SPOILERS







- An odd one tonight

- Really good performances by Capaldi, Coleman, and Williams

- One of those episodes where the tone kept shifting.

- Worst bad guys ever. Seriously, they sucked. Even the fricking Slitheen were more threatening.

- Finally got an answer to the 'why did I choose this face thing'. A bit underwhelming, but expected.

- Some good comedic moments.

- Nothing really new, but the Doctor-Clara discussion of what happens after was really good.

- This season's 'Robot of Sherwood'

Finally watched it. A few spoilerish thoughts:













Pretty good episode. Obviously very reminiscent of robot of Sherwood, as expected. But the girl's storyline has potential.

Is she the hybrid Davros talked about? Certainly these are two warrior races. Maybe not, but if not then it's more foreshadowing of the coming hybrid threat.

I'm glad they put the issue of the doctor's face to rest. It was as good an explanation as any.

We got to see 10 again, which was great, and we got to see Donna again, which was... Sad... I'll never forgive 10 for what he did to her.

They really are laying the emotional groundwork on thick this season thus far for Clara's death/departure.

The girl did a great job and was very likeable. Basically everything the doctor could want in a companion. Which is why it will be so hard on the doctor if she turns out wrong. There certainly seemed to be a hint of menace in her eyes in the last scene. Him saving her is not long after the saving of boy Davros, who also seemed innocent at the time.
