Doctor Who season eight

RE: Doctor Who season eight

That line actually struck me as something the Master might say, given that s/he was in disguise and baiting the Doctor at that point. So it gets a pass from me. The Cybermen were a bit more troublesome though. I didn't mind the whole skeleton thing, if we assume that these are newly 'upgraded' from the recently deceased and sort of retooled for the purpose. I know it doesn't make sense in the context of their redesign, which is a continuity error of sorts, but I could see how it fitted in with the Hallowe'en broadcast slot if that's what they were going for. I just want to know how they were able to manufacture a Cyber army right in the middle of London. Maybe it all happened somewhere else and they were transported there? Did the Mistress née Master get his TARDIS back and use that? How did he manage to escape from Gallifrey anyway, and does his new appearance have anything to do with it?

One thing that struck me was that if only organic matter is visible in this dark water, does that mean the the Cybermen's chairs were also organic? Why were their skeletal arses so obviously in ciontact with them, given they were encased in Cyberarmour?

I was intrigued by the whole Danny Pink storyline and I'm actually looking forward to seeing how it all ties together. That little boy is probably the key.

I hope they don't pull an RTD and throw everything out of the window in the final instalment, Dick Barton-style (and with one bound he was free!). For example, Danny downloads himself into a Cyberman and uses his soldier skills to destroy all the bad guys, while the Doctor (or more likely Clara) waggles the Sonic Screwdriver at Missy and Magic Happens. If so, I'll probably put my TARDIS through the telly and send UNIT the bill (thanks, Viz).

I'm becoming more and more despondent as time passes.

Firstly, they over-hype David Tenant who is at best a lightweight actor with a leaning for comedy (his Hamlet came across as desperately inadequate up against Patrick Stewart), but he got great scripts.

Then they hire Matt Smith, who was one of the best actors I've seen in the role, and give him poor scripts that got worse and worse as the series progressed.

Now we have another mediocre comedy lightweight and to add insult to injury, with poor scripts, it simply can't get any worse unless they change Clara for Cheryl 'face-like-a-smacked-arse' Tweedy/Cole/Tweedy.

Uuuuugh!

"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
