Or maybe it's simply because we killed all the witches.

he thinks he summoned police to a party because his vibes were too intense

That one actually sounds possible and plausible.

That's always the way with finales though. The promise of a really strong first episode can never be fulfilled in the second part.
The show's been fumbling followups in general. "I bet the guys who can accurately simulate the Earth down to Doctor Who's magic glasses working and interfacing with the real one will need some really clever and unpredictable plan some guys running into their base with guns and the power of love to be beat."

I agree on Heaven Sent. It was the right mix of weird concept and strong character stuff with the Doctor, like the kind of thing that got Moffat noticed when he wasn't having to crank out billions and billions of scripts.

The Cybermen have always been a decent monster but back in the day they quickly came "generic baddies" who had plots where the villain could have easily been Sontarans or Ice Warriors or pretty much anything else instead
Remember that time the emotionless cyborgs got so full of hatred and anger at Adric Earth they decided to get revenge on it by destroying it?

Good ep if a bit heavy on the usual Moffat fanwank but I think we can forgive it as it's his last bow.

I can forgive it because I really ****ing like the sockhead design. It's the only Cyberman that's really creepy in how it seems more like there's a mutilated human under a thin shell rather than it just being a humanoid robot.
They did a good job getting the Cybermen away from being a space-zombie/Borg ripoff and capturing the real horror of people choosing to turn themselves into emotionless cyborgs as a desperate survival strategy.

It was good stuff. I expect the next episode to be extra disappointing.

Reminds me of Nick Clegg, who was the lib dem deputy PM during the coalition government saying that at some sort of high level government meeting one of the Tory high-ups (either David Cameron George Osborne) got annoyed that people kep suggesting building more council housing because "it just creates more labour voters".

Then they should build and give away loads of huge houses that come with titles

Sam's basically right. The party establishment might not like him but the supporters like him enough to feel motivated to go out in the rain to vote. That's probably worth putting off some swing voters.

Rural Scotland is just England that got lost.


there's plenty of the Tory party that doesn't like him.
They said the same about Corbyn and Labour.

It would feel wrong and undemocratic to elect someone with such a close relationship to the PM who only just stepped down.

If it makes you feel any better they were probably going to push through more surveillance legislation regardless.
