Started out meh, ended up being pretty good. But I'm not sure how it's all supposed to make sense in the end, or if it isn't meant to in the first place.

>>1612I feel like series 1 and 8 are the more consistent ones. People may be complaining about Moffat cowriting so many scripts in series 8 but I see it as a good thing. I hate how series 6 and 7 episodes seems to be all disconnected.

There should be a spoiler free general too.
No.1626
>>1625An entire spoiler free general would be a clusterfuck in terms of what did and didn't count as a spoiler and for which episode.
Humble suggestion: as soon as a new episode airs in the UK, we could have a thread for people who haven't watched it yet.

What did everyone think of the new companions? Would you like to see them in future episodes?
No.1630
>>1629I liked them but they shouldn't be in any future episodes, they were good one offs
No.1631
>>1630I get the feeling Moffat will bring them back in the finale. Kind of like "When a Good Man Goes to War"
No.1632
>>1629They wouldn't make full-fledged companions, but they were nice enough that I wouldn't be against them popping up again at some point. I mean, if they got the pirates back in for AGMGTW, anything's possible.

I think someone might have pointed it out earlier, but for some reason, this week they used the Classic Who (also RTD era) version of the opening titles sting sound instead of the new one. Felt a bit out of place.
No.1638
>>1637Oh yeah, I heard that. Been rewatching some 9 episodes lately though, so I barely noticed.
I guess that's part of them still messing around with the opening. They still haven't decided on a specific way to capitalise the title in the opening credits (for instance, last week was "Listen", today was "TIME HEIST", and it varied in the first three episodes too).

Moff on The Caretaker
No.1642
>>1641Yeah, this isn't much different from what I was expecting. Definitely gonna be some friction between the Doctor and Danny.
Also, more details:
Coal Hill School has a new caretaker. He hides a strange blue box in his cupboard and carries a sonic screwdriver instead of a broom. Clara is suitably mortified, but the Doctor has got bigger things to worry about – especially when Danny Pink starts to work out just what has been going on…
>CLARA: “This school is in danger.”>THE DOCTOR: “Lucky I’m here then.”>CLARA: “From you… You wouldn’t be here if there wasn’t an alien threat nearby. Your strategy for dealing with it involves endangering this school.”>THE DOCTOR: “You don’t know that.”>CLARA: “I don’t know anything – because you haven’t told me anything. Which means I wouldn’t approve. Which means you’re endangering this school.”
>Similarities to The Lodger with the Doctor trying to blend in, but he is far ruder and has no patience.>Writers Gareth Roberts and Moffat also mimicked The Lodger in terms of threat level, feeling Closing Time had too much of it.>First major appearance of recurring character Coal Hill pupil Courtney. The Doctor sees a kindred spirit in her in that she has no social niceties>The Doctor is very rude to Danny, especially when he learns of his past as a soldier. Roberts wondered if they were going too far with it, but they kept it in anyway. No.1643

It seems like a lot of complaints about this episode are down to failure to understand things that were reasoned fairly well in the episode but perhaps weren't shoved in your face enough. I've seen someone ask why the Teller's mate was locked up. I've seen someone ask why there was no 'explanation' of the teleporters that were disguised as atom shredders. I've seen someone say they basically didn't understand any of it at all. (None of these were on /who/ by the way.)
Basically it seems a rare case of an episode actually requiring your attention.
