Time Heist

Time for more opinions...

Not bad. Solid enough episode, and I was absurdly thrilled to see Abslom Daak's image on screen for a second, there. Not as memorable as the last few episodes though, I felt. And the twist ending was kind of telegraphed...

I'll need to watch the episode again before commenting, although I think the Teller is one of the best looking aliens ever seen on Doctor Who.

The quick cameo pics were fun to see, and it's nice to see Abslom Daak finally brought into continuity.

There was nothing wrong with this, but it wasn't as thought provoking as Listen or as funny as Sherwood. It was just a standard adventure story, I thought, and didn't really advance any of the ongoing subplots. I think I tend to expect a bit more than that, these days. Though a lot of online fans who usually moan about the episodes I think are clever seemed to love this one. Maybe it's just me.

I had a similar reaction. I wound up hating humanity (as with Planet of the Ood), but it wasn't as tricky as I think they meant it to be.
