The Doctor shooting the general because...why? Him willing to destroy reality for Clara is over the top to the point of nonsense. The weird wild west setup didn't work. I can't believe how bad this is considering no one turned in a terrible performance or the fact that Gatiss or Chibnall wasn't involved. Even them bringing back the matrix from back in the 4th Doctor's era was screwed up as they tried to make it spooky, and utterly failed. <br /><br />There are worse episodes out there, both in classic and new, but this is awful, and felt like a massive cop-out after the far superior Face the Raven and Heaven Sent.Morellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08852528242739450099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-26899294137118532016-11-04T02:18:57.676-04:002016-11-04T02:18:57.676-04:00I loved the comedy bit where he was confronted and...I loved the comedy bit where he was confronted and responded with walking back inside.

In my mind it did not cheapen her death in "Face the Raven", and I loved her absolute refusal to let the Doctor erase her memory. Clara is going to be a hard act to follow for the next companion. Personally I could do without seeing any further adventures of Clara and Me, just letting them roam the galaxy in my imagination is good enough.<br />rebecca_s921https://www.blogger.com/profile/03815688599706633935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-24198866876801961932015-12-06T17:50:34.412-05:002015-12-06T17:50:34.412-05:00Like most of the rest of this season, I liked it, ...Like most of the rest of this season, I liked it, without loving it. Though it did make me cry - but then, so does everything! I like Clara and Ashildur's American Diner TARDIS, and that final shot of the two zipping across each other into space.<br /><br />Having Maisie Williams say "summer can't last forever" was distracting to me though - part of my brain could almost believe it had actually heard the words "and winter is coming' in her next line, and I immediately wanted to go watch Game of Thrones instead!Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-89542397473200810382015-12-06T16:37:07.064-05:002015-12-06T16:37:07.064-05:00The 10th Doctor actually brandished a gun on Rassi...The 10th Doctor actually brandished a gun on Rassilon and the Master During The End of Time part 2. I believe that because the 12th Doctor was in an even darker place than 10, and knowing that the Security Chief's time was almost up anyway, I wasn't too shocked when the Doctor shot him down. Since this was the 2nd time this season that Clara "died", I wasn't even surprised that is was cheat once again. While I'm a little disappointed at what I see as a cheapening of Clara's death in Face the Raven, I'm glad that she may show up again in a later episode.KennyTeeologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07619747109442823201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-31221048870537912162015-12-06T16:30:34.512-05:002015-12-06T16:30:34.512-05:00I'm glad you liked it!

She gets a TARDIS! She gets to have lifetimes of adventures!<br /><br />The last 10 minutes made me feel like the ending of The Big Bang. It's going to be awhile, but I can't wait for this show to come back. Bring on series 10.TDS-Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16181548475958033714noreply@blogger.com
