purplecat: The Tardis against a sunset (or possibly sunrise) (Doctor Who)
This was the first time I saw the kind of shape Moffat was trying to carve for Clara's character. I'm not sure it was for the season as such, having now seen the finale, but I think he's very clearly trying to set her up as someone who becomes like the Doctor, rather than someone who is inspired by the Doctor.

I'm just not sure this episode made that distinction )

Other than that I liked lots about Flatline. The monsters and their effects looked good (not something that can always be said for Doctor Who). The sight gags involving the tiny Doctor in the tiny Tardis were funny. There was an interesting sf-ish idea underlying the story but it wasn't allowed to take over. My second favourite episode of the season.
