It was indeed the same Sister of Khan. She is Ohila, though, and I do not think she has ever appeared in Star Trek. She might be returning in the second episode, The Magician's Apprentice.

Some bastard decided to chop onions JUST as Jo left. Why do that!
It'd been telegraphed for the whole serial, so I was expecting it (or at least partly expecting it since we got trolled by a love half-interest in the one before), but hit me in the feels anyway.. she's off to make the normal marriage and life and babies and whatnot and I'm super happy for her, whilst also sad for the Doctor making his usual quiet lone exit leaving another much loved companion behind. Awwwww.... I'll miss her too.

Jo was one of the great underapplauded companions. In her own way very Doctorish in her ability to upturn things and defy expectations, as well as subtly undermining the Third Doctor's paternalism and intellectual ego.

Ah. That would make sense given where he ends up.

It's taken me two days to resolve the bit that was bugging me. It's "A stranger is a friend who you haven't met yet"

Cast list is out...
Spoiler: show
Ros from Bugs!
According to imdb she is also due to appear in the Zygon 2-parter so I'm guessing she's in UNIT.

Shadow Architect is back.

The creepy guy with lines across his face is this guy:

I doubt they've cast such a physical actor to stand around in a robe. Expect a Darth Maul-style baddie jumping around the place.

Quite an interesting interview with Peter Capaldi in The Telegraph. What I find most interesting is the line, "He has even developed the same knee complaint that had Matt Smith … on crutches at their first meeting. ‘It’s something to do with running down corridors and turning round very quickly to deliver lines,’ he says, laughing."

Looks like Jenna Coleman's off. Faye Marsay next, I hope.

Careful, it might be another one of Moffat's brilliant 'plot twists'. She left before the last Christmas special, was in it, and stayed afterwards.

New prequel. This one is hosted by BBC on Google Play, which means you need to buy it, but for £0.00. Yes, that is stupid, but that’s how much I paid. It’s also available as part of the Season Pass which costs actual money.

I fucking hate 'Grimmy' and I'm fucked if I'm paying to watch a YouTube video, even if it's £0 because it's fucking obvious they're testing the model and I'm not playing that game.

They have done it before. The only other things I’ve bought on YouTube are The Last Day and The Night of The Doctor. I know that as they are permanently there in my YouTube purchases, and also cost £0. I think they appeared normally on YouTube soon after so that will probably happen to this one, though maybe not before the episode. It lasts six and a half minutes, half or more of which could have been cut with no loss. Not one of Moffat’s best efforts.
