I can't even remember what last weeks was about.

I'm still playing catch up here.. weeks behind, so I'm not sure what episode you're talking about, fluffs..   I have to say, (i've not read the whole thread) that the first few episodes left me cold.   Don't get me wrong - I love Peter Capaldi, but I think the storylines were just.. meh!    I've just watched 'The Caretaker' - and I'm properly back on board... really enjoyed it. 

The title of tonight's episode may be a reference to William Blake's poem Tyger Tyger burning bright:

Off-hand, I think it's the next episode I was referring to (after The Caretaker)

Loved tonight's episode. Proper DR Who?

Who bumped it?

It's taken a while, but I liked that one. Loved the reveal and twist (I try to avoid spoilers on the Internet) so I did not know about "Missy".

Some nice dark moments slotted in.

No, I didn't know about Missy either!

I'm up to date with them all. .still hoping a storyline will engage me.. no idea if the writing team have changed but there is no connection between the characters to carry me from episode to episode...  that would usually keep me watching even if there was the odd dodgy storyline in an episode. . 

Also, I  have watched last nights and have no idea who Missy is...

Must have been so good it fried my brain with the excellence of it

Olls Get yourself on iplayer and watch the last five minutes again! 

I absolutely bloody LOVED this episode! I do hope next weeks is as good....finish on a high and all that. 

It has to be Ducky. I'll be so disappointed if it goes out like a damp squib!

Cybermen are almost, almost as good as darleks   and I loved Missy 

nooooooooooooo  just tell me pleeeeeease... I've completely forgotten what it was all about now anyway.. but I need to know who missy is

Used to be of the opposite sex and was played by Roger Delgado and John Simm, to name but two....

That's what I don't like about Dr. Who. She must be the Master, but it makes no sense. I'm trying to stick with the new series but it's hard work and I like the new Dr. less and less. He doesn't seem to realise that he's gone through a change physically but is still the Dr.

Maybe that's how it's being written....that he's taking some time to come to terms with who he now is and yet is still the same person!

Tbh.... as much as I'm enjoying it now, I still have to work hard to like him. It doesn't come naturally. I have to concentrate. I find the way he insults Clara all the time highly amusing .... but I'm still missing the excitable, enthusiastic doctor. 

I'm hoping we get an explanation next episode, but it may be wise not to hope for too much  

I'm still completely confuddled...  are we talking about the woman who pretended to be an android but wasn't?

maybe the next episode will make it clearer altho the tone of this whole serious has been completely confusing  and crap stories to boot.. [sack this writing team]  not getting any gelling with the characters either this series either on screen or personally..

ps who is the Master?

Not sure I really understand Dr Who

A heads-up for the final episode "Death in Heaven" on Saturday:

It will be an hour long, and starts at the earlier time of 8pm...

The Master is a renegade Time-Lord and the Doctor's arch-enemy. Roger Delgado

 was the first actor to play him ( Jan '71 to Mar '73) and John Simm

  was the last MALE actor to play him,(June 2007 to Jan 2010)

ah ok cheers for that

Still no idea who Missy is

Just a female incarnation of The Master - or so we are told for now.

oh, right, thanks.. . this series is clear as mud then

Last one.

I AM disappointed. It WAS a bit of a damp squib!

Mr Pink once again became a soldier and righted a wrong. Clara and the Doctor told each other porkies, Father Christmas made an appearance appropriately for the Christmas episode and The Master Missy more than likely escaped rather than being turned into atoms by Lethbridge Stewart who in turn got his salute from the Doctor.

Was that a brief homage to The Twilight Zone? The Cyberman on the outside of the aeroplane?

Well how infuriating! Last weeks was full on exceptional, only to be followed by this ....this..... thing. 

I hated the new series at the beginning.....loved it SO much in the middle .... but this episode was enough to put me off for life  (or at least till Christmas ) 

Some of the lines of dialogue actually made me cringe. There has probably been plenty of cringy dialogue in the past as well to be fair, but David and Matt could always make me believe in the sincerity of every cringy line. I just don't think Peter Capaldi can quite pull it off. He's good. Really really good on occasion, but I think you probably need to exceptional to pull off the "love will save the world" cringy stuff.  

And for the record,  Danny Pink sucks. I've never cared so little about a main character being cyber-manned. 

I still cried buckets when the Doc and Clara lied to each other though. And Missy was AMAZING!  

Me too!! It was so sweet and yet so wrong! i actually cried and had my lot looking at me like wtf?!? for a minute until Santa Nick Frost rocked to save my soppy ass

I thought tonight was Fanbloodytastic!! I have only one question and i was slightly disappointed that i guessed what was coming a lot of the time BUT I thought the whole thing was fab!

My question (haven't read recent comments sorry) Why did Danny not move when Missy was commanding her army?

I'm thinking it was a result of a sonic setting to let him tap into the plan but retain a par of himself too

The Inhibiter in his chest wasn't switched on.

You're thinking of the classic episode "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet", but that was based on the myth of gremlins sabotaging aircraft, which is much older:

Was the cyberman at the end the Brigadier from 70s version? 

Yes, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart who use to be played by the late Nicholas Courtney. The Brigadier's daughter is Kate.

Well this series confused me more than ever. .I thought it was a load of rubbish and even that they edited out some scenes so it just jumped from one thing to another. .half the time I had no idea what they were talking about.

Get a new writing team for the next series, this lot were crap.. I need something to cling onto each week like an ongoing relationship type storyline, if there was one in this series it was very deeply hidden or went over my head
