I feel like this season would be best enjoyed being binge watched.
I think this current trilogy would be best binged watched. The first episode was too Moffat-esque (for me, at least), the second was too boring but the hook at the end was great. If we were binge watching this year, I would have instantly watched the next episode to see what happens.
For me the rest of the season has been a lot of great standalone episodes that don’t make me gasping for the next episode but always leave me happy when the next Saturday rolls around.

This trilogy of Class episodes, on the other hand…
The trailer for the conclusion of the trilogy does look really good, though. (Even if it feels very Martha at the end of S3)
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I would say from “Oxygen” to “The Lie of the Land”… I have no idea if the two-parter that comes after will be connected as well, but I would definitely like to binge at least these four. Fortunately, I’ve been saving all my DVR’d copies, so after Saturday, I CAN! muahaha
Now, before this season started, I really REALLY wanted to get back to the full time companion, as opposed to the part-time companion. But I must say, with the format of The Doctor being more or less staying on earth, Bill being part time works for me.
This trilogy of Class episodes, on the other hand…
I watched Class when it aired in Canada, like a year ago? I think? I remember not being 100% on board with the first couple of episodes but really liking it by the end. Which episodes are you referring to?

I’m liking the finale three-parter (First two are Detained and TMEoWQD) so far.
10×8 “The Lie of the Land”
–I think this was my second favorite of the season, still not better than Thin Ice for me though.
–It got a bit…schmaltzy there at the end. There’s no denying that DW has a sentimental streak running through it, just look at the Xmas episodes. But I though the conclusion of “remembering mum and the evil dictators run away” was a bit cringe worthy even for a show that gets as treckly as DW does.
–I really liked the Doctor pretending he was working for the Monks because Peter Capaldi does mad Doctor really well. Won’t lie, sorta disappointed that it all turned out to be a ruse because I would have liked to have seen Bill straight up save the Doctor (a la Martha Jones style).
–So much current political commentary this year!
–“However bad it is, if people think that’s the way it’s always been, they put up with it.”
–“What about free will?” “You had free will and look what you did with it.”
–Missy is still bananas. Yay! But also changing and growing as a person. Also yay! But where does Simm come into all this?
–In the end, I’m not sure I was totally sold on this trilogy of episodes. I’ve seen stronger 3 part (or even two part) episodes from the show and this doesn’t really rank amongst them. It’s not horrible by any stretch of the imagination. Though, still giving big props to Peter for his performance. I’m gonna miss him.

Honestly, They could have cut half of PatEotW (all the padding) and put in the Missy flashbacks from “Extremis,” and it would have been a much better story. ‘Cause, in the end, what was the point of the simulation?
–I’m slightly confused by the ending. Humans don’t remember the Monks (either consciously or subconsciously forgetting the past six months) but those six months did happen and we saw that people did die. Either the public executions were fake to curtail rebellion or this is another example of the writers making everything too easy. There was no rapid undoing of that time unlike in the S3 finale.
