Lovely. Not only are Chibnall and Whittaker continuing their insult by not quitting, they're delaying production for no clear reason.

Superman07

An to top it off, a completely lackluster finale to a big disappointment of a series.

The only intriquing part of the finale for me were the two Ux. Based on their capabilities and their glowy eyes, I thought they may be ancient founders of Gallifrey.

Speaking of, where is Gallifrey these days?

The end of the series headed in a good direction, but unfortunately for me the finale didn’t continue the trend. Aside from a theme of family, I don’t feel like this series was about much. The only episode that might have me wanting to have a rewatch was the previous one, but the troll guy with the balloon and frog were low points.

I really hope they can turn things around for the next series. Especially since it appears they have ample time to pull together...10 episodes?

I have no fucking clue.

I think that Moff might have brought it back at the end of series nine, but I’m not sure what the exact status is. That episode was complete ass following up the excellent “Heaven Sent.”

That didn't do much for me at all. Mark Addy was completely wasted here.

This show is killing me. Just not getting into it. Other than Rosa and Ker-Blam, I just have not been entertained or informed like previous seasons.

UPDATE: Graham shooting Toothy in the foot “Just to shut him up. Don’t tell the Doctor” was pretty funny.

Maybe I'm just more easily entertained than some here, but I thought the finale was good. It wasn't the best finale ever, but it did good to bring about a loose "arc" for this series.

It was last seen existing at the end of the universe (time-wise) to hide from its enemies (i.e. nearly everyone). It's technically still there, but I don't think The Doctor is in any hurry to return to it.

I feel this was fairly terrible season. The writing and music were the biggest issues for me.

New Year's big bad pretty much confirmed....

Nice scarf.

I enjoyed the episode. Best use of a Dalek in a while.

Nothing until 2020. RTD spoiled us with a yearly series (for 4 years) and two spin-off series.

With all the promotion of it being a special New Year’s episode, I wish that aspect had more importance to the actual story rather than fill dialogue and final narration.

The Infidel

I thought all the stuff with Ryan's dad dragged it down.

Superman07

Odd - I enjoyed that a lot more than the Dalek plot!

I think it was inferred (too much since I had to assume) that those boxes had Dalek parts in them. Otherwise, apparently you can create a Daley exoskeleton in a barn with some spare tractor parts and without the help of The A-Team or Top Gear.

I did like the lone Dalek aspect, but Jodie only had a good 5-10 seconds of true horror and rage for the Dalek, but there was some promise. Their mutual disgust of each other didn’t really come through.

I didn’t like how she paused late to have a quick meeting to check how much warning she had provided before taking action.

I was thinking Ryan’s dad would be sucked out, and Ryan, Graham and Yaz would therefore all decide to leave. Good opportunity to clean house!

Here's a better question. What happens if a
​​​​female timelord is pregnant and has to regenerate? 8 months pregnant (assuming similar gestation periods) and is severely injured.

What happens in that scenario?

Jay G.

This is getting into the "what if you have a mogwai on a plane and are feeding it, and the plane changes time zones?" type quibbling.

However, in your example, why wouldn't a pregnant female Time Lord stay female when regenerating? It's been shown that the process is controlled somewhat, at least unconsciously, and isn't totally random, so it seems most likely the regenerated form would be female as well because of a need to preserve the infant.
