The Official MZ Doctor Who Thread!

Wow! Have we really gone so long without a comment? I feel I've been gushing on this series all over the internet.

Capaldi and Coleman are crushing it. I know some fans have complained (very passionately) about the completely daff non-science of the giant egg and magic trees episodes, but I was so invested in the characters that it was easy to overlook. I think Listen, Mummy on the Orient Express, and Flatline are all top-tier Doctor Who episodes. It doesn't get much better than those, and Into the Dalek and Time Heist are just below 'em.

This season has been absolutely stellar. Clara has quickly become my favorite companion of the revived series and Peter Capaldi's Doctor is just terrific. I love the really out-there sci-fi concepts like the premise of 'Kill the Moon,' the two-dimensional beings, and the Fantastic Voyage-esque glimpse inside a Dalek. The whole Heaven/Nethersphere/Promised Land story arc is really intriguing and I can't wait to see what it's building to in the finale.

I didn't care too much for the tree episode but all the other episodes have been fantastic.

I thought the Forest episode was well made, even if it wasn't super appealing to me.

Missy is the Master...yeah. Theres that.

[lhb412]

I am freaking out! It was Doctor Who at its best, and I think Michelle Gomez has the makings of the best Master since Delgado.

[MekaGojira3k]

Missy as Master...laaaaaaaaaameeee
This is the first time this season I've been this disappointed.
I was enjoying the episode up to that point.

Wait, is the season done already? What about the 13th episode?

If so, it was an awesome finale for what turned out to be an incredible season. I already like Capaldi better than Smith and they did an incredible job with Clara. Glad Danny is gone though as he was doing nothing but hindering the show. My favorite episode of the season is Listen, by my god these last two episodes have been the best they have done with the Cybermen since Season 2's finale. This season went by too fast but it sure as hell more than made up for the garbage seventh season. I can not wait for the Xmas special, especially with Nick Frost as Santa. That was unexpected at the end and awesome.

[MekaGojira3k]

Okay finale, I guess.
looking forward to Santa Claus and the Doctor, though.

Just finished watching "Mummy on the Orient Express" -- at the end the discussion between the Doctor and Perkins had me wondering if Perkins may be a Time Lord (or just a Gallifreyan, as the case may be). That last conversation seems primed for viewers to see more than just what was said on the surface.

As far as returning characters go, Drax (seen in "The Armageddon Factor" the final serial in the Key To Time) comes to mind as a possibility.

[The Shadow]

An Adventure is Space and Time is an historical drama that covers the creation of Doctor Who and more specifically William Hartnell; it ran on television in November 2013.

I liked AAiSaT, I was impressed with David Bradley playing William Hartnell (and by extension, the First Doctor). No one could ever truly replicate Hartnell's performance as the First Doctor, but I think Bradley did a great job in his dual role and if they ever wanted to bring the First Doctor fully into a new series story it would be great if Bradley could take on the role (again technically).

Kain I'm surprised you never picked this set up

That complete collection set is nice though the PQ on Series 1 isn't the greatest barely above DVD most of the time. Series 2 is a step up but no where near other BD stuff I've seen. Series 3 is the best looking of the classic and I really haven't dug into Series 4 yet.

Another awesome Xmas special.
