I've watched the episode a few days ago, but I've only just got round to doing my episode round up!

Season 7 / Episode 3

- This is a better episode than the one previous, I'd give it a good 7/10. I particularly enjoyed the claustrophobic nature of the episode and also the reintroduction of an old friend - the Ice Warriors. Perhaps after the risk taken with Doctor Who: The Musical last week, this one was your typical Doctor Who episode: unease, tension, some light humour, it had all the typical parts you see. Probably because of the time it's been since the last Ice Warrior, we got abit of a starter guide on him and the use of exposition on that did drag, though I guess it was required.

- The rest of the guest cast aboard the submarine were your typical meat shields, whose use is basically to serve as fodder for the Ice Warrior. Really the only characters worth mentioning was SER DAVOS!!!! Oh, and also that professor guy with the music. Actually, his choice of music is something I cover in my mysteries list.

- The denouement, as is becoming a trend now, is slightly flat compared to the rest of the episode. The whole "talking" aspect has been done so many times now. It was done last episode, it was done this episode. I'm all for speeches, but it gets slightly tiresome having a monstrous Ice Warrior be talked down with words of mercy and the such. The tractor beam ending as well all slightly deus ex.

- Despite the repetitive ending, the episode was nonetheless a good one which, for me, pretty much ends Clara's first few steps into Doctor Who. She had her usual first episode, her first alien world, and her first gritty encounter. She's got the triad that all companions must go through to get their badge that's for sure. I can't wait for Hide though!

And now, the Mysteries section!

Season 7: Formy's Mysteries

- "Hungry Like The Wolf". The music may be a simple device to remind us the year this is set in, but this is Doctor Who. Avid fans of David Tennant's doctor would recognise the phrase 'Bad Wolf'. Simple coincidence or overarching story device? I'd go over the latter to be honest.

- Not really any other mysteries from this episode, besides the recurring mystery to Clara's mothers death.
