Clara really shines in this episode, and the plot is strong and well-paced. The episode's resolution feels clever and sensible. It's by no means my favourite, but it's good. Like Liked 1 23 September 2024 · 52 words Review by AndyUK 1 Another very good episode. Enjoyed last week a little more but loved the idea of The Boneless and they could easily return too. The resolution wasn't much but that didn't spoil things too much. Very interested to see where The Doctor and Clara's relationship is going, the character development has been terrific.

You are monsters. That is the role you seem determined to play. So it seems I must play mine. (The Doctor steps out of the TARDIS. Clara, Rigsy and Fenton come down the ladder.) DOCTOR: The man that stops the monsters. I'm sending you back to your own dimension. Who knows? Some of you may even survive the trip. And, if you do, remember this. You are not welcome here. This plane is protected. I am the Doctor. (He turns, and Clara throws him the sonic screwdriver.) DOCTOR: And I name you The Boneless. — Flatline Show All Quotes (2) Open in new window Transcript Needs checking (Transcriber's notes - 1: I apologise for the way the scenes leap around so much, making the flow of dialogue break up. Blame the producers for telling the scriptwriter that the Doctor had to be isolated from the action so that his scenes could be filmed very quickly in one place. There is a second version of the transcript where I have merged them as much as possible to smooth this out.) [Flat] (A frightened bearded man is making a telephone call.) ROSCOE: Police, please. Hello? Yes. I know who did it. Who did it all. I figured it out. No. No, I can't speak up. They might hear me. (Something hisses or sizzles nearby.) Show Full Transcript Open in new window
