The Magician’s Apprentice

My quick thoughts as I was watching, so a quick recap for you ❤

  • What battle is this?
  • C’mon those land mines were creepy, that guy tho. Did you see that?
  • How come there is a random child in a battlefield?
  • DAVROS! Screaming inside.
  • I like how the guy must be on a Segway, the way he moves. 
  • But my fav bit is how on Karn he gets put into place. Nice!
  • Clara, maybe you should find another job. Not exactly going to win any teacher of the year awards.
  • And sure, UNIT just casually calls you and Kate decides to pop in for a cameo. Essentially.
  • I hate Missy but Michelle Gomez just does such a gooooood job with her. For real.
  • The dialogue between Missy and Clara is amazing…“pet dog, make me believe,” Squad goals with these two.
  • Though why is Missy alive?
  • Vortex Manipulator? Cheap prop.
  • Doctor riding in on a tank? Ooooookay.
  • Could have done with out the Dude, dude, Duuuudddeeee scene.
  • But the whouffaldi??? Yesssssss. The hug, the music, “it’s a way to hide your face” and boy is he hiding.
  • Nice recap on Dalek Creationism. That was well done
  • Does anyone care that the fact that Missy seemingly died but survived is addressed and dismissed in the same sentence?
  • The Doctor and Davros, well done.
  • SKARO? But how?
  • Did you see the fear in Missy’s face?
  • Missy, you wouldn’t take the TARDIS, would you? You have to be playing a con?
  • Wow, did she really?
  • Clara is scared and Jenna did such an amazing job with this scene.
  • OMG, she’s going to run.
  • And this better not be the way it goes down.
  • NOOOOO, not the TARDIS!!!

Quick notes: There better not be a cheap fix it in the next ep, I need this to play out. But The Doctor better not fuck up this timeline because these all seem to be fixed points to me. And you better bring Clara back!
