I swear episodes happen to be better when the doctor steps on stuff

This was quite a good episode. After I saw the preview for it last week I was concerned because it looked like another basic period piece but there's aliens type episode which are often middling. But this episode threw twists that made it so much fun and so interesting. There were a few moments that were a bit predictable but even still they worked, and the overall premise is interesting too, despite not looking it in the previews. I was even surprised by something which after the episode I realized would've been spoiled by the description, but they do it well.

Overall it's a good episode. Not quite as good as 73 yards but some people may like it better than Boom, although I personally like Boom slightly more.
