Agreed. "We must keep going." "Let's take a break." "No! We must keep going!" (x 1,000)

Jesus, that would be stupid. I'm bracing myself to be irritated, because that's probably going to happen, isn't it?

The director's cut has too many notes. Cut a few, and it'd be perfect.

I haven't seen that one in thirty years (literally), so no comment. Still, I think it's safe to say that the Doctor kills only as a last resort, and has stopped others from killing at least ten zillion times. The reason for killing in this ep. makes no sense, for the Doctor or anyone else. He decides to go through…

I instantly liked Capaldi, whereas the others took some getting used to. Esp. Matt Smith (whom I instantly disliked, but warmed to eventually): the doctor shouldn't be younger than me!

Not to sound sadistic, but Osgood's demise was my favorite bit in this episode…Missy at her most demented. Whenever the Master has appeared over the years, there was usually a high body count.

Here you're substituting your own theory as to what motivated the Doctor to kill Missy with the reason that's directly given.

From a common-sense p.o.v., most Doctor Who stories could be resolved in five seconds, if they'd just run back to the TARDIS as soon as danger arose. "There are 10,000 Daleks on this planet…let's get the fuck out of here!" But that wouldn't be much fun, would it?

The "decision to kill" would make sense to me if it were (a) a question of self-preservation, or security (ridding the world of a major threat), or (b) a question of justice (the Master has killed scores of people, so he/she deserves punishment). But here it's something different (and incoherent, if you ask me): (c)…

Just for my own edification: isn't the Rani from an era of Who that everyone hates? Why was everyone hoping that the Rani would come back?

Have you ever seen "The Dalek Invasion of Earth"? The Daleks' evil plan was to drill to the center of the earth, replace the earth's core with an engine of some sort, and drive the earth around like a spaceship. Or "The Tenth Planet," where we learn that the earth has a twin, which looks exactly like our planet, but…

The power of love. Duh.

This all seems beside the point, which pertains to Pink's judgment that the Doctor is a douchy officer, and not a noble soldier like himself. All we know about his soldier days is that he once killed an innocent kid, so why the idea of soldiering fills his heart with pride is beyond me. The Doctor isn't even…

The Master's code is, well, to master everything and everybody. "You will obey me!"

Basically agree with you…I dug the Doctor/Missy stuff, and zoned out during the Clara/Pink stuff, hoping that it would be over ASAP.

I wasn't happy when they turned the Master into a complete spaz (as opposed to the super-suave megalomaniac of the Delgado era). But if the Master has to be a spaz, then Gomez is perfect (Simms was clearly a bad choice).

And the shrink ray!

In the Pertwee era, it would always turn out that the dead Master was just one of his flunkies wearing a Master mask.

Fine…I should have said "he apparently had every intention of doing a very un-Doctor thing…" I botched it, but the point still stands, I think.

When the Doctor kills her (for now anyway), that was a double bummer, because (a) I want more of Michelle Gomez, and (b) it was a very un-Doctor thing to do…it didn't even make sense…"to save Clara's soul"…huh?
