Not so much to say about this one. It's a similar deal to last week. I like Bill and 12's dynamic together but I'm impatient for the first somewhat good episode of the season.

I think it would have worked better if the audience hadn't been shown that at the start. As you say it was a bit of a drag waiting for Bill and the Doctor to catch up.

Aww :-)

Spoiler: none.

I never tried it and still don't want to but I'm looking forward to the rest of the episodes.

Whoever it was probably already set up a reddit thread about themselves.

It's about ethics in fake eBay auction reporting, AV Club! ;-)

Just reissue the sauce McDonalds. Don't get off on being withholding.

This is the kind of thing an evil genius says before inventing a drug that keeps you awake all the time but it also destroys your heart valves or something.

"Hey uh Steve, my friend lost a baby and seemed pretty upset about it. Shouldn't Amy and Rory be all like sad or something?"

I'm the Rani so the others can't be :-p

The latest Bugle is really good. The guests Sami Shah and Alice Fraser are very funny and I'm pretty sure Alice Fraser appeared on a live WTF ages and ages ago since her bio and the details Alice gives on WTF seem to match up. Also Andy rather spectacularly describes Sean Spicer as "the President's chosen conduit of

I love how 5 is comparatively jolly whereas Turlough and Tegan both come off as being in need of urgent psychological help.

I didn't care for a lot of Capaldi's first season (too many weak episodes/too much Clara and Danny) but "Mummy on the Orient Express" was a good episode and a nice milestone in Clara and 12's relationship.

The way Moffat has written some of the emotional arcs for the characters has wound me up (missing first child, what missing first child?) but S5 was pretty well-written and there have been some really strong episodes and clever concepts used. I'd put "Heaven Sent" up there with the show's best episodes from both the

For me the start of the snooker at the Crucible overshadowed it.

Along similar lines I love the ideas behind Castrovalva and Enlightenment from Five's era, even if the execution wasn't perfect.

I agree the episode was beutifully shot. The uni campus looked great. I thought the Heather story was a bit lazy though.

I like how that episode implicitly questions the gamble the Doctor takes every time he tries to reason with/engage with enemy creatures. They should do an episode like that at least once a season, it raises the stakes.

I watched it here with no adverts and it still dragged in the middle so I'm not sure this one is BBC America's fault….
