4. Debit: The Pacing
Timing is everything. The director, in a true act of heroism, tried to keep things moving along. The plot, however, brought things to a shuddering, groaning stop every time the story picked up the least amount of speed. The scene where our intrepid band of bank robbers separates and runs from the Teller is much too long, and brings the middle of the episode down to a crawl. Is there a recurring theme of thievery this series? In this episode were robbing a bank. Deep Breath featured a robot who stole human parts. Robot of Sherwood is centered on the greatest thief of myth and legend. Missy keeps popping up and stealing people off to heaven. The Doctor ahem - acquired a TARDIS. Steven Moffat is famous for his red herrings of course but its interesting to speculate if there is some sort of connection.
