Re: Doctor Who "Listen"

Clara suggests it is perfectly within character for the Doctor to have written it and then forgot (and to be honest, she isn't wrong). Under the blanket is suggested to be another kid in the orphanage playing tricks.

However, a lot of people are suggesting it is another time loop (like the Doctor and Jacket from Flesh and Stone where it'll be explained later in the season.

Or there really is a soul devouring monster that hides behind you all the time. All. The. Time.

The Silence v1.2? And, speaking as someone who quit watching a few minutes into the "Evil snowmans!!!ELEVENTY-SO-SAD!!!!ONE!!!" "special", tell me now: On a scale of 0 to Moffat, how Moffat is the plot, exactly?

It's hard to say. We've barely seen any of the ongoing plot so far - just enough to know there is one. Could go either way.

Well, that's an improvement, at least. Not exactly par for the course.

I think this is Möbius-level Moffat, and until we get to the finale it is also Schrödinger Moffat. You can't really score this one on the scale, because he is either taking the piss out of himself (and the fanbase), or he is playing it very straight (and also still taking the piss out of the vocal wailer part of the fanbase).

Which part of the vocal wailers? Those of us who detest his "plot" (or stunning lack thereof), or the shrill SJWs constantly moaning about this, that, or the other "problematic" thing?

he is either taking the piss out of himself (and the fanbase), or he is playing it very straight

Think I would prefer the former option to the latter, IMO. Based on the other spoilers ITT, I will be giving this episode a pass.

It's a Moffat episode, but one of his good ones, i.e. one that has good internal build-up and consistency. The kind of one-shot he's good at. If you're asking for the season theme, though, that might yet come crashing down.

I honestly wish it was a monster. This was the first Doctor Who episode that genuinely scared me. And as much as I loved that scene with Clara and the young Doctor, the lack of monster ruined the scary beginning for me. This is the first episode of this season that I've had mixed feelings about.

I sort of loved it wasn't a monster for that very reason. I love the show acknowledges that our monsters but also u strengths) are often within up. To me, it's my fav episode s far.

Oh I get that. And I kind of agree. It is just this episode was literally the first thing I've watched that scared me in a really long time, so I felt kind of let down when there was no monster. So my feelings are a bit mixed.

Nah, I get that. I do hope we still get a good scary episode, but I'm glad we got this one, too.
