Mummy on the Orient Express


Good job!

Finally an episode with enough action, just enough creepy/spooky AND murder mystery!

There was also a bit of humor when the psychic paper back fires......... after all, it makes you see what you think you are going to see.

The Doctor was a hero without mentioning his own eyebrows = FINALLY.

Now we still do not know what reason Clara will have for leaving the show.... but I like surprises.

I will watch it again just to be sure, but I think there was little to be disappointed with this time.

Kill the Moon


If I had more hair I would be pulling it out!

What is going on with the writers? They can do good action and drama scenes, and I know they can build a good story, unless these are new guys,[ written by Peter Harness, and directed by Paul Wilmshurst] and it does seem like it.

Since when does the Doctor run off and leave his companions to just give it their best shot? He really destroyed Clara's trust, and certainly isn't earning it back. Was this the writer's idea for how to let Clara leave the show? Certainly she can leave just to remain with her boyfriend, he seems really great compared to the Doctor, who seems to have lost all sense of how to judge people's ages....... can't tell a 15 year old from a 30 something adult? He thinks Clara looks the same age as him when Dan remarks about ; "He's your Dad".

I have never been so discouraged about any Doctor Who series previous to this. Maybe they are trying to retire the show. That will really make me mad. All of the previous years have been better. And I am not blaming Peter Capaldi, he is a fine actor, it's the writers. Maybe they can be replaced.

Spoiler here; I do not buy the moon being an egg.Never. The writers sure laid one though. No pun, just the truth.
