Moffat-Era
Tropes: Medical nanobots (or nanopeople and antibodies, here).
Ripping off the Troughton Era (here, “The Evil of the Daleks”).
Giving a Dalek or Cyberman a cutesy nickname. The Doctor and
companion sliding into a creature's digestive system. Clara talks the
Doctor out of a destructive frame of mind. The Doctor defeats
something by talking at it, and has a big exultant speech about how
beautiful and wonderful the universe is.

| The last time someone put a human in a Dalek it did not end well. |
A Thing in a
Thing: A group of humans in a Dalek.
The Doctor is A:
Good Dalek.
The Master Is A:
Tea-drinker and baking enthusiast.
Clara Lies About:
She's actually honest this episode. Enjoy it, it won't last.
Reasons Clara
Should Drop Danny Like A Hot Potato: He's only just appeared,
and he's already showing his colours as a passive-aggressive type
who's got way too many ambivalent issues about his military career.
Child Count:
Between 13 and 41 (we see 10 in the cadets' corps, 3 hanging around
the school office, 16 in Danny's classroom, 4 in the corridor before
Clara goes into the Tardis, and 8 when she emerges, but it's unclear
how much crossover there is between the groups).
The Thick of It:
“Am I a good man?” Possibly not.
It's Actually
About: How
hating something evil, doesn't make you good.
