In the latest episode it seems like they didn't even try to make the resolution to the problem believable even IN universe..
I liked the concept but there where several parts I was just cringing through.
And the first two were so good... Oh well, haven't seen this one yet.
I feel there is more to this story but yeah it seemed a bit out of place
Is it just me or did the last episode feel like half an episode? (or did I fall asleep)
I think you fell asleep, I rather enjoyed it as well as the ending.
It has a very interesting timeline if you pay attention .
Without saying too much I caught that bit for sure and was left with more questions than answers hahah
Having seen the Robin Hood episode, I didn't find myself cringing. Of course, I considered this the throwaway episode that's kinda done on the cheap to help save the yearly budget.
The next episode after Robin Hood, the one named Listen, was tense and scary for the first half to three quarters, then clearly a set up for stories further along in the season.
Into The Dalek, episode 2 of season 8 here, I still think is the best one.
All that said, I'm perfectly happy with Capaldi's doctor.
Since it is early in the season I think being left with questions is preferable to golden arrows.
I think the doctor was on to something but followed the wrong path. At least that is what I got out of it.
I'm really liking this new episode woo!

Guess I better watch it... I was in the office from about 6am till 6pm today working on the first of our data center moves.
Eccccch! That sounds like it sux
So far this is probably my favorite episode so far
I can't believe we're on episode 6 already! They'll be pausing for a couple of months right away, if they're doing it like other seasons :(

Ya there are only14 episodes a season... :(
Actually the episode count bounces around. Season 7 and 6 were 13 episodes each, I think, and spilt into two sub-seasons.
I just checked on wikipedia, and season 8 looks like it'll be one continuous weekly broadcast.
Also, if that's a fighting robot that can blow up an entire planet, why not get a few and set them on the daleks?
So far, Into The Dalek was the best episode of the season, and I thought Time Heist was a close second. Now if only they'd stop being so secretive about The Promised Land.

Personally I really like almost any episode that depends on an out of order time trick so the time Heist was the best one so far for the new doctor... I don't care if they even create paradoxes I just love them for the surprise the first time you watch and things start fitting together. This is also another reason I find "Blink" the best episode of the (2005) doctor who.
I liked this episode a lot because it really added character to the relationship between them all, otherwise yeah my other favourite has been the heist
So did you guys notice the memory-draining worms at the start of Time Heist? I don't think they even mentioned it, they just expected you as a fan to remember the episode where Strax was trying to remove one from under the carriage and ended up thinking he'd been run over...
They made a big deal about mentioning it if I recall it was a key plot point :-)

...having fun avoiding spoilers (so is my daughter) so plan on watching the remaining Clara eps this week so we can finally get caught up with the rest of the Whoniverse :)
See you all back in this thread in a couple weeks...
