What Did You Think of Episode 11 Dark Water?
In the mysterious world of the Nethersphere, plans have been drawn up.
Missy is about to come face to face with the Doctor, and an impossible choice is looming.

Now that the 11th episode of series 8 has been aired what did you think? Was it everything you had hoped for or not what you expected…

November 2nd, 2014 - 11:52amits a lie. People are given the choice to either feel the pain or delete it and become a cyberman. Its a ploy to trick people into chosing no emotion.

November 2nd, 2014 - 11:47amprobably not until the end of series 10. Moffat does that.

November 2nd, 2014 - 11:41amthe cybermen are converted people, organic cpmonents in a metal suit….NOT robots. Always have been….until moffat blured the lines and ruined them…..(just like the daleks, silurians, sontarans and zygons.)

November 2nd, 2014 - 11:35amI loved the episode, and the master becoming a women. I hope we get the explanation on how he changed and also why Missy said I like his new accent though, think I might keep it!

November 2nd, 2014 - 11:29amI think moffat has always secretly wanted ago in to turning the doctor into a woman
and when he realised us whovians would hate it
he decided to turn the master into a woman and I liked it
the astronaut of death
November 2nd, 2014 - 11:27amwell she still could be the woman in the shop as we have got another episode next week!

November 2nd, 2014 - 11:15amI just re-watched deep breath and realised something. If you look closely at the doors on the clockwork droids ship you can see it has the same cyber-eye shape just like the doors in dark water. Not sure if this is just a coincidence or if there’s a connection such as the cybermen or Missy being the reason why the clockwork droids came to earth.

November 2nd, 2014 - 11:11amWOW, what an episode, Was rather hoping that Missy would be The Rani, I just found it hard to believe that The Master would refer to The Doctor as his Boyfriend, and if Missy was the person who gave Clara the Tardis telephone number, why didn’t Clara recognise her???
I have my suspicions that there IS more to Missy’s identity than meets the eye, and the same for Seb!!
But if Missy is The Master will we find out the reason for the regeneration & how he/she escaped from Gallifrey (thus is it back???)

November 2nd, 2014 - 10:48amThat always confused me though. If the invasion in army of ghosts was erased from time with the whole universe reboot thing how is Rose in the parallel world? She wouldn’t have ended up there if those events never happened.
Last Goth Standing
November 2nd, 2014 - 10:46amThinking about the end of the last series and the beginning of this, I would like to postulate the following theory: It is said that no-one survives entering the time line, the Great Intelligence didn’t so maybe neither did Clara, making the current Clara an imposter who has been carefully manipulating The Doctor whilst Missy gains sufficient strength and resources to put an end to the planet The Doctor has sworn to protect.
Series Eight has been very inconsistent so far but it is still possible to the most of the “loose ends” up if the concluding episode is sufficiently spectacular…!!!
The likelihood, however, us that we will have to wait until Christmas for the finale.

November 2nd, 2014 - 10:34amNo they wont, Steven Moffat practically re-wrote all of the first five series with the pandorica ark, so the cybermen’s invasion in army of ghosts would have been erased from time.

November 2nd, 2014 - 10:18amI enjoyed it, but the three words were too far and too relatable for people in the real world.

November 2nd, 2014 - 9:41amSo if Missy wasn’t the Woman in the Shop, I wonder who was???
ZygonTerror
November 2nd, 2014 - 9:19amOne thing I am wondering is, if Missy was the woman in the shop who gave Clara the Doctor’s phone number then why did she not mention it when she and the Doctor first encounter Missy?
Exterminator
November 2nd, 2014 - 9:14amWow what a great episode. I loved Capaldi in this one. He’s just brilliant as the Doctor.
I really like the Missy character, she’s funny and evil at the same time. I’m not sure about her being the master yet, they could’ve made her someone from the Doctors and the Masters past and it’s Missy that brings the Master back. I hope she has a tardis that we see inside too as it would be fantastic if it’s the red phone box!
When the Doctor put Clara’s fingers into the psychic link and told her to think about where Danny is now, the tardis took them to him, couldn’t the Doctor do the same with Gallifrey?
The Cybermen looked great in this episode. Loved the skeletons turning into cybermen as the tanks drained.
I can’t wait to see next weeks finale.

November 2nd, 2014 - 9:01amYou’re not the only one. I was quite uncomfortable watching it. The episode reminded me of the very worst of Torchwood, pointlessly nasty just to seem like it’s attempting to be mature.
In the past I’ve been one of the first to stand up for Moffat and Clara but even I found this episode a step too far. It’s not that he’s a bad writer it’s just that wasn’t what he should has written.
CJ
November 2nd, 2014 - 8:44amI’m suprised some people here can’t accept the Master is now a woman, I think its a clever idea having a female Master! 😀
DJ
November 2nd, 2014 - 8:26amWill the general public of London remember the cyberman invasion from army of ghosts etc? James Cordon never mentioned it when in closing time episode. They were apparently all over the world.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
November 2nd, 2014 - 7:42amWell call me stubborn if you like, but I refuse to believe Missy is the Master.
It’s daft, and smacks of desperation for people who want a female Doctor so badly which is never going to happen [unless a female Doctor appears and it turns out she’s not from the Doctors future but a parallel universe where she always female to begin with].
River Song always said “Rule 1, the Doctor lies”, so therefore I don’t have to believe that nonsense about the Corsair mentioned in ‘The Doctors Wife’ about him being ‘a bad girl’ a couple of times, plus it’s never been shown on screen that Time Lord’s can change gender, so I will never believe any of that nonsense.
If Missy is the Master, then Moffat is gonna have to give a damn good explanation to convince me, but until then, I stand by what I say 😛
DOCTOR WHO ONE
November 2nd, 2014 - 7:37amI agree.
Mmmm
November 2nd, 2014 - 7:13amReally disappointed. I’ve been a fan since I was a little child but the whole timelord changing sex thing has ended that for me. It’s a shame as the “New” series started to settle with Peter Capaldi getting back more to the William Hartnell type figure.

November 2nd, 2014 - 2:38amWoah! Where is Doctor Who going? Am I the only one that felt uncomfortable watching this episode? But as always with this series 8, I just don’t know why… Capaldi was truly excellent! Maybe the best acting of any Doctor to date… But there are holes… It’s like watching/ listening a great opera star doing a soap opera… I still think it’s the character of Clara that’s ruining the mix… That “go to hell” moment was awesome! My prediction is that the last episode will be a let down. “I chose her well” I like the idea of she being a cyborg in this series, like someone here suggested. I’m looking forward to Coara’s end, and to series 9 without her, and perhaps please without Moffat… That would be my version of Doctor Who heaven 🙂

November 2nd, 2014 - 2:00amDark Water was amazing! best episode with the 12th doctor so far. can’t wait until next week.
Sid Rat
November 2nd, 2014 - 1:41amYeah CJ, I’m very curious about what happened to the Master after The End of Time too!!
Sid Rat
November 2nd, 2014 - 1:40amQuite enjoyed the episode. Doctor was a little better, Clara was great, pleased at the return of the Master but was hoping that Missy was going to be the Master’s wife (a nemesis to the memory of River Song) and that the appearance of the Master would be in addition to Missy. Hope next week’s finale is good finish before the Xmas Special.
