| There's only one thing harshing my squee about this episode, and it's this. |
Moffat-Era
Tropes: Everything from last week, plus: New-look UNIT with
Osgood and the She-Brigadier, “bowties are cool”, the Doctor
coming up with an insulting nickname for someone, “Permission to
squee!”. There's a belated attempt to rectify the fact that
Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart never appeared in the new series proper.
A
Thing in a Thing: An army of Cybermen in graveyards.
The
Doctor is A: President of Earth (that's actually some pretty neat
lateral thinking on UNIT's part). Also a blood-soaked old general,
but then again Danny's got issues (see last episode).
The
Master Is A: Queen of Evil.
Clara
Lies About: Being the Doctor (though the credits apparently
believe her). She and the Doctor lie like rugs to each other in the
cafe scene.
Reasons
Clara Should Drop Danny Like A Hot Potato: Because even as a
cybernised corpse, he's still passive-aggressive, self-obsessed and
dealing with some pretty bad issues-- including threatening to shoot
her before losing all
human emotions.
Child
Count: One (undead).
The
Thick of It: Missy finally kills off Chris Addison.
It's
Actually About: How you can never be sure of anything,
except unconditional love.
