I liked this episode, and judging by the reactions on twitter it is a divisive one too. I liked it because it sets up the next two parts of this three part monk story well. It introduces us to the monks, tells us what they want to do and gives us an entertaining story for this first part.
People have been saying that it's confusing, but it really isn't! These powerful aliens want to invade Earth but to make sure they do it properly they create a simulated world with simulated people who believe they are real to practice on. The simulated people find out they are simulations because of the Veritas and the simulated Doctor warns the real one of their planned invasion, leading into next week.
Simple really.
People aren't understanding it so are saying it's bad, it's really not! It was clever, funny, scary and a load of fun. Maybe give it a re- watch if you didn't follow it. Remember this is the first of three parts, you shouldn't be told everything straight away, there's no fun in that.
Also, people arguing about Missy in the Vault saying it's too predictable, get over yourselves. There is a reason it was revealed in episode 6, not 12 - because it wasn't meant to be a big reveal!
Ah well, you can't please everyone, especially if it's the Doctor Who fan base.
