Also, did anyone else think Power Rangers at all those Cybermen getting thrown around by explosions? It looked terrible.

I was thinking the same thing. I mean loves the episode but there were a few thing I did not like. Also am I the only one that think the master did not actual used the full power of his laser screw driver when he fired at missy.

The Master will be back regardless. He/she always is.

EDIT: Pretty interesting bit of trivia from the audio story Exile which totally came into play this episode.

It is stated that for a Time Lord to change gender, the previous incarnation must commit suicide.

I mean, it's not directly canon but it's still pretty neat if they thought of it.

I liked the finale a lot, although I think some of the middle dragged a little. Sticking to the standard running time probably would have made it a tighter episode. I also feel that, for all the build-up, having two Masters on hand really didn't add a lot to the episode's overall plot, just some cute side scenes. Bill's departure being so similar to Clara's did occur to me, too, but I didn't hate it. I'd actually spent most of the episode wondering if Heather would show up for Bill since I had no idea how else they'd de-Cyber her.

Properly excited for Christmas, even if it means we'll be losing what has probably become my favorite modern Doctor. Speaking of which, now that the season finale has aired I expect we'll be getting the new Doctor announcement relatively soon.

Which is why I said it wasn't directly canon. It's just interesting if that is something that can directly cause it. Especially since Missy said she couldn't remember the regeneration and all the timestream stuff that comes with that.

Sorry, missed that part xD

Also another thing to note is that the Twelfth Doctor mentions Marinus as a place where the Cybermen haven "risen" naturally. For those who aren't "up to date" with the classic era, Marinus is the homeworld of the Voord which were featured in the First Doctor's era. However, in a comic strip for the Sixth Doctor called The World Shapers, the Sixth Doctor, Peri, Frobisher, and an elderly Jamie McCrimmon (who, by using a technique the Second Doctor taught him, remembers his adventures with the Doctor) find that the Voord have taken a Worldshaper to quick-evolve themselves, turning into Cybermen as they gradually replaced themselves with cybernetic parts. When the elderly Jamie sacrifices himself to destroy it, it creates an explosion that accelerates time and the Sixth Doctor and his companions return to find that a million years of geological development had occurred straight after the explosion and transformed Marinus into Mondas.

For obvious reasons, the canon of the comic was put into doubt as it contradicted other sources and wasn't really absolved. Until the Twelfth Doctor mentions Marinus.

So do you think that The World Shapers is partially canon (except for the whole Marinus evolves into Mondas since the Twelfth Doctor names them as separate places where the Cybermen evolved)? I think maybe since the Doctor mentions Planet 14, Telos, and Earth (Pete's World/Cybus Cybermen) as other locations where the Cybermen had risen and they are key locations that are relevant to the Cybermen throught Doctor Who's history.

Why does the Tardis sound like someone repeatedly trying to start a car and flooding the engine?
