[Switchblade]

I suspect we've seen the last of Sentai, who will presumably drown in his own glee during the opening of this episode. Good night, sweet prince, and flights of Gosei Angels sing thee to thy rest...



I'm not sure about this episode. I didn't dislike it, but of all the first-part episodes this season it felt by far the most first-partiest. All of the others, even The Magician's Nephew, worked much better as full episodes. This one was mostly just a whole lot of set up for part two. I think it had at least one too many "oh my god, you moron, that is obviously a Zygon, get your head out of your ass!" moments, too.

That said, it wasn't a bad episode and had some really good moments. I think the Clara reveal was well done. It wasn't super obvious, but there were enough clues to be suspicious. Actually, the episode definitely did a good job of making you second-guess every damn character in it who wasn't the Doctor. That was pretty cool.

But yeah, I really want to see the next episode before I fully judge this two-parter.
