cool arrow Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Well, at least Clara wasn't in it much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 It had some moments that could have been better, though I do think all of them were character driven. The last few minutes were very good. I'd call it a solid double in a season of triples. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuetsar Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 The contrast between Massie Williams(spell?) and Jenna Coleman couldn't be more blunt though. The second clara is on the scene the chemistry grinds to a halt. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Frankly, I think Coleman's been very good this season, portraying the general competance of a long-time companion, authority over people not in the know, actualized bantering with the Doctor as she's hit the end of her character arc with him and the witty back and forth and sufficient horror in a situation such as when she was within the Dalek shell. Not sure where the complaint is coming from. Alternatively, while I think Williams' performed valiantly with a much harder role, there were definitely moments in this episode where I didn't quite buy her performance (some of that could have been the character pretending to be various shades of herself, but I only felt it worked maybe 2/3rds of the time). Most of the time, I really did, especially in that last patch which was the best part of the episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Ok episode. The "invasion" or whatever the hell that was gave the impression that something more was supposed to be going on but they didn't have the budget for it. Anyway, the character beats were nice--like Lady Me realizing that she actually does care for people after all, and the Doctor understanding, having been through the same headspace himself. Really seems like this season is meant as a minor reset after last season. More Capaldi is great. I'm hoping for five seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Yeah, so I kind of want that. Not sure what I'd do with it though. I have two pac man ghosts on my desk at work but that's ironic and non-specific enough that I can get away with it (also a culture thing in that a lot of people who stop by the desk have no idea what they are). Outright Doctor Who action figure wouldn't fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuroresuFan Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I'm definitely getting that. I never cared for the movie but then that webisode came out and what he did in those six minutes was amazing. Since then, I've been hoping to see him get a larger role in some type of crossover down the line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 That WOULD be a guaranteed buy for me, but the fact that he's exclusive to TRU UK makes me think any chance of getting it from Big Bad or whoever for a price I can pay is nil.

odessasteps Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 Nothing says "family tv show" than terror camps and aping ISIS beheading videos and a rocket launcher shooting down a plane. That said, heel Jenna Coleman ~! All we need next week is Vapaldi wearing's The tartan cap Tom wore in the zygon episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Is Osgood dead? I made it to the scene where they were considering an air strike before tapping out. Hopefully when Moffat fucks off, we never have to see that fangirl carricature again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 No. She is alive on an airplane with the doctor at the end of the episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Maybe. We saw her get clone zapped by a Zygon in the beginning, but that would leave her alive, since Osgood said that even though Zygon's don't need the host alive to keep up the copy anymore, they still need the copy for new info. So, we don't know if she's alive or dead. We also don't know if the clone zap for Osgood was legit replacment, or a "good" Zygon trick, since I imagine they aren't killing off Baby Brig.

Raziel Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Could be, depends on if Zygon Osgood could work without human Osgood, like the Doctor inquired. Osgood could've been bullshitting in her explaination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 We will never know if Osgood is human or not. That's the whole point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Hanger Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Appropriately, the first set of new-series UNIT audio plays is out Monday. (Craig, this may interest you since it's basically Osgood and Kate when the Doctor's not available). Probably skipping it for now, as War Doctor is out next month and Diary of River (w/McGann) is in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
