Capaldi, Capaldi, & more Capaldi

[Godzilla]

I agree with what you guys said. Not bad, just ok. Good character stuff, I liked the monster design, not much else to it.

Next week looks like it should guest star Sigourny Weaver.

You know what would have been funny? When The Doctor introduced himself as John Smith and said you can call him The Doctor,someone should have quipped."Dr. Smith? Like the guy in Lost In Space?"

I love those pictures. I wish it was more than a set visit.

[Earth 2 Chris]

^Yeah, I'd like to see a callback to some of the old companions, even though I'm not overly familiar with some of them.

It was a good character episode but it seems the purpose of this season is to deconstruct the friendship The Doctor & Clara had. Without devulging spoilers there were lines in the latest episode which show pretty clearly that a wedge is being driven between the two and I think her exit is being set up. Clara was built up really well last season as the "impossible girl" and this season she seems to be a punching bag. In some episodes she gets treated almost as badly as Peri was by the 6th Doctor.

I'm enjoying some of these stories but not Capaldi's Doctor as much. I don't want to slam Capaldi but I think it was just too soon for him to take over. I think his introduction was rushed and maybe they could've tried something new to phase him into the show. We got that brief cameo in the anniversary and maybe they could've done something different like having him and Matt cross-over for a couple of stories. Perhaps something more elaborate than the 4th - 5th Doctor thing during Logopolis.

Tonight's episode was okay. Don't like the kid much... she's annoying.
Clara's departure is definitely being set up now.
Still liking Capaldi's brusque, somewhat abrasive Doctor. Works really well, IMO.

[johnnystorm]

The episode tonight was ok, the kid really annoying and hopefully we are done with her. ..then came that total dressing down moment... I sense the end is near?
But then I was thinking about all the negative ideas Ol' Pinky has been planting in Clara's head. Talking about how demanding and cruel the Doctor is. Maybe it's not all petty jealous sniping at a rival for Clara's time...maybe he's not a companion wannabe... What if he's a villain working to break up the band?

[Godzilla]

I liked it (with the exception of the lame retcon of the "new moon". Nice twist of the Doctor saving the day and leaving it up to us to make a decision. The last 10 minutes were excellent with the Doc and Clara.

[johnnystorm]

Yeah, about the new moon... How does something lay an egg BIGGER than itself? Was it some sort of Tardis egg?
Oh, and how does a British Girl become President of the United States? Do we change the Constitution in the next 50 years?
Some poor writing and editing there!

[Mikey]

IMO, Worst ending ever in the history of Doctor Who - beating Love and Monsters

[dee T.]

"Robots in Sherwood" had to be the most fun one to watch IMO. I don't think I have ever laughed that much watching Doctor Who. I have a friend who is recording this season of this new doctor, and so far that episode and the first episode has been the best so far.

[clemso]

So in Doctor Who now, the Moon being a giant egg is canon?
