There's a really beautiful quote about existence in that episode:
"Hey, do you mind if I tell you a story? One you might not have heard. All the elements in your body were forged many, many millions of years ago in the heart of a far away star that exploded and died. That explosion scattered those elements across the desolations of deep space. After so, so many millions of years these elements came together to form new stars and new planets. And on and on it went. The elements came together and burst apart forming shoes and ships and sealing wax and cabbages and kings. Until, eventually, they came together to make you. You are unique in the universe. There is only one Merry Galel and there will never be another. Getting rid of that existence isn't a sacrifice, it is a waste!"
Also the Doctor's speech is just brilliant. I wasn't expecting to like that episode as much as I liked.

One of the best Doctor monologues
The long song
The Doctor wearing Amy’s glasses made me sob

6.5/10
Fair Enough
Not the best episode
I enjoyed the beginning
The Doctor tracing over
Clara's timeline to find
out why she's impossible.
I really enjoyed Clara in the
Market place and how she
had The Doctors back
Throughout, this was a
prove your worth episode
for the new Companion,
and Clara absolutely did
that and then some.
it was cool that the
"Summer Falls" book
was written by
"Amilia Williams"
(Pond wrote a book).
I love what effect
Clara has had on
The Doctor, he's got
his Mojo back and his
excitement and his
Groove he's got back
Is registering off the charts.

I remember not liking this episode much, and i didn't remember much of it. But now i really like it, i think it's quite powerful.

The doctor was so damn good this episode. He was powerful! He really showed his power when he got through the door with the sonic screwdriver, and held off those psychic enemies with it. The screwdriver carried this episode, it was invaluable.

I liked it. I liked the singing, i liked the girl, i liked the alarm clock creature, then the old god parasite creature (but i was hoping for something more lovecraftian with the mention of old god). I liked they defeated it with their memories, although it does stretch believability a bit, they could have improved the execution of those scenes. I liked the market scenes. I like Clara caring for the kid, which connects back to her being a governess.

An episode so bad I made up a rhyme just to remember "Never again watch The Rings of Akhaten". Cannot believe the way The Doctor defeated this enemy solely with his memories, it was a terrible plot.
