Doctor Who: Flatline Thoughts and Review °Spoilers

So, I really liked this episode of Doctor Who, it´s honestly the first episode I´ve watched where I genuinly felt scared. It was scary, scary like crazy I mean two dimentional monsters who just attack every three dimentional object, even the TARDIS.
¨This is Annoying¨ pointing to all of Clara Lol. I think the writers are finally begining to get the idea, that Clara is not liked being paired with this Doctor.
The story starts off with the Doctor bringing Clara home well, kinda, because well as the Doctor has said before the TARDIS doesn´t like Clara. And instead of taking her back to London she ends in Bristol. But before they manage to get out of the TARDIS, Clara notices something strange, the door of the TARDIS is small and the Doctor sends Clara out to check on things as he tries to figure out whats going on with the TARDIS. But when she comes back the TARDIS has shrunk even more leaving the Doctor trapped in the TARDIS and Clara to more or less save the world with little if any help. And what does Clara do with this new found problem? Instead of being worried she comments about how cute a small TARDIS is, nevermind that the Doctor has no way of getting out at this point. And so the Doctor gives her his sonic and psychic paper and askes her to look around for him and then gives her an earpiece and hacks her optic nerve, which if you think abou it is kinda super cool. But Clara somehow manages to screw it by asking the Doctor what that ment, I mean really she´s a teacher and she doesn´t know what the optic nerve is.
But these she goes off with the Doctor in her purse ending up making her as if there was any guess before a Mary Poppins with a bag thats bigger on the inside. And then having her pick up a companion that you honestly thought the Doctor would at least have him on board for another episode but nope, he doesn´t even say thank you to Clara for helping him get his TARDIS back and basically saving his life but well, it is the 12th Doctor after all. Also I wonder why the Doctor is kinda lully gaging around the universe instead of looking for Gallifrey, or if there is some underlaying thing with that like he doesn´t want to go back because he´s afraid he will be judged.  
But, you have to feel bad for the Doctor when he tells Clara that she made a perfect Doctor, because you can see so clearly, that he hates lying all the time, giving what he thinks is false hope, thats why I think there is such a drastic change in personality between the 11th doctor and the 12th. Despite everything he does he knows and hates the his first rule is to lie. 
That being said the end speech given by Capaldi (the 12th Doctor) was as 9 would say, ¨Fantastic¨. So, what did you think about the episode? Did you love it? Hate it? Leave a comment and let me know.
