Re: Doctor Who General Discussion
 

Forgot it was on and caught it on catch up. Dire stuff and 40 minutes alone was wasted on him being confused. Can't recall having complained once about an episode until now. I liked the idea of capaldi but I'm having second thoughts, watch next weeks and give it a proper go given the regeneration nonsense is over.

I was expecting a huge packet of Chewits when I saw that dinosaur :D

Re: Doctor Who : Season 8
 

The dinosaur was there purely for impact. " a tyrannosaur in London" it gave little to the story.

But I like Capaldi, I think he will be great Doctor.

Matt Smithnwas not required.

I like the Sontaren, but not the other two

The ending intrigued me.

I do hope they keep it simple this time

Re: Doctor Who : Season 8
 

Good episode this week.

I assume the male teacher will be the new assistant.

This " heaven" thing will be the season arc.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 8
 

Well I guess it was ok, better than last weeks.

Not sure why you think the teacher will be the new assistant, but I suspect you are correct about the heaven thing.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 8
 

Yep....

I found it a bit tedious to watch due to the predictabilty of it all.

Please lets have something original instead of continually writing Eps around what is already languishing in the props cupboard.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 8
 

Yet again I totally enjoyed it.

Inside a Dalek was a new interesting idea imo.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 8
 

Just that he turned down that other woman because she was a soldier.

He's a soldier with a conscience, he can be introduced to the doctor by Clara.

I'm probably wrong but it all fits.

Just a question to the whophiles amongst us, what happened to the new technicolor daleks?

Re: Doctor Who : Season 8
 

I think the programme is pretending they don't exist anymore

Watch the Extra episode and they gloss right over them.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 8
 

The teletubby daleks were a disaster, and they have been steadily fading them further into the background until they have now, hooray, disappeared completely.

The daleks were a design classic and were almost unchanged from 1963 onwards. Quite why they thought they should suddenly pimp them was a mystery to me, but I'm glad they were big enough to realise they were wrong and on balance I'm glad they've faded them out rather than feeling obliged to create a convoluted on-screen reason.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 8
 

Not sure this season is really doing it for me. The supporting characters are totally unrealistic, the actors playing them just look like university students in costumes and totally unrealistic ones at that. Makes it difficult to suspend disbelief and buy in to the storylines.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 8
 

I thought tonight's was classic "who" from even before the reboot.

I think Capaldi is getting better, for me, much more watchable than Matt Smith.

I liked tonight's.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 8
 

That episode was like Douglas Adams era Tom Baker stuff. Our family loved it.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 8
 

Last night's was the first one I liked from this series.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 8
 

I'm trying, not very sucessfully as yet, to work up the enthusiasm to watch it. :(
