Plot holes? Plot holes.
I am only a new series fan, so forgive me if I am missing some key stuff from classic doctor who regarding my comments on the Master.
The Master was “killed” with a blast from a Cyberman. Unless the Master was expecting to get blasted by a Cyberman and took some precaution to prevent her death (ie. teleportation) then the blast was meant to kill her. If she died, being the master, she’d regenerate. The doctor completely ignores this, and the fact that the body just disappears suggests it wasn’t a death at all right?
Second plot hole. Danny comes back even though they don’t show it? I mean maybe he is dead for good, it’s possible. But if he is dead for good then that means Clara is pregnant. Has anyone else thought of that? Clara and the doctor met Danny’s progeny with the toy soldier and the family history of time travel. Is this the whole time can be re-written, and even though she met him he never will exist because Danny died as a result of a mundane traffic accident?
I’m choosing to like this Doctor because I never cared for the Matt Smith doctor (even though I think he got some of the best writing) I like the fact that Moffat hinted at this bigger story arc with Missy, like the bad wolf plot. I just love that stuff. But I feel like the stories are a bit messy. And there is a definite unease with this doctor because I’m constantly questioning if he is “a good man”. Does he care about others? Is he capable of saving the day? I know he cares, but he really doesn’t look like he does. He is not the raggity-man he is the crochity-old-man. It also feels like he solves more problems by accident with no real intent. This doctor feels out of control and I am choosing to like that, even though it gives me a feeling of unease.
Also, can I just say it kills me how the show continually destroys some of the best potential companions? Osgood. Capaldi casually drops the “all of time and space?” and next thing you know… ZAP! I was also a fan of Astrid Peth.
