I was disappointed again.
Maybe it's just me.
In previous seasons when someone would die, I would be really shocked, like "they can't do that!"
I mean, it's not Game of Thrones where anyone could die at any moment.
In this episode, when the smart lady with the glasses died, I felt.. nothing.
When Danny died in the previous episode, I felt.. nothing.
Somehow this series has failed to make me part of the experience; I've never felt more detached from Dr. Who. Maybe it's Capaldi, probably it's wise ass Clara and almost certainly it's the flawed story lines.
I suddenly saw the problem clearly during the last episode. The Doctor fails to notice a Gallifreyan hard drive just buzzing around and some other giant details right under his nose. I like when the Doctor has to play the guessing game, because he just doesn't know (Time Heist was pretty good) but in this case, it was just awful.
And the Master was never really scary like in Last of the Time Lords.
So many missed opportunities and so little surprise. I mean, I would have been surprised if Danny had walked through that portal instead of the boy he shot! And if Gallifrey had really been there like the Master said. Oh well..
