Doctor Who

Enjoyed it but was expecting a big bad under the sheets near the start!

Such a good episode, how can there be such a massive contrast between episodes.

how the hell did Clara go back to galifrey when it's time locked? The doctor had removed the ability to travel back to his own timelines from an older series, so tonight's episode makes absolutely no sense.

The Doctor mentioned that he had completely disabled all the safety locks on the Tardis to get so far into the future

Well that was a lot better. I enjoyed that.

So did I. I wish Moffat could be more consistent with that kind of episode. More of the same for the rest of this series please.

Aye, pretty good that.

And once again, and yes I say it every week, but Jenna is tidy as.

Crowort · 13 Sep 2014 at 22:39

Moffat writes good episodes, he just doesn't seem very good at the overall arc of a series.

Sorry but i'm out.

I've given it 4 episodes, but just can't get into this new series. Nothing against Capaldi, but the writers haven't a clue what Dr Who should be about IMO.

Surely it isn't that easy to get somewhere/when that has been locked off?

And hasn't he been to the end of the universe before?

I like Capaldi, I do not like the storylines so far.

yea I like him and the character but it almost feels like watching that touch of frost parody that was on skyone ages ago.
dr is just constantly making jokes like one of the writers is trying to hard to be funny

PinkFloyd · 13 Sep 2014 at 23:51

Really good episode that, best in a long while imo. Capaldi is definitely growing on me!

I'm still not liking the fact that his assistant is always taking the lead and has far too strong a role compared to all previous series of the program dating back to the very start. They might as well call it Clara Who with the last 4 episodes.

I know what you mean. I don't mind the assistant being a moral compass now and then. In fact some of my favourite moments in the past have been when the assistant stood up to the doctor, but it was rare and important. I still enjoyed this episode much more than any other so far.

Enjoyed it and liked Capaldi in that one.

I really hope she doesn't go down the bossy boots know it all route that Amelia Pond traveled down. It's a dark path and there's no crawling out once you ponder there.

I'm no Who expert, but wasn't that the end of humanity, or the end of life? Where as this time is was literally the end of everything, only 1 planet left and nowhere to go?

Good fun.
Nice and creepy.
Final speech went on a bit too long for my liking but a thoroughly enjoyable episode !!

ci_newman · 14 Sep 2014 at 11:20

Surely this episode is building towards the overall story for Clara?

She has now seen her own future, which is a big no no for time travellers?

ICEx21 · 14 Sep 2014 at 11:32

Really enjoyed that episode but a few things didn't make sense for me, if there was nothing there except the Doctor's fear then what was in the bed under the covers when Clara was under the bed and who was knocking on the door and opening it?
I still don't enjoy Clara taking the lead as it feels like at times it's all about Clara and the Doctor is an after thought.
Trent lad you heathen! Amy for me was the best companion and was definitely a really good fit for Matt Smith, Clara apart from looking good just doesn't do it for me and I reckon this is building up for her exit.

I am no Who expert either so it may have been, but the plot outline of Utopia (on Wikipedia) says:

The Doctor sees Captain Jack Harkness racing towards the TARDIS and dematerialises. Jack grabs on to the outer shell, causing the TARDIS to fly to the end of the universe trying to shake him off.
