Doctor Who Series 8

[Epic B]

Great episode, but...

Spoiler

Wasn't The Master sucked back into Gallifrey in The End of Time?

I don't remember. Neither did I remember that spoiler tags still work here.

Final episode is an hour long special and is on at 8pm...

Been iPlayer watching the whole series, i'll write up a series review next week. I wonder if...

Spoiler

Clara will still be around next series? I hope not in all honesty.. this series has been primarily about her not the Doctor from my view.

That's a pretty good point you make there ^ but I have enjoyed the chemistry between the two this series and I think they work well together, but that said maybe it is time for a change...

Yeah, I kind of liked that bit from the new episode. And Clara confronting the Cybermen (and Cyberman!Danny) saying she's the Doctor was pretty cool. And it's apparent that Jenna Coleman is leaving the show.

And in less than two months' time, the Christmas special airs. Because those are a thing.

Also, Clara has what is clearly a Samsung Galaxy phone.

I don't even watch Doctor Who particularly regularly, but it was on last night, and I happened to watch the bit with Clara and the Cyberman's inhibitor. The interesting bit was that I happened to notice the music in the background sounded literally identical to the PS4's UI music...

Pretty good episode.
That moment when you realise that Amy and Rory turned into Cybermen.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Good episode but a bit underwhelming I thought, there was no real threat to the world when the Cybermen arrived, the Doctor seemed to have it under control..

So the Christmas episode then is called Last Christmas and it was confirmed this week that Jenna Coleman WILL NOT be leaving the show in this episode, but she will leave half way through the next series...

Spoiler

As one famous Japanese general once said (@haitch40) "Everything is a dream within a dream" - was this episodes theme. I think???

Standout thing about it was the line "Alien? You have a film called alien? No wonder everyone wants to invade you!". Other than totally meh for the most part. The dream aliens were kinda scary, and in a main series the kind of thing that would deserve a 2 parter, but otherwise, just no. Clunky and confusing. Moffat give Capaldi a damn good screenplay and more of a chance next series, because this was to me, poor.

However I hear Missy is back next series. Thank goodness, she was the one spark in 2014. Whatever you say of a female master, she sells the role brilliantly.

Mixed feelings on this episode, it had it's ups and downs.

I quite enjoyed it last night, Nick Frost was good...
