Doctor Who - Series 10 (Spoilers)

[Link Prime]

There've a lot of Grandfather references though

And to Bill's deceased mother.

I wonder...

Space Zombies was another good one I thought.  Simple set up, nice performances, targets were a bit obvious but it hit them well.  Not sure about the "reveal" at the end though

[Jimmy Baker's Assistant]

Space zombies was indeed okay. Strong concept, pretty well executed. I think the political subtext was a bit too subtle for me though!

Did pay mills script that episode

[Dandontdare]

I sometimes wonder if an entire story is constructed around a single pun (e.g. Mike Carroll's recent " you shot my paw") and if it's a good 'un I don't care. The line [spoiler]like all workers everywhere, we're fighting the suits" [/spoiler] was brilliant. A good episode of a good series, the only bit that didn't really work was [spoiler]"I knew the suit was low on power and would only half-kill you"[/spoiler] ... huh?

It did occur to me while I was watching, as well...

[ABCwarBOT]

I usually watch Nu Who though I'm not a big fan of it.   Especially when they shove characters like Missy in it and all this Timelords can now change gender bollocks.    It's a bit like an advert for the LGBT movement.

Enjoying the hell out of this series so far.  Pretty much what I wanted from Capaldi's Doctor from the start -- I'll be very sorry to see him go. More like 'proper' Who than anything we've had for years.

Possibly.   I much prefer Capaldi to the annoying Tennant and Smith for sure and the stories are more like something from the Tom Baker era (to a point anyway).   Just can't stand that Missy who looks like is darkening the shows door next week.

I don't think an unhinged alien psychopath who wants to destroy all human life is a particularly good advert for the LGBT movement...

Dale, is that you?

[Tiplodocus]

Gender changing bollocks?

I thought that was a pretty good place to take the regeneration thing.

Was there anything said on screen that prohibited it in the completely made up life-cycle of Timelords and regeneration? Possibly - but things established in previous episodes can be changed if it makes for a good story.

It's just a pity the story and what they did with Missy wasn't that great or memorable (for me). But that's not the fault of the gender of the character.

[Hawkmumbler]

Time Lords have been changing genders (and races) in AU material since the 80's. Rassilon, Iris, and Romana are the three big examples.

[Andy Lambert]

You won't have to suffer Missy much longer - this series is her last. I'll miss Michelle Gomez's performance - I think she's been brilliant.

Complaints like the one in this thread feel like people raging against Thor being female, ignoring that he was once a frog, which is apparently somehow OK. Also, quite how a gender switch is like an advert for LGBT+, I have no idea. (Personally, I'd be quite happy if the next Doctor was something other than a white bloke as long as the portrayal was good.)
