He's gonna make them hide behind the sofa which is what the Doctor's supposed to do.

Should have had a 'my work here is done' piece to camera.

All will be revealed in the final episode of the series in a "oh gosh isn't he clever the clues were there all along" yawnfest

Nice to see Vod, Dolorous Edd and Tyres on a spaceship.
Is Danny PINK soldier BLUE's brother somehow resurrected and dropped back in time and space?
Why is Missy collecting the souls of people who sacrifice themselves to save the Doctor? I don't think she's the Rani anymore but I wonder if she's the Tardis' consciousness.

Her Insanity laughs under pressure...👾
my seven year old granddaughter likes him a lot already, she also thinks Clara is much better now. As for tonight episode it was interesting and good, also I know it's a bit out there but maybe Danny is an ex- soldier with some emotional baggage who is now a teacher

its good to see the dalek antibodies. Doctor Who without daleks is like WW2 film with no Nazis in it

'am I good man' was clunkily coming but I think it works. Thats always been the Docs self-doubt hasn't it. No you are not a good man. ou hold by a fingernail to a percieved notion of justice but you are a genocidal maniac. hth.
Yes, the colours (THE COLOURS!) must be significant. My guess is that he's a soldier from a future war and something.

That's right. I'd forgotten British means English.It occured to me watching this episode: RTD, a Welshman, had the entire series filmed in Cardiff. Now Steven Moffat, a Scotsman, has cast a Scottish Doctor and a Scottish... Big Bad TBC thing.
It's supposed to be the British Broadcasting Corporation, not the Welsh and Scottish Broadcasting Corporation

It was great. Enjoyed it. Capaldi was fantastic.

Yipchaa!
It occured to me later that the conspiracy goes even further! Not since Ecclescake have we not had a Scot in the cast, either as Doctor or companion.
I pay my licence fee, I don't have to put up with this anti-English agenda! There's agendas flying all over this damn show

While I still thought there were a couple of missteps in the writing, I would defintiely agree on Capaldi - seems to have settled in straight away and has a very different presence to 10 and 11 (for obvious and more subtle reasons).

i like him - i wasn't 100% sold on the story, but daleks bore me. They've sorted the audibility of his dialogue, thankfully.
so - clara's new boyfriend... a comment on the 'troops to teachers' initiative? I'd rather she didn't need a love life. Once again: the best companion of new who was Donna - and she wasn't romantically involved with anyone. I suppose it gives them an out if she is leaving at xmas. he'll do well in the tardis. Battle experienced. Mirror's the doctor's issues over having to kill.
But... not all female characters need to be in relationships, Moffatt.
However on that point, there were a surprisingly un-moffat number of Bechdel test-passing scenes. (TWO female soldiers. Female soldier AND female big bad).

Do you mean Danny? You think he's being set up as the new companion? Could be interesting, as one review said they did a pretty good job of establishing him in just one episode.
While browsing the wiki for this episode I found out that Moffat apparently calls Michelle Gomez's character the "Gatekeeper of the Nethersphere". Not sure if that actually adds anything, but there y'go.

yeah far too much backstory to be an incidental. i'm not sure he'll be a full-on companion, but he'll definitely get tardis time.
You can't spell 'heroic end of season sacrifice' without Danny Pink!

Missy's making an army of people to kill the doctor (because she'll make them see he twists people's good will in order to force them to die for him) and at the end he'll call on their power of love and shit to turn on her instead (or at least to stop them turning on him), in large part thanks to Danny Pink, and it'll be all about how soldiers aren't just mindless killing machines but are moral people often co-opted for bad things but ultimately thinking, feeling individuals capable of love. And shit.
It was all there in that ep last night.

Hardly getting over it.
Nope, Greebo and I both remarked on that. I may have made a flip remark about how Northern Doctor and Scottish Doctor both seemed to have over-active dalek-angst.
