Another great episode, so much to think about. I’ve only done 1 viewing so don’t want to comment yet. The things that I noted on my 1st watch have already been brought up.

@Juniperfish I agree, it was really creepy to see Clara inside the Dalek. Took a while for the penny to drop with the Doctor that Clara was inside the Dalek.

@Phaseshift I li…[Read more]

Well, rewatch done and still feeling exhilarated by it. @JanetteB sorry you didn’t hook into this one so much – maybe a rewatch will improve it. I think the “mercy” thing is always there in the Daleks  – the Doctor realises he has to go back to young Davros to close the loop by implanting the concept.  And presumably always did.  The war da…[Read more]

I didn’t really enjoy tonight’s episode as much as last weeks, but maybe that was just me. The actors were all on top form and there were some great lines. For once I was half right as opposed to completely wrong. I expected that killing the handmines would re write time. The exchange between the Doctor and DAvros was so well done. The echoing of…[Read more]

@Phaseshift and @Juniperfish

Well, if we’re going to have ‘Doctor Who: The Musical’, then we must, absolutely must, have a cover of this song by the Simm Master’s favourite band.

Come to think of it, that song may have been in his thoughts when he regenerated as Missy… 😉

I had Paul Simon’s “Still Crazy After All These Years” playing in my head as Davros and the Doctor got the giggles together (really loved that part). Then Davro’s line “Am I a good man?” held up a mirror, re the Doctor’s own line to Clara last series and the chill was back.

If Who ever does a musical episode (oh go on, please) Davros and the Do…[Read more]

@Phaseshift

The Master had a daughter. That’s new. Let’s add her to the list for random speculation over the identity of female guest stars. The SusanRomanaJennyRiver calls need more variety.

Haha.

Assuming Missy’s telling the truth of course.

And… we’ve all assumed the Doctor left cos the Timelords were stuffy… the 60s counter culture and…[Read more]

@Phaseshift – I completely agree with you. With Sonic Youth I always feel like I *should* like them (more than I usually do) though for every album there’s usually one or two fantastic tracks.
Same with Beastie Boys – at first I thought how dumb/crude (VW signs on neck chains etc etc). Then….. well the more I heard the more I liked. And they…[Read more]

@PaperMoon

Davros wants to return the favour and save the Doctor from the Daleks… interesting! I like it!

@Phaseshift – Thanks for being our DW encyclopedia as ever. And thanks to you and @Bluesqueakpip re Sarff = snakes (and for the nest of vipers pun).

(And yes you’re right – I’m catching up with the posts backwards.. time travelling 😉 )

@Phaseshift – thanks for the additional info. And laughed at the CUSM video. here’s hoping!

Thanks also to @TheKrynoidMan – loving your Beach Boys posts. Great band

@phaseshift

Thanks for that. I was beginning to think I was invisible. *big smile*

I did see that there was a concert of sorts at Wimbledon, and I did manage to go to the one here in Perth WA

It was well done, but not the same. Ben foster conducted, the Tardis was there, Daleks, Cybermen, the ood etc.

Cheers,

Missy

I’m assuming that the Prologue will be on the Series nine box set.

@phaseshift Tommy cooper, brilliant magician and comedian. Loved him. Also many thanks for the ‘Doctor’s Mediatation’

I am so glad that I found this forum. Roll on Sunday.

Cheers

Missy

Thanks for posting the Doctor’s Meditation @Phaseshift.  Missed it completely. A nice bit of (mostly) fun – poor Bors. But it was nice to see a bit more of him.

@PhaseShift   I noticed that revisiting of old eras but hadn’t thought of it in relation to the 10th anniversary. It’s nice to think we might see a bit more of that, I like little things that help us hang the whole of Who together into one world.
Especially the human infatuation with sex, which may as well be some sort of slap in the face to a c…[Read more]

Time Lord

Yes, it did take a little time *no pun intended* to get there, but my gawd, what a journey!

My jaw hit the keyboard when the boy said his name. That’s SM for you, always the unexpected.

Missy was fantastic, she has super lines and delivers them to perfection.

Roll on next week.

Missy

@Phaseshift yes all those intro threads are interesting. The Maldovarium is a Star Wars tribute, from beginning to end, as has been pointed out before, so perhaps <laughs> this is the Who version of “Did Solo or Greedo shoot first?”

The Doctor sending his last will and testament to Missy  (and Clara fully expecting it to be for her) was perhaps…[Read more]

thank you for the link @phaseshift. I had forgotten that there was to be another minisode so was pleasantly surprised when I saw it. Also nice to see Caerphilly without CGI extras or fog. (The first time I visited it was shrouded in fog. All we saw was the moat.) Loved the reference to the Visitors’ Centre. Somehow it made the present seem…[Read more]

@phaseshift *SPOILERS* Well, Clara has been confirmed to be leaving this series, so it’s really fitting!

@PhaseShift SPOILERS!!!!!!!! 🙂

Regarding the, um, spoilergate issue, I personally share @Phaseshift‘s view. This is the kind of thing that really isn’t so much a spoiler as it is news. I was annoyed a couple of days ago, after being warned away from the Guardian site, when a couple of random comments here gave me a big clue as to what was being said, but once I realized that it…[Read more]
