Huh. I hadn't thought about that. Interesting. Of course, a lot of those shows have high body counts.

Moffat said he and RTD had worked out a scenario where they got together and then the final episode ended on a cliffhanger with Missy telling the Master and the Doctor, "I'm pregnant" and then passing it on to Chibnall to deal with.

Peter Capaldi said he doesn't like that too many questions are getting answered. Takes away from the Doctor's mystique.

I am not familiar with this "'dead lesbian' stereotype"… what is that?

Is that fair, or does that make it NOT fair?

I originally thought they were going to turn Bill into Susan.

Michele Gomez said they originally asked her to play a different part but she was not available.

I said "more" hard science. It has become more fantasy with a strong reliance on CGI. I think the balance will shift. You may not. We shall see.

Chibnall tends to research the hell out of his stories. I think he will try to be more accurate and do away with the screwdriver as a magic wand.

My guess is, with Chibnall, we will get away from the fantasy and back to more hard science.

I hated that part. I didn't like the melodramatic grandiose speeches. I've disliked those for many episodes. I also didn't like the dynamic between Missy and the Master. I don't know. I didn't feel any particular emotion other than annoyance.

Oh thank goodness. I thought I was alone….

It was stupid.

Based on Twitter I'm guessing I am the only one that really didn't like this episode….

I never got past episode 1 and my sister who has been in love with Jack Lord forever can't stand it.

Yes, I was going to say they ALWAYS played Car Wash at the skating rink when my kids were skating, which was near our house, so they went A LOT.

I have to admit, at first I was sort of wondering why this actress, but she just killed it…

The character is written well— I just wish they had a different actor in the role…

Oh, I can't stand Rich Sommers! It's not even a character you love to hate.. I just hate the actor…. I hate the scenes he is in…

It's extremely well-written and directed. I just love the dialogue. Almost all the jokes hit. And, even when not directly in the scene, they have folks doing character-related stuff in the background without pulling focus. It's so much fun to watch.
