Doctor Who  -- "Into the Dalek"

 

This is another Dalek morality episode and centers around the Doctor trying to prove that there's no such thing as a good Dalek by shrinking down and entering it's body to try and help diagnose the problem. It's done much better in the "Dalek" episode during 9's run. Much better. Especially the issue of the Doctor's hate and how he is similar to a Dalek in some ways.

 

Danny Pink is introduced in this. He's a soldier with PTSS and ... le sigh... a romantic interest for Clara. Honestly I was hoping they would move away from any romantic plot for anyone. Men and women can function without a need to hook up with someone... guh. And if he joins the TARDIS crew that's gonna suck.

 

Also, the Doctor doesn't like soldiers so that'll be interesting.  

 

Missy continues to be interesting. She exists in a place she calls "heaven" and "promise land" and the Doctor is an atheist. It'll be an interesting juxtaposition when they finally meet (meet again?).

 

I'd give this episode a 2.5 out of 5. 

 

Anyone else catch it?

 

Also, from just the titles of the episode does anyone have one that they're looking forward to the most? For me it might be Mummy on the Orient Express. It just sounds fun and is clearly a spoof on 'Murder on the Orient Express'.

Anyone else been following along the series? Thoughts on 12? I like him and his dynamic with Clara. He is kind of a high-functioning sociopath though... kind of like someone else Moffat is related with. At first it really seemed like this Doctor was just different for the sake of being different but he's coming into his own and I can kind of understand him a bit now.

OMG! So the current episode was a nice save the trees episode. But what has me super psyched is the trailer for the two-part finale. 

 

 

Clara! Are we finally going to get to see what the repercussions of Clara and the Doctor entering her own timeline is? Or will we get trolled with Clara always having been a planted spy with the Doctor? NO TROLL PLEASE! She has to be a real person! God, I hope she isn't retconned into a soulless tool.

I am really worried about the finale. Maybe the Evil-esque Clara is another echo. God I hope they arent pulling an Austin Powers 2 with the whole wife is fem-bot thing.

This show is the bomb.

Why do people NOT ship these two? I just don't get it.

Probably cause they hate Sakura. When she's probably the most developed female character in the whole show.

I respect Hinata, but Sakura deserves some too.

Yeah, it would be a lame and frustrating twist. Maybe she's possessed?

Thats a good one. Or maybe the whole scenes were out of context and she was just pissed at him.

Wow... What an episode! "Do you think I care about you so little..." <-- friendship! And there are those who called it about Missy.  

 

Also: Damn misleading episode trailer!

Thoughts

 

I had completely forgotten about how long of a time span Missy covers with the Nethersphere. That is kind of puzzling. 

 

I do think the Timelords take on the traits of whatever body they inhabit, and are attracted to whomever they're wired to be attracted too, and because they're almost friends at the end of End of Time maybe that's why he's so attracted to the Doctor. Plus we don't know what happened to him on Gallifrey post End of Time. 

 

What makes you think Capaldi will regenerate? I hope not because I have grown to like this Doctor. If anything I do hope Clara moves on. This whole season kind of has felt like the Doctor trying to please Clara, even if he's still ornery about it. I too was thinking the Cyberman behind Clara was Danny --from the moment they entered the room and it was featured so prominently.

Well its because Capaldi like Eccelstone only has a 1 year contract.

 

And I find it amaizing how any arc featuring Cybermen has this potential to disturb be. The whole premise about their existence kinda freaks me out. Now the whole "how death works" thing. When he started saying don`t cremate me I was seriously freaked out.

Yes, he only has a contract for one year, but unlike Eccleston, Capaldi was/is a Who fan. And I haven't seen any rumblings that Capaldi has been unhappy with production so I doubt he'd leave something he's always wanted to be on after just a year. While signing multi-year deals is the norm it's not unusual for some actors to sign year to year.

While I do agree. Theres also the little issue of this season being advertised as particularly dark. Which it was visualy and story-wise. So somebody is going to die. I just hope its not Clara cuz she is probably the most character-wise developed companion in the new series. I do agree that id be stupid for him to regenerate now since so much of the season has been about him comming to terms with himself. Also if we keep switching doctors every season we are gonna need another deus-ex-machima and soon.

 

EDIT: Just did some checking. Apparently. Capaldi signed on for season 9. Which can not be said for Jenna who is said to be leaving during the christmas special. So Spoiler alert... they probably both make it out ok.

 

DOUBLE EDIT: Didnt we meet Clara`s and Dany`s future offspring of an offspring. So unless Clara is pregnant Dany will need to get back for that guy to be born or were in for a rather large paradox.

I have made a decision.

 

Dany Pink is without a doubt the most likeable character in dr. who. My god am I sad hes dead. Why you no come back? You had the chance.

To me, Danny was just a more physical Rory. Moffat repeating himself. This is definitely the worse series finale of new Who. Awful. The Doctor is a completely pointless in this episode. COMPLETELY! Honestly, looking back at it, this season has been about appeasing Clara. The last few episodes has made the Doctor a useless, walking talking expository figure, a panicking observer.

I kinda liked it. 12 has finaly found the answer to his question... the quest for gallifrey continues. The master dead (?) again.

 

I will point out this. Dany kittened up. He gave his life to save the kid. Not only has he now made 2 people unhappy (Clara and himself), but he also left Clara with the prospect of explaining to 2 third world parents why their kid is suddenly alive and well. Worse case scenario the kid gets stoned for being a demon. How is that better. Should have jutst forgiven himself and stepped forward.

 

On the other hand. We now know there is indeed an aftherlife, which apparently exists in another dimension. So theoretically Dany could still be revived. Maybe Santa can fix it.

I think it was a relatively weak discovery, and one that honestly didn't need an entire season to solve. While I like how he thinks fast on the go, he has been seemingly useless until luck puts him in the right situation. The two-episode finale had him play a plot oriented role, mostly to keep things moving from place to place, but he didn't seem to do much. And the ending, to save Clara's soul or thirst for revenge he was willing to kill the master. It felt sudden, and almost like the Missy's description of him was very apt: Clara beckons and he bows. 

 

I didn't even think about how Danny messed up the kid's life. Wow... yeah, so much for happy endings for him. 

 

Don't really mind Danny being dead. It does seem like Santa is going to be there for some closure in the Doctor/ Clara stuff. Those creatures in the trailer for the Christmas special do make me excited to see it. Santa is an alien? Makes sense I guess.
