Curious lack of Dr. Who Reaction Posts...

...so I may as well start the ball rolling.



I enjoyed it. A lot of unanswered questions, such as why aren't the planes being left behind in the Earth's orbit as time goes on around them, but it sort of worked as an idea. It's pretty obvious that the Doctor is not going to let Davros die in the past, that won't actually help much (unless he wants to see the whole universe eaten by paradox monsters), so I'm guessing that he's going to save the boy, try to improve his life etc., but fail miserably.

As for Missy, she's obviously used the vortex manipulator to rescue herself, Clara, and the TARDIS, but the details should be interesting. Looking forward to seeing how it comes out, and what (if anything happens to the tank, the sudden introduction of the word "Dude!" etc.


There will probably be more spoilers in comments if any.

It's a shame they didn't mount their uber gun on the special weapons dalek.

Though I'm not sure why the Daleks thought they finally had a laser big enough to zap the Tardis?

I'm assuming they didn't. But maybe they did and the next episdoe will be the Doctor changing the past to save Clara and the tardis.

It was an opportunity missed, not having the SWD delivering the coup de grace...

I agree, though - massive Dalek overconfidence on display. I suspect they'll be feeling less in control of the situation by the end of next week's episode.

Somewhere there was a committee meeting, 'Do we have to invite SWD?' 'Yeah, we do, SWD never gets invited to anything. Let him come to this.'

I take it both of you have seen Second Empire, the Dalek webcomic, now complete?
