If what I’ve just read is anything to go by, Pearl Mackie is departing. Shame, I was hoping Bill would stick around for a bit. I really like her.

So we just watched episodes 8-10 and overall they were kind of meh.
The third parter to the monk story was kind of a let down. It wasn't bad, but the monks turned out to be a joke. The one on Mars was interesting and it was cool to see the Ice Warriors in modern day. As for the last episode I watched which had Romans and Scotts, it was kind of boring. I hope the two parter finale gives Capaldi the send off he needs. |

Would you like to see some distant shots (from behind a bush) of Christmas special filming? Shot that make it appear that in a surprise moment the Mirror was right! We are likely getting some First Doctor in the Christmas special. Look at those TARDISes! Look at that hat! Look at that cape!

I can't properly express my excitement in words.

Great finale, soured by two major complaints for me.
The Cybermen were just gloried props...again...for the third time in a finale. I thought Moffat had finally hit the nail on the head last episode, but now back thinking no one can write them any way other than marching cannon fodder. The use of the newer models was stupid too. Not just because it didn't make any sense, but because it highlighted just how awful they look compared to a design from the sixties. Also Bill's departure. While I have no problem with her escaping a cyber-fate (I wish she hadn't, but that was never going to happen), the fact they almost note-for-note rehashed Clara's exit was pretty ridiculous. The Pilot was the most ridiculous "get out of jail free" card I've ever seen. And people think RTD was bad. The scripting and characters were utterly superb though. The framing with Bill was brilliantly handled, and Simm/Gomez absolutely ruled the show. What an absolutely fitting exit for the both of them. Here's hoping the Master gets his nerve back next time he/she rolls around. ALSO CHRISTMAS IS GOING TO ROCK GUYS

I'll agree with you on both notes Zeo, but with the caveat that those were pretty minor for me. Bill's exit being Clara, but right doesn't really bother me all that much- I'm more annoyed in that I see a romance between the two, but that might just be my inexperience in those matters meaning I'm not seeing it clearly. I was hoping for this to be a more character-y thing, and it was, wonderfully so. Much better than Hell Bent, and probably the best finale episode since Series 5.
