Walking dead is BACK, Homeland is Back I've now got Boardwalk, Peaky Blinders, Gotham, Rome (repeated on TCM), The Strain. Looking forward to the Knick and sleepy hollow. I don't go out except to run, oh and work.
The Scribbler Oct 2014 2:58pm, 15 Oct 2014 3,292 posts	0 The Scribbler I had terrible trouble hearing the dialogue in this episode. The sound balance seemed to favour the music and FX. Either that or I am getting old and losing some of my hearing range. Mr S fiddled with the TV settings, but it was still a bit of unclear, but I thought I heard a Tom Baker like tone.
Funky Chicken Oct 2014 3:11pm, 15 Oct 2014 258 posts	0 Funky Chicken The mummy episode has to be my favourite so far of this series, although I do still think they're laying on the 'dark doctor' a bit too thick. In the old series it was just accepted that he wasn't human and sometimes he could be a bit dismissive about death, though he could also get impassioned about needless loss of life - here though, it's being hammered home every week as a major plot-point.

ERM Oct 2014 6:44pm, 15 Oct 2014 244 posts	0 ERM I thought this episode was great...certainly they're pushing the dark Doctor bit...I mean, can you see them allowing Tennant or Smith to kill the catering staff via overuse of a mobile phone ?
JK chameleon Oct 2014 6:55pm, 15 Oct 2014 9,224 posts	0 JK chameleon I thought the episode was ok. I liked the initial premise, but the conceit of the passengers and decor of the train being not real jarred with me. Were the kitchen staff also not real? All a bit woolly. I've still not warmed to Capaldi. I'm still struggling to catch what he's saying, and as the weeks go by I care less. I'm disappointed that with 4 episodes and 3 stories left of the series I've only really enjoyed one episode (Time Heist) - and that was more because it was so un-Wholike...
GordonG Oct 2014 8:42am, 17 Oct 2014 6,466 posts	0 GordonG meant to say, the last episode had one of my favourite lines of the series so far: "Your worst nightmare is a mystery shopper?"
