Doctor Who XXXV/9.12: Hell Bent

[sir_guinglain]

This was another episode where I'd been asked to write a review based on a rough cut of the episode available through the BBC Previews web service. I had rather a lot of time on my hands this week and so it's even longer than usual. Doctor Who Reviews: Hell Bent

I added a few more thoughts at The Event Library, but really as accompaniment for the link. Meanwhile there is more squee than scorn online, and I expect a flurry of fanfics about a certain partnership within the next twenty-four hours.

I was really hoping that they wouldn't do anything that would undermine how well Clara's death worked for me, but I shouldn't have doubted.

I tend to agree with your point about the season not setting up the concepts as well as it could have done - the hybrid stuff very much went over my head until the last couple of weeks - but as an ending I found it pretty emotionally satisfying. (And it's always nice when they give people some more things to write fanfic about ;-D)

I will have to copy my own fanfic from the comments field where it was pasted.
