I wonder if it's going to have anything to do with the Day of the Doctor events.
I still think that's gonna be a big fat loose end that Moffat won't help himself from tending to. Plus its status as a free retcon for anyone involved is helpful.

Missy is actually who Capaldi regenerates into.
And Missy will regenerate into the new doctor!
As his last fuck you, Moffat gets to be the person who wrote the first female doctor.
Simms never turns into Missy.

That's what the Christmas Special with the First Doctor is meant to revolve around

Simm Master meets Missy who is posing as the Doctor. Missy leaves Simm Master for dead causing him to regenerate into S8 Missy believing the Doctor screwed her over. S8 Missy goes off in search of the Doctor with Cybermen on her brain.
A future incarnation killing a previous incarnation and thus 'making themself' is such a Moffat-ass twist. but one he could never do really do with the Doctor, I just don't see him missing this chance with the Master.

There's no way Missy is not The Master. I'm not sure how Simm will regenerate into her and what will happen to Missy after the finale, but Missy is definitely The Master after Simm.
Newspaper reports that Bradley will play First Doctor in the Christmas Special. Possibly confirmed by Bradley in an interview where he was asked; said "you didn't hear it from me".

I remember reading those rumors (I think I'm commenting on em in this thread somewhere) I just didn't know anything had been more or less confirmed.
If it is happening, cool. I was hoping that'd be addressed.

So the finale has a DotD like poster but with the Master. DotD had all of the Doctors... SO the finale has all of the
Masters?
Masters?

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Probably be better than last season. I'd watch it.
Note sure about the producers of who, but his character in TMNT is a robot that helps the turtle travels trough time and in the new ducktales well...
Stranger things have happened! We never saw a regeneration, so anything's possible.

Moffat is closing the loop here. These are his last stories.
He won't introduce new wrinkles.

We never saw the regeneration into Jacobi either. 🤔

John Simm regenrates into William Hartnell, Missy regenerates into Christopher Eccleston, BOOM!

The implication of the Big Finish 'War Master' stuff is Jacobi was the form he took when he was resurrected by the Time Lords. The interesting gap in the Master's history is what came before Roger Delgado.
Michelle Gomez is definitely getting her name in the credits, and I'll be surprised if they don't give her an eye close-up either this week or next for that very reason.
Clara is like my least favorite companion, but that trolling was SO GOOD

You can safely assume that there were more Masters pre-Jacobi that we won't see - I believe after the Master was resurrected he (at the time) went through a few regenerations.
I would literally scream. This needs to happen.
God I'm going to miss Michelle Gomez so much she's absolutely brilliant in the role and I doubt any other master is going to compare to me
If he really wants to close the loop, we need to see Capaldi regenerate into the Curator. Tom Baker to star in the Christmas special before regnerating into Kris Marshall.

I haven't watched or read anything about the new series, is it any good? I've grown increasingly tired with Moffat's high adventure & convoluted nonsense formula, and have only half enjoyed about three episodes from then last couple of series. Is this just of the same?
It has been fantastic. It's very back to basics compared to Moffat's previous series. Pearl and Capaldi have amazing chemistry.
Pretty much the same Moffat feel without the convoluted nonsense.

I really liked that episode, and how tired 12 is with the bickering and the pointless fighting in the face of certain doom. The Romans were well-portrayed too, reasonable yet their imperious nature isn't ignored and in fact is basically why there's any threat to begin with. Yet the Doctor doesn't exactly lord it over them - or rather, they don't let him, which is a nice touch.
So excited for next week.

Cheers guys, I'll give it a go. Have there been any self-contained stinkers that would be worth skipping?
What the heck is the significance of that thing just behind the title? It looks like one of their occasional holiday planning pullouts, but there's no captions attached to it.
Edit: Actually, a lot of things missing from the cover, guess it's just a WIP thing.

It's been a very not-great-yet-not-terrible season. No stinkers. No classics. Very 7/10.
I disagree, Thin Ice and Eaters of Light can stand against the best episodes of the show.

Eaters of Light was terrible
acheron_xl

Yeah, I think Thin Ice has some of the best moments of the series for sure. A good 8/10. But it's not groundbreaking the way some of the best Who can be. It's maybe a tiny notch below something like Turn Left.
And Eaters of Light is pretty much a perfect Cliff's Notes modern-Who take on a classic-Who story. Perfectly fine. Didn't really wow me.

Just got done with Season 7 part 2.
So my feelings about Season 7 as a whole now: it sucks. Its a waste of good talent. Matt Smith finally looks comfortable as his form of the doctor (which still sucks, I do not like this doctor #notmydoctor). Anyway, the good feelings I was getting from the very first very good "Asylum of the Daleks" to the great Snowman episode, its been a complete waste after words. So much promise, such bad writing. I really dislike Moffat, he's basically ruined Doctor Who. If it wasnt for my friends telling me the 50th is a great episode, I'm not even sure I'd want to finish this off (except for the guilty pleasure of killing off the 11th doctor, which I look forward to).
*sigh* I feel like a show that I grew to love from seasons 1 - 4 basically got axe murdered in front of my eyes with Season 5 - 7.

Yeah I thought it was a so-so ep myself.
Oxygen > The Pilot > Thin Ice > Monks 3-parter > the rest
I thought it was fantastic.

Clara killed her seasons for me.
I couldn't stand her.
Bill, I like. Not as much as Amy, which I adore. But I would have liked another season of Capaldi and Bill.
I utterly zoned out. One of the worst of the Capaldi era. Hell, one of the worst of nuWho.
The "he's better at tig" kid was full on channeling Wallace from Wallace and Grommit.
