The Doctor Falls.... (Spoilers)
- Thread starter Timofnine
- Start date
Strange - I've only seen the first third of the season, but it's been head and shoulders better than the previous seasons so far...
So its only for the one episode? I thought the Cybermen-Master story was gonna be two eps... back to single-episode finales?
Two-part story with a cliffhanger, World Enough And Time is the first half.
It is, just up until now we only had information on Part 1, this is the first info for part 2 made available.
His final battle again? The character played by Claire Bloom in The End Of Time, when speaking with Wild seemed to think that the Doctor was destined to die during the events of that story,
Maybe they'll kill him off and have another character continue his legacy. Nardole or Missy claiming to be the Doctor, maybe? Something like this will probably happen eventually, as it seems to with all major superheroes. He could be back in a year or five using any of a whole host of possible in-universe methods. But it might be nice, for the time being, for him to stop at thirteen incarnations and to end up buried on Trenzalore.
I think Moffat has said that the Christmas Special is about "redemption". Interesting...

Very familiar.
"Goodness is not goodness that seeks advantage. Good is good in the final hour, in the deepest pit without hope, without witness, without reward. Virtue is only virtue in extremis. This is what he believes, and this is the reason, above all, I love him. My husband. My madman in a box. My Doctor." - River Song, 'Extremis'
"Old friend, is she? If you have ever let this creature [Missy/The Master] live, everything that happened today is on you. All of it - on YOU. And you're not going to let her live again." - Clara Oswald, 'Death in Heaven'
Those, I think, are two quotes to bear in mind as we go into this final two-parter.

I'm hoping we get an epic finale where Missy joins forces with the Master and the Doctor is faced with the threat of Cybermen controlled by 2 Masters!!
New trailer from BBC America for the finale:
Not Mondasian voices - at least not yet...
^^I am sure they will........looks like we get to see them being made. 
I have not watched any of this season yet as i was waiting to watch in a binge once it was finished......but the Mondas Cybermen did it for me, i will be watching these epsidoes.

Another clip from the next episode where Missy pretends to be the Doctor for great comedic effect:
Why in Gods' name does she say "I'm Doctor Who"? He's never said that.
I think the whole scene is meant as a joke. The idea is that Missy is trying to imitate the Doctor but is getting it all wrong because she is not the Doctor. The whole scene is basically a parody.
Maybe this a clue that she is 'good' at impersonation and is currently impersonating... the Master! Perhaps she is in fact the Rani teamed up with the Master to distract the Doctor for some reason whilst the real Master gets up to no good? Or not!
^^ The thought has occurred to me, I must admit. The Rani was certainly familiar with the Master's m.o. (& had a very low opinion of it). And Missy does seem more competent a villain than the classic Master had been (as Rani would be). And has Missy even once tried to hypnotize anybody?
