True!
But I don’t remember.. Does actually marries her?
Haha, my bad! I meant her grandmother!
Great point!
The Brigadier and Danny were ‘soldiers’ that held their promises till the end. No matter how much there were absorbed into darkness. This was important to solve Doctor’s identity crisis: Good, bad, hero, president…
When he finnaly realises that he is an idiot with his blue box, I think he meant that he is “only” The Doctor.
Well, it doesn’t seem to be a genius conclusion. However, it really is.
After receiving a new life cycle, the 12 Doctor starts confronting himself about his nature and his role in the universe as he spent his last 300 years in Trenzalore battlefields.
When he realises that it’s all about being The Doctor, he evokes this 11th Doctor’s statement: “The name I chose was the Doctor. It’s like a promise you make”.
Season 8 is all about 12th Doctor being the same Doctor that he used to be (the same goes to Capaldi).
What an incredible episode!
Fantastic!
I think most of you have already exposed thoughts similar to mine, but I will note them:
1. Missy is not dead.
– Well, she should regenerate, no?
– Nobody explains how she returned.
2. Danny’s return is irrelevant.
– Presuming Clara is pregnant, doesn’t matter if he returns or not. Their faily line is granted.
3. Gallifrey stills lost.
– Now the Doctor’s identity crise is gone, he can focus on the main problem: Where is Gallifrey?
4. In the next season, we will have more about Doctor’s past.
– Listen episode: it is shown his childhood.
– Death in Heaven: Clara talks a lot about Doctor’s past:
Four wives:
– Queen Elizabeth (Dead)
– River Song (Dead?)
– Susan’s mother. (?)
– Unknown. (?)
Children:
– Mostly unknown. One of them, Susan’s parent. (?)
Clone children:
– Jenny. (?)
Grandchildren:
– Susan. Any other? (?)
5. Clara will return.
– She has her own quest. Bring the undead boy to his parents.
– Most probably she’s pregnant.
Sorry, gentlemen, I didn’t read everything posted here.
I enjoyed the episode, but I got a little disppointed with Missy/Mistress/Master plot. Well, I find way too obvious, I was really expecting something like Rani or Romana…
There is a possibilty of a plot twist which could be any of those Time Ladys lying about their true identity (Who am I fooling? haha).
