Galaxies Realm

The second episode of series 5, "The Beast Below", will transmit on BBC One at 6.15pm. This will be place to discuss.

Slow and a bit dull after last week but still had plenty of good character moments for both the Doctor and Amy - 8/10.

I found it pretty dull and surprisingly uninvolving for the most part, but it had a good ending.

I give this a 9/10. Very good and very enjoyable! Showed off the Doctor's playful and serious and I liked how the parallels between his situation and the whales were drawn.

Charming story, Matt Smith has secured his place as one of my favourites Doctors. The story was hindered somewhat by having so much in it and so little time. It almost would have worked better as a two-parter.

7/10

I give the episode a 7, a strange episode but it was still good. To be honest, I was expecting it to be a little bit scarier.

A clever fairy tale with a big big heart. I found it entertaining but I didn't love it (I guess following The Eleventh Hour would be a hard act for any DW episode). Loved the Winston Churchill bit at the end as well.

Not the strongest episode, but still a good story and nice to see someone else save the day for a change. Loved the quip about democracy. Oh, and the ending was good too, love how it all came together.

It was good but I didn't really love it (pretty good first 30 minutes, disappointing last 15). It had some very interesting themes and I liked the concept of the star ship. Doctor Eleven continues to develop; it was good to see his angry side, although I would have preferred some more humor.

I give it an 6 overall. Matt Smith was fantastic but the story was just a bit dull and bland... basically. Though it is great to see a companion think and act for themselves again. Loved the ending.
