Clara isn't dead! Missy isn't dead! 

Davros isn't dead... 

Last night was the second episode in the newest series of Doctor Who and we got to see what exactly happened with the Doctor and 'young Davros'. Like last week I will just simply be talking about what I liked about the episode and also discuss anything that I may have not enjoyed - maybe with a few questions thrown in to! 

So first of all, Missy. I don't know exactly what it is, but I love her character! She is funny, witty and slightly crazy. However last night saw a little bit more of a sinister edge to her, particularly the moment where she told the Doctor that Clara was dead. I still feel we don't know enough about her and I feel that she's going to be more of a enemy that an ally, with that particular moment being a good example of my reasoning's. (Anyone?) Or she could just be very jealous of Clara and wants to be the Doctor's companion and so would say or do anything to get rid of her.

This leads me to another element of the show that I liked - the sinister/chilling moments. This stood out the most for me when Clara was trying to control the Dalek and the only words that were coming out were 'Ex-ter-min-ate!' when she was trying to say a variety of things. It just emphasised just how emotionless the Daleks are.

Overall the episode was really good and I really enjoyed it but those two things (albeit little things) were noticeable things that I liked this week.  Now onto things that I'm not too keen or not too sure on...

Sonic sunglasses?????? This can't be the end of the sonic screwdriver can it? I mean I understand that the Doctor perhaps needs to get a little bit more with current technology but the sonic screwdriver is just something that people immediately associate with the Doctor (naturally). And yes, Peter Capaldi looks pretty cool in some shades but I don't really know if I like this idea that the Doctor MAY (we don't know for sure) have sonic sunglasses. He can wear them for sure! It could be like what the bow-tie was for Matt Smith or the scarf was for Tom Baker - but please, don't get rid of the sonic screwdriver. Just update it! Maybe this time with the ability to deal with wood... But anyway that's all for dislikes!

Finally, AGAIN this week I was reminded of Oswin Oswald - especially when Clara was inside the Dalek. I don't know how it could work but I have a feeling somehow that the two stories could connect? I'm not sure but if anyone had a similar thought let me know! Maybe Clara will have a similar demise or .. ah I don't know! Regardless, the episode was awesome and I can't wait for next week!

Thank you for taking the time to read my ramblings, I really appreciate it! Sorry if there were any spelling errors of confusing parts - just let me know if you find any.

Have a lovely day or evening!
