What Did You Think Episode 3 of Under The Lake ?
Now that the highly anticipated third episode of series 9 has been aired what did you think? Was it everything you had hoped for or not what you expected.
When an Underwater Base comes under attack, the Doctor and Clara must save the frightened crew and defeat an impossible threat. But what is behind these terrifying events? And can they really be haunted by ghosts?

October 10th, 2015 - 7:55pmI think that the doctor who franchise has been booming since the doctor changed his form but on a personal note I think that the Last doctor was my favourite but still peter calpadil is doing great

October 8th, 2015 - 3:33pmSorry. But as a long time whovian (+30 years), Season 9 as a whole is simply the worst series ever produced.
I tried (and even defended) Peter Capaldi’s Doctor when all around me hated him, but sorry he is literally the worst doctor in history.
I wont continue with Season 9. Purely because it is so dreadfully BAD that I cant bring myself too. In fact I would rather endure being given a root canal by a Cyberman followed by an enema from a Dalek.
Screwed up Doctor.. (trying too hard to replicate the great William Hartnell and not even coming close)
Screwed up the best Companion ever. (Sorry Sarah Jane).
Destroyed the opening sequence with some rediculous abomination (on par with 8th Doctor).
Now… Sonic Sunglasses, The Doctor riding on a Tank playing Heavy Metal Guitar into an arena in the 1100’s, A companion taking phone call from UNIT whilst teaching a high school class… (I wont even START on the Master/Doctor/Davros connection)
Sorry, if this is what they are thinking is good production, its time for the Doctor to take another 10 – 20 year break.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
October 8th, 2015 - 4:50pmWoah now just hang on there mate, series 9 has not even finished yet, and for me has not yet appeared to be the worst series ever of modern day Doctor Who which for me is series 3 and 8.
Your so jumping the gun !!.
Watch the rest of series 9 and then see how you feel. Honestly, you can’t judge a new series by just watching 3 out of 12 episodes, for all we know, the best is still yet to come 🙂

October 10th, 2015 - 7:00pmI agree with Doctor Who One, I think you’re jumping the gun a bit early. However it’s your opinion and nobody is stopping you.

October 6th, 2015 - 10:58pmI wonder why nobody mentioned to the writer and producers that ‘Lunn’ is actually a rude word in Punjabi?
Anyone who knows what it means would’ve been cracking up when the doctor was shouting “Lunn, Lunn, are you there? Come in Lunn!”

October 7th, 2015 - 8:58ammy little boy new the meaning through his mates at school and was in hysterics!! he had to explain to me what it meant!!
Exterminator
October 7th, 2015 - 10:52amSilly mistakes like this ruin the whole thing for me and to make it worse the doctor saying that sign language had been replaced with semaphore was unnecessary. I thought the Tardis translates every language anyway?
yognot
October 7th, 2015 - 4:26pmI think it only translates spoken and written languages. I could be wrong though.
Exterminator
October 7th, 2015 - 11:25pmIf it can translate symbols why not signs?

October 6th, 2015 - 8:50pmI have to admit that when I first watched this episode I didn’t really like it, however after having watched it a second time, it’s really grown on me!

October 6th, 2015 - 6:58pmI was really shocked by the end when we the doctor as a ghost I really hope to see what happens to him and how he died.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
October 6th, 2015 - 4:39pmRegarding the love / hate towards the Doctor’s new Sonic Sunglasses, I wouldn’t really worry about it so much, because obviously there will come a day, if not while Peter Capaldi is still the Doctor and Steven Moffat is still running the show, that the Doctor will some day go back to using the Sonic Screwdriver which may come in a totally brand new form.
The Sonic Screwdriver to be honest IS constantly overused as a get out of jail free card by the writers, and to be fair to the new Sonic Sunglasses, the Doctor has so far not used them so much in just episodes 2 and 3 of series 9 in which the Doctor has used them [I’m excluding ‘The Magician’s Apprentice’ because he wore them as everyday Sunglasses that time], so I don’t see why this is a massive problem with a lot of fan’s, and feel the online petition to get rid of them and have the Sonic Screwdriver back is going a little too far.
The Sonic Screwdriver will return some day . . . . trust me . . . . I’m a Whovian 🙂

The Moffat Paradox
October 5th, 2015 - 1:36pmIf there is any variation it’s probably by something like 5% and dont we think the quality of the episodes is far more important?

October 5th, 2015 - 1:41pmMeant to be in reply to complaint about opening credits being out of sync.
The Moffat Paradox
October 5th, 2015 - 1:35amThe scenes in which the ghosts were lured were also I thought reminiscent of scenes in Alien 3. In fact with the claustrophobia of an underwater base the whole thing was in parts almost Alien like except not in outer space.
KORSAIR
October 6th, 2015 - 9:01amAgree with you there.
Dalek the Supreme
October 4th, 2015 - 6:02pmThis was definitely a really good episode. The story was great and took time to build itself up. The supporting characters were good, and I love how they just accept that the acting commander is deaf, no questions asked, she’s just the commander. A really nice, subtle touch. The ghosts were creepy, and gave me one or two scares. The Doctor was on form, as was Clara, and the part with the cards was pretty funny. The cliffhanger at the end took me by surprise, but I am a little bemused that the whole “The Doctor’s going to die!” theme Steven Moffat’s run of the show has had going on since The Big Bang was brought up just a week after the last time it was used. It’s being taken up to ridiculous amounts of repetitiveness. At the very least, it looks like it will have more of an affect on the story than the Doctor’s Confession Dial in The Magician’s Apprentice and The Witch’s Familiar, which was completely inconsequential. Overall, a terrific episode, and I can’t wait for Before The Flood.

October 4th, 2015 - 4:33pmAnother very strong episode. Although I did feel at times that the story was going quite slow, almost as though the writer suddenly realised that there’s also a part two to this adventure. Nevertheless, great performances, good atmosphere, and a very interesting plot. Good cliffhanger as well. So, at the moment I still prefer the epic openeing Dalek/Davros/Missy two-parter. But this one shows huge promise. 8/10
Moog Who Craft!
October 4th, 2015 - 10:45amThe title sequence is out of sync again! FIX IT! But overall, a very good episode and I cant wait for PART 2! 😀

October 4th, 2015 - 11:12amHow do we know its out of sync? Maybe they just changed it?
Dalekparadigm2
October 4th, 2015 - 12:45pmBecause Episode 2 of S9 was in sync as was most of S8 but not episodes 1 or 3 of S9 or episodes 10 – 12 and Christmas of S8.

October 5th, 2015 - 12:50pmI dont see what you mean by its out of sync, seems pretty normal to me.
