Room was suddenly pretty quiet. It was actually the most dull fucking episode in the history of (modern) Dr who. It was just there to emphasize the fact clara and her BF are teachers AND LOOK THERE ARE CHILDREN PLAYING A PART IN DR WHO GUYS, CHILDREN. DID WE MENTION THERE WERE CHILDREN? They keep ramming this teacher / children thing down our throats its getting tiresome. Also what happened to people being freaked the fuck out by aliens / tardis and the Dr trying to keep hidden? "Hey kids, everyones welcome on the Tardis!" - Running theme is nobody gives a fuck about the tardis anymore and the Dr takes anyone he likes on it. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + THE MASTER IS BACK!!!!!! "Don't cremate me!" Oh my god it hit me like tyler durden in fight club if you know what I mean. I don't care that the master is somehow out of the time war bubble But after a season I felt didn't respect its crazy backstory roots I'm ready to just roll with it. And oh my god they were cyber men the whole time in those water tanks. | ||

Yesss. Entire episode was bananas and I loved it. | ||

Apparently there was some controversy over Dark Water based on whether the whole 'don't cremate me' was offensive. I still fail to see how anything in that episode was problematic. Could anyone explain? | ||

The situation was interesting and successfully brought up, but almost all of the conclusions just felt weird or didn't work at all (I will say some of them didn't work because the season didn't do a good enough job of setting up the themes, so I can't really blame the episode for that). I enjoyed the cyberman unit guy being saluted though. That was 3 episodes worth of exposition and story in 2 episodes. It was too much crammed in there. As a result for me the cybermen never actually felt particularly threatening. There was too much other stuff going on to be worried about cybermen. | ||

I have to say though, the last 5 mins of that episode almost redeemed a rather "meh" season. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + A great big build up, into the doctor not doing anything at all and everything sort of fixing itself around him, without any real explanation as to how. There have been a few decent episodes, (the train one was ok, and flatline was amusing just for the tiny capaldi, but there have been so many episodes this season where they arrive, find some wierd stuff is going on, run around not accomplishing anything, then it turns out everything is ok after all, and would have played out identically if the doctor had never even arrived... I had great hopes after the first half of this finale, we had an enemy who we knew wouldn't turn out to be harmless, in interesting plot mechanic in the potential afterlife stuff, and the master back! But all we get is a random plane ride which accomplishes nothing but allowing for a funny army one liner from the doctor, and "true love" or something randomly overpowering cyberman circuitry to magically save the day. (We've already had an episode where that happens with matt smith, although at least that one was saved by not being 80% exposition...) I guess I just enjoy the moments where the doctor goes full tennant and suddenly saves the day, and having the solution to a problem actually be developed over the episode over the "I have no idea what i'm doing but I look concerned for 40 minutes, then stuff randomly resolves itself around me in the last 5 minutes of the episode" which capaldi seems to be written as half the time  /rant | ||

Am I the only one who thinks that they still haven't woken up? When he actually got her her first words were "am I young?" and the episode started with the doctor just glaring at her and saying "I'm real." | ||
