A spaceship salvage team drags the TARDIS on board, sending its systems into meltdown.
As the Doctor marshals the motley salvage crew outside, he realises Clara is still trapped within his malfunctioning ship, pursued by a dangerous group of ossified monsters. He has just 30 minutes to find Clara and save his TARDIS before it self-destructs.
It’s an okay episode, but a little disappointingly underwhelming for a story with such a deliciously tantalising title. It’s a fairly straightforward action adventure.

Sorry cant use spoiler tags on my iPod
I hope they're polite about it, this time. :mad:
» Someone is not what they seem.
» Clara has a Raiders of the Lost Ark vibe going on.
» Something from 'The Eleventh Hour' makes an appearance.
» Something from 'A Good Man Goes To War' makes an appearance.
» Nice to see that room has been updated.
» The TARDIS has a library. And a rather interesting book.
» Oh, they kept his/hers/their return quiet.
» We see something mentioned in 'Hide'.
» Doctor Who meets Silent Hill.
» I wonder if Omega and Rassilon are taking notes...
Any ideas about the ones in bold, guys?
"Doctor Who meets Silent Hill." Oooh wow...
Look at my post for the person returning
Oh yeah, I forgot that was this episode. Although would a reused bit of audio really count as a return?
It could just be him of course, but there's also this hint:
"Something returns, unexpectedly and slightly mystifyingly, as if it”s been skulking in the TARDIS waiting patiently for a moment to be of use again. We suspect this may have larger ramifications, but it’s odd to see the Doctor regard it so casually…"
Yay! Can't wait!
The eye of harmony then
But appearances can be deceiving, and it could turn out to be an all-time favourite. Who knows? I think this is heavily dependent on the direction they go with it all... for me, I enjoy the mystery of not knowing what lies beyond the console room. The Doctor's Wife was a lovely treat that didn't spoil that idea of mine at all, but I'm worried here that the opposite may yet happen.

so SFX think it will piss off the fans and DWO think it will be a fan pleaser....go figure...:p
Argument time! :D
Great
What did DWO give hide because I remember someone had given it a 6/10 and I thought it was fantastic.
yes that was them, lol! And they really liked Rings ( 8/10) . So who knows.
It looks like #2 is the title of that "interesting" book
After watching Rings a second time I really like it, it's not great but I find it enjoyable. But I hope Journey is great because everything I've seen and heard seems brilliant. Obviously I don't know if I can trust DWO's opinion.
Clara? The cast for this ep is tiny so it can only be her or one of those random salvage guys.
Wonder if that will be the Doctors crib, which has his name in Gallifreyen on it...... hence Clara saying she'd seen the Doctor's name....
Yeah it's clear from the trailers and clips that they're really stressed with each other in this.
But the two tiny clips we have from the next ep (Crimson Horror) show them more comfortable with each other than ever so I think this'll include a resolution of sorts between them at least even if he doesn't really know who she is still.
The only alternative I can think of is that the name is discovered by one of the salvage crew. One of the teasers is 'someone isn't who they seem' - could they possibly be working for the Great Intelligence and be feeding him info? He's GOT to turn up at some point, right?!
I would say though that the line sounds far more like it comes from Clara.
If that's the case - how the hell can she read Gallifreyan? She's not a Time Lord of any sort...Even River couldn't read it, could she?
Well, this should be fun!
But just because she can't doesn't understand the language or what it says, doesn't mean she can't say to the Doctor that she'd seen his name, if he or someone explains that's what the symbols are on his crib..... and it was in Good Man Goes to War and only thing I can think of from that episode that would be in one of the rooms of the TARDIS.....
