@missrori  Ha!  Kindred spirit here.  Lots of ’em, I think.  I really enjoyed “Robot of Sherwood”, myself, still don’t get what all that grousing was about afterward.

I came back for Capaldi because of TToI, really — loved that show for its snarling cynicism, and its subtle heart.  So I came to see what this guy could do with the Doctor, and…[Read more]

@janetteb  I wonder if Nardole has a bigger role to play. The Doctor brought him back to life possibly using some of his own regeneration energy. Is Nardole actually some kind of splinter Doctor, the shadow Doctor, created to be a kind of external conscience?

Oh, that’s tasty!

@nerys  @blenkinsopthebrave  Agreed; self-doubt rooted in a lively self-awareness that I don’t recall seeing much of in previous AG Doctors.  I get the sense of a very complex and sensitive subjectivity in this Doctor, and that’s part of both the hesitance and the impulsiveness that I see there.

🙂 tell me that when you’ve seen the episode (I guess you wont get the chance until tomorrow ?)

@missrori

Whilst you’re right about the Doctor and appearances, living as an (emotional) Cyberman is a a long way from living imo. I don’t think Moff would deliver that.

@missrori @nick

It is fixed in the way that the universe sees it to be fixed. As far as the universe was concerned the Doctor died at Lake Silencio. We know the truth is a tad more complex (ie it was the idea of the Doctor as superhero that died).

I wonder if regeneration energy cures cyberisation.

@missrori

I suppose ultimately, a point is only fixed if Moff wants it to be. I dont know if Bill survives, but since the closing scene was a tear from her eye, then it’s clear that she is still in there underneath the conversion. There is some hope then. Having written that, unlike the Raven ,where the episode never felt epic enough for me ti…[Read more]

@missrori;

Thank you.  I feel a bit daft, it’s only make believe, but this Doctor, Missy and the stories have really got under my skin

Not looking forward to the final two episodes.

Missy

@missrori:

Yes, well said. Davros told him that his compassion would kill him one day.

@ichabod:

Being a cynic, I’ve never admired the human race, but admit there are exceptions.

Missy

@missrori  Well put, and you’re right.  Given a choice, he’d refuse to lose what he’s learned while wandering the universe with our company.  I’m just not feeling very — admiring of us right now.

Although new human heroes are definitely in the making as we speak; the times demand them.
