    First part I struggled with, mostly because I was knackered from moving house and Halloween partying.

    But what a second half. Absolutely glorious stuff.

    It's amusing that they refuse to answer the question about which Osgood is which. I think that might be poking a bit at the fans who keep asking.

    I liked the episode, aside from the one point with pretending Clara is more special than she is. One question that came to my mind is, "Do they really give every companion of the Doctor access to all that secret stuff?" And my friend immediately pointed out, "Wait, they've had FIFTEEN attempted revolutions?!?" Guess he didn't think earlier to actually have someone remember what nearly happened.

    But yeah, pretty much summed up war really good there. You get a bunch of people killed until you finally sit down and talk like you should have in the first bloody place.

    Bit a damp squib this week for me.

    I was left with too much of a 'huh?' feeling throughout.

    Still, that's the first episode this season that's been duff, and 8 out of 9 is not bad going at all.

    to be honest, I've only really liked the Dalek Episodes and Zygon Episodes so far this season, I've felt the other episodes have been a bit mehh.....

    The weird space station episode was... odd. I'm not sure what the resolution actually was?

    This past weekend's episode, though... brilliant, IMO. I like Ashildr/Me. My friend thinks she's kind of a b****, but I recognize that she's in a tough spot and, honestly, the Doctor does leave a bit of a mess around (because saving the world does result in collateral damage). The thing that really surprised me, though, is what she's doing with a drug last seen in use by Torchwood.

    Clara's death would have been a much better scene if she hadn't done this whole thing before it where she acted like her death would change the Doctor and all that. She's not even the most important companion he's had. He's had to say goodbye to a LOT of people, and had to kill a lot of them. And his going absolutely nuts on someone wouldn't really be him "changing" that much (since he's done it before). So she's basically just acting like she's so much more important than she is, and it's just annoying with how far they go with it. She saw the whole Time War thing and should have an inkling what he's been through, she went to Trenzalore with him and saw him say goodbye to his wife's ghost (and saw the littered battleground that was his potential grave), she saw him obliterate a bunch of Daleks who were threatening Christmas, she's apparently read a lot of his journals. So why does she think she's so much bigger than anyone who's ever been in his life, and that him unleashing rage would make him different? For heaven's sake, the Daleks keep pointing out that he's incredibly like them in how much anger he has. That's one thing I won't miss about Clara. That self-importance and smugness was getting to be way too much.

    If Missy was indeed meant to show up again this season, it seems like she might be involved in the coming episodes, but I'm not sure how.

    I'm trying to run through theories of who might have set up the trap. One of my first thoughts was the Gallifreyans, but they did give him all those regenerations and all. Then again, I don't think the leadership changed, and even if it went back to how it was, they were always pissed off at him, and they'd have the technology to summon his old ghosts to mess with him. Too subtle for Daleks, or even Cybermen. Missy screwing with his head doesn't seem right given what happened earlier in the season (and given how he acted when she almost led him to kill Clara, he'd really go off if she did lead to Clara's death). Maybe with him saving Gallifrey, he also saved other Time Lords who really hated him.

    So many possibilities... Have to wait to see what really happens. Gah!

    Well, I believe River Song is coming back into it - though I think that's the Chrimbo Special.

    Ah well. Only a few days until we know more!

    That was actually alright, reasonably interesting, found Clara as boring as any of the other modern-who companions so glad to be rid of her. Would personally have a japanese feudal Onna-bugeisha (Female samurai) but itll probably be yet another modern british girl mary-sue that loves the doctor.

    Donna is an underrated companion, but I think of the modern ones only Martha was particularly interestg (and also adawble). But yes can we please, please, please have a non-modern companion? No more modern wimmins please.
    Ask not the EldarGal a question, for she will give you three answers, all of which are puns and terrifying to know. Back off man, I'm a feminist. Ia! Ia! Gloppal Snode!
