SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

@missrori— I agree with you and @pedant that the Hybrid is a concept that’s done and dusted. I’m always slightly bemused when this keeps coming up as I think it was pretty clearly dealt with in Hell Bent. I suspect it’s because it’s such a grand phrase that evokes such a lot in the Whovian imagination that it’s hard to let of and accept the…[Read more]

@MissRori

The TARDIS seems to know where everyone and everything must end up, it seems.

Oh can everyone stop taking this so fucking literally. When Sexy said it it was a little brag, more for the polemic poetry than the mechanics. Almost as bad as the literal reading of River and The Doctor “meeting in reverse”. Never. Meant. Literally.

And the…[Read more]

Maybe it’s a Time Lord thing.

Unlikely, as traditionally, the Master has been bearded (Roger Delgado, Anthony Ainley, and now John Simm).

I have the feeling that the Doctor’s hair was designed to look strange, and I am attracted to @brewski‘s theory that it is the Simm Master in disguise.

@MissRori

end the Twelfth Doctor’s story (and the Moff era of the show)

Neither of these are next week.

@missrori  (Bill)  She freely made the choice to help the Doctor and knew the risks.

But *did* she know the risks?  As far as we’ve seen, she still doesn’t know what a regeneration is, does she?

[Of Razor]  He teaches her to settle for less, to not be so curious, and soon she’s mopping the floors and no longer treating the world around her as a…[Read more]

@thane15 Oh yeah, I get you!

I really must watch this episode again to fully absorb it. (Have I mentioned that I loathe the commercial interruptions on the Space Channel? Yes, I have. And I do.)

One thing that struck me is that Bill’s fate is very much what I’d imagined for Clara, before we discovered what her true destiny was to be. I thought…[Read more]

@missrori and @brewski — the Missy as Doc regenerating theory is not mine I hasten to add but think I saw it over on the Graun. I just thought it was interesting and chimes with how SM teasers have worked in the past — what we think we are seeing is not what we are seeing at all.

Personally, I don’t think it’s going to go that way. It’s too…[Read more]

Tend to agree with @Nick that the way Clara’s death was presented in Face the Raven made it clear (at least to me) that she wasn’t dead, or at least not in the sense of an absolute end, taking no further part in the series. Bill’s ‘demise’ seems different to me in that regard, The mise en scene presents it with significance, finality, that…[Read more]

@missrori. I think many people are crying right now tonight…

Not now, but I was.

Missy

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

@missrori  Malcolm’s cussing,

Yep — that’s the bravado of the gifted outsider who lives by his wits, the exasperated incomer from the sticks trying to herd a bunch of stupid, posh housecats to political victory.  But he’s the one who winds up holding the bag, to be packed off to prison.  Brilliant.

@thane 15  @missrori  That’s an interest…[Read more]

@missrori

The Doctor would have to remove the cyber-control system and the emotion limitation technology for Bill to become Cyber-Bill. The patients didnt seem to find that very acceptable. However, it would be ok if the Cyber-conversion was removed totally and a replacement heart/lung technology (or cloning) was used to repair her physically. I…[Read more]

@nick

Yes – the 50th anniversary multi Doctor out of time alteration stuff.

So new bonkers theory is that since they are near the black hole and there are so

many versions of time occurring at the ‘same time’  then maybe this could

mean that Missy doesn’t recall these events in a normal time sequence?

Its another/new revision of the events?  …[Read more]

@missrori

I’m not much into the blame game line of thinking, but

Also, with regards to the Doctor and Bill, I’m tired of all these folks elsewhere saying that it’s all his fault!  

in this case, he does have the majority of the responsibility.

• It was his idea to let it be the Missy Who show as opposed his
• Bill told him her very sign…

Don’t lose track of where spoilers should go. Even Moff-approved spoilers.

I read a comment elsewhere about how a viewer’s kids are heartbroken by Bill becoming a Cyberman.

Good. That is Who doing its job. If it isn’t traumatising 7-year-olds it is failing.
