Now there will be spoilers as I try to piece together this story for myself, and you.
We see a little boy running across a wore torn field containing Hand mines, stranded, suddenly the Doctor appears, offering a helping hand The Doctor is surprised when the boy reveals his identity.
This was simply pure brilliance, watching this I'll be honest I found myself thinking, can life get any better then watching this? So many elements to it, I felt like it had been written purely for my own personal enjoyment. Where to begin, I'll start with the scare factor, the hand mines and Colony Sarff both hit the mark, really scary ideas, snakes too, yikes!!
I fell in love with Missy in Season 8, for good reason, she was once again truly magical, her return was so big and bold, I loved it. She just owns the screen.
What I particularly loved was the story itself, they dared to reference Genesis of the Daleks, how bold was that, Davros posed a question to the Doctor, could he kill a child if it grew up to be totally evil. I loved seeing UNIT, Ohila, the Shadow Architect, classic Daleks, Skaro, Jay Griffiths, the list just goes on. The humour was great too, Missy tickling the Dalek, and the Doctor calling Colony Sarff a snake nest in a dress.
The rebirth of Skaro is long overdue, and it looked awesome, even the doors used were reminiscent of the ones used in the 60s.
10/10 Pure brilliance, next Saturday cannot come quickly enough.
