May 6, 20178 yr Wrong - both shet. Just plays like a bad UK scary movie, like Spirit Trap. What were you watching, Take Me Out on ITV :unsure:
May 6, 20178 yr By far and away the best episode yet very creepy and dark. I love new character's we was introduced too as well. What new characters? They all DIED like a cheap survival horror. Edited May 6, 20178 yr by Tippin Virginia
May 6, 20178 yr Author What were you watching, Take Me Out on ITV :unsure: !!! Seriously it was my favourite episode so far this series. Really likeable supporting cast, very eerie at times, and I loved the callback to Harriet Jones!
May 6, 20178 yr What were you watching, Take Me Out on ITV :unsure: No. Cheap survival horror on BBC1! Awwwwful. Axe! Get the axe for that bloated wood!!
May 6, 20178 yr I do think it was a little predictable though - once all of them had been eaten I knew they were gonna come back to life ;)
May 6, 20178 yr That was a brilliant episode with a wonderfully creepy performance from David Suchet.
May 6, 20178 yr What new characters? They all DIED like a cheap survival horror. Clearly you didn't watch it all...
May 6, 20178 yr I just finished. They came back like a survival horror with a cheesy Disney ending. Atrocious. Also, did no one notice the bad UK horror movie trope of one suddenly running away with one sentence, no explanation given, in panic, ignoring the rest and inevitably, um, dying? Wow.
May 6, 20178 yr I'm kinda with Michael here oops :ph34r: I really wasn't into it at all, too many horror movie cliches in the build up, the supporting cast were forgettable at best and while the last scene was powerful, it was marred by being too rushed an ending and explanation, why did the bugs just turn her into wood and eat everyone else? How did she come to control them? (and honestly I just didn't really find alien woodlice all that scary, was much more tense before they were revealed). The Vault scene was interesting though, surely can't be the Master now unless there's more to it than we think, plus the talk of regeneration... Next week does look good though, creepy space stories very rarely disappoint. Edited May 6, 20178 yr by Chez Wombat

May 6, 20178 yr Oh yes, like with that awful Danny Pink robot Disney season, Capaldi's best parts are always the couple minutes of story arc at the end. I mean it sounds like River ... but with how Matt Williams was shouting at it, maybe not. Maybe the Doctor has fallen in love with Missy?
May 6, 20178 yr I enjoyed it! Creepy most of the time. I wasn't a fan of all the supporting characters, a couple of them were really annoying so hopefully we won't be seeing them again.
May 6, 20178 yr that episode was by far the best of this season so far for me, exactly the kind of dr who i loveeee <3

May 7, 20178 yr I think this episode had potential but it was never fully realised and ended up being quite disappointing. It wasn't given enough time to build so wasn't actually as scary or creepy as advertised, and the pay-off happened very quickly and it didn't make any sense. I was left with so many questions. Who makes the creaking - the lice or the people in the house? If the house is full of people, why was no one else released? Why didn't the lice destroy the woman? This episode did that convenient Doctor Who thing of skirting over difficult questions for sake of plot, and it was all a bit :huh: The series so far has been different in tone to the others and nothing has been outstandingly good or bad, but it's overdue a very good episode. I think the Master is definitely in the vault. I can't see how it can be anything else.
May 7, 20178 yr Totally agree with Slick, this started out promising but then gradually dissolved away as things were rushed to a (not at all scary) conclusion. The whole plot was so unfeasible - why was the woman and child okay but everyone else is not? Why every 20 years? Why would a child see its mother turning to wood and instantly think that the creatures were keeping her alive? Exactly how do the deaths keep her alive anyway? Why did the recent inhabitants come back to life? And why didn't the others? Why would killing the mother and child mean that the house falls down in the first place? It was just really badly thought through, the whole thing was a very good idea for a scary setting that it felt like they had just shoehorned the villain and plot in. :/ (David Suchet was good though :wub: ) Edited May 7, 20178 yr by dandy*
