I wasn't really feeling this ep. I mean, the idea of a forest growing up overnight and protecting us, is a nice thought, albeit a rather boring one. I did think that it was interesting that Danny was all about saving the kids, while Clara was more about into being amazed. Are they grooming her to become more Doctor like? For what purpose?
And I liked that she sent him home. Gotta save the Doctor. And she wasn't going to go back with him, until the children ran off. But then Danny told her to go. I wonder if he is resigning himself to the fact that she can't let go of the Doctor. At least not yet. He will probably be a sticking point between them.
Other than that, I just didn't care about the forest stuff and I thought it was cheesy as hell, that they found that girl under a bush. And who is Missy? What was so surprising about whatever?
[spoiler for next time trailer]Now, that next time trailer? HOLY SHIT Moffat, what the fuck are you doing?!!!!! *runs around screaming* Eleven did accuse her of being a trap...but no! WTF?! *continues running and screaming*
