This episode had good moments and bad ones as far as I'm concerned.

It was too meta for my tastes, but I didn't hate it. I rather liked it.

The TARDIS interior temperature has been effected by the environment outside (and the interior temperature has effected the shell of the TARDIS). I'm thinking of Marco Polo and Castravalva. But I always find it jarring.

What were the bad moments?

I don't remember the temperature issue from Castrovalva. Haven't seen Marco Polo, alas...

[geordieboy56]

in Castrovalva when they're travelling back to the time of the big bang, the interior of the TARDIS gets warmer (the lipstick Tegan uses on the walls to find her way from the console room to the Zero room starts to run).

[persiflage_1]

Oh yes, I vaguely remember that...

[persiflage_1]

Yeah, been there, done that - thought Moffat was doing something different?

Can't wait to see this episode but in the States we're just up to the final in the Angel program.

"Who can beat the Doctor?" It depends. If a woman wants a man who supports her choices and her path in life, and is a loving, passionate, nuturing, husband, and life's partner, and , I think Rory, Mickey, Invisible Tom, Rhys, even Jack to a point has him beat.

But no one can out Doctor the Doctor, but I'm afraid, I'm too "American", (Or just old and cynical) to be overly impressed with what the Doctor represents. He's very Peter Pan. Neverland is nice, but not certain I want to live there.

Yeah right! You're a lying liar who lies!
I just laughed when I read this. Hope it doesn't offend but I could hear Cher in Moonstruck saying almost the same thing to her ex-fiancee. That was great.

Again, this looks like a good episode, especially the hint that Dark Side of the Doctor is hiding somewhere on TARDIS.

I don't understand why you're commenting on a reaction post for an episode you've yet to see - why are you spoilering yourself?

[delicateone]

I didn't dislike but I didn't love it as much as I wanted to. I'd been looking forward to this from the trails and thought it might be the one that made me turn a corner for this year - so far I've been a bit mousey-blah about it, nothing has grabbed me much (apart from River, but even she couldn't completely lift it) It was a great idea that just didn't seem to have been executed very well.

I'm such a moany old cow, aren't I? ;)

[persiflage_1]

Not at all - you're entitled to your opinion, and if it's not doing it for you, it's not doing it for you...

I dunno, I'm just glad to be over the whole bloody "Last of the Time Lords, woe is me, my pain is so great no one can ever understand me, blah, blah, blah..." that anything else seems fab!

[delicateone]

Oh, I kinda agree with that, Ten was much more fun when he was having a laugh (although I do admit, a dark, angsty Doc kind of worked for me)

I was crying out for Moff to take over, but now he has he's not really lived up to my expectations, something I really hate to say.

[persiflage_1]

I don't mind a dark Doctor, but I don't like an emo one. It just went on far too long...

[persiflage_1]

I presumed the Dream Lord was supposed to remind us of Zagreus.

I don't think Nye got the memo, that this ISN'T RTD Who, so we don't have to make an idiot out of the companion's boyfriend/fiance...

[londonesque]

I agree, I wish they'd leave it with the Rory vs The Doctor thing.
