November 8th, 2014 - 10:43pmI’m glad Gallifrey wasn’t there because I think it be a bit to early if the Doctor found it now maybe leave a couple years when hes in a different incarnation and then he finds it

November 8th, 2014 - 10:38pmYep, nothing there when the Tardis door opened. It is a shame the Doctor didn’t regenerate, I don’t rate him as the Doctor at all (sorry CJ). Glad to hear Clara is in the Christmas special. Nick Frost in Christmas special, he never appears without Simon Pegg…return of ‘The Editor’!!

November 8th, 2014 - 10:26pmMissy as the Master is just brilliant, I’m already used to her being a woman now. I loved how evil she was in this episode. Killing Seb and Osgood was a bit of a shock though but I’m glad Kate survived. Missy’s Mary Poppins impression was fantastic, she was even doing the feet as she flew with the umbrella.
Danny as a cyberman actually totally redeemed an otherwise dull character The cybermen were very cool too, their new voice is such an improvement and the flying looks fantastic. Great idea. I would’ve like to see the cybermen killing and upgrading a few people.
The end of the episode was a bit of an anticlimax, I really wanted Missy to escape in her Tardis and take a few of the Cybermen with her, so we know they’re going to return.
Peter Capaldi is wonderful, he’s already made the part his own.
I want series 9 to be less childish than this season was. More deaths, more tension, more cliff hangers more monsters and aliens, more alien worlds and more of the Doctor saving the day and not the assistant!

November 8th, 2014 - 10:01pmIt’s high time for some new talent. I am finding these series finales very formulaic. The idea was fine, just that the narrative is hurried along to try and lever everything in for the conclusion. Every season finale has a situation that is catastrophic for the Earth, that is miraculously undone in just a few minutes.
I think Capaldi has that strange quality that will put him up with Tom Baker – if the scripts are good. Don’t get me wrong, there have been some great moments this year, it’s definitely being nudged into darker territories…

November 8th, 2014 - 9:58pmAfter last weeks episode (the best of the cliffhangers in my opinion) I was really looking foraward to the final instalement tonight. I am very dissapointed with most of it. The Master being female now is just wrong, totally wrong. What happened to the globe in St Pauls Cathedral? Where did the Brigadier Cyberman fly off to? The fact that no-one noticed the tardis vanish in the shopping mall at the end? How did Danny bring that kid over from the ‘other side’? AND alas another xmas episode with a santa. We do not want childish episodes anymore. Give us some decent scary and slightly amusing tales of the doctor PLEASE! oh and get rid of that squeeling noise in the theme tune.
On the plus side some great performances from some of the cast. I have enjoyed Mr Capaldis’ version of the Doctor and looking forward to him searching for Gallifrey in series 9.

November 8th, 2014 - 9:51pmmoffats not a director he is a writer
Gallifrey Will Rise Again
November 8th, 2014 - 9:50pmMy favourite series finale since series 2.
I liked all the subtle references to the past. And I liked the idea that the brig saved kate from falling to her death.
I hate how Osgood died but it may have been the zygon version of her from the 50th.
Danny as a cyberman was incredible so sad, but loved how he saved the day. I still think however danny will be back somehow and clara and him will live happily ever after.
The ending however was extremely odd what with clara and the doctor lying to each other, and shockingly the doctor beating the holy hell out of the tardis (beginning of the valeyard?)
Not to keen on the idea of santa in an episode though to be honest
Doctor Stu
November 8th, 2014 - 9:49pmI don’t think gallifrey is back I think when missy said gallifreys back where it belongs I think she meant that it was back where it was originally (destroyed in the time war) and that’s why the doctor was so mad because he opened the TARDIS door and there was nothing there
CJ
November 8th, 2014 - 9:49pmWhat? Clara is in the Christmas Special! Peter Capaldi is already a better Doctor and Gallifrey isn’t back!

November 8th, 2014 - 9:48pmI think the Master was shot by the Cyberman. However, she/he could come back, all Moffat needs to do is say she/he teleported!
