Dr Who… Awesome News If You're A Fan
Discussion
Davros stuff was mostly tedious.
How stupid was Clara not to have ever thought "open up" since that was all she had to do to get out in the end.
Liked when Missy poked Davros in the "eye".
Little or no explanation of the Essex/party "time to die soon" stuff that was in the first part ... maybe more of that as the series unfolds?
So I guess we will be seeing more of the shades then!

I liked it. I liked the fake humanity and compassion shown by Davros and thought him actually opening his eyes with the tears was a clever touch.
Was also surprised that being stuck inside something you would not think 'open'.
But...Yes another prop ready for Christmas. A pair of sunglasses.

) . Not sure on the sonic sunglasses, but let's see what happens there.Capaldi I really like. The scripting I find pretty nonsensical (even putting aside this is sci-fi). It still bugs me all these years later that they had Rose "erase Daleks from existence" (ie so they never existed) and then just ignored that as soon as it suited. Missy gets exterminated and you see her get exterminated - and yet by a poorly explained plot device there she is alive and well in the next episode. So basically "take everything with a pinch of salt because we can just make anything up and explain it".
We've watched all the reboot since Ecclestone - but despite how good Capaldi is we're both now thinking "the writers are just taking the piss; this is lazy, uncreative stuff" and really not sure whether to give next week's a go. Shame; they have a fine doctor in Capaldi.

+1. There used to be rules about how things worked, and a form of scientific explanation required for most things (OK some were ridiculous and others were routinely ignored - Blinovitch Limitation Effect anybody ?) and how the Dr. wouldn't interfere unless he had to. Now it's all just too rushed, highly dependent on "new agey" concepts and simplified in pursuit of ratings.We've watched all the reboot since Ecclestone - but despite how good Capaldi is we're both now thinking "the writers are just taking the piss; this is lazy, uncreative stuff" and really not sure whether to give next week's a go.

There's no such thing as consistency or canon in the who universe. They normally just do whatever they want.
Watched it with my son on saturday evening, so far we've loved both episodes. Enjoyable saturday evening viewing.
Really loving Capaldi's Doctor now - Especially the humour, which infecting others around him - Davros got the two best jokes though
Doctor - You really are dying?
Davros - Look at me, do you doubt it?
Dr - Yes
Dv - Then we have established one thing...
Dr - What?
Dv - You are not a good doctor
And the very best one -
Davros - I hope you are grateful, it wasn't easy to procure, and very nearly unique of course. You should feel privileged...
Doctor - ?
Davros - The only other chair on Skaro !
