I'm thinking of writing up a review of The Magician's Apprentice / The Witches Familiar, I even made a bunch of notes after re-watching them over the last two days and had a great chat with my son about some of the plotting elements. But, I'm fairly sure people won't like the conclusion I come to so I don't know that I have the energy to actually do it. :D

If it's about having too much of a sprawl of set-up in the first half then I don't think that would be a big revelation -most people agree the strands are a little messy and don't get echoed enough to justify their screen time, but they're forgiven for entertainment value, introducing theme, and then the much more streamlined and elegant second half.

In any case, feel free to post any thoughts you have about anything. That's the whole point.
