Doctor Who - Series 8 Thread.

[Stephen]

that episode was really bad

[Red]

deffo the worst episode so far! Next weeks looks good though.

[God]

This was a really good Episode. I enjoyed it and its story. Kinda pissed at Clara for being so rude.

[peteyt]

The fact the moon was an egg was odd but I loved the fact the doctor left. Matt Smith would have been there to hold Clara's hand so it really shows the difference.

[Red]

Are you my mummy haha. One of my fave episodes, was really fun. Loved the flapper dresses and foxes singing don't stop me now! The kitchen boy's death scared me lmao

[Chris]

Really enjoyed the episode! I tend to enjoy these simple episodes more than the complex ones that we've had in the past.

[peteyt]

Another good one. Wonder if the person behind it will be in the finale

[sexpot]

Deffo a filler episode, but I thought it was decent nonetheless.

[Inseriousity.]

just watched it, was too distracted with that damn addictive game to watch it on saturday. so so good. dr who as it used to be before moffat got ridiculous with his overhyped complex plot lines and "twists": interesting doctor/companion convos or dilemma, good side-characters, great monster of the week. :D

[peteyt]

One thing i forgot to add is the episode showed the one thing we don't get enough of - the doctor having to think and work things out. Yeah it happens, but we often get him using stupid ways out it was good to think him close to dying working everything out

[peteyt]

Last episode was decent and loved Capaldi's speech at the end. Preferred last weeks though

[Chris]

I really enjoyed the last episode. For me I think it has to be my favourite of this series so far!

[Chippiewill]

Terrible from beginning to end. I feel bad that the writer had to go after the previous two amazing episodes.

[peteyt]

Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be

[davecool656]

i didnt like the last episode but from the trailer for the next one looks really good

[peteyt]

What did people think of the reveal. I liked the Matrix being in - was used a few times in classic who

[dbgtz]

Spoilers ahead
I enjoyed the episode. Still unsure about the inclusion of a female master, though. I feel like it was just to appease those calling for a female doctor... She did the role well (arguably as well as Simm did), but why did she have to randomly snog him at one point? It was so boring, out of character and contributed nothing to the overall story. So basically, I'm worried "The Master" will become an evil Martha Jones.

[sexpot]

I'm not sold on the idea of a female master either.. I agree with what Thomas said about it just appeasing those who wanted a female Doctor

[peteyt]

Finale was a bit mixed for me some good moments but some I'm not sure about. I loved the first part of the finale just thought the second didn't fully deliver.

Him not finding Gallifrey and getting angry though was great

[lawrawrrr]

I LOVED THE FINALE SO MUCH I CRIED 3 TIMESS

it completely took me by surprise when the Cyberman at the end was revealed to be the Brigadier, made me completely burst into tears the second I saw it!!

[David]

nick frost tho
should have asked him for a cornetto

[Chris]

It was a good episode but I felt a bit let down by the end.

I was kind of expecting to see that Missy survived or some sort of twist around the character. From what I can tell, she was disintegrated by the cyberman. :(

The others were vapourized with a red blaze though won't they, hers was blue! I think it was a last minute teleport!!

[Chris]

Yeah but I thought the cyberman shot her? Arent the cyberman bullets blue? Also on topic of the cybermen, I really don't like the voice they have now.

Wasn't it supposed to be that device thing the doctor was holding? im so confused

[Empired]

Infinitely better than the last series, however I felt a bit let down by this episode. Most of the other eps this series have been on point but I felt this one was just kinda missing something..

Plus:
I got very confused as to whether we were in the 'afterlife' or in the real world. Did they become one? If so, when? Was it when the clouds burst through?

I have other points & questions but I'm too tired to write them down

[xxMATTGxx]

The Doctor was going to do it but instead a Cyberman shot her instead. That's why the Doctor turns around and sees the Cyberman there and then they point to the direction of the other woman (I forgot her name)

[Aiden]

My least fav episode of the season/series

[Inseriousity.]

I enjoyed this episode. Was really good and I think a large part of that is cos Missy was so good! It's been a while since we've had a villain where people were actually in danger rather than 'EVERYBODY LIVES' that started getting more frequent (even if Kate was saved at the end, I'll let them off with that cos I like her and I liked his salute).

I too thought it looked like a teleport or maybe I was just hoping it was a teleport! Would be a shame to turn the Master into a woman with a great actress then throw it away at the first opportunity.

[dbgtz]

The Master is obviously not dead so I'm not particularly let down by that. She did a good job and I wouldn't be sad to see her come back sometime in the future. The episode was pretty good, it took me a while to get used to Cybermen rising from the graves but it made sense in a sci-fi universe which is fine. The one thing that let me down was how little they seemed to be used, even if did fit the plot. To be honest, I'm just sad I didn't get to see any old Cyberman other than the head :(.

Biggest shock in the episode was using the clip from series 4 lmao.

[lawrawrrr]

OH I SEE that makes sense

I'm rewatching it with my housemate sometime this week I think so will pay closer attention LMAO

[Kardan]

An awful episode. No real plot line. So cringey. Glad Clara is gone though. Christmas episode looks just as bad sadly.

I hate to break it to you, but Clara is in the Christmas special. :P

[James]

Was it just me who realised at the end, like the very final scene where clara walks down the road... she leaves the child inside the building where they spoke?

Where? I don't remember seeing him the cafe place with Clara and the Doctor if that's what you mean

[James]

Turns out im blind. I just rewatched the café bit and didnt see him either, woops. I thought it was him sat at the next table but it was a random man. Nevermind

[Empired]

Dolphins;

Wasn't he supposed to go back to his parents? I thought clara was supposed to be helping him with that.

[James]

I thought that. But we saw absolutely no evidence of her flying over to afghanistan (or wherever Danny was fighting) to deliver him. I assume they didnt think that bit was important enough to film.

Yeah I was discussing with my mum and I thought that was a bit of a letdown tbh. Especially after they made such a to do out of him for the rest of this two-parter :/

[Red]

After hating season 6, and feeling meh about 7, I've loved every episode of this one. I much prefer Peter and I will really miss Clara but glad she is gonna be in christmas special, if only to see what she is wearing (H). The cafe scene exchange made me so emotional. Missy was brilliant. She can't be gone!!!!! If she is that is such a big waste. I hope Clara is pregnant.

Don't get me wrong, I loved the episode, but this particular part was a bit disappointing.

[Kardan]

Just like Matt Smith was in the 1st and last episodes of this season? :P

[Kyle]

All getting a bit predictable. Gallifrey was there, the master didn't die, her device was a teleport not a vapouriser, etc etc etc. still repeating storylines from previous seasons isee. Danny and Clara is exactly Rory and amy. It's either a huge coincidence, poor writing , or some kind of elaborate storyline that's repeating over and over in the doctors head with different characters.

When is the new series

Gallifrey wasn't there... But yeah, they obviously didn't kill off The Master but at least it's ambiguous for some. And if you paid attention, no they're not. They only thing similar is Amy and Clara both seemed to have some kind of special quality which makes sense in for Clara but it was fiddly as **** for Amy. I'd argue Danny and Clara are more like Mickey and Rose :P

Yeah the whole point was Gallifrey was not there. I think it's implying that Missy lied right to the end, though it could have been she was wrong i'm not sure. Watching Doctor Who Extra it seems that her device was actually a vapouriser as Moffat wanted at least one well-liked character to die to make people see Missy as evil.

I agree that Missy almost definitely didn't die though. She probably got teleported or something.

[davecool656]

last episode was really good. is it bad that I miss Missy? cont wait till christmas episode

Everybody lied.

Missy lied to the Doctor.
The Doctor lied to Clara.
Clara lied to the Doctor.

That Clara/Doctor double lie made me so angry but yeah :'( They all lied

The difference is that Rory and Amy worked most of the time even if Rory seemed a little underused. The relationship between Clara and Danny felt forced to me.

[James]

When is the next series?

[sexpot]

When is the next series?

August 2015, it seems

[peteyt]

Apparently Missy will be returning and in the finale two versions were recorded with missy revealing to be the Rani in one of them in case the public heard the reveal

[dbgtz]

Kind of makes sense. Isn't the next series supposed to be about Gallifrey?

[peteyt]

I hope so. There's so much stuff they can do with Gallifrey returning. When Moffat said series 8 was going to be a game changer I thought Gallifrey was going to return in the series but I suppose Capaldi needed to settle in first

Yeah that's what I heard too but then Matt left too early? I might have read that here actually haha. Time will tell :P
