It's a bit convoluted, no?
Love Capaldi though. There's a lot of Malcolm Tucker in there.

It would appear to be the young Doctor.

Well, next week's episode looks like fun.

I thought that was an excellent episode.
Clara really has improved this series.
Capaldi is wonderful.
This was a rare example where I was okay with Clara being the plot (or part of the plot). It sat easier with me than her being responsible for him picking the tardis all those years ago.
The atmosphere in the episode was spot on.

So many particulars. So many questions.
well that didn't make a great deal of sense

Jon Hurt tie in though so...something. I might have to watch it again to unpick things

Didn't seem to make too much sense to me , but seeing John Hurt was good and PC was great
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
"Set up, set up, set up, set up... bugger, has anyone seen the payoff?"
Seconded.

thats why it'd didn't make any sense. There was a brief over the shoulder glimpse that looked potato headed, later when the doc woke up he said 'sontarans intefering with the time stream'
but it doesn't tie together

I suppose the point is, there was nothing under the Doctor's bed, but that doesn't mean there wasn't something under Pink Jnr's bed. Mebbe 
That was his giant erection at the sight of a young woman in a sexy black dress suddenly appearing in his room!
Seriously, it's a kid's home; just walk right in and start talking to a young kid you'venever seen before.
I'm sure it will at the end of the series when Moffat pulls something clever out of his bag of magic.
Questions.
1. So that was Gallifrey then? Clara just manages to find Galifrey on the Tardis telepathic satnav and, despite all the shennanigans about it being timelocked, she gets there.
2. Why did she say 'River?', did she think the kid in the bed was River Song? Why?
3. Timey wimey.
4. See above.
It's just all show and no go without Moffat, but I don't think I have the energy anymore to feel disappointed.

Then they shoudln't meet these chaps!Amazing how they made a blanket so scary, great moment...my kids were genuinely screeching aloud at that point!

More like *fanny* la rouge!
I enjoyed it very much. Another great episode.
(Could have been cut a bit towards the end, but we're quibbling).

That's what I thought too...
It was the 90s, given recent news stories it was sadly all too believable. Did you notice how seedy the warden was?
I thought that was great, very atmospheric and beautifully shot and was even better for being the low-budget talkie episode with no on-screen monster. Reminded me of the Tennant episode Midnight a lot. The best Moffat-written episode since Blink?

Did she say River? I thought she said Rupert, followed by Orson. And then she realised it was the doctor.

Was he Orson because of all the wells?
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
First time he was introduced I thought his name was Awesome Pink 
But nothing is resolved, it just becomes yet another vehicle for this impossible girl stuff. Do we need to have anymore of this?
Why was the doctor going mental about invisble monsters in the first place - aboard a Tardis that, when it works, can change into anything to suit its surroundings, and after encountering beings that can make you forget they are there when you aren't looking at them. It's the same tired Moffat tropes.
Why is he now being written to be, not dark, but just obnoxious; he constantly belittles Clara. It's like an abusive relationship. hey, I break into kids homes now - kids homes that are deliberately protrayed to be scary and foreboding - and in the middle the night on a windswpt moor.
Why was there no explanation of that entity on the bed? Do we get an explanation in the end? Will I give a shit?
Speaking of Clara, why is she such a cow? She bullies Danny, another MOffat Milquetoast male character, into a date and then proceeds to take the piss out of his being a soldier. We've already been treated to see him cry in front of the class, obviously his past bothers him, yet when he objects to her attitude she gets stroppy and storms out - twice! Why are all the new female companions (I would exempt Martha from this) such mardy mares?
Is Danny going to be Rory mark 2? Henpecked male who turns out to be a hero?
What was all that shit in the time travel machine? What was outside? Why should we care when Moffat doesn't?
How does the Tardis get to Gallifrey?
All so we can have a little scene with Clara under the bed grabbing the doctor's ankles which, 2000 yeras later, prompts him to go mental and start worrying about creatures that have qualities he has already encountered in creatures before?
