Spoiler: showYeah it felt like only a filler episode (as it's the middle of the series), and it felt a tad rushed as well imo. They should make each episode an hour instead of cramming it into a 40-45 minute slot. Fuck Over the Rainbow or w/e it's called on after it.
Otherwise I thought it was alright. Love the type of villain which berates and teases The Doctor, those are the best kinds of villain. I didn't really make any guesses to the identity of the Dream Lord. I had a vague feeling it would be something like The Trickster but I just refused to keep guessing cos my mind was blank anyway.
As for the ending, I need to re-watch it too. Something about a special kind of psychological dust The Doctor found in the TARDIS which affects you in your sleep that manifested the Dream Lord into his, Amy's and Rory's dreams?
Silurian two-parter next week although trailer looked sorta 'meh.'Spoiler: showYeah, it did feel a bit rushed and filler-y, but still enjoyable.
The part I didn't get at the end about the Dreamlord was The Doctor explaining about the dust, but in the end, in a reflection, he sees the Dreamlord instead of himself. Is this A) It's the Doctor seeing the bad in himself B) Actually something else, aka The Trickster or Valeyard.
I mean you could even say Dreamlord = Valeyard, wasn't the Valeyard like a bad version of the Doctor? (not super steeped in Dr. Who lore).
And yeah, next week's trailer looked really meh, which i'm hoping is a total head fake
