I feel like Danny Pink was a far better person than this show deserved.
Why do I suspect the Xmas show may do...something with Danny?
We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm still mad about Osgood, but it was a pretty good finale. I fully expected them to bring Danny back somehow, so I guess I have to give them props for sticking to their guns...for now. I liked how his soldier story really came together in the end.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Certainly he was a better person than Clara deserved. Which I'm glad the finale didn't shy away from.

I liked Osgood, and thought she'd make a great companion. Conversely, her death scene was one of the best scenes in the episode. (Michelle Gomez's facial expressions are amazing.)

All is well that ends in pizza.
Ultimately though it was the Michelle Gomez show, and she was superb. And her scheme was as mad as ever. (I retain the hope that she'll be back. Killing the Master with her own weapon, I'm sure that'll work just fine.)
I suspect the device to have been programmed to teleport her to her TARDIS if ever fired her way.

I did not recognize Nick Frost. I need a bigger screen.

I want the Adventures of Cyber-Brigadier.
They could do a stand-alone or team him up with M. Vastra, Jenny, and Strax.

How much do I want this? Can't even splain...

Oh, while I think of it, Ryan sat down to watch this one with me. About the time Danny took off his face-plate I turned it off. That visual is I think a bit much for a five year old. (Up to that stage he'd been more or less ok by embracing the cliche. Yes, my little boy was watching from behind the couch. Though at one point he demanded that I join him behind said couch.)
So far Ryan's watched The Day of the Doctor and The Three Doctors. I'm not sure what to try him on next. Something in the Tennant era, maybe. (Not The Satan Pit.)

As is right and true.
I keep watching the coda, hoping it won't give me the giggles and I keep failing. Xmas can't come too soon.

Now imagine Nick Frost as Santa joining Peter Capaldi as his regular companion. Every week it's an irascible force meeting an affable, metatextual object.
