FULL LENGTH REACTION

OfficiallyGames

An underrated episode that often gets said as being one of the weaker ones of the series but still its a personal favourite of mine.

Damn, George still catching strays due to mistaken identity

"You walk our Earth, you breathe our air and you can damn well help us when we need you." - Clara to The Doctor (Kill the Moon) "Its my planet too. I walk your Earth, I breathe your air." - The Doctor to Clara (In the Forest of the Night) This callback makes this episode.

Tommy

Poor George.

I don't remember this episode being as fantastic as it clearly is. Made even better by seeing how you saw it too. For context, I'm sure you'll not be surprised when I tell you this episode was written by the Children's Laureate. If you're not familiar, being it's a UK thing, the Children's Laureate is a royal appointment held by a chosen successful or popular children's author.

I have to say when I first watched this episode I didn’t care for it, but after several rewatches it’s really grown on me. I’m glad you enjoyed it, I had a feeling you might. Can’t wait for the finale, and then…series 9 imo the best season of doctor who ever.

Same..I think for me seeing it through Angela’s eyes improved it.

Alkaris

I do remember fondly of this episode, seeing an entire planet forest grow like that over night.

Honestly alot of people sleep on this episode for being disappointing, it's not bad at all infact i'd lump it with Robot of Sherwood for a fun fairytale episode, No one get's the ending so don't worry i guess just happy ever after kinda thing, Super pumped for the ending two parter of season 8 and Missy's reveal I really wonder what you will think of it.

Fairy tales were always set in the big dark scary woods. Lost children, cannibal witches & man eating wolves. We forget that there was a time when mysterious, dangerous & mystical forests covered the world. If you were a peasant in ancient times then you never travelled farther than your village. Who could say that a troll or monster didnt live in the woods... just over there where the trail ends? This fear of the forest is baked into our DNA.

It's funny, whenever I've rewatched this season I've bascially skipped this episode because I'm so keen to get to the finale. But slowing down and watching it with you really made me appreciate it. Glad I did.

Didn't like this episode of first watch but it has grown on me a bit more and I do like the fairy tale nods. Not sure how far ahead you watch before posting and you're prob already aware there is a mid credit scene in the last episode in this series. But I'd also say pay attention to the opening credits as well on that episode. Most reactors don't.

Jack Mingle

I'm guessing with the Missing Sister is that she just simply ran away from home, we see that there appears to be issues with the parents and running away isn't a big leap. She returns home because I don't think she actually went far away from home, just not at home. (city over or even a few neighborhoods away) and came home because she heard Maebh (traditional spelling of Maive/Maeve. Look up Great Vowel Shift) on her phone, remember she literally called everyone in the world, so likely a teenage runaway would have a phone.

Ketchup, definitely ketchup

One thing that occurred to me about Capaldi's Doctor's character arc is it's likely very similar to Matt Smith's after losing Amy and Rory. In The Snowmen we see that the Doctor has been hiding out on Earth and not getting involved. Madam Vastra told Clara, "The Doctor is not kind." I think he went through a lot of the same grieving process, but we didn't see it on screen. The important thing being, he was still the Doctor and still made it back to his old self, more or less.

John

Yup. Clara really made an impact on the Doctor. I love that callback.

Nathan

i am too!

This is one of the episodes that I never find myself wanting to watch as a one-off, but absolutely love it when I watch it in sequence. I like how, after they start talking about Hansel and Gretel we see Maebh in a red hood being chased by a wolf. An overnight field trip to a museum is a longstanding UK school activity - I've met people who participated in such things here in the States, but it's far more commonplace over there. And I think Annabelle was just a runaway, but because Maebh asked for her to come home in her message to the world, The Green found her and returned her.

Well with the idea of forgetting the pain, it really harkens back to what 11 said to child Amy after the Big Bang Two and he was going to be stuck on the other side of the crack. "We're all stories in the end, just make it a good one, eh?" Humans forget, but we have stories and myths and legends. After all, they're all rooted in truth somewhere, right?

Carl Wilson

About why it doesn't matter what subjects Clara and Danny teach as their field trip supervisors, and why the kids don't like Danny calling them a "team": I dismiss Clara's line about lying to them about calling them gifted and talented, because that's not how school works. You actually have to have names for all the programs. So I assume they really are an extracurricular gifted and talented group. However, that probably also means that a lot of them are on the spectrum, and have other personal and social issues. Speaking from experience, you usually don't get put in gifted programs just because you have good grades. Sometimes you don't even have good grades! You're talented but need extra help in other ways. It's special ed. (And maybe it's a mixed special ed group, to be fair to Clara.) So these are eccentric kids who generally don't like seeing themselves as part of a group, or a "team." Though this crisis gives them a new experience of that - and in real life, forests and nature can have that kind of changing effect on troubled kids' emotions, too. (This is part of a whole educational movement called "forest schools.") All this is probably part of why I like this episode more than most do.

MaxValPlatt

Yeah, it's a fine mind-blowing episode :)

Kids are the one nemesis the Doctor can't overcome!

Peter Powis

I always enjoy this episode, it's really entertaining! Don't understand it all, but I don't actually mind that!

Peter Powis

oh i missed that! thanks for pointing that out!
