I don't know if this is a no-spoiler zone review, but given that the show has been over for awhile now… don't we see more of what happened to Seymour in the 1st movie? I feel weird that nobody is mentioning it, because it's a pretty big deal…

Would have rated 7 and 8 lower (though 8 well above 7) but agree mostly with the rest. Imho, Season 6 really was the peak of the show under current management where they could try some just totally insane, off-the-wall stuff and have it still, amazingly, work. Don't know if it was the writers or Smith or what, but…

How did that all play into Danny's decision to press the "delete me" button on the iPad in the previous episode anyhow. Did the choice not to do that affect what happened to him in this episode? Did all Cyberpeople have that choice? Did they make different choices? Why did/would that matter if Missy controlled…

Sure, but the _writers_ aren't oboglibated to give viewers all these dramatic story beats about how important this bit of connection is, how there's a deeper meaning to it all, blah blah, only to reveal that it's because Missy happened to see Clara on the street and liked her shoes or something.

It was a mess: a great sci-fi idea piled onto a nonsensical plan by the Master, so many emotional beats that were immediately stepped on or contradicted…

Does it matter? The Doctor saw how the - function worked in person and he very deliberately did not hold the device in that way while supposedly preparing to kill her. He pressed a different button than what he saw was used to kill, and a different effect resulted. Then he just turned everyone's attention to…

I mean, that whole plot point went nowhere, right? The thinnest last-minute writer's burp of an explanation as to why Missy would be so keen to keep the Doctor and Clara together that'd she'd bend all time and space. Why Clara? Why any of that. Oh, hah, for some dumb, vague character reference to Clara being a…

Pretty clear cop-out. We saw twice (and the Doctor directly once) exactly how that murder-sintigration device works and is held when being used to kill, and the Doctor clearly didn't even _try_ to use it on the kill setting, regardless of whether or what the Cyber-Brig did. He pressed some sort of teleport button,…

The fact that he didn't do that, or anything like it in either case of getting handed insane power is a bit out of character. But maybe we'll find out in later seasons that he hacked all the drones in the world do to nothing but dance the Charleston when activated.

Man, those rankings. You ranked Robots of Sherwood, a story where robots don't understand what a circuit board is and the Doctor literally somehow fires a nonsensical golden plot arrow miles into the air and into a spaceship… two steps higher than Deep Breath (which, minus the clowny "ooo these characters again"…

I was a little worried when one of the writers of a sci-fi show demonstrated that he doesn't even have a passing understanding of what a circuit board is or how heavy a golden arrow would be.

Thank you for further illustrating my point, sir I bid you good day.

The Time Lock stuff sort of went semi-out the window during the Day of the Doctor. If the Doctor has/developed hope of finding Gallifrey again, as he did there, then we should probably expect that now it's a real possibility that it's accessible in some way. And the highly improbable, on Doctor Who, is never the…

But all of those had equally plausible explanations: a kid playing a game with Rupert and the hull creaking. The Wally thing was brilliant: first played as a joke on the Doctor being madcap and misunderstanding human cultural tropes… but then deeply revealing about exactly the weird and scary thing about the whole…

A better editor would have cut Clara's rambling right when the audience realized she was repeating the Doctor's earlier speech. It did start to push into the corny/indulgent zone at that bit, long after we'd gotten the message.

Love Christmas Carol, but "structurally messy": I'm not sure what that means.

"Hi, question for Mr. Moffat. In episode 2F09, when Clara plays The Doctor's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes that same rib twice in succession yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we, to believe that this is some sort of a, a [snort] magic xylophone or something? Boy, I really hope…

Gatiss seems to have vaguely heard that gold is used in electronics and may have been described a circuit board at some point, and so he puts two and two together and concludes that circuit boards are just contiguous random labyrinths of pure gold.

But that was brilliant. One of the most deliciously insane sci-fi villain plots ever!

I thought the Angel two-parter was still good.
