That actress was so incredible. I'm seriously, like, beside myself with admiration. And David's acting was so good. Just... stellar, absolutely stellar. Even Donna's absence made not only plot-story sense, but dramatic-story sense; she couldn't be there and still have the story work.

Donna absolutely could not be there - he had to be completely on his own. A companion would have been jumping to his defense.

My ponderance is: How many takes did they go through to get the talking in unison and how many were because they started laughing?

What I do know is that they did do some runs of 15-minute takes. In many ways, it was stage acting with a camera just happening to be in the room.

Such an amazing episode. I need to see it again not on an iPod screen because it was just...wow.

Lesley Sharpe is such a spectacular actress. I saw her on stage a few weeks ago in a play called "Harper Regan" where she was in every scene and went through this whole emotional rollercoaster from beginning to end...it was amazing. One of the best performances I saw this semester.

God, this show.

I'm honestly in awe of her. Absolutely amazing.

The Doctor was so scared. I think that's what got to me the most. And it looked like he was fighting so hard against whatever was possessing him. It was really sad.

I think Russell Davies managed to be scarier than Moffat this series.

He definitely did. As much as I enjoyed the two-parter, this was a better episode by far. It's right up there with Blink for me, but they're both such different episodes, I really can't put one over the other.

My one word reaction? "Spooky"

I wanted to slap every one of those people. Freaking hate the mob mentality. But it is so damn human.

My second reaction? "Wow"
