I thought I would carry on this feature I started last year; I’ve saved it until this week because it was a two-parter.

Open Thread: In the Forest of the Night
So… the final episode before next week’s two-part season finale gets under way.

Doctor Who does Ocean’s 11 this week as it appears Clara and The Doctor are aboard the TARDIS having no memory of what has happened, but it seems they are going to rob a bank to find out what happened… Continue reading “Open Thread: Time Heist”
Open Thread: Listen
Interesting episode, and a kind of stand alone, kind of overview character building episode. Started off as the obligatory season’s scary episode and became a cerebral character analysis. Continue reading “Open Thread: Listen”
