Death in Heaven - Reaction and Discussion Post [SPOILERS!]

After the beginning of the end and the end of the beginning, we proceed to...the finale! Yes, here it is - after what has imho on the whole been a rather successful debut season for the Capaldinator, can they stick the landing in the final episode? Time will tell, as always, but I think after last week's revelations and looking at the trailer and ( Read more... )

Well that ep was a rollercoaster of emotion. I am pissed off that Missy killed Osgood. NOT allowed! I actually shouted "You bitch!" at her when she did that!

I'm glad Kate survived - and caught by her Cyberman dad. *cries buckets*

And the Doctor and Clara STILL lying to each other to the end.

Danny was brilliant. I can't say I warmed to him hugely - mainly because he was underused and too much the butt of 12's jokes (and it was bad enough when RTD did that to Mickey) - but his actions were fantastic.

And OF COURSE Missy's not dead - she wasn't killed by Cyber!Brig, 12 transported her out of there.

BUT

What the hell was all that about with Gallifrey??

Ah. So Missy lied to Twelve about it - then he lied to Clara about it, while she didn't bother correcting his misapprehension of what she was going to tell him.

They're a right bunch of liars!

They certainly are!

It was rough, but perfectly in character (and character-defining) for Missy - the bit where she crushed the glasses underfoot... Brrr.

Aw, the CyberBrig, I don't know - got me "right here", anyway.

The Doctor and Clara will always be lying to each other, I fear. It's going to be interesting if this doesn't turn out to be the end of their association. Agreed on Danny - some great character moments and acting in this one, as has been the case throughout Series 8.

Yes, the glasses-crushing made me shudder properly...

I confess to being intrigued about the Christmas episode...

Seriously. I guess the Master's interactions with humans have always had that "cat toying with a mouse" sort of vibe to them, just with a bit more restraint in Delgado's day. The outcome was usually the same.

I know - surely it's not really Father Christmas??

persiflage_1 November 9 2014, 16:23:42 UTC

Yup.

I've no idea - at this point I'm not even going to guess whether it's really him or not!
