Flatline

Claustrophobic? Especially if it’s just thinking about something getting smaller? I hope not. At least for this episode.

The Doctor's TARDIS got smaller. But it didn't. Confusing right? The outside of the TARDIS shrunk while the inside powered down and stayed the same size.

The only question is... Why?

A new alien has appeared on Earth, and this time it wants to understand the human race and the 3D concept. They start testing on people, and kill them because of this. This testing effects the TARDIS and it's cloaking / sizing properties. 

Clara is mostly on her own. She has to figure out what is happening to the recently, and curiously, deceased. She finds out that the alien is 2D and is trying to grasp the concept of 3D. They move in the walls and floor, experimenting on humans. 

This episode is great at showing how far Clara is willing to go to keep traveling with the Doctor a secret from Danny Pink. She is trying to escape from one of these new species, and Danny calls. She desperately tries to seem normal and point out that everything is okay, but Danny still suspects something.

This episode is also really good at showing how much Clara has grown with the Doctor. She is able to keep calm and take charge of the situation even though the Doctor isn't there to help, just giving a few hints while he tries to figure out what is wrong with his TARDIS.

Personally, I don't think that this is a great episode. Definitely not the best one in the season so far, but it still is a good episode to watch.

Also, I placed a little poll on the side of this blog. If you could take a second to vote on what I should write about after season eight, that would be awesome. Thanks!
