8/10
Gaiman continues to impress with crazy, innovative plots

Warning: Spoilers
First, having written an episode as critically acclaimed as The Doctor's Wife, it can be hard on someone to match-up to it. Neil Gaiman took the challenge on, adding plenty of his trademark mind-blowing moments. I don't see why anyone should compare his previous episode with this one simply because they tackle two completely different aspects of the Doctor- the last one was his relationship with the TARDIS, this one is more about the complexities of his own mind (proving again that his worst enemy is himself).

Moving on, I think the best moment of the episode was the conflict between the Cyber Planner and the Doctor. Matt Smith carried-off the instantaneous switches in character brilliantly, though it did get a little tedious toward the end. We got to see a whole new side of Clara- that she is not just an adorable, clever person but also someone who can get things done if worked into a corner. As for the kids, there has been a lot of annoyance among the fans, but remember: they are just teenagers. A majority of teenagers are like that.
