So, I don't really have much to say about this episode... it was okay, but I just couldn't get into it. And good grief, that's some serious mood whiplash, Clara. You sure you shouldn't be on any medication?

Thoughts?

I really liked this episode up until the last ten minutes or so :P I kinda think it should have been a two-parter. We met some really great, interesting characters this episode and I would have liked to have seen more of them. Plus the mummy and the 66 second thing was an awesome threat but I felt like the 'solution' was far too quick and a bit of a let down after all the tension the majority of this episode built up.

CLARA OH MY GOD FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL ARE YOU DOING. You make a valid, strong case for why you don't want to hang around with him any more and then right at the last minute you're all 'oops never mind, I'm stupid, sorry'? AAAAAAAAARRRRRGHHHH XC

Twelve has some very likable qualities but there is a side to him that is disctinctly UNlikable and quite often I'm not a fan of the way he treats Clara. He emotionally manipulates her and then makes her feel guilty about it. And by making a complete 180-degree turn on her decision like that will just make him think he's got away with it and she'll never ACTUALLY leave him no matter how many times he does it.

I dunno, maybe I just 'go off' companions when they stick around but the Doctor changes. I LOVED Nine and Rose, absolutely adored them, but couldn't STAND Ten and Rose. And I liked Eleven and Clara, and now I'm all mehhhh, Twelve needs someone else, someone who WILL go through with their decisions, stand up to him and not tolerate him acting like a twat. Like Perkins, he would be great, I can just imagine him being all 'whatever' when Twelve insults him and walking off until Twelve starts missing him and apologises :P

TLDR: Good threat and story but a classic example of the writers/Moffat showing how weak-willed they believe women to be XC
