The monsters looked pretty cool and they gave a clever explanation for the first person perspective. IвЂ™ll start with the good since thereвЂ™s so little of it. This took what might have been a cool idea of a story, combined it with an interesting first person twist and managed to turn out complete and utter crap At least Love & Monsters had oral sex with a slab of granite. This might be the single worst episode of New Who. Hey Who Back When! You ready to Rock thisвЂ¦.*sigh* Im sorry, I canвЂ™t even fake that level of enthusiasm for this episode. Rating: 1.8/5 grunts consumed by gross piles of sleep eye.

Was this not real? Were parts of it real? Which parts? IвЂ™m confused!.

We had far more effective test tube soldiers in The DoctorвЂ™s Daughter, which was set in an earlier time period Why is she attacking her own side and then cowering in a corner вЂ“ sheвЂ™s supposed to be a Terminator.

Why does Nagata speak in Geordie slang? Has Indo-Japan colonised Newcastle?.

WeвЂ™ve had better base-under-siege stories this series, let alone previous (where we care more about the suckers being bumped off).

Why have we never heard of these Sandmen again if this viral message is being spread across the galaxy?

So many attempt the shaky cam Blair Witch rip-off, and rarely is it any good.

That darn freaky finale вЂ“ the only moment I remembered from the original broadcast.

A few nice jump scares, particularly poor Deep-AndoвЂ™s demise вЂ“ just as he thought he was safe (sniff).

Morpheus вЂ“ the kind of shitty thing I suspect Amazon is already prepping for its workforce.

Yes, it has its flaws, but I think the twisting plot, found-footage element and brilliant direction give it a cold, atmospheric feel virtually unrivalled by any other story. On release, this episode was received very poorly, probably due to the aforementioned slow start and potential to feel gimmicky, and still maintains one of the lowest ratings on IMDB, but I think generally the fandomвЂ™s opinion of this story has grown over time. The performances for the most part are good, with Capaldi shining out as usual, while the guest cast are also acted well, but are unfortunately quite forgettable. In terms of the episode then, I think it is overall quite creepy and very atmospheric for Doctor Who, though it does undoubtedly suffer from some serious pacing issues (going from slow-motion tiptoe at the start to a haphazard sprint by the almost nonexistent conclusion). Sleep No More is an episode which certainly attempts to be creative вЂ“ the found footage element takes some adjusting but I think it fitted in well with and complimented the story tremendously. This is bravery unheard of in the modern age. It did make sense to him, somehow.ДЇinally, I would like to commend the episode for casting first ever transgender person on the show in a role of subhuman freak. And since it was the DoctorвЂ™s deduction, itвЂ™s hard to brush it away as a red herring. Why eye boogers though? I mean, sure, an alien signal that turns people into dust is all fine and good, but how is this connected to accelerated sleep? This somehow makes even less sense than DocвЂ™s deductions in Kill the Moon. Which is a shame because it tries (haphazardly) to do some genuinely inventive things with the found footage genre in the process, but lacks the ingenuity to make anything watchable out of it. Sleep No More is basically Mark GatissвЂ™ attempt at a found footage horror episode, which runs into the problems of having a fake-deep premise involving eye boogers metastasising into lumbering boogers monsters which are boring as shit, zero effective horror scenes, and only about 1 sort-of-memorable character.

The episode opens with a guy telling us to not watch it. And now there are eye-booger monsters roaming the space corridors, plotting to take over the space universe under the spell of the aforementioned mad space scientist, or so the episode claims, because what just happened?! Well, turns out the crewвЂ™s gone missing because they plopped inside the sleeping pods and were subsumed by the snoozie gunk in the corner of their eye.

You know how you really want to work even more, but all that pesky free time and sleep always get in the way? Well, not anymore, buddy, because in the far-flung future a mad scientist with corporate backing has invented a pod that packs all your snoozing needs into one stretch like that lady from the start of Amelie Poulain. Boom! First-person perspective cold open aboard a spaceship where the crewвЂ™s gone missing, Doc and Clara have turned up for no real reason, and so has a team of soldiers, of whom exactly one was genetically bred for soldiering - because thatвЂ™s what we do in the future, except for the entire rest of the teamвЂ¦ of soldiers.
