"I enjoyed it a lot, but Doctor Who always fails a bit when it's predictable though. I saw the tattoo, knew it was a doom clock. I saw Rigsy with a baby, knew he was going to live. Heard talks of swapping the tattoo, knew Clara would get it and die for it. The only thing I didn't see coming was Me sending the Doctor off, I thought it was all a devious plan to kill Clara and take her place so she would no longer be stuck on Earth but hey.\n\nI also wasn't fond of the death scene to be honest. It actually felt cheap to me, like they were drawing out for drama and the slow-mo effect and the lack of a scream actually made it that more flashy to me. They turned her death into a \"will she, won't she\" scene, which I guess could work if she actually survived in some way but if she doesn't it was just too drawn out. And I like Clara, and didn't want her to die, but it was the only way her character could go.\n\nI do agree that the idea of the trap street and the alien refugee camp was some great stuff (you think a Cyberman cares about a merciful death?). I was just disappointed that 30 minutes of the episode were things I knew were coming.\n\nLooking forward to Hell Bent though, alien planets!"
