Classic twist of fate, Rod Serling at his finest!

The episode starts, evolves, and ends, almost like any Twilight Zone, Outer Limits episode. In fact, I couldn't help but draw conclusions on where the story will lead. I felt like if this was a Rod Serling episode, I knew where it would end, and the story was playing out like a warning. Guided by Brooker, and his story telling, with Capaldi's comfortable style of acting, I kept waiting for the catalyst that changes artificial to human. Brooker has made this seventh series a collection of great watches, and in the art of TZ or OL subjects, except that Brooker has added technology to the mix.

Been a follower of Doctor Who from the original series, through the "2005" series, to this new series with the Fifteenth Doctor. I'll never stop watching it. The Original series brought me in, and the "2005" series had me wondering just how scary the next episode was going to be. Bringing back iconic characters like the Daleks, and Cybermen, to the introduction (in my words) of the scariest of all, the Weeping Angels. The new series started out with a effects driven episode Space Babies, which had me guessing just how they did it. The second episode was interesting, from the effects side. The third episode was more or less forty minutes of The Doctor standing in one place not moving. As the series progresses I hope to see more of the continuation of the "2005" series, but as it stands right now... all I can say is... mellow.

Shame, if it wasn't for Red Dwarf, you'd think that "any" Sci-Fi, "space" series could ever make it past two, God Forbid, it makes it past one... Just another show that ended before it could leave a mark on our watching radar, and added to the ever growing list of shows ending too soon; Space: 1999, UFO, etc...
