daggy_333 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Best episode so far for me, really enjoyed it. Other than the first episode i think the Capaldi era has had a really poor start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Best episode so far for me, really enjoyed it. Other than the first episode i think the Capaldi era has had a really poor start.i get the impression that Capaldi wants to do things differently but is being restricted or made to do it in a way he is not comfortable with. I just feel that he is not living up to expectations right now and I can't blame him for that.

jon_c Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Though in the weakest episode, I think Capaldi's best moment so far was when he made the soldier pointing a gun at him say please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 With the proviso that it is essentially a mid evening kidults sci fi programe, I've thought the Capaldi stuff has been really good. Last night, smaller kids were scared without ever actually seeing a monster, there were a couple of good gags such as the disappearing mug of coffee and the Doctor continues to be less one dimensional than during the slapstick Matt Smith era. Four yes votes from this house. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Thought last nights was ok, but obviously building up for Clara to leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I tried watching it last night, had no **** clue what was going on. How the hell do kids follow this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 That episode was fantastic. I loved it. Clara actually did something for once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Best episode there's been for years. Capaldi's doctor is quite a change but as someone who was getting bored of the run-away-from-goofy-monster-oh-look-we-saved-the-day-whilst-shouting-alot, I'm quite glad. One theory on the garden woman.. Missy, short for mistress.. female version of The Master? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I enjoyed the latest episode, I agree with a lot of the attitudes that were expressed towards fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 am I right in thinking that this season it's easier for a casual observer to 'dip' into. I admit to being bored halfway through the first episode and not watched since, but I am still eager to enjoy a Capaldi episode. Will I miss much by watch the most recent one?

If you are saying that you did not watch the previous episodes, then yes you'll be fine just watching last weekend's. Although Clara has a new love interest who was introduced. I like the new guy, but I don't like how he is a love interest because I just don't care about that nonsense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Much easier. There's no ongoing story (apart from a strange woman in a garden). The new doctor takes a bit of getting used to, but in terms of general story, there's nothing to actually catch up on, no clues to something bigger, no recurring theme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eames Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Capaldi is great but the writers need a kick up the arse. If you wanted Malcom Tucker put it on post 9pm and let his do it properly....to write lines like "Stupidy stupid" for THAT actor given the ghost of Tucker is stalking the character is unforgivable. It really jarred with me and took me out of what was up to that point a really good episode and series. A poor riff on "Fuckity bye" from TTOI. That aside Capaldi is the best Dr since Tom Baker and the things I would do to Jenna Coleman are....well....you know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On saying that the episode yesterday wasn't too bad I dont religiously watch but I some times tune in to pass the time. His script & mannerisms seemed so forced, they would fit the previous two doctors. Need to adapt to Capaldi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 I love Clara but the more this series brings in the Danny character the more it's obvious she'll be leaving soon Too me this was very much a Matt Smith episode just a little more darker doctor.

Czechlad Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 This whole series has been quite boring so far barring one episode. Clara's new love interest is just so bad and he is making me dislike Clara. Capaldi is a good doctor but he is being held back with average episodes and a companion that does not really suit his doctor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Last week's episode really showed the difference in companions. Clara is so dependent on the doctor to do anything and then whines about it at the end. Amy and Rory were their own characters. Rory became the badass roman and Amy developed into a companion that isn't babied by the doctor. When the doctor jumped into the pit and he told Clara to stay there, I immediately told my girlfriend that if that were Amy, she would jump in and we'd get an action scene with some shenanigans but instead Clara just walked back. Next week's episode seems like it will be without Clara and I am kind of excited for it. Capaldi's doctor is actually fantastic, but he is being held back with lousy writing and a weak companion. Clara is supposed to be gone after this season so I hope they cast someone proper for the companions job. Capaldi's doctor needs a strong character beside him in my opinion. Natalie Dormer for the companion!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
