But also, sometimes all we have are bad choices, but we still have to choose, as he told Clara once…  😉

Totally agree with you about testing Bill and also that something seems a bit ‘off’ with the Doctor.

That’s what I was getting at when I  posted earlier about the Doctor calling out to the  ‘appalling

hair girl’ !   Really?  Just doesn’t seem a Doctor-ish  thing to say and in fact  even maybe a bit Missy-ishy ?

Yes, I do feel making this particular villain attractive would have certainly helped with the overall theme, a showing of more resistance from humanity would have also given the me…[Read more]

Welcome. And a great post.

it just felt so overtly cruel

Yes, I agree. Which leads me on to @brewski:

A brilliant theory! Which would explain a lot about the downright weirdness of the Doctor at the moment.
