I have to say, the Cybermen in this episode looked fantastic.

Casual gaming, mostly solo-coop these days.

Yes.

Yes they did. Fantastic hybrids of what came before.

Et In Arcadia Ego





Canterbury

yeah.. that was alright.

Don't mind the reveal , very https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartmel_Masterplan

and sorts out the regeneration issue, which is handy.

Enjoyed the Master's performance -- hope we we see this version again .

Couple of things :

Spoiler:


Not quite sure how.. or why .. the Master connected Gailifrey to the Boundary .... it presumably wasn't always connected.

And whilst the new Cybertimelords looked quite cool... I wasn't quite sure why they were regenerating... wouldn't the dead timelords have regenerated first and then been.. well... not dead ?

Felt the companions were a bit wasted too. It was better that the story arc was more about the Dr. than.. family issues.. but they've always felt like something of an afterthought at times this season.

We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Seriously, wat

I did like the Inclusion of the Morbius Doctors though, that was nice.

See that stuff above? Completely true. All of it, every single word. Stands to reason.

well that was terrible, although out Moffing the Moff is a sort of a thing I guess

I've seen theories that the current regeneration of the Master is between the last two regenerations. I'm dubious, but now wonder if the current situation explains how missy was able to use the cybermen in Darkwater and Death in Heaven.

Possible. And it's always fun to speculate but I think it's safe to stick to the default that, multi-incarnation meet-ups aside, we see the Doctor and the Master in chronological order.

Were there be dragons....

Spoiler:
Well now that we know the Time Lords are effectively bio-reverse-engineered and with the final demise (hopefully) of the Galifraian Time Lords; how long before we have a plot line of another race trying to splice the genes and set themselves up as the second race to call themselves Time Lords? The genes are out there in the Dr and their semi clone from the Doctor's Daughter...

They'll be back. If the Doctor doesn't save Gallifrey in the Christmas/New Year Special I suspect it's the sort of plotline that will be resolved at the end of Jodie's run - next year if she does the usual 3 years.

Rassilon and the High Council were exiled from Galifrey in the Capaldi episode "Hell Bent". As far as I know there was no mention of their return, so I assume they are still out there.
