Yeah, it's not a very good story. The hybrid Sec looks awful, and it doesn't make much sense either because a Dalek should never be in a position where it doubts its own perfection like that. You could argue the Cult of Skaro is wired differently to other Daleks, but when you get into the finer details of Dalek hierarchy that raises all sorts of other questions.

This is one of my biggest problems post series 1 of the reboot - no one can write the Daleks very well. Most stories revolve around giving them characteristics they shouldn't have.

Something that bugged me a lot about it (aside from the pigs) was that I felt like a really cheap repeat of what they did in Series 1. In Dalek and the Finale we already had the whole "Dalek-Human Hybrid" story and was handled really well in my eyes.

At least I got to pretend that Andrew Garfield is just playing Peter Parkers grandfather

Yeah Dalek handled everything brilliantly. It nailed exactly how it should happen and what would be the result of it.

Having a Dalek become a Humanoid felt much more like the setup to a really gross Slash Fiction

Holy crap Heaven Sent was such a good episode. One of the best so far in Series 9! All the mystery and confusion worked so well with the 12th Doctor and I did not expect the revelation and the cliffhanger! Got more information about the Hybrid which was interesting to hear. I can't wait for the finale! I don't think I've ever been excited for a finale!

We just watched episodes 9 and 10 and my god, episode 9 is hands down the worst episode to come out since "Love and Monsters." It was terrible. Whoever thought it was a good idea to do a found footage episode was an idiot because it did not work. The plot didn't make a lick of sense and it just stops, there was no resolution. The next episode though was great, but I'm really surprised they got rid of Clara like that. DAMN!!

Capaldi does rage quite well. The problem is, for me, it's expected. You expect him, for whatever reason, to be angry. And full of that deep seeded anger. That was one thing I loved about 11. You never saw the rage coming. One minute he was this bouncing kitten going from one shiney thing to the next but then.. He surprised you. And you saw the rage of 900 years.

Heaven Sent was just b e a u t i f u l ! Looking forward to the finale!

Episodes written by Mark Gatiss tend to be “hit or miss” for me. The Crimson Horror remains my favourite of the episode he’s written, but I also like The Unquiet Dead, Cold War and Robot of Sherwood. Sleep No More… well I appreciate the writer’s attempt at trying something different.
