Using cheap jokes cheapens the series for me, Steve Jobs ? really ? Doctor Who has always been a bit distasteful like that, the RDT ep on the Titanic never sat well with me for those reasons (it was sh*te as well, that didn't help)I felt Id guessed it when the camera panned on the logo on the 2 doors in the waiting area of this so called Heaven, shape reminded me of Cybermen, & there they areYeah it was kinda obvious...I found out ages ago by Accident as I saw some leaked photos from the set. Wasnt keen on the Mary Poppins hat ? The Master has always been a bit theatrical, and coming after John Simm I guess you could only go more over the top...Danny seems a bit bland butWell...at least he's been consistent!, that emphasises Clara & the Dr a bit more. Should have guessed straight away when the assistant was named Dr Chan that the identity would be The MasterI was kinda hoping this would be a massive red herring just to troll the fans , but it was kinda obvious eps ago .

Re: Doctor Who [9]
I'll put my thoughts into some sort of vaguely coherent review later, but overall I thought that was very strong and dealt with some very troubling themes with a maturity NuWho has rarely tried to reach before.

Re: Doctor Who [9]
- Spoiler:
- As usual, no complaints. Thought it might be the Master when she first asked if the Doc knew who she was. Liked the Cyberman idea. Using human skeletons now, hey! But what about the pleas not to be cremated? What that mean, I wonder? Very interesting episode --- and if all the threads don't end up joining, I don't care. You see, I've been watching a fair bit of Classic Who and threads don't always join perfectly. It don't matter as long as the stories are watchable, methinks. Danny Pink is annoying - but that makes him human. Petty annoys me - but I still like him (even if he's Scottish). I fear Clara is on the way out --- hope I'm wrong....

Its part of the con as it were- they need the bodies to put in the cybermen- ashes are no good they need bodies to cyberconvert before they put the emotionally purged minds back in. Though it doesnt sound much fun for the minds involved if you are burnt as you still feel it (one of the most chilling lines for me was just before that reveal when you hear the blood curling scream and Seb comments "Sounds like someone left their body to science"

- Thought the Job line was a pearler. Azriel didn't! Also liked the Doctor's line about him not letting Clara's betrayal come between them. There were some excellent lines throughout, I agree.

Re: Doctor Who [9]
The betrayal line was great. Couldn't find that, but this was quite close, at least in the running order of the episode.

Re: Doctor Who [9]
Yeah I thought Moffat hit the balance right on the head between the emotional stuff, the disturbing stuff and the touches of humour. One of his best in fact with regard to getting the mix right.
I think next weeks being an hour long as well has given the time to tell a full tale.
Surely an argument for more two parters in a series.

Aye! Or at least 60 minute episodes where required for proper pacing.... or both situations...

Re: Doctor Who [9]

- Sorry Orwell, I just found the Steve Jobs remark a bit glib ? Im not over enthusiastic about a 'comedian' playing the role of a welcoming party, But Im excited about the next super dooper episode Tho the next thing is, I dont want to hear Capaldi isnt being the Dr for long That would just about piss me off. I also get an icky feeling Clara is slowing letting go. Danny is playing a laid back 'go with the flow' sorta guy, hes bland & doesnt get ruffled but then its cos hes seen & felt enough in real war to see things differently, I didnt like him at first but now, Im warming to him

- Well, I liked the joke and that's all that matters, don't you think? And I like Pinky - but he is irritating. In fact, the awkwardness in speaking openly and honestly between he and Clara is irritating too. Which makes it all the better to watch them. I sometimes feel like yelling: "Blurt it out! Blurt it out!" But then they'd know I was watching and listening to them -- and that would be a bit too intrusive of me, what!

Re: Doctor Who [9]
I thought the Steve Jobs was a good joke, and it was nothing disparaging or distasteful about him.
'Im not over enthusiastic about a 'comedian' playing the role of a welcoming party'- Azriel
Not sure I'm reading this right. Do you mean 'comedian' in the character is a bit jokey in his replies, or do you mean 'comedian' as in the actor playing him Chris Addison started out as a stand up (and I think occasionally still does some).
If the latter he is these days more an actor, director as well as producer. He starred alongside Capaldi in the Thick of It for four seasons and he directs and is a producer on the US political satire Veep.
I thought it was a bit of a scoop getting him to be honest and loved his portrayal of Seb. I suspect Capaldi being the Doctor may have had something to do with him wanting to take the part.

Re: Doctor Who [9]
You are still free to dislike him or his performance of course Az. Just I thought calling him a 'comedian' given his CV was selling him a bit short.

Re: Doctor Who [9]
I wondered a bit about the Cybermen inclusion. Does the Master have some tie in with them from earlier in the series? Because it seemed a bit like.. cram in arbitrary iconic show monster..

Re: Doctor Who [9]
I dont think there has been a cyberman Master team up before. But thats no bad thing.
On the otherhand meglomaniac insane schemes to break the Doctors favourite toy, earth, whilst grinning like a loon and chewing up the scenery, has always been what the Master was all about.
