Doctor Who - Not a Hugging Type of Thread

[Llama_Shepherd]

You were saying?

Even after it had been spoiled I just hoped it'd be a new character, because I didn't want the Master to return (at least not as a villain), and Moffat said he didn't want to do the Master anyway. But this Master has been so good, so far, that I don't care anymore.

Well... I liked the finale. But I hated it too.

I feel it's a 5/5 episode, and it was really good, but I can't help but feel disappointed a little.

The christmas special looks like fun though.

It was rather an emotional atom-bomb. I liked it a great deal, and thought that the climax set the Doctor a genuine predicament that didn't have an obvious resolution. Capaldi is brilliant in moments like that. Clara also seemed to really grow by withholding bad news from the Doctor at the end.

Missy is fairly annoying, and I would rather the part was recast. I don't see how you can make a robotic Cyberman by cellular absorption. Those are my only complaints.

Dear god....

If this is true, then I'm glad I'm bowing out from New Who

MY GOD... Moffat wouldn't be that crazy to even TRY a stunt like that, would he?!?...

shock effect, my ass... that is just totally uncalled for... IF it's true...

I thought it was quite a sweet moment, in the event.

I thought that was utterly dire, personally. I loved most of the episodes leading up to it - except for one, if I remember right - but I was on the brink of turning it off half way through. Great build up in the episode before, but terrible resolution once again. But I had a feeling going into it I'd be disappointed. Moffat has never impressed me as a finale writer. He seems to enjoy building it up so large, but it always falls apart. For me, anyway.

In this instance it was a lot of nothing. A lot of standing around and talking about the panic, but nothing came of it and there were no real consequences. If anything, it felt like a dull set up of the next series - whenever that may be - but lacked any oomph it could have had.

At this point, I wish Moffat would stop writing the finales, because he isn't getting any better at them. I enjoy what comes before, but the ends are just incredibly flat.

Kinda pissed that they killed off The Master.

She can be recast with someone less annoying.

I guess. But you can't really regenerate from being disintegrated, can you?

 

[Lord Valumart]

The two most emotional moments since the show returned have both been about the fact The Brig is dead. An actual emotional heart in my mouth moment when he realised who the Cyberman was, then ruined by Clara's blubbering face and forced emotional nonsense.

Still, Nick Frost...

 

[childeroland]

"Go home and be a king. Or a queen, whatever." So with this and the female Master, they are setting up a female Doctor, aren't they?

 

[Lord Valumart]

Why was that guy last week called Skarovos? Or whatever it was... That felt like a massive sign post to me.

 

[COMPO]

Yeah I thought Brig Cyberman was done well and better than I thought. I thought this episode was good, didn't really like the ghost moment at the end was half expecting Patrick Swayze to come out.

 

[Great Mind(s)]

I'm trying to remember the part of Dark Water where a Ghost scene happened and realized you all somehow saw the finale.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

if I remember correctly, it was Dr. Skarosa...

 

[Primal Slayer]

Surely they wouldn't treat us to this great rendition to the Master only to kill her off already? Seems like a waste to rid of one The Doctors greatest villains after reintroducing them.

But these past two episodes have been the best of the season and I was so glad that they didn't kill off whats her name in the end. I have a thing for legacy characters. Though I kept on thinking about all the past companions and wish they had given a sentence or something to that when it comes to them becoming Cybermen.

 

[Swordmaster]

The Master's been dead before. He always comes back.

Spoiler

you can't kill the Master with his weapon. I expect he teleported . Probably preprogrammed

 

[OriginalMiles]

IF The Master does return, would you like it if he stayed female or became a man again?

"In science fiction, nobody ever really dies". Can't remember who told me that quote but it's totally true.

2000 times this.

This finale was extremely entertaining but I don't know how I feel about it as an episode.

I mean that ending... WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO FEEL MOFFAT. YOU BASTARD MAN.

It's been a satisfying season at least. Capaldi has truly claimed the role as his own and given us a Doctor that stands alongside the best of them. I'm seriously in love with 12.

More Michelle Gomez, please.

Also, random Nick Frost ending may possibly be the greatest new Who ending scene I have ever seen. Just yes.

It wasn't her weapon, it was the [blackout]Brigerman[/blackout] who shot her. For one, the color was different, and two, the beam came from the completely opposite side of the screen of where the Doctor was pointing it.

I demand that Michelle Gomez come back.

She was ****ing brilliant.

That said...... I HIGHLY doubt that the Master/Mistress is really dead. The Master always has an out, and a way to avoid regeneration/outright death.

In fact, I don't even believe we actually saw the Master regenerated. Even when trying to prove a point to the Doctor, I don't think he/she would allow themself to be out in a dire situation. For all we know, what was destroyed couldve been the robot she pretended to be in the beginning.

I liked the finale. Gomez was creepy, particularly when killing Osgood. Very well done. It didn't reach the heights of The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang, but it was still a reasonably solid episode. The final moments were fantastic. 12 lying about finding Gallifrey and smashing the console in disappointed fury.

The Master's been dead before. He always comes back.

I think there's a chance she teleported away somewhere.
