There was alot I liked about this episode. It felt claustrophobic for a start, it's was dark and wet and confined and the direction suited it well. The Ice Warrior was an excelent redesign and he sounded great! But then there was that moment when my heart sank, when he escpaed his armour. I was really hoping they wouldn't fall back on this, but seriously? I don't think it came off to badly at all. Save for the incorrect no. of digits between the armour and forearm I thought they made a good move keeping him mostly in the shadows. But the face didn't need to be CGI, a mix of it and practical FX would have sufficed. Clara still isn't gelling with me though, I just can't like her. On the plus I don't hate her like Rose. The supporting cast where a nice selection also. Best of series 7 so far I think.
