[Switchblade]

I liked it. We got to see some of that "darker" Doctor that we were promised and the whole romp through the Dalek was fun, even if I kept thinking about The Invisible Enemy (this episode looked better, but loses points for having less Leela). Between that and last week's references to The Girl in the Fireplace, I wonder if we'll be getting any more loose callbacks to older episodes.

Interesting debut for Danny Pink; I wonder if there's anything in the similar color-themed last name and former profession with the guest star this week. Could be just a coincidence, but I can't help but wonder if he's in some way a time-displaced deserter. I don't think he's the Master. Not unless something really effed up happened to him.

Speaking of possible effed up Masters: did not expect this week's Missy scene. I'm really, really curious to see what her deal is.

In any case, Capaldi continues to impress, although I have a little trouble understanding him when he talks really fast.
