Tonight's was the weakest so far, very confusing and really nothing happened...although I'm sure we'll be revisiting all this again before long. Again we're back to too much companion not enough Doctor & monsters. Oh for a companion that gets on the Tardis and stays put, following the Doctor through adventures without all this drama.
I'm also not too fond of this pinpoint accuracy in landing the Tardis in bedrooms and kitchens either. Better when it just popped up randomly.
The clip for next week looks interesting. Did you catch Abslom Daak on the tv screen? Oh, man, that would be awesome if he showed up!Comment

It wasn't as well constructed as previous episodes, but as a character driven episode (rather than a monster one) I really liked it. Fascinating aspects to the Doctor's character and again a good episode for Clara.Mortui Vivos Docent

I loved this episode. I thought it was very suspenseful. Well-written, well-directed and edited.
A return to form for Moffat, with a perfect sequel to Blink, if you ask me.
This was a very unusual story, not the standard "start-middle-ending". It didn't provide a lot of answers, and didn't really have to, IMO. This was all about nightmares, fears and whatever makes us afraid in the night, and nightmares aren't logical. The scene with the thing on the bed was quite scary...
These last three episode have been excellent, and Capaldi is doing fantastic!.

That's okay. I just had the same thing happen. Except the headline was for a fourth doctor. I'm like "Nooooo......not Tom Baker! "Comment

Decent episode. Quite an atmospheric piece. Still loving Capaldi in the role. His portrayal of the Doctor has a wonderfully sinister edge to it. Truly great!
And yes, the glimpse of Abslom Daak on the viewscreen during the preview of next week's episode was awesome.PUNY HUMANS!Comment

Thought it was a solid story and well acted out.

I enjoy a departure episode like this, not to spoil but it was refreshing to not have the simple "Doctor stops the monster" thing. Plenty of nice little chills and once again, Capaldi shines.
Enjoyed the little call back to the Day of the Doctor as well.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

But this time, I have to make an exception. Mainly because it is a "nightmare" concept (where logic is rarely found), and second because the atmosphere in this story was so well done, the writing so strong, you just have to go along for the ride. This story just says "don't think, look under the bed and be afraid!"
It's all about basic fear.
And yes, I'd like to know what was under the bedspread, what made it tick, was there really something there?
But I just "enjoyed" the rollercoaster without thinking much about the nuts and bolts of it all....

I thought it was great.

It's nice to know the Doctor DIDN'T find out the answer. Capaldi's slightly creepy and mysterious Doctor is really working for me. My son nearly flipped when he saw the War Doctor.
It was atmospheric and unsettling without ever showing anything scary...and then reassuring at the end. Just a very well-done, and poetic episode.
