      The entity learnt everything it knew from the people it met which begs the question was it infact the humans decision to throw sky and the doctor out that taught the creature that it should kill. Like you say the humans were the real monsters in this story not the entity.

    This is easily my favourite episode of all of Doctor Who. It was the scariest episode in my opinion, not just because we didn't know what the monster/alien was, but because it really showed how humankind reacts to danger. Our strongest instinct is survival and if we feel that it might be threatened, we would start killing anything that could represent any potential danger. In this case, it was the alien inside Sky and then it was the Doctor. Also, it was truly terrifying to see the Doctor in that situation. He was completely alone with no companion or any ally. He lost control of his own speech and body and became completely helpless as that creature violated his mind, and then was dragged and almost thrown out to his inevitable death by the very people he'd saved and risked his life hundreds of times for. So I applaud everyone who's worked on it for delivering such a strong and terrifying story.

    I have to say that this episode's script and performances were immaculate. I don't think I've ever seen a Doctor Who story with such a strong core cast of characters. The fact that in a 45-minute episode, you can look at any character and get a real sense of who they are is amazing. They are all so unique in how they react to the situation and the way they interact and feed off one another's energy feels incredibly raw and authentic.

And it's got no monsters, no fancy special effects, not even much of a gigantic spacey planet, no alien race (other than the Doctor) - and yet it's gnuinely awe-some. The incredible suspense created by the actors and the script - no wonder I got hooked after this.

It may be science fiction, but the way everyone reacts to these situations and how they planned on dealing with them while the Doctor tries to keep everyone calm is so realistic and all done in a single location, and at no point does it ever get boring.

    this is one of my favorite Tennant's Doctor Who episodes besides Blink, because it shows how, despite having control over the whole of space and time, with all of his cleverness and skills and gadgets, there are still things that The Doctor is powerless against; and it's amazing to watch what that feeling is doing to him psychologically. This episode is simple yet brilliant, and the Doctor will never be the same again after this.

Flipping pioneers and perfectionists.

    The entity learnt everything it knew from the people it met which begs the question was it infact the humans decision to throw Sky and the Doctor out that taught the creature that it should kill. The humans were the real monsters in this story not the entity.
