I hope that is what wound up the Radio Times guy. Good. I could forgive Moffat many things but introducing harps and bearded men on clouds into Doctor Who would be a step too far. Hoping for a nicely contentious piece of humanist science fiction.
And if that guy is upset because it dares to suggest death might be an ultimate end then he is an idiot who shouldn't be in a position to review the show in the first place. |

Patrick Mulkern, Radio Times.
I'm quite relieved actually. I said before on here ages ago that any attempt at going all god-ified would be mega out of place in a show like Doctor Who. There's enough pandering to these lunatics in the day to day without them infiltrating my favourite show. |

Going to hazard a guess that all the UNIT stuff is from Part 2.. they're not on the cast list IIRC.

Den of Geek Review - I won't say which way it swings, but at least this line should appeal to somebody. Quote:

Some kind of spoilery hints to be found at Wales Online here...

The Radio Times is bizarre this week.
There's Patrick Mulkern's weirdly negative 'Pick of the Day': "A lot of this episode will appear crass and in poor taste to anyone who's suffered a bereavement. Which is most of us." What??? And then there are the oddly negative 'celebrity' comments about how Peter Capaldi is doing as the Doctor. For some reason they even included AA Gill's (The Sunday Times) negative comments about Capaldi's first episode ("It wasn't an audition for a new part, rather a post-mortem for a venerable career"). Weird way for the BBC's own magazine to 'promote' one of its most watched shows. |

I imagine there will be some who believe in an afterlife who may not take to Doctor Who's interpretation.... ...which is presumably that there isn't one and the finale is going to remind you repeatedly, as will The Doctor. Eddie mentioned this in his review.

So this episode is in some way saying there's no such thing as an afterlife?

Isn't this pretty much already established in the Who universe thanks to Torchwood? Captain Jack tells the suicidal man that there's nothing when you die.
As I said before, the overall concept of the show isn't exactly in accordance with religious doctrine so if anyone's offended they really ought to get a grip. |

DWTV's preview is as ambiguous as expected - and speculates that Missy is be a major player in the Whoniverse.

Ugh. It all sounds awesome. I can't wait until Saturday now! I've not been looking forward to a final so much since 'The Pandorica Opens'.
