DW Watch: "Hide"

Series 7, Episode

Hide is a much better showing than the last two. At least this one had a purpose, the doctor trying to find out more about Clara via a psychic, yet, Clara is still just a normal girl. Or is she? The story itself was an interesting take on a ghost story, actually involving a pocket universe. I didn't care much for the ancillary characters, which I think is a problem in DW and in sci-fi in general. I also don't quite feel the nature of the relationship between Clara and the doctor. Are they close? Is she still a bit distant from him? It doesn't feel entirely natural, yet. Next week seems interesting, hinting at a few mysteries lying within the TARDIS.

 

Next week: Inside the TARDIS's innards.
