What the hell did I just watch? What was the point of the episode if the Doctor and the Master are going to end up together at the end and she hands him power over the cybermen?
Um...that was Missy's plan...what's the point of any episode if something happens at the end. This is very similar to John Simm's Master where he really wanted to see that the Doctor wasn't that different to him.What was the point of getting on the plane if it gets destroyed a second later? Why try and kill the Doctor if the whole point is giving him an army? Was he supposed to die?
Oh...so they should have stayed on the plane the whole time? Whats the point of going to one place if they just go to another place later? They were on the plane for a good portion of the episode, no less than they were in other locations. Missy was playing with the doctor, she knows he could survive.Also why have a metal cyberman grow from nothing using the smallest piece of dna? What happens to disembodied arms? Does that become a cyberman as well? Does this also mean that factories are henceforth negated for making cybermen?
To be fair, there are organisms who can do this and regenerate their whole body after being cut up. Have to admit, I didn't really like this idea.Why say you've found Galifrey and then have the coordinates not lead there? Did she lie? But you said she didn't lie?
Yes...she lied, it was rather obvious from the Doctor's reaction that she lied, not everything has to be spoonfed to understand.Also, who actually remembered the master giving Clara a phone number or anything? Why did any of this matter? Most of this episode seemed to be people standing there and doing nothing nor advancing any plot at all.
Many remembered, I know I did, and if you didn't then that's why there was a flashback. This mattered because this is what caused Clara to meet the doctor. Why does Doctor Who have to be all action sequences? Some mature, chilling talking is just as effective, or emotional.Did missy die at the end? Did she teleport for no reason? But what did the Lethbridge Stewart do then? Did he fire an orgasm laser at her?
Who knows...that's the point. She probably did teleport but we don't know. This is reminiscent of old Doctor Who where the master died every single time and still came back. The Brigadier did fire...if it actually hit her or not we don't know, considering the light he fired was blue and her teleport, as seen in the episode, is blue.It's just so dumb. This is what happens when you write stories about the main characters who don't reveal anything at all. Literally everything in this story is told through exposition then it tries to fake out the audience by going "ha ha fooled you, my exposition wasn't true ha ha ha".
I don't really understand you here...I hate Moffatt. He can't write for crap any more. He can script an pre-established Sherlock Holmes story but he can't write properly.
I'm not a Moffat fan particularly since he took over as head writer but I think he's done some great episodes recently (50th anniversary, listen and this two parter). I enjoyed it Plus, that ending mid credits was so stupid it's like watching a Cbeebies show, jangling keys in the face of stupid children that find it entertaining.
To be fair, it was a fun little scene for the kids getting ready for Christmas, especially after the rather dark stories recently. It's not that different to David Tennant's little series epilogues.That was so dumb, I genuinely thought they were going to explore guilt and regret of killing people but then it turned out all you do is simply send them back to earth. Great job. Will the disabled character magically grow their abilities again instead of showing people coping with life?
It did explore that, the whole series has explored whether the doctor is a good man and what happens when you travel with him... Clara has really been changed by him. The dead (bar one) weren't sent back to earth...they died in the end, no return."Oh no? Done something wrong with your life? Well let's just hit the undo button, that's the only solution we can think of"
Where was the undo button in this episode? Doesn't help Danny is a complete idiot for working with the Doctor instead using his common sense and punch him in the face for being a complete idiot about him and being pointlessly insensitive.
Danny didn't work with the doctor, he spent a good amount of episodes showing Clara what sort of man he is...very clearly not really liking the doctor.
