I think mr Pink is creepy lol.
I liked this episode. Capaldi is growing on me. He's still not there YET, but he's looking good. The episode itself was very strong. Very Classic Who in pacing and it worked. I definitely preferred the spaceywacey classic Sci Fi ness of this episode.

I have mixed feelings on this one. The effects were superb. The new Doctor has a nice edge to him. And the inside the Dalek concept was at least an attempt to put a new spin on it. On the other hand, the 'I am a Good man?' stuff was a little on the nose for me. And Clara having to teach the Doctor doesn't seem like a great concept to me.
Tighter and more focused than last week though at least.sigpic

Probably the best Dalek episode for a long time - they actually felt like the creepy, scary, nigh unbeatable menaces they've always been painted as, and the revelation that they consume people for sustenance was suitably evil. Maybe the trick is allowing the Doctor to win battles but never the war, and always at a high cost... little Pyrrhic victories.
Capaldi is growing on me more but I feel his Doctor is still lacking something... I wondered if maybe, because he is not just another regeneration but the first incarnation of a whole new regeneration cycle, maybe it takes longer for his personality to settle and solidify, or maybe introspection and self-doubt are just this incarnation's hallmarks.
Loved the idea of morality as malfunction for the daleks (would a 'good' Dalek therefore be perceived by other Daleks the way we perceive dangerous sociopaths?), and the twist with Rusty's hatred simply being redirected to his own kind... saw it coming though, the moment Rusty kept going on about divine perfection and beauty in an echo of Asylum of the Daleks. I really thought Rusty was going to turn out to be Dalek Caan at a few points, especially the 'I see into your soul, Doctor' line.
Not bad overall, primarily because of some good and much needed development for the Daleks.And now it's time for one last bow, like all your other selves. Eleven's hour is over now... the clock is striking Twelve's.

Also can I point out that the Dalek companion idea from Deep Breath's thread doesn't seem so daft now.Please do me a huge favour and help me be with the love of my life.

So then, Danny Pink.
Ex-military.
Army or Royal Marines?
He doesn't seem to be the RAF or Royal Navy "type" to me for some reason.
Junior officer, NCO, or just plain Private?
Or maybe he's ex-UNIT?sigpic
Long before you and I were born, others beat these benches with their empty cups,
To the night and its stars, to the here and now with who we are.
Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.

I'd love for the Doctor to call him "Pinky" - as in "Pinky and the Brain".sigpic

From personal experience of the guys in question, the likelihood of ex-military being a bit rubbish around girls is laughable...
