He correctly identified a human female!Basically this. Strax was amazing as always.
If anyone can, it's children. And we don't know how much time they've had to get used to the idea.It seemed so contrived and fake; how on earth would the kids be able to automatically put two and two together without going into disbelief? If that had actually happened, they would have been less confrontational and more inquisitive. No one can just look at those pictures and just simply accept that they are the result of time travel.
I don't know about the characters themselves, but it was kind of awkward to have all three crammed into an episode that didn't have a particularly threatening villain. The Doctor's side seemed a bit overpowered for once, and I'd say it hurt the episode.Those three side characters seem pretty strained as well imo.
I realize this is just my opinion, and some people are saying that this whole season has been bad, but I think it started strong and has been getting worse over time. IMO the first two episodes of the season were great, and most of the bad ones (including Crimson Horror) have been in the second half. It's a weird trend, and overall I'd say there have been more bad episodes than usual. I'm optimistic about the last two though. Gaiman certainly delivered last time, and I trust Moffat to at least make the finale interesting.
