Doctor Who - Discussion Thread III (no untagged future spoilers)

Did you find it in the end?

I actually enjoyed this week's episode, can't remember the last time that happened...although also annoyed about it being a double parter. Still...to enjoy a Who...well I might have fainted.


Although the sonic sunglasses still make me want to punch Moffat in the face.


Ha ha I don't think anyone would be willing to counter that bet

I see more of us enjoyed this weeks episode; out of curiosity, who else realised it wasn't Moffat writing this one?

not sure if it is new for this series or not but i do like that they seem to be going back to having more multiple episode stories again

As soon as it came up on screen after the intro I knew this episode had a chance to be good .

Loving the series so far, much more than last year. Don't see why people are getting so hung up on the sonic sunglasses? It's just a gimmick, exactly like the screwdriver. Just gives Capaldi a bit more personality.

It would be like changing the tardis to be a submarine or something. The Doctor, the tardis and the sonic screwdriver have been there from the start. To me it's almost disrespectful to origins of show.

The sonic screwdriver wasn't added until the end of Troughtons time as the doctor, didn't become a major thing until Pertwee and was phased out during Davidsons stint so it was only really around for the seventies in the original series.

It's no different to when they gave The Master a laser screwdriver which was more powerful than the sonic screwdriver because it used light (lolwut?). Not to mention he used it to age The Doctor with no reason in sight as to how he did it, but people don't care about this because Tennant was there.

The big thing for me is that I could easily see Capaldi's portrayal of The Doctor doing something like this, if he were a real person. He would definitely get some sonic sunglasses, we all know he would. He's weird and quirky and doesn't do what all the other Doctors have done. I love it .

It's just such a tiny detail, like Smith having a fez. I can't imagine getting hung up on such a small detail when the quality of the episodes has been fantastic.

So you spoiler something that's already happened in an episode but you decide you don't need to spoiler when you say

yeah, I was describing what had happened and didn't know if people would want to know it that in depth before seeing, even though it was a tiny clip with nothing to do with the story line so I put it in the spoilers, the other thing I said wasn't a spoiler so I didn't use the spoiler
