I thought that Capaldi translating the dinosaur was actually him talking about himself, and I liked the ambiguity at the end about whether the Doctor pushed him out or not. Howeer I think they overdid the whole 'we're a couple' thing, and it seems like the dinosaur in London had no real purpose in the end.

I think I like Capaldi better than Smith already (was never a big fan of his), but time will tell.

So guys..

Probably. But she did call him 'boyfriend' and not 'husband' so maybe not. There is a reasonable chance she's related to Tasha Lem from Time of the Doctor as well.

On the other hand, a very naive part of me is hoping Missy -> Mistress -> Master.

I don't think it is River/Tasha Lem. It might be the part of Clara that was left in the Doctor's "corpse" in "The Name of the Doctor". She looks a bit like like Mary Poppins (a nanny, like Clara), considers him her boyfriend, which the episode itself implies Clara does on some level. She apparently collects the people the doctor has killed in her paradise, which would make sense if she was with him throughout his whole life, like Clara was. There has been no negative consequences for Clara for her experience in "The Name of the Doctor" even though the episode implied that it would not be a healthy thing to do. That storyline thus far feels unresolved.

Might also be someone new entirely.

Knowing Moffat, we probably won't get a resolution until the season finale, and it's gonna be overly complicated and containing twenty minutes of sudden exposition that was never foreshadowed or anything at all.


On a brighter note, Capaldi is doing a kick-ass job, I think; might be preferable to Smith.

Definitely the best episode of the season. However, still too much focus on Clara and not enough on the Doctor. I know she's supposed to be the viewer's avatar, and she's way more interesting than she was last season, but we're not seeing enough of Capaldi for my tastes.

So, was the "monster" a thing or was it Clara all along? That part confuses me a bit.

Some bits seem to imply that a monster really exists (e.g., what was the thing in Danny's bedroom? It didn't act like a child.) but perhaps the Doctor's fear was started by Clara. Also, something had to have written "listen" at the very beginning.

I find the best episodes are ones where the doctor is in over his head. The season finale with the Ood and that demon. The library episode that introduced river song. The weeping angels. Too many Smith episodes put him up as a god heads above all else in the universe.

Also I like how this new guy portrays the doctor. Hope they have more of him and less of Clara. And they can lose all the stupid sexual tension they put in for no reason.

there was probably some kind of monster thing going on, i mean the sheets thing and then whatever made them emergency jump from that planet.


However, there allready was an episode about the end of time with a planet of the last human survivors fleeing from the darkness and it was different, as i recall.



also, i want more mistyrious episodes about some dark secret that dont end up with darlek or cyborgs.
Like the one about the black hole.

I agree that 'listen' has been the best so far, could be up there with 'blink' or 'silence in the library' in terms of overall quality. 'Time heist' was also quite good but I found the end to be underwhelming, partially because of editing, since I had the impression something was still going on while the doctor was flying everybody back to their places, expecting a bigger reveal that never came.

Overall this season looks good, and Capaldi is doing fine work.

Did he really set up the whole heist just to one up the date clara was about to go on? Or did I miss something~


Also capaldi is doing much better then I expected, and I even expected him to be good ^^

Really made the role his own.

It seems like an information paradox to me. He went on the Heist because the Director, who he met on the heist, contacted him later because of something he said on the heist. She regretted leaving the Tellers behind and thus contracted the Doctor to start the rescue mission, and it was on this mission of course that he gave her the idea to contact him later.

Pretty sure Kill the Moon was the dumbest thing I've seen on TV this year (and I watched the Blacklist). Apart from that, the season has been quite ok, pretty satisfied with it when compared to last season.
