It was rumoured when the set photos were released, she had the same ring!

Jonathan Pryce played one of the best Masters.

Not sure who cast John Simm as the Master, he was just not suited for the role.  If the actror doesn't look or behave like Roger Delgado, they have no business being The Master

Dunno how I feel about this episode.  After today though I will be GLAD to see Clara gone as the Doctor's companion.  Doctor should have introduced her to the back of his hand.

 

 

who siad she is leaving besides rumors from awhile currently i dont  think it is confirmed she is leaving

Hmm

 

I'm hoping there is a good reason for what she is doing - maybe she needed this in order to support the energy required for her regeneration or something and has got carried away as usual.

 

She is quite aware of who are actual enemies are after her last appearance so hopefully there will be a want to bond with "her boyfriend" / the Doctor.

I am totally ok with what happened in the opening and my one regret is that they'll probably do some timey wimey crap and reverse it.

 

How is he a she, I thought that didn't happen.

...

Nah, it's been established that Time Lords can change gender when regenerating. Lets them mix up the character a bit and opens up the hiring pool too.

How did he (She) escape from Gallifrey though :o (End of Time) and why is she working with Cybermen ._.

That's what I asked back a page. Did End of Time still happen even after the events of Day of the Doctor (50th anniversary special)?

I took it as a "reboot" of that storyline. But the writers can't expect young kids and teens to get that (at least not right away) so they'd be stupid to just brush that aside like that. Now if Missy Master explains what happened to her after The End of Time, that's all good.

 

Still, Moffat seems quite happy to just abandon or at least put aside stories that RTD did during his tenure. The time locked time war etc for example :)

I was pretty unimpressed by that finale and really hope next season gets back to the classic formula. 

 

Given the nature of the show I don't think its the last of the master, could have been a teleport beam, we've seen disguised before or the galifrey data matrix was never shut off/destroyed, missy could have gone in there then and come out in a similar fashion to the kid at some point.  Or just bring her back without explaining anything...seems to work well.

My money is on it having to do with

Clara's new bracelet. Something similar to bringing Master back from the ring.

 

Also, with how the Cybermen came back, that means that

Amy and Rory were Cybermen for a bit.

Disappointing season. I'm loosing faith in this show now. 'Flatline' and 'Mummy On The Orient Express' were the best episodes in my opinion. I feel there isn't any continuity in the show now. They never explained how The Master/Mistress survived 'End of Time', how they came back and how she regenerated. Was there a hint she also has a TARDIS? They also never explained why the Doctor and Clara had to be together.. It was the worst finale to date, all about Clara and Danny yet again. Danny's speech leading the Cybermen to the cloud was cringe and they have all seemed to be upgraded to Iron Men..

 

Based on this seasons 'Listen' episode, I bet Clara is pregnant for the future version of Danny to appear. And that's probably what she wanted to tell him before he died (the first time round). 

 

I don't think Calpadi is a bad doctor, it's the story lines for me that does it. Season 5 was amazing, and season 6 wasn't too bad. From there, episodes have gone worse and worse. 

 

Then, then, that horrible mid credits scene with Santa.. I like Nick Frost but that was just horrific.

    • Windows 11 in 2026: Are you fully on board, or still holding back?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.

Through the MLT framework, Kdenlive integrates many plugin effects for video and sound processing or creation. Furthermore Kdenlive brings a powerful titling tool, a DVD authoring (menus) solution, and can then be used as a complete studio for video creation. Kdenlive supports all of the formats supported by FFmpeg or libav (such as QuickTime, AVI, WMV, MPEG, and Flash Video, among others), and also supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios for both PAL, NTSC and various HD standards, including HDV and AVCHD. Video can also be exported to DV devices, or written to a DVD with chapters and a simple menu.

Visual effects include options for masking, blue-screen, distortions, rotations, colour tools, blurring, obscuring and others. Configurable keyboard shortcuts and interface layouts. Rendering is done using a separate non-blocking process so it can be stopped, paused and restarted. Kdenlive also provides a script called the Kdenlive Builder Wizard (KBW) that compiles the latest developer version of the software and its main dependencies from source, to allow users to try to test new features and report problems on the bug tracker. Project files are stored in XML format. An archiving feature allows exporting a project among all assets into a single folder or compressed archive.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.

      People in the '50s and '60s had the same attitude, and we're still here over a half century later.
