With the emergency protocols now in place, will this be how we see Courtney as President, then?
I loved clever Clara - the Dalek Oswin and the one who startled the Doctor by saying that the TARDIS was "smaller on the outside" - and have been really disappointed with her this season (have seen only glimpses of it such as in the Flatlines one). I have also struggled with the grumpier Doctor (though I love Capaldi). The scene at the end though, with the two of them lying to each other fit both of how these characters have been this season, so I must accept that the characterisation has been deliberate. I just don't understand why lying has been a theme this season.
This Doctor saying "Shut up" a lot (and I'm sure there was a bit in the episode where the cut off Capaldi about to swear), I take as a nod to that show Capaldi's on where he swears a lot!
Missy turned out much better than I was fearing! She was entertaining. But why oh why oh why did they not strip her naked and imprison her in a cell on the plane? Idiots!
