Finally, A Good Capaldi Doctor Who Episode

Capaldi, like Christopher Eccleston, is way better of an actor than Doctor Who needs, so sometimes they can make it seem too easy or too weightless even when they completely own the role.  This bank episode was a nice balance, though.  The plot was pretty meaningless, but Capaldi was in a groove, and the entire thing worked well and went down easy.  The "Shutity up up up" riff was a nice wink to Malcolm Tucker.  Capaldi has The Doctor sorted, so now I guess we have to see if the rest of the team can get Doctor Who working well.
