It's not about showing objectivity, I suspect, so much as it is about avoiding defamation suits.

Has her lawyer been caught in a lie? I mean, surely it is at least conceivable that it is Lady Gaga who is lying, out of a concern for protecting her career and not getting caught up in this mess?

I never had the sense that there was a writer's room for Doctor Who. I think Variety and Moffat may be talking past each other a bit - that Moffat's "writer's room" just means that episodes are written by multiple writers, rather than him writing all of them.

So Nyder was Ny, son of Der? Hmm…

Moffat has pretty clearly expressed that he believes the proper use of the Master is to kill her at the end of every story and then bring her back without explanation at the beginning of her next one, so I fully expect for Missy to "die" by the end of next episode. Clara's definitely in the rest of the season, though.

The Master appeared with Daleks (briefly) in Frontier in Space, but I don't believe he's ever appeared with Davros before. And Dark Water/Death in Heaven was her first team up with the Cybermen. I can't find any evidence of a Big Finish team-up, either - the only google result for Terry Molloy (the 80s/Big Finish…

They've been back for good since Victory of the Daleks in Season 5.

It is remarkable how good Genesis is, given that it was written by Terry Nation. The two Terry Nation stories before this, and the two after it, are all dreadful. I'm not sure whether a significant portion was written by Robert Holmes (my general understanding is that, no, Holmes was busy writing Ark in Space and…

Season 6, notably, did not actually have any Dalek stories, though a Dalek showed up briefly in The Wedding of River Song.

Pertwee and Delgado's versions of the characters clearly enjoy each other's company, in most of their stories together, and usually end up working together at some point. You even get that with Baker and Ainley at the end of Logopolis.

Moffat has surely written some pretty good clever clever paradoxy stories in the past? Blink and A Christmas Carol both work pretty well, and I'd recommend reading Moffat's New Adventures short story "Continuity Errors", as well, which is tremendously clever. Hell, I thought The Big Bang did a pretty good job with the…

So when will they bring back Sarah Jane Smith and the Second Doctor?

Yeah, Impossible Astronaut started Season 6. 7 and 8 had Asylum of the Daleks and Deep Breath, respectively, neither of which was spectacular, and Season 7B was The Bells of Saint John, which was not good. But Davies wasn't necessarily great with season openers, either. I'd say Rose and Smith & Jones were pretty…

Missy is obviously the Master who is mostly clearly trying to hearken back to the original Delgado version of the Master, though.

I assumed he sent it to Missy because she's a fellow Time Lord, and the only fellow Time Lord he (apparently) knows how to reach.

UNIT was pretty clearly a joke more or less from Terror of the Autons onward.

Surely Season 6 had a pretty strong start? As for the will thing, I suppose you could say the Doctor only bothered with it after he found out there was still another Time Lord out there.

The Delgado master sometimes seemed fond of Jo. I feel like in Time Monster, in particular.

In what sense are we supposed to see Clara as not important to him? That's something *Missy* says, and she's an insane sociopath.

Surely there is also the option to not pay for Hulu?
