Yeah, I was hoping for some kind of Egyptian themed episode. :-( One for the future, perhaps...
I enjoyed it, on the whole. Not really sure why it's so divisive. It's certainly a bit of an unusual episode in Doctor Who terms, and a massive change of pace from last week's ep (space-travelling moped not-withstanding), but I'm not sure why that should be a bad thing.
The past episode that this one most reminded me of was The Doctor Dances, simply because I got a vague "just this once, nobody dies" vibe. Could be wrong about that, but apart from Clara's mum (but only reported, in flashback) and the parasite itself, I don't think there were any deaths?
