I'm not a doctor, but I'm fairly sure you can't just hold your breath until you pass out.

I think it was more that she couldn't breathe while there were the cyborgs around and she couldn't hold her breath that long.

Edit: And please never, ever, ever again use as terrible a sound effect as was used in the Doctor/Vastra mental link scene :cripes:

Hey, it's been a staple of many 50 year old franchises.

Girl in the Fireplace, you should have remembered that one because this episode lifted from it liberally

They even mentioned that the crashed ship was a sister ship to that one.

You'd have to visually alter the Cybermen pretty heavily for it to work too, whereas here it's just "dude with partially exposed skull".

The Doctor becoming more human has been a plot point since literally 1964.

I think it's quite likely to be correct, on reflection. It's foreshadowed in dialogue as mentioned above, and suggested in her costume as she's dressed as a nanny. And "mistress" is another word for a female teacher, so the "Missy=Master" thing could be the case of the correct etymology giving completely the wrong answer.

There's also a theory that she may be the Valeyard in another form.

I'm sorry to go on yet another rant about this, but seriously, when you read a thread please just don't focus on one or two wildly negative posts as being representative of the entire thread, because it simply isn't true.


It doesn't help that the negative posts tend to come from the same people. Like, this episode is an exception because most people didn't like the T-Rex and stuff but it is a recurring thing.

Ok so how many times has the Doctor been to the most dangerous place in the universe because it must be like 17 times by now.

To be fair, that's a thing that would vary with time.

Asking for "the tumblr" verdict on something is a little like asking what the Twitter verdict is or the Wordpress verdict is in my opinion. You might as well ask the earth's consensus is.

It's code for "young woman".

I mean I get that everyone on the show wanted something flashier and definitive for the pair to go out on, it just...didn't quite work. Although Angels Take Manhattan does has my all time favorite joke in the history of Doctor Who



I would've been happy with "Make the Superbowl" personally. :sigh:

But seriously, who actually thinks Daleks are scary?

Daleks are like angry dwarves with guns - very farcical, but still very dangerous.

I like Davros as a character at least half of the time he's used, I think.

Davros was definitely one of the high points of the S4 finale.
