| I liked it as a good finish to the story but when concepts like this are introduced I feel they should be more grand.If I can predict the Doctor being in the chamber from last week then to me it loses a bit of its luster. And the explanation at the end had me a bit confused.
So the Doctor created the Ghost Doctor Hologram after he saw his ghost from the future there by getting the idea to create the ghost Doctor hologram using his sonicsunglasses that were in the stasis chamber with him for 100 years?
I really liked the intro with him explaining a theory and then having the plot play it out.Also at the end when he explains how things happend.Kind of like a University professor with Clara as the student.
Loved the guitar intro as well.And can't get enough of the Tardis interior!
The only thing I didn't care for again were the sonicsunglasses that now can interface with the computers? Ok whatever mate. And also the fact that UNIT has to "fix" the ghosts when all he had to do was take them in the Tardis to the Moon or something.
I give the episode a 8.
But now I gotta get a darn guitar from somewhere!😡

The Chicken came before the egg once you take into account the creation of the Universe from it's beginning and belief of the Creator making the chickens first to create the first eggs to perpetuate the species infinitely or to extinction. If you don't believe in a Creator and chickens just happened to come into being at random well enjoy ignorance Drops mic............... |

| I enjoyed this episode. Same theme as the Davros 2 parter, changing history or not. But overall pretty good. When we get season 9 action figures, will the Doc(s) have sunglasses? I also want a guitar/amp set. Anyone else notice the amp said 'magpie' on it? Cool stuff. |

| Good ending. Not sure if Doctor Who always wants to be taking on their own internal logic of how time travel cause and effect works. It's been played a little... loose in the past.
Hoping for no Timelords, time paradox, or plugging sonic sunglasses into things next week. |

I imagine some middle-aged curmudgeon in the 70's said something similar. "Yea, it was ok... a big shrimp that lived in peoples brains seems a bit daft though, and a laser shooting dog... 7/10. But the stupid oversized scarf and the jelly-baby shtick HAVE TO GO!! " |

| Good episode! Did NOT like the breaking of the fourth wall and the Doctor playing the theme tune... Ruins the suspension of disbelief and makes it feel like the Doctor is aware that he's fiction and that he's in front of a TV audience. I know it's happened before but... Urgh... It's a nice idea and I do like the guitar, but it just doesn't rest well with me. Ah well. Besides that though, great story and a nice round off to last week! I enjoyed the whole wibbly wobbly paradox stuff. I liked the scene where the Doctor and Bennett turn up half an hour before and see themselves from the past. Definitely harkened back to 'Father's Day', which was a great feeling when watching, and still a great concept to play on, too. I also really loved the silent scenes with Cass when she's being followed in the base corridor. That was fantastically done and was a great way to step into her boots. My heartbeat did actually quicken in that scene - it's not often that Doctor Who actually gets the blood pumping these days - and I actually felt concerned for her. Really well fleshed out character, I thought; all of the side characters in this story were well formed and rounded, and definitely felt believable. Besides the breaking of the fourth wall, my only other complaint would be that the Fisher King was pretty disappointing as a villain. All he did was stomp around slowly and unethusiastically, say some cheesy cliché evil villain lines, look like a Predator rip off, and then drown. This was the same problem as in 'The Caretaker', the villain merely served as a plot device as opposed to... Well... A villain. If only the villain had been as fleshed out as our guest characters, that would have been great. All in all, a good stand-alone romp, I thought! Definitely keep them coming! 4/5 |
