We were watching the last two episodes of series 8 last night on Netflix and wife laughed at my best friend and I when we said We didn't give a shite when Danny Pink died. We both hated him.. Maybe because we like Clara and he was getting it...

He certainly wins the award for longest companion. 
I don't consider Captain Jack a companion. He was Doctor esque in his abilities.

I actually didn't care at all either.
It was the only time a "major" character died (or left) and I didn't give a shite. Posted on 9/18/15 at 4:30 pm to FalseProphet

Danny was just blah. He wasn't awful, like Adric or Mel. He was just boring. Someone had to be last on the list and it was him. I think there has been a run of strong companions since the show came back. At least they try to make them well rounded characters with a life outside of the Doctor. Some of the ones in the 70s and 80s weren't great.

My rule of thumb is that if you've traveled in the TARDIS, you are a companion. Wilf and Captain Jack qualify. Craig Owens doesn't.

Here's what I don't understand about Clara (among other things), she's seen at least three doctors in person. According to the intro from Season 7, she's somehow seen all the doctors.
So why was she so shocked by the transformation in Deep Breath?

Doctor was consistently getting younger. Then 12/13 is old.

I don't think she remembers all of her "selves" that saved the Doctor. So, she's really only seen Smith. And he is "hers". Capaldi is too different, too harsh. She can't handle it at first.
I think it was a splendid analogy for his Moffet thought all the new fangirls would hand Capaldi.

Random SPOILER thoughts
Capaldi and Michelle Gomez were top notch.
Heck of a cliffhanger.
Why am I OK with them bringing The Master/Missy back without even trying to explain how she lived, but it bugs me when they pull the same stuff with Davros and the Daleks?

I wish to god they would stop. How many times do the Daleks have to be killed throughout all of time and space, yet they keep showing up?
Evidently Crazy Tennant sucked at destroying them.

They never explain anything. Similar to Clara jumping into the Doctor's time stream then the next time we see her, they pretend nothing happened.

I didn't think Missy died in her last appearance in the cemetery, I thought she teleported away just before the Doctor could kill her. Could be wrong.
Everything else, well..it's timey wimey stuff. I find the show much more enjoyable if I don't try to make too much sense of it.

If Sherlock has taught us anything, it's that Moffat doesn't give a frick about explanations.
SPOILERS:
- The first part of the episode brought me back to the early seasons of New Who with the shitty special effects (Missy through the tv, the plane thing)
- Lots of references to older seasons (both New and Classic)
- Capaldi and Coleman are great at acting
- The Essex scene was hilarious in a wtf? sort of way
- I love that the writers are taking inspiration from Classic Who for stories
- Missy's explanation of the relationship between the Master and the Doctor was great
- I'm glad I didn't read the Radio Times, as Moffat spoiled the entire ending to the episode
- As with most two-parters, I can't give a real grade until after the second part

Just watched. Thought it was a great episode.
If anyone doesn't think he's going to exterminate those hands, they haven't watch Who.

Glad I went back and re-watched Tom Baker's "Genesis of the Daleks" before watching this. Because of that, I knew immediately where The Doctor was at the start of this episode and who the little boy was. That was a very cool throwback moment.
If this episode is any indication, this season will absolutely murder last season. They're finally writing for Capaldi and not just reusing old scripts that were written for Matt Smith.
Missy was spectacular, the Doctor was great, and Clara was a badass.
I'm very excited for this season!

I mean seriously. Tired of Davros and fricking Daleks.

What I am tired of, is that they write into the story that the bad guy is permanently being wiped from TIME and SPACE only to have them show up 37 times.
And yes, I am sick and tired of the same old same old over and over and over and over.
I would love nothing more than the doctor to kill Davros as a kid.
Where's Sayid when you need him?

Truth be told, I was more interested in Missy being The Rani (rather than The Master), and I was more interested in the enemy this season being Morbius rather than Davros.
These repeated storylines are getting boring. But, I thought the acting was superb and I enjoyed the episode.

I'm with you on Davros but they can't "exterminate" the Daleks.
