Count me in among the confused. I don't like that the Doctor suddenly doesn't seem to give a shit about people, just beating whoever the MOTW is. And WTF was up with Clara lying about what Danny said? That struck me as another Amy-leaving-Rory-the-night-before-her-wedding plotline. I don't get the appeal of Danny, but I'm not really getting the appeal of noodling around the universe with the Doctor ATM, either.
Shouldn't the Doctor be turning into the Valeyard somewhere around now? Not that Moffatt gives a tinker's dam about classic Who, continuity...y'know, unimportant stuff like that. :\
And I definitely agree that the style of the Orient Express was awesome (the Titanic and now the Orient Express, huh?) and the Forsworn was a neat MOTW (I always like it when the villain turns out to be a victim, too). And was that Roger Allam as the voice of "Gus"? I meant to check the credits but forgot. (ETA: Nope, not him.)
I don't know. I just can't get a bead on what the heck they're trying to do with the Doctor and Clara. But so far, it's turning me off. And I love Peter Capaldi, so don't do this to me, show!
