That was fun. God, I've missed Capaldi.

It had everything to do with pods, it had everything to do with people, and it had NOTHING to do with DEEP HURTING.

The Venn Diagram of Clara's presence and the show's decline being close to a circle might be correlation rather than causation, but I'm glad she's dead.

Hey guess what: Clara owns, she's immortal, she has her own tardis, eat turds forever

I really liked it! It reminded me of a couple of the more creative Big Finish ones - and I think there were some light jabs at audio drama storytelling conventions, like lots of Nardolle's exposition to the Doctor.

They want someone more marketable, more attractive.

In many ways, it's 1986 all over again. I'm furious that my two favorite Doctors ever have both been foisted out prematurely.

I believe that the British Empire troops definitely had East African troops back then but certainly not integrated into mainline regiments like that one black soldier was.
The Romans used North African auxiliaries though, so the presence of a black legionary makes more sense.

Quite often the extras that the BBC use don't seem to fit the period they are supposed to be appearing in, Robin Hood definitely had this problem too. Many of the people they use look like they have stepped off the Eastenders set.

Good,

Complaining about "historical accuracy" w/r/t there being "too many people of color" in a show about time-travel and psychic powers is so inane as to beggar belief.

What even was that show? Like a doctor who for adults who liked sexy times? When that girl turned into one of the Cybermen and HOO BOY you can almost see her vaginer, look at that! I stopped watching.

Describing Torchwood as "for adults" is incredibly generous.

Soooo, looks like the Doctor is training Missy as his replacement. That's one way of getting around the whole regeneration limit.

there is no regeneration limit any more, it's a boring plot and has therefore been discarded.

A delightfully creepy episode

I hadn't been spoiled on the fact the guy hanging out with Bill was in fact Simms until he peeled his face off, so that was a neat twist

"A positive attitude will help with the horror to come."
"What horror?"
"Mainly the tea."

"When you hug me, it hurts my heart."
"Aw, sweet."
"No, your chest piece, it digs right in."

Fingers crossed Moffat has the balls to keep Bill "dead" and not pull a Clara on us

killing a gay black woman off would be loving vile

because there are no gay black women on tv and when gay women and women of color do show up, they are killed off violently or tragically at disproportionate rates.
