I think Clara looked pretty darn cute in tonight's episode. Just sayin'.

I don't hate Clara, in fact, I actually like her this series. Didn't, so much, in the last one. I don't blame her for reacting the way she has been lately, this Doctor is a bit of a bastard. I love him. Also, Capaldi sneaked a wee Tom Baker impression in during an early scene of The Doctor talking to himself. Despite my non-hating of Clara, I am glad this episode was more Doctor/Capaldi heavy.

I actually enjoyed this one. The opening scenes between The Doctor and Clara gave me whiplash after last week, but I appreciated their dynamic this time around. Interesting set-up, decent enough mystery, good production value. And while I would by no means call this episode scientifically watertight, it didn't spit in my face and take my lunch money like Kill the Moon. Not a classic but a solid story. Best of series 8 so far, I think.

I just realized I have absolutely zero desire to catch-up/watch this season anymore. Not in the like, angry, fuck it sort of way, I just have absolutely no desire, it has fallen off the plate of things I care about.

Wow... this season has actually managed to legitimately kill Doctor Who for me. That's...kinda impressive really.

So this episode was set in Bristol yet the Tardis crossed over to some bizarre other world where *everyone* has an over the top stereotype accent and the city doesn't have a reputation for supporting graffiti artists.

I quite enjoyed it. All the puns hit perfectly, the gags were genuinely funny, and the vfx were top notch. The story wasn't all bad either

Whilst I did enjoy the Flatline it did feel like a retread of things we've seen before right down to the Doctor telling Clara "oh yeah at this part of the story you need to stand out as the leader" and ending it by questioning if the right people lived.

I didn't find it craptastic, but it sure as hell wasn't a story worth telling. Which is sad, as I had high hopes after the trailer. Oh well, not the first time, certainly not the last.

Looking forward to the finale, though.
