Yeah, it was a bit boring really. Heck- my family called the ending before the Doctor did. I mean, it wasn't Love & Monsters boring, but it didn't have the chills and sense of imminent danger of last weeks episode. And Clara went back to being more follower than equal, and heck it rarely felt like she was that. In fact, she might as well not have been in this episode. The character contributed less than Danny Pink.
Suppose I should mention the story. Trees save the world (even where trees and plant life shouldn't really grow. Magical Not-Torchwood fairy creatures are involved, as are kids (grrrr) and the world forgets the next morning.
Meh. I'm sure kids loved it, which I suppose is the main thing. It's just, it wasn't long ago I loved it too, and I haven't felt the same way about the show since David Tennant and Russell T Davis left.
Still, the finale (which was of course previewed after the credits) looks good! If only for the sight of Cybermen stomping down the steps of St Paul's. I like it when they introduce Daleks and Cybermen into the mundane landscape of London. It's sinister.
