At the end of the episode, I was left going "is that it then?" I just felt that everything was underused. Jack filming them as they came out of the screen and then running after the Ghost Maker guy and filming him and then all of them disappearing seemed too... easy, especially given the number of people they managed to kill off. It felt kind of like an anti-climax, to be honest.
I think it might have worked better as a double episode sort of thing, with the opportunity for the slow build-up to become a big climax, rather than a short one crammed in because there wasn't enough time. I certainly wouldn't have minded some flashbacks to maybe Jack's time in a travelling show, and also maybe a little more about the Night Travellers themselves. While obviously to give it all away wouldn't have worked in the context of the episode, I feel that a little more information/exposition wouldn't have hurt anyone!
It was a great idea, but sadly not really played out to its full potential.
