HOT DAMN! That was a good episode!
Genuinely creepy (though that has been a theme this series) and well paced- it even benefits from a consistent emotional state from Clara! The episodes writer, Jaime Mathieson, has done Clara a great service tonight. She is separated from the Doctor, and forced to play the hero and leader, and she does it brilliantly! Her experiences in time and space and her own intelligence shine- something that I personally haven't experienced much of this series. If she could be written, directed and acted like this for the rest of the series, I might actually miss her when she leaves!
And when the Doctor makes a reappearance at the end, it almost feels as grand as Matt Smith's finale in his first episode, or David Tennant's triumphant victory at the end of The Christmas Invasion.
All-in-all very happy with tonight's televisual feast!
