Such a gimmick shouldn't work once, let alone twice, and yet here I found myself jumping around in my chair, punching the air with even more enthusiasm than last year.

It's a joy to watch, even when what just happened remains a bit of a head-scratcher, as it does in the very satisfying "Before the Flood."

It feels like the show is setting up a more permanent end for Clara than previous companions-which probably should have me concerned-but for now I'm mostly just pleased that she took action in the Doctor's absence.
October 12, 2015
That moment, as people say on the internet, when an episode of Doctor Who strays so far into the weird that it becomes a classic, somehow despite itself.

What makes "Before the Flood" exceptional... is how it-like the best Who stories-marries complex, heady concepts with a rollicking adventure that can be enjoyed by anyone without a PhD. in quantum mechanics.
October 12, 2015
A two-parter where both episodes are equally good and even feel like they belong together.
October 12, 2015
It's not too often that we get to see the Doctor peer at himself from around the corner (mercifully - it would get tired quickly), which invoked the warm familiarity of the sci-fi of yesteryear.

All in all, tonight was a fun episode that gave us one of the more visually elaborate - and frightening - monsters in while: the Fisher King.
October 12, 2015
The willingness of "Before the Flood" to play with the fourth wall and Peter Capaldi's performance in those scenes really brought the whole -- already good -- package together.

"Before the Flood" should be commended for being willing to toy with certain ideas, and for exposing a confounding truth involving its protagonists that might afford the season an interesting avenue to explore.
