Unlike Sir Derek of Jacobi of course
They did that last year with one of the shorts in the run-up to the 50th anniversary special. The one with Paul McGann meeting the 'witches'. They explicitly mentioned changing sex.

well remembered. But was that the pyre from simms first outing as master? because when he came back in white with stupid powers I thought he was sucked into the timelock with the time lords and thier 70s costumes

Well, I thought it was ace. Quite unsettling and Michelle Gomez was magnificent and inspired. I hope she keeps the role for a good while.

Indeed. The pyre/ring thing was at the end of the series with Martha, where the Master died heroically on Ten's lap as they cried at each other in a very loving way.
The last time we saw him he was being locked away with Rassilon, et al.

Pah, better than the last one but there's still only really been two good episodes so far this series.
Anyway Remembrance of Daleks, is on the ABC, a proper Who story.

For time lord regeneration shenanigans see how they introduced lala ward to the role of Romana

I love that bit. At the time they said female time lords could regenerate into whoever they liked where er they liked, as many times as they wanted.
Problem with the show is that it's all banter, easter eggs and style over substance. I want it to get back to actual stories, not clever trickery. That bank heist episode could have been really good but it was spoiled in the end by a predictable timey wimey twist.
And Danny is obviously not dead since we've met his descendant from the future. So why include all the ballache with an officious Chris Addison and that kid from Afghanistan? Was that necessary? That could have been time devoted to Cyberman awesomeness!
Whatever happened to a weekly adventure, largely self contained, not dependent on in-jokes, easter eggs, references and oblique foreshadowing?

It wasn't explicitly just a time lady thing. It was to explain how the actress who played the local protagonist in the last episode is now the actress playing the doctor's companion in this.

Yes of course it was just a throwaway reason for ward to take over the romana role, but then it was just something time ladies could do. Same as regeneration, it wasn't even a regeneration until the fourth doctor. First it was a renewal (via the tardis) then a 'change of appearance' as a punishment (not much of a punishment if time lords do it all the time).
So The Mastress has been robbing graves throughout all of human history to build a massive cyberarmy? Seriously?
Why do the minds of dead people need to be uploaded into the Gallifrey nethersphere bollock?
What was the point of the creep pervy Dr Chang? Why was there a need to fill the nation's children with existential fear of eternal torment? Aren't Daleks and cyerbmen alone enough to give them a well meaning fright?

Jesus Christ, give it a rest.
why? This is the thread where we discuss the epsiode hence the title, which you seem to have misread. If other people's opinions bother you then the internet isn't the best place for you.

When you're reduced to "Why is Doctor Who scary?" level moaning, it suggests to me that you are trying a wee bit too hard to dislike it.

Tick tock.
Because scaring kids is its *job* I approve wholeheartedly.
I thought that was very good. I hope they resolve it without too much hand-waving. Michelle Gomez is excellent, and there were loads of great lines, and genuine darkness. My kids have watched it twice already.
