For me, it was much better than the last week's episode, more emotional and concentrating on the relationships between characters. The return to the theme of loss and grief which is recurrent in this season worked out quite well. I guess that every person who lost a loved one can relate to the dilemma Graham faced in this episode. It is really thought-provoking and moving episode which makes you ask yourself the question what would you do in Graham's shoes if given the chance to reconnect with a lost loved one, even if it were only a copy of the person you loved. There are no easy answers to this.
I love a good writing. This episode was the definition of good writing.
As a norwegian, I can't say how happy I get when my favorite shows mentions Norway, but here, they're actually in Norway and I lost track of how many times they said "norwegian" and what not. Now I'm not hard to please I know haha, but I just get so happy. The plot was good too, scary, interesting, weird, small and big at the same time.
Solid ep. Dipped and dived all over with a rather large concept at its core. I love everything the Doctor stands for and how she goes about things. What a great character.
Super sweet moment at the end with Ryan calling Graham his grandad.
definitely the best episode of this season in my opinion!
Finally. A through and through good episode.
I just wish they hadn't pulled that conscious universe that wants to be part of our universe but can't concept out of thin air. It's to big a thing to only be used in this episode and never to be seen or mentioned again. But I'm pretty sure this is what will happen.
I feel like I'm watching random doctor who episodes out of order. On its own, it wasn't bad. Reminded me of some of the Amy episodes where there's a crack in the wall.
I do wish it hadn't been a frog with Grace's voice, though. Fans were trying to figure out who that kiss was for and nobody guessed a stupid frog. Part of me was hoping for Rose or Clara. Karen Gilan would have fit right into this episode, and Selfie and The Circle are both over.
This episode, especially the end, made me feel like I was eight years old again, watching Doctor Who on Lionheart on PBS in the mid-80s. Jodie's Doctor has the same kind of delightful learned naivete that Tom's did. I felt like I was watching a late night masterpiece... and the frog was great, because the Solitract, like a child, would be fascinated by anything someone told it or showed it . The only bone I have to pick is Hanne's sudden appreciation for Ryan at the end...it felt forced.
The first 75% of this episode played like a supernatural mystery and I had some guesses what was going on. My guesses were competely wrong. I don't mind being wrong. I did mind that the mystery turned out to be some piece of lore we had never heard of before. It's like the deus ex machina of mysteries...
The last part tried to be interesting through an emotional plot featuring carbon copies of characters that were dead. While it was interesting to see Grace again, the central dilemma fell flat, as the threat of reality collapsing turned the whole idea of staying in the alternate reality in a moot option.
The end featured some very silly Sci-fantasy and an empty promise of eternal friendship from the doctor that saved the day.
Yeah, this episode is not why I watch Doctor Who...
I’ve loved every episode this season, until now. This was their first big miss, utterly unoriginal and a snoozefest. Hope it’s a one and done and we can get back to greatness next week.
She blew a kiss to a frog! To the freakin' frog! Wtf... It was a perfect opportunity for River to show up or even Amy, Clara, Donna, but no, they went with a frog.... Totally disappointing moment... The rest of the episode was really great though and Jodie was brilliant.
I really, really liked it. Interesting sci-fi ideas, contained location, character stuff and good doctor stuff.
The blind girl was annoying.
The doctor's writing about assuming the dad was dead is cold.
The doctor was unusually brutal and cold towards the apparitions. But she was probably right. I think the apparitions didn't have the consciousness, but only part or all of their memories or rather false memories. The intracacies of their consciousness wasn't really explored. They were real until they were controlled by the solitract, and then it was assumed they weren't real, even though they kind of were real because they had all the persons memories.
I liked that inbetween world and that alien creature and the moths.
I loved the dialogue between the doctor and the solitract, that deeper and diplomatic dialogue. I wanted more. The ending felt rushed. I just wanted more exploration of it all.
I love Ryan called Graham grandad.
Dr.whooo??? morr like Dr.WHY
I was expecting a bad episode, since it's the same writer as last week. but it wasn't that bad. it was okay. some really weird choices here and there but I had fun watching it. the titel though, that just sucked. The blind girl mentions it once a few times in a row when she's sitting under the table being scared and that's it. it makes no sense

The whole talking frog took what could have being a great episode to another level of stupidity. I cannot decide yet if I like or not this episode.
