The character (Doctor's Son) is captivating & intense, but even when he appears to have ice running through his veins you also see moments of vulnerability & heart. I like him and I want good things for him, though this is probably just wishful thinking on my part.

Bone-chilling episode with lots of action! Now it should be very interesting to see how the story develops after this.
