I'm excited about Missy because it's Sue White from Green Wing ! But I agree that the scene left me sort of baffled, confused, and not really wanting to see more. We'll see where she goes.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Hulu does a free week.
Really? I thought they did a free month. Boo. Regardless, we have to pony up for Hulu once fall shows premiere, because we don't have a DVR and we're going to have too many shows, especially on nights when we have standing commitments. It'll end up being cheaper than buying episodes on iTunes. (Our DVD player streams Netflix and YouTube; I wish it streamed Hulu.) (Hey, maybe I should see if there's a software update for the DVD player. Maybe it'll have Hulu.)

the First Doctor, the only other Doctor played by someone over 50
Very late to this but: Pertwee was also over 50.
I rewatched; Capaldi is even better the second time around. In a way I find it a bit of a drag that Doctor always has to be all weird and unpredictable immediately post Regeneration, but I suppose it lets an actor settle in. If the Doctor we saw in the final scene, after he's finished redecorating the Tardis and chosen his outfit; if that's Twelve then that's fine with me.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
So, I was re-watching with my brother (fun conversation: Is there a canonical for "in this fic, one of them is a lizard" answer: Apparently not). My concern with Missy is that she's gonna be one of those "personification of fandom" characters and it's going to be awful and cringe-inducing.

Defiance is two episodes again tonight and it's also the finale.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Extant: whoever that little kid is, he's out acting the Oscar winning actress. She's awful. And the escape from the basement scene was extra awful.
Enver, OTOH, is a sexy little minx.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Enver's on Extant? I was not taking that into account. Hm.
