Hilarious episode. It was a delight to watch and rewatch. Lots of self-aware humor to the series as a whole. They intentionally made it over the top campy to make you side with the Doctor and his suspicions. I loved it.

Agreed. But in an otherwise silly and campy episode I didn't care much.

Nice attack on the sonic (kind of ruined by the scene before it at the contest)

I agree, I laughed out loud at Clara's line about the screwdriver. I too thought the use at the contest was ridiculous on first viewing, but on rewatch realized he didn't make just some arrow or a target explode, but either his homing device or an explosive he had placed in he homing arrow.

Above average ep, but worst of the season so far.

I have liked them all so it is tough to say. If you don't like it then:

(Not upset just thought this was a funny and wholly unexpected moment.)
