I thought John Simm was excellent tonight. Take all the maudlin Bill / puddle stuff away and it was a very good episode. Look forward to the Christmas special. trebor8273 and nosferatu42 like this.  |

Saw The Doctor Falls last night. It was.... quite good, I guess. Nowhere near as good as last week's, predictably, and back to the usual New Who 'spectacular', but as far as that goes, it was actually... okay. Certainly the best finale since The Big Bang all the waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in series 5. All a bit messy and plotless but entertaining enough thanks to the cast (I do hope Simm comes back again some time). Bill's fate was well done, and I actually saw it coming after last week's. Some people are annoyed by that but at least it was set up in the season premiere, and it would have been too grim by far to have had her stay and die as a Cyberman. Really not sure about this Bradley thing, though. I find it vaguely irritating that Moffat avoided using the classic Doctors like the plague in the 50th (bar 30 seconds of Tom) and then suddenly decides to have a multi-Doctor story with a classic Doctor in Capaldi's regeneration story and then, to rub salt in the wound, elects to recast a dead man rather than use any of the real classic Doctors whose actors are still actually bloody alive!  All in all series 10 was okay. It was a massive improvement on the utterly dire three previous seasons just by virtue of being an average, passable enough season, if nothing extraordinary. Still very glad we have only one to go and this era will finally be over though!  trebor8273 likes this. |

Me I would of preferred a grim ending for bill instead of the usual cop out moffat ending. Me I'm glad she's gone she was so annoying in the episode and don't get me started on the whole puddle thing. Bad writing and poor acting hoping we get a better companion for series 11, be hard to get one worse than Bill and Clara! Demdike@Cult Labs likes this. |

How do you explain the First Doctor not looking anything like Hartnell?!!? Talk about a lame excuse!  It doesn't help that I thought Bradley was pretty awful in his "Doctor" scenes in AIISAT, and his delivery of "the original, you might say" was pretty weak even compared to Hurndall! |

I find that sort of snide comment quite insulting tbh. And as for that "not white as well" comment.... I suppose if they decide to make James Bond black, and some people have a problem (even though he's described as looking like Hoagy carmichael ) that'll be a cause for the PC brigade to get all huffy and cry racist (or sexist, if we ever got a "Jane Bond"?

Apparently, this illustration was only used for the first editions of the Target 'Tenth Planet' release. It isn't on the reprints  SPOILER: nosferatu42 likes this.
