I'm a bit unsure on this episode, and the series as a whole so far. It certainly wasn't bad, and it was enjoyable enough, but for some reason I'm not quite "feeling" this series yet. I was kind of like this about S6 (though less so) so maybe I'll like it more when I come to watch it all.

I'll hold off to wait till I rewatch as always, but right now I'd probably vote it 3 or 4 out of 5.

I'm giving it full marks. This season is proving to be really strong so far. I thought the story was great though for me the Terminator references, especially at the beginning, felt a bit cheap. I loved that we weren't told who we should be rooting for. Usually the show is pretty clear cut on who are the good guys and who are the bad guys but that was left pretty ambiguous here. Was anyone really bad? Was anyone really good? And they left it open, I like that. I think some of the supporting cast were a bit wasted but the time was filled well and on the timeframe not everyone was going to be given ample screentime so I can overlook that. Definitely one I look forward to rewatching.

My first full marks of the series goes to this story. I really can't find fault with it. This was perhaps the NuWho story that feels the most  like a classic story to me. I'm not sure exactly why, but it just felt like old Who and I love that.

The latest episode really felt like 'one for the boys' but I still really enjoyed it. It was a lot heavier in tone than a lot of the more recent episodes have been but I don't think that's a particularly bad thing. I've given it 4/5

I've watched it a couple times now and I think I can fairly come down on a 4/5. I'm not sure what it was exactly, but something about the story niggled with me and so I couldn't give it full marks. It was enjoyable enough though.
