How come there were more bollards and traffic lights in London than people?

Trees grew over the oceans as well? (looked that way in the "zoomed out" shots).

WTF at Danny Plank's shining a torch at a tiger.

Surely stuffing the atmosphere with extra oxygen would just make the mother of all fireballs, not protect anything.

And as for the "you'll forget about all the trees next morning", won't there be a whole load of wrecked roads and buildings that they've grown through to remind everyone, not to mention a Nelson's Column on its side and a rather empty zoo?

Swiss cheese episode, more holes than substance

However, I do like the progression of Clara's character, she seems to be maturing to lead rather than follow.

Yep

Looks like the finale could be interesting.I'll probably watch but overall this is the year I kinda gave up. Its down to one factor - Peter Capaldi - IMHO a very poor Doctor and who just doesn't engage with ne in any way.

Originally I put it down to this, but then I remebemered that I didn't connect with Matt smith originally. I'm actually really liking Capaldi as the doctor, and Coleman as Clara has to be one of the best assistants in a very long time but the scripts are just killing them.

It seems to me that they have already written the end and then used fillers to help come to the series conclusion rather than the old days of just having damn good stories.

Highs and lows in the series, just as it has been before. Moon egg and this week being the lows, Capaldi and the previous 2 weeks being the highs for me.

It hasn't gone to st, on the whole the series has been pretty good, I've liked it a lot. But for every Girl In The Fireplace there's a Love and Monsters.

Capaldi has done a good job, Mathieson did a good job with the previous 2 episodes, I hope he does a lot more, Clara is a fuller character now. On the whole, thumbs up.

yes

It's almost as if they've landed a 'name' so are resting on their laurels & his/the shows reputation - using that to carry them over poor writing & crap story lines frown

Yes. That was bad science.teacher Remembering that experiment I did at school. Place a glowing splint into an oxygen-filled test tube and the splint will re-light.

They should've shot that scene at night when plants expel carbon dioxide, not oxygen. With that same experiment, only with a carbon-dioxide filled test tube. Carbon dioxide doesn't support combustion.

And not to mention the brilliant idea the government had to burn the trees on the streets of a major city with flame throwers, ignoring the possibility of the fire spreading to all the buildings and appearing to have no safeguards ensuring the public were not in the area. Although the complete lack of public (paid extras) helped this dire story.

Capaldi and his Doctor are excellent. The plots have been at least 50% crap.

THIS

Capaldi has grown on me like other doctors

Coleman is the most engaging character for a few years, still wrapped in mystery

Scripts and leading the viewers by the nose is the weak point which is spoiling the series.
