TY for the preview. I refuse to watch that god awful Class just so I can see next week's Who preview.

I was never a fan of that ending. Not to fond of this one either (and for pretty much the same reason).
Good build-up though.

I cant help but feel the ending was a set-up for something. The master changing? I can believe in a lot of things, but that one is a bit too much of a stretch.

Still, I've been wrong so many times before...

Makes sense. Missy changes her ways and then the Sims Master shows up and turns her evil again.

Or we finally find out that she's been the Rani this whole time and Simms Master survived The End of Time Part 2.

I wouldn't know. I'm always right all the time. Pay no attention to any wrong answers because clearly my account must have been hacked.

That's not likely.

Boris & Natasha must think you have contact with Moose and Squirrel. So, they hack your account. They find porn, they get turned on and forget all about Moose and Squirrel. Next thing you know, the world is saved and all because of you and your perverted viewing habits. The UN will give you a medel. World peace will break out. Mankind will enter a new golden era of peace and prosperty. Of joy and harmony. And all because you got hacked. Heck, they'll probably rename the Nobel peace prize after you.

Missy change her ways ? Not likely.
She has everything planned. She knew she'd be imprisoned for a 1000 year period. The vault seems to be similiar to the TARDIS in that it's bigger on the inside. Maybe she doesn't age within. Maybe she is planning to run into her previous incarnation. Maybe even have it set so he frees her from the vault. Missy is a cunning, highly intelligent and quite ruthless individual. She'd think of something. I'm sure of it.

Has anyone noticed a religious bent to this season? I mean, so far this season, mention has been made of Jesus & God and Missy being imprisoned for one thousand years before being released sounds a lot like something out of the text of Revelation (The Devil will be bound for one thousand years and then must be released for a short time to make war with God, etc. etc etc.). Then of course there are the obvious religious references, like the pope and of course, the bad guys being called "The Monks".

I am surprised that you didn't pick up on the reference to their being only 12 monks and the relationship between Jesus and his Disciples. Doctor Who has always touched upon religious and moral issues. The BBC were worried that the Daleks might be interpreted as NAZI's. Tom Baker as The Doctor had a moral dilemma in the episode Genesis of The Daleks when he could have destroyed them for ever. I fear that too many people are trying to read too much into these story lines instead of just sitting back and enjoying some classic Doctor Who.

Certainly in "Genesis of the Daleks", the Kaled military resembled Nazis, the very young General's attitude about "total extermination of the Thals", the uniforms, Nyder and his black-shirted security troops....
