He won't let me down if he does another episode like that at all...I love that episode! A really good quality episode
I really, really didn't like the Snowmen - opposite end of the quality spectrum in my mind; none whatsoever.... Another ep like that would really start to make me lose faith in the Moff. I really hope the Snowmen was a one-off drop in quality...I'm looking forward to his S7b eps and the 50th though....I don't want him to let me down ....it's only happened twice before (Snowmen and Girl in the Fireplace being those eps) |

So... you like episodes where there is no actual threat, and hate those eps where the threat is prevalent throughout... duely noted.
Clara was completely devoid of anything interesting and Jenna didn't make her likeable at all for me; didn't care for Clara and rather hope she dies properly - same problem with Girl in the Fireplace - Sophia made Reinette unlikeable and dull. I was glad when she was dead in that episode... I'm not liking Jenna anyway from interviews and appearances she's done so far, there's just something about her I can't take to at all...so this new era of the show is going to be difficult for me to enjoy indeed. |

I think Clara has a spark about her, she is lively and cheeky, stands out from the crowd, and is determined that despite how little she has been given in life, no one is going to use that as an excuse to put her down.

Not all the time, but in this instance I do prefer it that way. There was a lot of heart, soul and warmth with TDTW&TW that TS simply didn't have. All the characters were believable and I actually cared for them. And anyone that says there wasn't a threat in TDTW&TW obviously wasn't paying a lot of attention as there clearly was one. Without Madge there to help save the Doctor, Lily and Cyril, they'd have all been burnt to death by the acid rain as the wooden King & Queen needed to escape. I think that's quite clearly the threat in the episode...possible death by acid rain....

Beautifully played by Jenna I have to say! |

Blimey, you're a cheerful old soul, aren't you...
![]() ....Clara and Jenna have just riled me so much though that I'd rather they'd be out of the show as soon as.I know its a minority opinion and people are entitled to theirs of course, but when one of the show's main two is completely unlikeable in my case, it really just doesn't bode well for viewing at all sadly...

It ain't the end of the show.

Random comment but I love how this quote sums up how bizarre this whole episode was... it still feels un-Who like now

How can you make a judgement about a character you've only seen... wait a minute, we haven't even seen the Modern Clara yet! :O

She probably is a very nice and kind person, but for whatever reason I can't see that. She's just really unlikeable... Quote:

There are some big spoilers over at GB atm. Can't post them just yet or I may cost someone their job. However, a media outlet has repported at least one of them, but as I don't know which one it is I will wait to find out before I post it here.
Something's coming this way though. |

I must say if they dare to change the fate of that particular character I will be less than impressed. Yes. Time can be rewritten 'but not those times'.

Exactly Shawn. Something's are sacred and shouldn't be messed with just for the sake of some timey wimey clever clogs action. If Moffat does do that it will be the final destruction of that characters worth as to be honest it is only the poignant beauty of the way it was told in reverse that has sustained the arc. I really hope he doesn't do a 'Rose returning' style move and totally ruin those episodes. I don't have too much faith he wont though sadly.
