In all seriousness though, I'm a bit mixed on how I feel about it. To start the addition of Courtney was completely unnecessary, and I hope that's her pretty much over and done with. Kids do not work in the TARDIS and they aren't needed to get kids to enjoy it either, so I don't know why they keep trying to shoehorn it in.

The first half of the episode was decent Who horror, but it was all a bit too by the books to be truly scary. You could pretty much tick off all the tropes as you went along.

The second half was a lot better, but I'm really beginning to lose steam with the whole "The Doctor isn't just dark, he's an asshole" thing. I get that it's probably building up to something and I found his assessment of the whole situation agreeable, but the way he went about it was just downright horrible. I'm really beginning to feel for Clara now because a moment doesn't seem to go by where he isn't breaking her down in some way, and this just took it to new lengths.

That said, I am looking forward to see how Capaldi goes in a non-Clara ep. Should be interesting.
