ARE YOU KIDDING US? Why do we spend so much time with the Disney princess rather than the Doctor. i seriously was not a big fan when they did this crap to Jodie Whitiker's Doctor but now it's getting damn annoying. We need to get to know the new DOCTOR, not the damn sidekick. The sidekick story is supposed to be the background from episode to episode, not the damn starring role.
Less than 60 secons of the Doctor the entire episode. This is utter shit. Katr Lethbridge Stewart shows up magically with zero explanation how Ruby even knew to get ahold of a secret agency she wouldn't know anything about yet. Just stupid as hell. and as if it couldn't get dumber? Kate and UNIT get brainwashed also even without direct contact. We never find out where the help the Doctor went to.
AND somehow when the Doctor reappears he magically knew something he didn't know from the beginning? Hokey as hell. No matter how much Disney has their own people commenting that was a good Doctor Who episode.
The episode is interesting but again NOT DOCTOR WHO. Just Disney princess takeover.
3 only because the story, in spite of the flaws was okay. Disney Goosebumps episode with the Tardis in frame a couple times.
0 for real Doctor Who fans.

@tgrbabydoll Huh? What makes Ruby any different to all the other companions we've spent countless episodes focusing on for over the past 20 years?

WTF?! I mean, really, what the bleeping f___?! How desperate or bored or clueless do your have to be to take a noir detective story, get Colin Ferrell to star in it, and then make him a fracking alien? Talk about taking any good will you may have still have had (the show's over reliance on its visual quirks and desperate need to hide the surprise already spent a good chunk of it) and flushing it right down the toilet. Hard to imagine why anyone would come back for a season 2 after this inane twist.

@mattschec COMPLETELY disagree.. It's not often a show actually surprises me to the point I actually say out loud oh wtf! This did. Love this show, very original (in an old way) and you never know what you're going to get! Bring on more! Every other TV show is plain and boring next to this I think.

I think it was hinted at the entire series. There was always something afoot that wasn't revealed that they were teasing.
