7. The Woman Who Lived
8. The Girl Who Died
Next week, Mark Gatiss does something scary. I like what I see…

The super whovian
November 7th, 2015 - 9:46pmI think the doctors speech is one of the best scenes in series 9 so far

November 7th, 2015 - 9:37pmHere’s another great one:
“When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who’s going to die!!
You don’t know whose children are going to scream and burn, how many hearts will be broken, how many lives shattered!
How much blood will spill before everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning; SIT DOWN AND TALK!”

November 7th, 2015 - 9:18pmSo much better than last weeks loved the reference to Harry and the most famous line in revenge of the cybermen “HARRY SULLIVAN IS AN IMBECILE!!!”
The Temporal Jelly Baby
November 7th, 2015 - 9:16pmAgreed. I posted a transcript of his awesome speech above. That was his best scene so far in my opinion.
the astronaut of death
November 7th, 2015 - 9:14pmbest episode of the series
The Temporal Jelly Baby
November 7th, 2015 - 9:09pmThis is not a war!
I fought in a bigger war than you will ever know.
I did worse things than you could ever imagine.
When I close my eyes…I hear more screams than anyone could ever be able to count.
And you know what you do with all that pain? Shall I tell you where you put it?
You hold it tight! Until it burns your hand.
And you say this: No-one else will ever have to live like this, no-one else will have to feel this pain, not on my watch!

November 7th, 2015 - 9:03pmBest episode of the series. So far!……
the eternal doctor
November 7th, 2015 - 8:57pm3 Osgood’s. soon there will be an episode called the Osgood invasion. I think Osgood will be the next companion. the doctors American voice was cool, and was I the only one who thought when Osgood had the sonic glasses on, she looked blind (probably because I not used to it). loved the head from girl who died.
I thought last weeks was better, but it was really good. it comes 6th place so far, however even though it is low it was really good.
I knew Kate Stewart wasn’t a zygon we never saw her die.
7/10

The Temporal Jelly Baby
November 7th, 2015 - 8:55pmSorry, I mean Basil, not the Doctor.
The Temporal Jelly Baby
November 7th, 2015 - 8:53pmThat was exceptionally good. Second best episode this series so far in my opinion. 9/10. The Doctor’s speech near the end was absolutely fantastic.

November 7th, 2015 - 8:49pmThe best yet in my opinion. One of the best two parters ever. One of the best stories ever. Right up there with Genesis of the Daleks.
