04BennettCH Viridis I was laidback through the entire episode until all of a sudden another TARDIS appeared (looking more like Dalek style then Time Lord) and I was drawn to the screen like Sophie and the Doctor were drawn to the engine. That could’ve been mindblowing. That could’ve been a second ‘Utopia’ with the appearance of another Time Lord, but instead we got this creepy computer and hologram trying to fix the ship. Smith entirely outshone Corden, still surprising us with new turns in his performance. Corden wasn’t too bad, but it’s just easy to overlook him, I think. Tombombadil66 The_Tomahawk_Kid I really did not like this episode at all. The plot elements could all have been contained in the trailer there were so few of them. I thought most of the “comedy” was cringeworthy. Give me Love and Monsters anyday over this! Matthewsouthcott Good solid episode, enjoyed it and did find it brilliantly funny and entertaining at seeing Smith’s Doctor being so awkward and not fitting in, and his general crazy, geeky and unbalanced persona which seems to be the Doctor’s way now Jimreeve A1nostaliga On the whole, not great but better than expected and to be fair a surprisingly good script from Gareth Roberts who hadn’t impressed me at all in the RTD era, maybe Steven Moffat managed to reign in Roberts excesses and annoying in-jokes.That said, it was nice to see the nod to Van Gogh on the fridge! Frankly, Corden’s role could have been taken by anyone with an equity card but you can’t have everything… First episode this series that I’ve actively disliked. I was prepared for Corden to do his ‘little boy voice from big body’ act, but it was the football that really did it. Back when I was a little runt with no coordination whatsoever, Who gave me hope that it didn’t matter if you were picked last in PE – other, non-physical stuff could make up for that. Can’t help feeling ever so slightly miffed that our hero turns out to be brilliant at sodding football after all. Oh, the betrayal!
