Time to say goodbye to the Time Lord my ass!
I can't believe those people who wrote the earlier teasers mislead us like that. __________________

Sure. Most of it was pretty good.

I really enjoyed the episode and it's favourite one of the series.
I liked that they had a countdown clock so you could see that it was actually 66 seconds. I thought the mummy was quite creepy, until the Doctor figured how what it was really was. Loved Capaldi's impression of the Fourth Doctor and when he said "Are you my mummy?". Not forgetting him offering a jelly baby to Professor Moorhouse. I was surprised to see Clara with the Doctor, as I was expecting her not to be there due to the previous episode, but I was ok with them explaining in the episode. I think that the Twelfth Doctor is very close to taking over as being my favourite Doctor. __________________

It was silly,but it was why I liked it. The last one wasn't that great,but this one was fun. Clara and The Doctor fighting is a no-no.

The episode was great, but it was just proof that the drama from the last episode was pointless

That was possibly the best episode of the series so far. Really good, old school Doctor Who story. Creepy, funny, inspired casting with Frank Skinner, who I'd have been very happy to see join the TARDIS crew and would be 10000x times better than Danny flipping Pink who turned up for yet another irritating and pointless cameo.
Negatives of the episodes were, as Lars said, it made the already needless and pointless angst of last week even more unnecessary as it was practically completely ignored. Couple of mentions, and that was it, and at the end she was all smiles again. Totally ridiculous but a sign of Moffat's influence unfortunately. Plus the irritating obligatory Danny Pink appearance which had zero plot relevance and Foxes destroying- absolutely murder- an absolute Queen classic, which was awful. But otherwise, I thought it was a pretty fantastic episode. __________________
