Wasn't as convinced by this episode it seemed to be missing something. Robin Hood didn't do it for me, though that may have something to do with just completing a 27 mile hike in ten hours.
I might rewatch it and give it another go.0 -
There were some pretty interesting episodes with Smith but he definitely was not my favorite. So far I like what I see of the new doctor.0

Episode two was a much better Dalek episode than other incarnations it had a very Genesis of the Daleks tone to it without feeling too forced.
Nice hat tip to Fantastic Voyage too. Or Inner Space. Or Futurama, whichever your poison.
I was convinced that Clara was going to get stuck in there making soufflés!!!
I'm a huge fan of Capaldi in his British series The Thick of It and am thrilled to see this iteration of The Doctor. He's like the anti-Smith, at least so far. I wasn't into Smith but I assume that's because I'm a girl and lalalalaTennantlalalala.
I definitely see his Doctor as a throwback to the old series, I haven't watched much but the first few at least were not so user-friendly as the new ones have been. So I like that it makes me feel more connected to the origins of the show.0 -
I'd love to see what Capaldi could do with a script by Neil Gaiman or Chris Chibnall.0

We discussed this episode and the conclusion was its not our favourite, but it still beats Robin Hood Prince of Thieves!!!0 -
I didn't understand the soldier thing... in the end she gave it to the doctor, so why did her boyfriend's clone have it?0

I have a secret wish to see Moffat step down and Gaiman become the lead writer.0 -
No, the are ALL great. You see the character jump out of each actor.0

Her boyfriend's "clone" wasn't a clone; it was implied that he was Clara and Dan's great-great-grandson. He had kept the family heirloom as a good luck charm, but he when he figured out that he was interacting with his great-great-grandmother, he handed it back to her.0 -

Yeah I got that part, what I don't understand is how he got it in the first place if Clara gave it to the young Doctor in the end.0 -

The soldier doesn't follow a linear timeline. We see it with Clara and young Dan during his childhood, it gets handed down generations in Dan's family, his great-great-grandson ends up with it, Clara meets up with her great-great-grandson at the end of time and acquires it, and then they all travel to the Doctor's past where Clara leaves it.0 -
I don't like change.
How do I love this show?0 -
I loved Eccleston, meh about Tennant and was okay with Smith.
I was sooo excited about Capaldi and how he was going to fit.
Capaldi... I am so unsure about how they have drawn his version of The Doctor. The horrificness of hammer pants on a 60 year old man aside, they seemed to have turned The Doctor into a pompous jerk. Even Hurt's Doctor, the "War Doctor" who was supposed to be angry, was more humane and likable than this one. So far, I am completely underwhelmed with what they have done. I am not even excited about waiting for the new episode each week. Kind of breaks my heart a little.0 -

In the runup to the new season, they talked a lot about how the Doctor was going to 'forget' how to deal with humans and have to re-learn it, so I expect this is the worst of it and is specifically intended to make us appreciate it more when he mellows.0 -

I hope this is the case. I WANT to like him. I thought the idea of an older doctor was appealing.0 -
I don't like change. I disliked Eccleston, liked Tennant and Smith and initially didn't like Capaldi, but he's growing on me!! :blushing:0

Capaldi will sneak up on you like that
I've said many times I just don't like the writing since Moffat took over, but I knew I liked Capaldi from The Hour (in one scene between him and Anna Chancellor, he turned suddenly from a foreboding crow into a passionate, even sexy man) and he's still wrestling some good moments out of these scripts, so I have hope that they'll find their stride with this doctor. 0 -

Holy cats. I hope someone at BBC has considered that!0 -
OK. Just LOVED Saturday's episode. I'm hooked:drinker: .0
