yeah, well I'm outta here til I can watch ep 2 tomorrow morning, US time.
I rewatched Deep Breath again the other night. It works for me. If the rest of the season is around this level of quality (which will be hard) I will be a happy fan.
Just gonna say I like how they've returned to static title cards for the end credits. I thought the crawl looked messy with the vortex backgrounds.
Still hate this version of the theme tune. Delaware MkII.

This episode has benefited from being in colour way more than Deep Breath. Some wonderful lighting in this. It's weird, the leaks are giving me a whole new appreciation on a different level.

I like the dark and serious tone this episode has.

The Daleks were totally incompetent in this episode. Going down the corridor they had everyone in their sights and didn't kill enough, then got done by one dalek.
Ruins the episode for me really.
They also removed a scene. The leak had an ending for Rusty.

Well the difference between this week and last was night and day. Much better episode this week, despite the ridiculous premise. Which really only makes the quality of the last episode all the more confusing.

What was the leaked ending For rusty?

Yeah... It doesn't look like a good episode. I suppose I'm enjoying the darker Doctor so much that a more whimsical episode seems a bit out of place.

Is this mr pink guy going to be a permanent fixture?
He blew up the Dalek ship as well as himself.
Yes. A bit like Rory in series 5.

He ends up on the Dalek ship and is destroyed. Well, he commits suicide actually. Takes the daleks with him. Silly that it destroyed the whole ship though.
I feel like I want to watch the beginnings of Dr Who episodes and the ends, but not so much the middle bits.
I think I would have loved this episode if I just read a summary of it. There were lots of things that happened in it that were good, exciting things, but I honestly lost interest in the episode halfway through. The key plot points were good - but everything around them was just a bit meh, lots of running through tubes or slow motion low budget shoot-bang sections.
This sounds much more negative than I mean it to be as there were bits that I thought were great. The only thing I didn't really like was what felt like slightly hamfisted THIS IS IMPORTANT writing with the whole thing about soldiers.

Reminded me a lot of "Dalek". I pretty much guessed what rusty would take from the doctor's mind, but that didn't make it any less sweet.

Fucking hell.
Give Ben Wheatley the job of blowing up Daleks on a permanent basis.

Hmm maybe thats why they changed it
Or a setup for another story

Strange they cut Rusty's end from the broadcast version. In the leak he actually uses
the same self destruct mechanism the Dalek in 'Dalek' does, where the balls fly off him, encircle him and then explode.

Maybe they'll do another "Good Man" episide where the Doctor recruits a bunch of allies, Rustie included

Rusty for companion in Season 9!
You thankfully can't compare Capaldi to any previous Doctors; he's fresh
Can't wait for this to release on iTunes!

The miniaturised-inside-a-machine-with-robot-antibodies thing was a bit of a rehash of the Teselecta though.
Intrigued where the whole 'afterlife' thing is going.

It did seem like one of the reasons they changed the ending (other than budget) was to leave the door open for more Rusty.

Interesting episode. The question of whether this Doctor is good or bad makes the series (so far) feel more cohesive, but maybe we'll get a simpler adventure next week.
Yep, great line.
