When he breathed fire I just wanted the Doctor to pull out a sausage on a fork and grill it on Leandro's breath.

Yeah, it was schlocky and ridiculous in the end.
I enjoyed the sneaking around the house parts though.

Do people actually like the Osgood character? Having an in universe fangurl (or fanboy) just seems really stupid to me.
I like her character as it nods to the past, but.... yeah.... really everything UNIT could just go away imo...

Imagine Star Wars if instead of beeps and boops, R2-D2 followed everyone around saying stuff like, "Yeah, never tell him the odds." "Can I have a light saber, too? Lightsabers are cool." "Nerfherder. Ha ha." "Your father? Oh no." and "GO EWOKS!"

Yeah she's bits of Liz Shaw, Harry and even Sarah Jane Smith.

+ Martha, Jo, and that annoying guy you see at the comic book shop you don't want to talk to.

She's ok in small doses, as a character who pops up every now and again. Not sure I'd want her as a series regular though.
Good to hear. I can't wait to watch it.

I think this is the last time they need to use the Osgood character. They gave her a purpose. Now move along.

He sure was! Really enjoyable two-parter. Loving this series so far!

This latest two parter was a little rough around the edges here and there but its old school feel, topical subject matter, dark undertones, and Capaldi's performance elevated it into something very, very special. And did I say Capaldi's performance. The dude should be nominated for an Emmy and BAFTA just for that powerful speech at the end of last night's finale. That had me shaking and choked up all at the same time. You can really tell that just under his skin, the Doctor is a fragile, messed up and totally damaged being who has lived way too long and done way too many horrible things and he can't and will never shake them. How much more pain can he endure before he just just loses it? Some of the best acting ever done by an actor playing this role. I hope Capaldi stays on for the next several years.

Agreed. That character has just been annoying as hell but this story turned her into someone full of gravitas and supreme importance. You really can't grow this character further unfortunately. Now by just having her on doing her fangirl routine would amount to total parody and take away from what they did to her.

This latest episode definitely got better as it went on, a very fine performance by Capaldi

So... what exactly happened in this latest episode?
Well, I've heard/read different versions:
1) None of that hapenned, it was all a story by Rasmussen. The Doctor never visited the place, the rescue party never showed up, nothing. So, by transmitting the message, he actually won. All humans from that point and onwards will be Sandmen.
2) Everything hapenned like shown. Rasmussen still won, but this creates the plot-hole of whether Clara will now become a Sandman as well.
Either way you cut it, the Sandmen won, which means that every human from the 38th Century and onwards will a Sandman. The Doctor lost it seems. Now, what makes people argue is whether Clara will slowly turn into a Sandman or not. Some say it's tied with her exit. Who knows?
