I noticed this too, and actually I'm getting annoyed at it. The plot about a spaceship being disguised as something else has been used too many times now :erm: Happened in Deep Breath as well :sigh:


The TARDIS is a spaceship disguised as something else.
I really like Peter Capaldi, so much so that he makes up for any other...flaws :tongue:

Ah, but in this instance it's okay, because each episode of this series so far has had a link to an earlier episode - Deep Breath = Girl in the Fireplace, Into The Dalek = Dalek, Robots of Sherwood = Fires of Pompeii or The Lodger
I'm interested to see whether this linking keeps going.

This episode rebuilding parts so spaceship could fly with complicated grid like patterns and monsters that incinerate you :yep:

And as Moffat has said http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2013-09-30/doctor-who-steven-moffat-has-an-explanation-for-peter-capaldis-earlier-appearances I imagine that could be an arch for this season.

Ooh, so maybe that was this episode's throwback episode :holmes:
Last night's episode was a Robin Hood Prince of Thieves tribute with a Die Hard bit thrown in, the only thing missing was Alan Rickman, lol.
I like Capaldi, he has a dark humour that I appreciate.

That doesn't mean it can keep being used as a plot resolution? It's unimaginative and tedious.

No, I agree. It was just something that occurred to me when I read your post.

I really enjoyed it, quite funny and this Doctor reminds me a bit of Jon Pertwee, a bit of an action man (Jon Pertwee is my favourite)

BUT, I thought the end was rubbish


I like you :h: Nothing beats a bit of early Unit era.

Good spot!
I really enjoyed that. I hated the trailer and was all set for a filler episode to sit through while waiting for the good stuff later - but actually I thought they did a really good job of it. They didn't take it seriously, which was definitely the right thing to do. Good old camp humour.

That is a logical explanation - you can use the forge to break the handcuffs.
