I quite enjoyed it.

I must admit I'm finding this series a bit of a disappointment thus far.

Lets hope the second half of the series picks up.

As for peter capaldi, so far his mean looks grumpiness and sticking it to the man is refreshing from the past one liner slap stick Doctors. :arrgh!:

Jimbuna 09-15-14 08:08 AM

Yep, he's the only redeeming factor.

Rhodes 09-15-14 08:31 AM

Indeed! I like his approach to the Doctor, with the "question:....?" and etc.

About the episode, one of those timey-wimey stuff, but not as good as Blink. Now my pick is: the TARDIS travelled to Galiffrey?! How? :hmmm: It is suppose to be in another universe, etc...
Liked the telepathic interface appearing again in the series. Last I remember it was last used in the 3rd Doctor, but could be wrong. Steve will know for sure.

And what about the Time Lock? That was the script answer to travel to the past of the planet, I think.

What time lock?

Are yes when the War Doctor committed genocide the whole time war was locked. But we now know the Doctor sorry Doctors worked together to change what the War Doctor did. As we all know they succeeded in saving Galiffrey, result time lock gone.

Thanks to the script writers or the zygons or was it that tear in the fabric of time or maybe the.....

Just to add from "Blink" the Doctor said time dose not run in a straight line and is a wibbly wobbly all over the place. :har:

Has there ever been an episode as good as 'Blink'? I think there have been several that have come very, very close, but in my mind 'Blink' is arguably the best episode ever. :sunny:

Rhodes 09-15-14 11:22 AM

Well, one can argue that it's one of those Doctorless episodes...:O: but for understand time travel in Doctor Who, it is the best!

Sailor Steve 09-16-14 06:32 PM

Okay, this is where I distinguish myself as being exceptionally perceptive, or exceptionally dim, but decidely different. Pure and simple, I thought 'Listen' was brilliant! I had my bits of doubt and confusion, but by the end I loved it. One of the best ever? No, but definitely in the upper half. :sunny:

STEED 09-21-14 08:01 AM

The Bank Job did nothing for me, it did not feel like a Dr Who story too me. As for next weeks installment I hold no high hopes for that one.

It struck me as trying to cram too much into too little time. A little slower pace and a little more character development would have helped a lot.

Betonov 09-22-14 06:11 AM

I'm a little behind and I'm just watching The wedding or River Song.

The first 5min of the episode tell me that some chemicals are either contaminating or are being used in the writers hydroponics room.

Sailor Steve 09-22-14 08:45 AM

Just watched 'Time Heist' and while it was far from being the best episode ever by the end I was entertained. I thought it made good use of the "time travel itself as plot device" theme.

STEED 09-30-14 08:59 AM

Oh dear, now at the half way point and another episode that was boring. Sorry a Bart Simpson look a like killer robot tank did nothing for me, but there may be hope with the next one as we cross in to the second half of the series.

We hope.

Oberon 10-04-14 04:36 PM

So I made a thing...
