I don’t know RG I really enjoyed this series finale.
There was so much good, and sentimentalism in this episode. I was enthralled watching the Doctor, Bill, the Master, and the Mistress.
As for Heather saving Bill, I believe this story line was set up from the beginning. So to me it was a fitting and acceptable closure to Bill. Bill the student now gets to live a life where all those lessons the Doctor has taught her gets to be applied. I don’t think of Bill and Heather’s as true love but it does give that Love is a Promise vibe. Heather made a promise to Bill and she intend to keep it.
Honestly, I did not want Bill to remain a Cyberman. I really wanted more of Bill so I am disappointed to lose her. As well as Missy as well as the Doctor.
BUT OH MY GAWD CAPALDI THAT MAN IS AMAZING. That man can recite Hickory Dickory Dock and make me feel something deep and profound.
I love him as the DOCTOR absolutely love him.
I am basically Bill in this.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how you see things, we don’t all have to love the same companions.
Yeah true, I am not a major Fan of Rose. 😀
Bill insisting she knew more about the 9th with the Doctor. I thought that was more as playful banter. But I do recall shaking my head and laughing like Bill you read about them but the Doctor more than likely actually with them. hahahahhaha

@shaunak I love Clara, I adore Clara, I cried buckets of tears when she died. I also felt the same way when they brought her back.
However, I adore Bill very much so, and honestly don’t want her to remain a Cyberman. Her being a Cyberman or remaining a Cyberman doesn’t saddens me it simply pisses me off. All I want the doctor to do is FIX THIS!
There is only one ending I would accept for Bill, well two, she live her life with this new knowledge like Martha or she rejoins/bonds with Heather.
Bill admitted she was to scared to join Heather, however perhaps she will be able to brave that path after all she learned with the Doctor.
But seriously maybe its just me but I think its FAR TOO SOON to lose Bill I mean honestly we barely got to scratch the surface with her and she is what gone just like that. Not to mention Bill seems to be doing quite well with the Whovians, I mean there are some who are not big fan of Bill. Overall it seems her reception was well received despite the doubts that most initial had when she was first introduce. I don’t know Bill just seems like a likable person. I want to know Bill. I want to be friends with Bill. Hang out with her, talk about the lastest sci-fi action fantasy movies over some chips.

I can’t I can’t I can’t I can’t I can’t I just can’t Nope, nope, nope, nope, a whole lot of big NOPE…

I find Missy hard to trust but man she is fun to watch. Part me is like yay she is out of the vault and Oh no she is out of the vault. LOL
Bill and the Doctor relationship are my favorite thing. I love the Doctor showing a bit of his paternal side to him. I do wonder what is it about Bill that brings that out of him? I do wonder if Bill view’s him as sort of a surrogate father figure. I mean Bill idolize the memory of her mother but she has little to say about a father.
Another thing I liked about this episode was when the doctor was going to play sacrificial messianic hero, he was told, it was not up to him to do the protecting it was up to the humans to do the protecting.
I agree the conservation with Bill explaining her orientation was humorous.
Overall I liked this episode a lot. And the next one looks to be exciting.
Either way I am going to probably be an emotional for these last few ……

This episode left me longing. Honestly, I prefer this to be the trilogy vs. the Monks. Overall, I enjoyed the concept of the episode but I wanted more. I think RG hinted on what I was lacking the political commentary. Bill being trapped with the Queen would be amazing pop quiz for her to show what all her tutelage with the doctor has brought forth. Sort of a coming of age with Bill especially what happen regarding the monks.
Nordole going to Missy, I had a pit in my stomach yet at the same time there was excitement. Because I been waiting to see Missy out of the vault however I worry that Missy may be up to something.
I also wonder if the oath impacts the doctor physical, like the Raven did to Clara, that Missy being outside of the vault before time hurts him or kills him. I could be wrong. And its just notion.
I am excited to see Missy outside of the vault. I feel like Missy, the Doctor, Bill, and Nordole finally makes a dynamic that gels for me. We have Missy and the Doctors’ opposing views, Bill’s enthusiastic sweet innocence, Nordole’s quirkiness that works for me in ways I simply can’t explain.
Bill and the Doctors’ relationship is just so sweet. I love their interaction."I will be kind but I will speak my mind."
Hilarious
However I am shock and excited to see all the awesome con pics with the two thieves and the two stiltskins. Paris is Lucky because things like this is so rare!
"I will be kind but I will speak my mind."
So the third part of the trilogy actually had me bit unnerved and emotional. Maybe because I know we are losing Capaldi and there is no certainty of Bill making it past this season. However when Bill was willing to sacrifice herself I was teary not to mention it brought some strong river song feelings.
@RumplesGirl I literally watch the mom memory savior with two sides. On one side I felt like you did yet on the other side there was something so emotional sweet about her memory to her mom, her talking to her mom. I mean the emotional impact of that hit even if it was somewhat fragmented.But can I saw how much I LOVE absolutely love the relationship between the doctor and Bill. Like there is such a sentimental sweetness about them. The beauty of platonic/familial love is truly something special in its own right. In a social-media-interactive world where shipping makes it seems like romanticism is the sole significant highlight of almost any narrative or character interaction there is something refreshing about watching platonic and familial relationships develop and blossom into love and connection that is just valued and worthwhile as the romantic one. (Holy Heck Run on sentence.)
I guess what I am saying is I enjoyed the 3rd part of the Trilogy even with its faults. It really struck my heart touch me pang me. I literally cried. For that hour I was both emotional enthralled and invested.
Bill, Doctor, and Missy scenes and interactions just sort of hit home.
Beautiful acting by all three.
Nordole I am sorry buddy I want to love you , however you are just not fitting into the mix like I want you to. You are not harmonizing the trio for me. I found the Doctor, Missy, and Bill to make a far better peanut butter and banana sandwich of a team. But that just me and dorkiness.
I really really wanted River and Missy to meet. Alex and Michelle, Those acting beauties would have been fun together!
"I will be kind but I will speak my mind."
To be honest it had good solid points but it was slow moving as well. I think I went expecting oh missy is back we got the pope oh this is going to Be AMAZING and it wasn’t that amazing.
Now while I do love the idea of there is a mysterious letter that all who read it commits suicide. However, I am not sold on its execution ( like I said my brain can find a pun without out me knowing it). The going back and forth to the past and back to the library. And then into the projection room. It just well its was just muddle and way to much stuff happening. And I was like is this what they are saying about Moffat. I get it now. I rather the Missy execution be her own episode and that Veritas be its own episode as well. Missy and Veritas just did not blend well for me.
I love all your points @RumplesGirl so I no need to repeat those but one I loved was when the doctor told Bill that the girl was not out of her league.
Also its high time the Doctor tell Bill about his eyesight. Because its going to cause more trouble then ever
I am also curious how Missy will react to the new girl and how Bill will react to her.
And such a shame Missy and River never cross paths. At least what we know of.
Another note I was wrong it wasn’t who I thought it was and yet it was who I thought it was? TimeLords heh?

OMG thank you RG. I am hoping for a strong diverse cast. I believe there is going to be LGBTQ rep. Perhaps the Captain is bisexual or lesbian.
However what is irking me is the past. Move Forward Gene vision was about equality, diversity, and representation, and moving FORWARD. why are they doing prequels. I don’t care about the past I want to know life past Picard, Janeway, and Sisko. What happen after. Romulans and Federation were finally trying to work together against a common threat are they still enemies. Or did the events of the movie going to show us a different AU future. Heck I would even accepted a sort of Flashpoint Universe where we see the effects of the movies impacting the future in notable ways. ARRRGGGG come trek.
But as RG said yes I am going to still watch it. LOL
