I think it's very shortly going to become apparent that all the talk of leaving last year was misdirection, that Clara's story arc wasn't finished and her series 9 appearances will clearly not have been hastily tacked onto existing scripts. Just a hunch :D

I reckon about six and a half minutes of it could easily have been cut with no loss. Really hope this isn't indicative of the quality of season 9 as a whole.

It's his last battle again, then? Wonder if it'll be any more final than the one 18 months ago, or the one the year before that, or...

Slightly messy plot, I felt, but many, many, many Moments of Awesome. I want a figure of <SPOILERS!> with a <SPOILERS!> on a <SPOILERS!>!

How's Dave supposed to have got out of the Crucible, then?

Essentially what we now have is a melodrama about a small group of individuals who can neither die nor learn how to get along. You'd think, given eternity, one might be able to figure something out.

In any case, I was sad to see...
Spoiler: show
Missy and Clara get killed. I shall miss both characters. The Master has had a good run in the series for several decades but I agree with Moffat, it's time to kill her off for good. Looking forward to meeting the new companion next week.
Either that or he's just playing one years-long, tedious game of peek-a-boo with his audience.

I do like the way the Daleks complete pompous solioquies.

X-Factor. :roll:

Honestly, I wish more people would read Ben Eltons' "Chart Throb", and realise that XF and BGT are just as much 'scripted reality' as TOWIE, MiC, etc. Mind you, the people that think X-Factor is real probably also think Made in Chelsea is real too... :stunned:

How many series would be brave enough to launch like that?

There was a lot to like in there, even if UNIT should be taken to a Health & Safety tribunal for the cold workplace.

Luckily I had not seen the spoilers on Twitter so the appearance of a certain someone (in fact, two someones, a something and a somewhere) was a genuine surprise.
