Yeah. I thought there were some interesting ideas in the episode, but the execution was boring and I could not take the monsters seriously. I spent most of the ep convinced the whole thing had to be a dream because there was no way the monsters were really going to turn out to be eye crud rather than something psychological.

No worries!

Yeah, it was just... Well, I guess it was League of Gentlemen Do Doctor Who. But still just odd.

Ah well. Here's to tomorrow!

I'm so very tired of found-footage horror. It's lazy, it's trite, it's pointless. It's gotten to the point where I've walked out of theatres when it turns out a movie is found footage. So no, this episode lost me right away and never did much to win me back. It felt far too much like Moff trying to repeat the trick of "Blink" for the fifteenth time (and ripping off that Angel episode where Lorne removes his sleep and it turns into the Hulk) to get there).

But yeah, next episode looks good.

It was by Mark Gatiss, so you can't blame Moffat! (Except for putting it on screen, I suppose...)

But yeah, I guess every series gets to have a turkey. C'est la vie.

Yeah, the execution was boring in my opinion :/
