Into The Dalek

[poliphilo]

Matt Smith was your fun-loving best (platonic) male friend. Capaldi is almost unforgivably icy. It's quite a shock to the system. But great. And almost certainly what the show needed.

The historic Doctor Capaldi most resembles is Colin Baker. But Baker didn't have the skill or the charisma to pull it off- and came across as boorish. It's one of the strengths of the revived show that they can now afford the best.

God only knows why Clara has to have a boyfriend? Does anyone watch the show for it's romantic sub-plots?

Daleks want to destroy everything. A "good" dalek only wants to destroy other daleks.  Hmmmm.

I like Missy- whoever she is. Clearly the Doctor's dead (whom she is carefully warehousing) are going to come back to haunt him.

Our guess is that Missy ("Mistress") will tiun out to be a reworking of the Master. We think it's be pretty cool if she were :)

Yes. The Master went missing for the whole of the Smith era. It would be good to have him/her back.

Ooo, I like this. It's a deliciously Master-y project, so very intricate, delving deeply into his activities, although to quite what end, we shall have to wait.

Moff did mention the Master wouldn't be coming back - it's not difficult to imagine him noting the careful phrasing. This would be doubly pleasing, both to see another female Time Lord at long last, but also to hear the howls of protest from those who yelped at the vaguest prospect of this incarnation possibly being female. (Ah, if only Judi Dench were more Capaldi's age still..)
