Terrific episode, epic! Really delivered the goods. I love how John Hurt’s Doctor ended up being often a more humorous character, making fun of his future versions, showing us more to his personality than the war stuff, which makes him feel more like the same guy as the other two.
And the new direction, while a bit comic booky in undoing a big previous tragic event, feels fitting for this show, and opens up some fun new plot potential.
If I had one nitpick, for Smith’s run getting to it’s end this episode didn’t have enough character stuff with him and Clara, hard to believe they won’t be a duo after next month.
Also one thing’s for sure, the original version of the theme song is still the most badass.
