It Takes You Away was a well done episode. Defining moment for Graham, being able to say goodbye to Grace, AND get the acknowledgement from Ryan as Grandad. Which can only mean Graham dies in the war Doc gets into next week because no one can be happy in Who.
Or, at least, that's how it was under Moffat.

After not giving us a Christmas special there is, apparently, going to be a New Year special episode and then the next season won’t start until 2020. If this is true then it is appalling. What a clanger by the BBC and the show’s producers. Assuming there will be no classic enemies like he Daleks in the NewYear’s episode then it will be at least a full 2 years before we see the show go back to its roots and put the Doctor against her mortal enemies as well as the Cybermen etc.
I’m a really big Doctor Who fan but missing a whole calendar year of it is going to be a hammer blow for me and this incarnation of the Doctor. The same thing happened to Westworld. I saw every episode of season 1 but haven’t seen a single episode in season 2.
I haven’t watched today’s episode. Hopefully that and/or the New Year’s special will end on a massive cliffhanger.
I can see a lot of people losing interest in the show. A lot of new fans and kids.

BRILLIANT finale. Chibs gave us just enough of a fresh take on the Dalek (how it can survive in certain situations without its casing) while remaining true to the Dalek nature. Lots of death. Lots of The Doctor being both vengeful yet terrified.
"WHO. ARE. YOU?"
"Oi mate, I'm The Doctor. Ring any bells?"
**Dalek fries her sonic and starts shooting wildly"
"I'LL TAKE THAT AS A YES."
That scene was marvelous. It's almost like Chibnal didn't HAVE too only use new villains every episode the whole series.
The jab at Brexit when The Doctor tried to get ahold of UNIT and Torchwood but couldn't because of "funding partners outside of the Union pulled payments" was also fantastic.
Here's to the fam coming back in 2020! Way too long!
And am I the only one getting a vibe that Yazmin is into The Doctor? Guess that means she's gonna have to die like Clara, Missy, and River.

Sting King Richius Doctor Who released a promo image from this season. JUDOON ARE BACK! I can't wait to laugh at Jodie's interpretation at the language as hard as I did with Tennant.

I am a huge fan of the Peter Capaldi era, like, probably my personal favorite Doctor. But I feel like we never got as big of a talking point with any of his seasons as we did with this last episode! They gave you so much new info! Like, groundbreaking stuff! I love Jodie as the Doctor, but I think her first season overall was pretty bland. She was great in the role, just bad writing. But I have really enjoyed this season so far! The Master reveal! The Timeless Child! Everything from this previous episode! Would love to hear any theories as to how/what people make of the reveal in the last episode!

My sister said there were big spoilers and i had to leave the house when she was watching it lol Oh. Yeah. There. Are. Holy. Crap. I've watched the first 3 episodes so far this season. Really loved the Master's episodes, he went proper full on maniac mode didn't he. The actor did a great job. I haven't seen him in anything before. When I saw Lenny Henry's character I was sitting there saying to myself "that's Lenny Henry" but couldn't believe it because I forgot how much weight he had lost lol He played his character really well too I thought. On to the next couple of episodes tonight. I should be all caught up by the end of this week. I need to get my 3 month old baby hooked on DW while she is young!

I just watched the Judoon episode, really liked it. I'll be fully caught up this week.
One thing I still dont like about this Doctor is that she doesn't seem to give any big speeches. She doesn't seem that furious either. All the others had moments were you could really believe they would unleash hell. Jodie's Doctor doesn't seem that confident or even as sure as herself as the others were.
Ryan and Graham, imo, have had the best dialogue so far. I'm really liking their characters.
Im super excited to watch the next episode tonight after the ending in the Judoon one.

I believed that if anything happened to Rose, the Doctor would be devastated. Same for Clara, same for Amy. I just don't "buy" the closeness of the Doctor and the companions. I don't know if it's because there is too many companions or what. I just don't feel like any of this will hit me emotionally like Capaldi/Tennant could.

I was thinking the Doctor didnt seem that bothered about Yaz staying behind in the factory place for an hour. I dont recall her ever thinking "I better check if she's ok" any time after she left her. The companions definitely seem closer to each other here than with the Doctor. I think they even care more for the Doctor than she does for them.

Another thing I found interesting was that in Orphan 55 The Doctor stated that that was "one possible future for Earth." "one possible timeline". I don't recall timelines ever being talked about in Doctor Who. Always felt like time had a clear path. So in episodes like Pompeii or Water From Mars, fixed points in time, what was stopping The Doctor from saving everyone and just creating a new timeline where everyone lived?

Haha another great observation from that episode. Tennant's Doctor used to like saying fixed point didnt he. Smith's Doctor made a huge point of not altering the past with Amy/Rory. And Capaldi's with Clara/Danny.
