The Doctor is an idiot (foreshadowing!) and Clara confronts him for it. Loved it for the drama and the acting (Capaldi and Coleman are fantastic).

The sci-fi stuff is okayish, I can accept that the moon is an egg and that a dragon hatches from it I guess.

The messaging can be a bit misguided. The first time I watched I loved it. Then I went online and saw the controversy this episode caused. I can understand why people hate this episode, but (having just rewatched it) I just don't think it is the intent of the episode to give that statement, although I believe it should have been better written so it could avoid seeming like it was agreeing with that kind of ideology.

The moral dilemma is there for Clara to realise what kind of person the Doctor is, and to call him out for it, so we can have proper character development (which is what the 12th Doctor's run is all about).

i like doctor who blue moon and the lunar tyk better for me tenth doctor and eleventh doctor only after clara very bad outburst and hate twelfth doctor

Very good stuff, I wasn't really a fan of Courtney and the moon being an egg plot was admittedly a bit silly but it didn't really matter in the end, it was all window dressing for the moral dilemma.

The beginning with the whole base under siege and the and the dilemma and subsequent fall out between The Doctor and Clara made for some fantastic scenes between Capaldi and Coleman. Think that's the moment that will eventually resulting in Clara leave the show so it's nice to see something so significant in a mid-season episode and I think you could understand both characters point of view.

Legitimately offensive episode. Should have never been produced.
