This is a pretty lively Whovian world.... Clara is the sunshine to the Doctor's sadness, and Coleman makes her shine. Read full review

Things progress with a superb pace in the premiere--something that many in season 8 failed to do--and set the tone for a far more successful set of episodes than those we saw in 2014. Read full review

This season has been excellent so far. Capaldi has really settled into the role and made it his own. As long as it continues to stay this strong, it may become my favorite season since Series 5.

This is one of the more consistent seasons of Doctor Who since the new series began. The pairings of two-parters seem to work well, and they play on both the Doctor's and Clara's strengths. The 12th is less of a showman than the 10th and 11th, which I feel makes his speeches and actions moreThis is one of the more consistent seasons of Doctor Who since the new series began. The pairings of two-parters seem to work well, and they play on both the Doctor's and Clara's strengths. The 12th is less of a showman than the 10th and 11th, which I feel makes his speeches and actions more meaningful. The storylines seem to matter more than usual. They're rooting Doctor Who in timeless truths that matter now. It's less about the mythology of a great character and more about the world around that character than Moffat has ever demonstrated.… Expand

All I can say the writing is still fabulous. The ideas are still marvelous, the acting is never boring and blended and there is always enough stuff to mindf*ck you until the episode end. All we need, forever, is some nice, pleasant faces to make everything shine and attach ourselves toAll I can say the writing is still fabulous.

Definitely better than last season. NIce to have the 2-parters back. Some of the single episodes in the last couple of seasons felt like too much in too little time. Some great episodes in this like the Daleks one and the one in the tower. However, the overall story story arc is a let down.Definitely better than last season. NIce to have the 2-parters back. Some of the single episodes in the last couple of seasons felt like too much in too little time. Some great episodes in this like the Daleks one and the one in the tower. However, the overall story story arc is a let down. Again, there are aspects of this season that feel like they're trying too hard to be more dark and serious.… Expand

I am finding it slow for me to accept Capaldi. I am getting there, and liking him better but Eccleston was my first Doctor - made me love the show. I loved Tenant and Smith. Capaldi isn't there yet. I don't like all the two parters. I am not happy at the moment with last night's show. I amI am finding it slow for me to accept Capaldi.

I am not happy at the moment with last night's show. I am happy though for anything that gets me further away from that Sleep No More episode - worst writing in the history of Doctor Who. Best comment I read about that disgusting episode was that it would be followed by a monster created from used kleenexes and snot. ew. So I am waiting to see how this episode will be completed next week - making this a three parter.… Expand
