Doctor Who Series 8: Time Heist

SPOILERS!!!!! Read at your own risk. 

I was disappointed in this episode.I think the idea was a good one, but it was just too short. This episode joins the list of episodes that would have been 20 times better if they were double episodes. Everything just happened too quickly. The characters were all underdeveloped. This is, sadly, my least favourite episode of series 8.

I was so excited about the new villain, but she was barely in the episode for five minutes. The Teller was such a good idea, but, again, the episode wasn't long enough to tell us very much about it. I think I would have really liked Saibra if she had had more than two lines.

I honestly don't really have anything more to say about it. So I'm going to make a list of all the Doctor who episodes that should have been double episodes: NOTE: This list does not include episodes that I wish were longer because they were so awesome and I want more of them.
  • A Good Man Goes to War
  • Let's Kill Hitler
  • The Wedding of River Song
  • The Angels Take Manhattan
  • Nightmare in Silver
  • The Name of the Doctor
  • Time Heist
You may notice that all of these episodes are from Moffat's era. In fact, that's the thing I dislike most about Moffat's era. There aren't enough double episodes.

I'm hoping that I will like the next episode more, and I think I will. It's called The Caretaker. The Doctor becomes the caretaker at Coalhill school. I'm excited to see more of Danny.
