What are people smoking? I watched ...Great Episode? What are people smoking? I watched that crap in sheer horror at How Low Doctor Who has sank! A female Master?! WTF!? Who but a complete moron would accept such a laughable concept. Plus she wasn't anything like the Master. She was pathetic. Weak. Poor Roger and Anthony are rolling over in their graves. <br />Moffat should have simply brought the Rani back instead of taking a dump over a classic character and turning him into a joke! <br />And Having the Doctor as President of Earth?! LMBO!!! I've never heard anything so stupid in my life. How much Crack does Moffat smoke before writing this garbage? And then the Ending that made me want to throw up! The Disgusting Way he Treated The Brigadier Character! That was a total disgrace. Those calling it sweet are brain-dead. Obviously they know nothing about the special friendship between the Doctor and The Brigadier. He first met the Second Doctor when he was a Col. He was promoted to Brigadier by the time the Third Doctor was Exiled to Earth. He also worked a little with the 4th Doctor and in one episode with the 5th Dr and then his last TRUE Doctor Who appearance was with the 7th Dr in Battlefields. I don't even acknowledge that laughable cybercreep as the Brig. Too sickening for words. <br />And the contrived ending. Missy acting like a weak woman who has never heard of feminism. <br />And BTW! The Master and the Doctor are Brothers! YES BROTHERS! This WAS established at the end of 'Planet of Fire' so that whole Boyfriend crap was pure incest. But nothing Moffat does surprises me anymore. He continues to sink lower and lower.

I really liked the Doctor's revelation that he isn't good or bad, and I liked the two lying to each other like that, and the bit about hugging (great gif to go with that!). I'm so glad this season ended on a positive, considerably less stupid, classic kind of way. :DSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08901639281043602191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385233731099220276.post-1597761892280548142014-11-11T14:22:06.307-05:002014-11-11T14:22:06.307-05:00I have to admit I'm more in line with Jamie on...I have to admit I'm more in line with Jamie on this one. There were things I liked ( such as the president of the world thing, which should have been cheesy but somehow wasn't:) But the Mary Poppins bit was a bit much, and I really liked Osgood and was really upset that she died. Also, though Danny wasn't my fav DW character, I ended up being really upset over his death...maybe because I was so sure he was going to live because we saw his great-great son? I mean, I know "time can be re-written" but for some reason that really bothered me.<br /><br />One question I have- is this Clara's permanent exit from the show? Though I thought the lying between her and the doctor really poignant, I'm still not sure if she's gone for good. If so, I'm going to miss her :(<br /><br />I did liked the scene with the Brig at the end (And I, like Tegan, thought he was the one who killed Missy, although I wouldn't be surprised if she was still alive because no matter how many times you get rid of the master, he/she is always going to come back). I loved the fact that the Doctor saluted him. <br /><br />Anyway, I've really enjoyed reading these reviews! I'm curious as to what's going on in the Christmas special!

But at the same time there were a lot of things that pushed my buttons and made me step out of the episode. I almost couldn't tolerate Missy, I thought she got even worse in this one? They had her float down out of the sky with an umbrella like she was Mary-Freakin'-Poppins--she just felt ridiculous and unbelievable. Also am I the only person who thought Osgood's death could have been very avoidable and simply made the girl seem stupid? I also thought Missy's plan to give The Doctor the Cyberman army was rather stupid on her part too--what did she think he was going to do? This might be more of the show's problem of not quite selling me the fact that this new doctor wasn't "a good man." If I had bought that, maybe it wouldn't have felt so dumb. I don't know... to save rambling, as I said up there, I'm really torn over this episode. :-\ Very glad, though, that none of it has to do with Peter Capaldi and the new Doctor. He's been the supreme highlight of this season, to me personally. :)<br /><br />Looking forward to your overall review! I've loved looking forward to your weekly Doctor Who episode reviews! Sad that they'll be ending for a while. :( :)<br /><br />~JamieJamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17203554335912426375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385233731099220276.post-5392188911379220072014-11-10T11:48:57.143-05:002014-11-10T11:48:57.143-05:00Good review.

Less timey-wimey, more epic. Some bits were daft - Missy's escape, the boy's miraculous return (wouldn't he be in bits? a rotting corpse?) but thematically very satisfying and linked to Remembrance Sunday the day after, the Promise of the Soldier. Moffat's best finale for me.Child of the 70shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045667514712502457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385233731099220276.post-8259674115920522762014-11-10T10:23:06.307-05:002014-11-10T10:23:06.307-05:00Excellent review!

While I don't think as a finale it tops Name of the Doctor, it certainly was a good episode: it made me jump, it made me scream at the tv, it made me gasp, it made me laugh, and it made me cry; so, in all, a good episode. It wasn't as....timey-wimey (whimey?) as Moffat's previous episodes, but I don't think that really hurt the episode at all. *Spoilers* While killing Osgood was effective-Moffat said in 'Doctor Who Extra' it was to show that Missy/The Master was just as cruel as the previous Masters-it was a shocker, even if my Dad called that they would kill her off. The scene in the graveyard (before Clara meets Cyber!Danny) was well done, and was the scenes that made me jump the most. Honestly, Cybermen are still just as scary as they were when I was seven. The end scene with the Brig...it was so unexpected, so heartwarming/wrenching, that I did not make it through that scene. I was blubbering. But honestly, I think it was the Brig who 'killed' Missy, rather than the Doctor, given it looked so different, and the fact that the Cyber!Brig had it's gun aimed toward her/him/them. Can't be sure, though. It was an excellent episode, though. Excellent review, James, and I hope your arm is getting better!<br />P.S. I guess the Doctor really wasn't kidding in A Christmas Carol that he knew Santa!<br />-TeganTegan Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11197087001988013919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385233731099220276.post-41169166980134997902014-11-10T08:42:39.210-05:002014-11-10T08:42:39.210-05:00Great review! :) I agree, this was a great episode...Great review! :) I agree, this was a great episode and a really awesome finale! :) It's probably my favorite one in a while, which was nice. Yes, Clara has really been awesome this season and I look forward to seeing more of her! I agree, I think Michelle Gomez did a lot better in this episode(with toning it down) and she did a great job being the Master(I hope she comes back later); she was a lot better than I thought she would be(I was worried she'd be a River Song rip-off). The part at the end with Danny letting the kid live instead of him was really well done and everything with Danny made me sad(Samuel Anderson is quite a good actor- I hope to see him again in another show at some point). And yes, the scene at the end with the two lying to each other was a great scene! And I definitely understand the quote about hugging(since it can be true at times). And Santa! YAY! XD Overall, I've been really happy with this season and I look forward to seeing more of Twelve and Clara's adventures.
