    I liked it a lot. My only gripe is the whole The Doctor is going to die again angle. I feel this been over done and brought down Matt Smith run for me. It the first one in a new run and we know Peter not leaving the show any-time soon, so piss off with this his going to die stuff and Let him live!

    I liked it, although I felt the ending was rushed.


    Maybe the days of the Valeyard are getting closer....

    If The Doctor actually kills young Davros I'm guessing Peter Capaldi is out of a job... Which former version of himself would he de-generate to if he had never encountered the Daleks?
    The only regeneration that any Dalek triggered was the change from 10 to 10.1 in Journey's end.

    Based on Tennants experience on Mars though, time is quite robust. If he saved Davros, someone else would have created the daleks, leaving him to die but he survives anyway, Davros creates them.

    Happens one way or another.

    When the kid said his name was Davros I made some sort of exclamation. My wife and kids asked "who's Davros again?" When I said he created the Daleks my 12 year old daughter said "then he has to save him or he'll create a paradox"! I was so proud :D

    Great opening episode.

    Or does he! :D It is Doctor Who, so anything's possible: the concept of the Fixed Moment has been established already (and I think has remained fairly inflexible compared with other, more fluid parts of Who mythology).

    Even if Davros was prevented from ever inventing the Daleks, perhaps they still come to be by some other fashion ... maybe by cribbing The Terminator and having a dead Dalek travel back in time to the Kaled / Thal War & be discovered by an enterprising scientist called... I dunno, Favros or something :D

    Overall, some interesting moments but the whole "party" scene just dragged for me.

    Missy got the best lines and Gomez knocked them out of the park. The "How's your boyfriend? Still tremendously dead, I expect" is one of my new favourite TV moments.
