The American networks will love that.

If this series' ditching of mid-series breaks is anything to go by, they probably don't give a strawberry float.

Been catching up on this. Flatline was excellent. Mummy was great and Kill the moon and this last one were alright.
Obvious flame proof trees were obvious though.
Also wtf at the end

[Rog]

As if they haven't ruined Clara enough they're now having her pull this gooseberry fool

Company logo... window in door... Cyberman's eye, right?

Oh, I WONDER what the dark water is disguising.

Is it a dalek?

[Pedro]

Is there only 4 different recurring Who villains? New Who seems to have overused Daleks, Cybermen and The Master so much that none of them have any impact anymore.

[Lagamorph]

Well that cliffhanger was just evil.

[rinks]

Kind of disappointed that the "Missy" name was so obvious, and not a red herring.

[Senor_Coconut]

Why show the Cybermen in the trailer ffs?

Liked the little nod to Malcolm Tucker . So the Master again, should be interesting to see how they've brought him/her back

[Memento Mori]

Ignoring the first fifteen minutes or so that was a reasonably good episode. Though why they revealed in advance that the cybermen were in this episode I'll never know. I would have preferred they use The Rani at last instead of Master again.

[The Watching Artist]

That would have been brilliant if the Cybermen hadn't been plastered everywhere. Although in fairness the location filming would have killed any surprise but still, it felt like I was just waiting 45 mins basically for the story to catch up. The build up was great though.

Not sure I like the Missy reveal at all. Just feels to me like its been done so people would be surprised and shocked at the twist. Just make a new character ffs. I'm not sure the Rani would work, doesn't fit her M.O.

[rinks]

Hadn't seen the trailer, so I didn't know about the Cybermen. Yeah, pretty daft to put that in the trailer.

[Lagamorph]

I didn't actually know in advance that the Cybermen were in this. Didn't click until the elevator doors closed.

[Qikz]

They've said before that Time Lords can regenerate into either gender and I think her character makes a pretty good master. If I hadn't have known the cybermen were in the episode beforehand I wouldn't have guessed it was them at all (I missed the eye thing, sorry but I've never paid that much attention to remember such a minute detail) and I thought overall that was a pretty sick episode.

[Moggy]

Great episode and I'm really looking forward to next week.

Hopefully we get a flashback of John Sim turning into a girl.

[Skippy]

Great stuff, shame the Cybermen with in the trailer - made all the twists a bit obvious.

I understand people not liking them re-using Daleks and Cybermen but The Master? We haven't seen that character for four years. Looking forward to people inevitably using this as a reason to have a woman play The Doctor further down the line

[Pedz]

Rather have a new character than a character with a sex change Tbh.
