Robert Downey Jr has expressed interest in being on the new Who series. Needs to happen. Just an hour of 13 and RDJ trying to out-sass each other.

RDJ better be prepared to work for a hell of a lot less than he usually does these days then.

Bit of an abrupt conclusion, to be sure. It might have fared better as a two-parter as a number of the developments seemed a little rushed. (I wish those would come back from time to time). Capaldi really had that Hartnell vibe going, especially echoing the times when the First Doctor started softening a little. The atmosphere was nicely built upon, for the most part. Hard to avoid with the settings I suppose, but some of it echoed Voyage of the Damned a bit much. Still, a mostly enjoyable episode with plenty of Jenna looking amazing for the Dads, and similarly inclined Moms. Her eyes seemed enormous in this one! The expanded scene of Foxes' Queen cover was worth a look, too.

Two mostly good weeks in a row, in my opinion. Let's hope things continue in that vein with Flatline!

Well, this one was good. Frank Skinner was good, the mains were good (even if the conclusion from last week felt very sudden at the beginning of the episode), Foxes cover of Queen was good. Seriously, this episode was very good.

So, next week, dimension-y stuff happens... Can we get to in the Forest of the Night? I'm looking forwards to that one, and this weeks looks... different. I don't know why...

Another mostly enjoyable episode. The SFX of the creatures were done well. It's a shame that most of the other digital shots in it suffered so horribly. (TARDIS shots excepted.) Clara was brilliant and, hands down, the MVP of the episode. Capaldi really shone in the material he had and the Ten-style speech was well-played. Pretty solid overall, until the end. Clara finally gets to be a character on her own and we jettison all of that out the window to shoehorn another mystery into her. Damn you Steven Moffat!

It's sad that considering how much he's been in, I recognized the crotchety old guy (I plan to sue for them using my personality without recompense ) from Batman '89 before anything else.

This series sure has gone fast, eh? Three episodes left.


Edit:

The Doctor moving the TARDIS thing-style was a great scene. I also enjoyed, for some odd reason, the baby Pandorica the TARDIS became (visually, I mean) in siege-mode. As the Doctor, Clara didn't waste time finding a companion, did she?

Absolutely loved that episode. Not sure if as much as last week's and definitely not as much as Robot of Sherwood but its definitely top 3 territory.

Great episode and I love what looks to be a the toy tar dies you can buy as a prop when it shrunk even more.

I didn't think it would happen, this episode being Clara-focused and all, but I really liked it. Maybe its because it feels like classic, basic Who rater than huge moral issue which only Clara can solve Who. The side characters were nice (or, at least, acted well. You can't really call what's his face a nice guy), the mini-TARDIS makes me glad I own the toy of that, because it's freaking adorable, and I'm glad it's not just me for who that Missy scene seemed tacked on. Plus, she's using an I-Pad. Now we know she's evil

Anyway, next week: Foresty stuff. With Danny. Yay!

Flatline might be the first, and only, Doctor Who episode that truly creeped me right out. But there was also so much to love. The TARDIS' Siege Mode looking like the Pandorica was a nice Easter Egg of sorts. Clara learning first hand being the Doctor isn't all sunshine and lollipops. And the Doctor seeing what she truly thinks of him. And Missy being deliciously wicked without doing much.

I love 13. He reminds me so much of 3. Which I really love because I hope Missy ends up being the Master, because 3's best episodes involved him.

Hope!

I knew it reminded me of something! But I hope Missy isn't the Master. It would, to me, just feel a bit...forced. Too un-manipulative. Although it would explain how he survives freaking everything.
