I sort of got it, I think. Lots of money spent on cgi and trees and bushes.
And how does the world's population just forget about the forests appearance and disappearance? Or don't they....or have I (as usual) missed something there 
Not one I'd describe as outstanding, or wish to watch again. Continued fine acting from Mr C. |

Hmm, yeah...
The season duffer for me. Felt more like an episode of The Sarah Jane Adventures 
I thought the little girl playing Maebh was quite good and some well played scenes but there was never any feeling of threat. My major gripe with the episode is the thinly disguised papering over the cracks of implausibility.
Two teachers, a handful of children and a defoliation crew are the only people around in central London.
Once you scare off a tiger with a torch, there's no need to worry about it ever again. You can lean on a fence and joke with your girlfriend, safe in the knowledge that it won't be lurking in the undergrowth, waiting to snatch one of the children in your care.
A Mum aimlessly riding around a forested London on a bike will find her daughter without too much fuss, even though she's a good couple of miles away from where she's supposed to be (the museum).
What the hell happened to Maebh's sister? Did she run away? Did the trees abduct her? Or was that a game of extreme hide and seek she was playing, hiding in a bush for a year?
On the plus side; next weeks trailer looks good and I've seen a publicity still with the Doctor holding an Invasion style Cyber head! Handles II perhaps? |

Hah! I'd forgotten that bit. I'm watching the episodes but really not remembering much from most of them. In my book that's a sure sign that I'm really not finding them interesting.
Ah well, as you say, onwards and upwards....why not bring back a popular monster quickly.....oh....they are |

| I enjoyed this one. Was sort of a school lesson as well as a good story.. Regarding the missing sister being inside the plant, there was mention by the mum when she was on the phone just before she opened the main door and discovered the forest, that the neighbours had planted some bush without their approval a year ago (which would coincide with the daughters disappearance. I know there was no reason behind it fully but I guess she/the plants were part of the big plan to save earth.. who knows in the whoniverse of things.. |

| Not that great. Bit fairytale. Didn't like Maeve wafting her arms around, or her Mum. More should have been put in the episode for Missy in the build up to the two part finale as the storyline was pretty weak. |

| A lot of money spent on some great effects but a poor episode.Not the greatest story,bit silly in places and the arm waving did my head in.A bit disappointed as I liked the last two episodes just hope next weeks is better. |

| I don't really care about DW anymore it has hit the bottom of an exceedingly deep manure pile under Moffat. And judging by the lack of contributions to what used to be a flourishing forum, I'm not alone. |
