A great finale to a decent first series for a new doctor.

Unless...

It's either Weeping Angels... nah, the trailer didnt feel it.
Or... the Master... Maybe... least likely...


Personally I don't think it will be the master I felt like the character kind of got ruined over the last few series a break from them might be useful. A few other thoughts what about something like the eternal's or the nightmare child or something like that. Doubt it will be the weeping angels they were Moffat's pet project besides the trailer didn't really indicate it would be one. I mean going with the new theme it could be another time lord possibly but most of the evidence points to the Daleks wasn't there a part where (what looked like vikings) tried to break it?

It's a Dalek if you watch the video and pause 20 seconds in you can see the bottom half looks like a T Davies one too.

It could be a redesign. I hope it's a redesign. The RTD era Daleks are a great design but they've been in use for over a decade, so we're due a change.

Breaks even for me. The good episodes were enjoyable, and the bad ones were beyond preachy and annoying. I'm hoping he evolves past the preachy part by next season. Anyway, okay season.


I'd have to say:

Disliked

For those counting, that's four episodes liked and two loved (60% of the series positive); two disliked and two hated (40% of the series negative).

Damn shame we have to wait until 2020 for the next series.

Thing is Moffat did the redesign but then he just abandoned it for some reason still beyond me.

Because that design was ugly as sign and widely criticised.

Finally got around to watching the finale, i thought it was pretty good. Nice wrap to the end of the season, its in my top 3 for this season.

I liked the Stenza being back, i like their design (their tooth ridden face has even grown on me) i liked the Ux (or Yux?) and MARK ADDY BOBBY B was good, i liked all the performances and im glad graham didnt kill him as i want him to stick around with the Doctor for a good while, though i completely understand his position, i porbably couldnt hold of on killing that alien fuck myself.

Yeah solid episode.

You mean the hunchback ones? They looked a bit shit imo. Wouldnt mind a new design though.

I do like how the Doctor arrogantly assumed the whole "bigger on the inside" thing ..
would be beyond the understanding of millenia old aliens who can move planets with their minds. And how they corrected her

I just noticed they never followed up on that Timeless Child thing from "The Ghost Monument". That sounded like it was gonna be important.
