My problem with Hide is the set up was far more interesting than the pay off, a pay off which was overly convoluted and forcing a water cooler moment in that way that guarantees to not get one.

Akhaten on the other hand was well paced, emotionally engaging but engaging on an entertainment level as well, it was big and epic, I really did feel like I was swept up in an adventure with the Doctor, even if it chose emotion over action (something Moffat should have done a LOT more) the Doctor really felt like he'd gone back to his roots, Clara was great this episode - although she was in Hide as well. I just loved it. Hide wasn't bad, but I felt like in the first half I was getting a much more interesting episode than what I ended up with.
