Doctor Who Series 8

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about all of that.

Everyone's first guess was that she was the Master. But Moff said he wasn't bringing the Master back.

I will say, it plays nicely on the sexual tension between Tennant and Simm that the fandom adored and *ahem* encouraged. :hmm:

But overall, I'm not sure how I feel about all of that.
 
i quite liked a lot of it. I'd noticed the teardrop/circles shape on the windows, but seeing both doors together made the 'oooh, cybermen' revalation that was intended.

it was EXTREMELY dark, until the 'plot' became evident - it seemed like Doctor Who was taking on the whole of human religious belief, and then going on to replace it with something enormously upsetting and disturbing...

I knew it was cybermen, because they're in the trailer that was on youtube (the bit where he runs out of the musuem just before she ways i'm the master).

So again the BBC shoot themselves in the feet with a massive elephant gun
 
nice little camera trick where they panned the night city and it was a full inner circle. Like in that film where leonardo di caprio is a dream stalker
 
this was the penultimate. So expect the Mistress to be defeated by next week. And then on to the seemingly forgotten search for gallifrey next season
 
FFS, the Cybermen weren't the big reveal in this!
Apart from the doors in the shape of cyberman eyes the audience is meant to be surprised at.

So no of course it's secondary to her being the Master, but no less a daft thing to spoil.

I think it should have been evil Romana. Much much more interesting story to go with rather than the Master, inexplicably back from the wherever the fuck he was. I don't even remember. But then That was the story where they made Rassilon into a genocidal dick played by Timothy Dalton.
