S8E12: Death in Heaven (SPOILERS)

The epic conclusion to tonight's very.... wow-episode...

Did the UK get a trailer? We got a spot for the Graham Norton show here in the US.

Nope, no trailer. I guess that's why they added in scenes of UNIT and stuff that wasn't in this episode. Kinda annoying really, I don't see why we couldn't have a trailer for each episode.

There is a Radio times trailer and a tv advert on YouTube for Death in Heaven

Yep, just saw this!

Oooo I didn't see that one yet thanks Scary.

What I wanna know is how does that Mondas Cyberman head that Capaldi is holding in the print ad play into the story if it even does.

If the Doc calls them in to take on Missy and her Cybermen it would be too cool.

But I don't think Moff has it in him to pull that awesomeness off

I think there should be some extended form of the title "Moff." Maybe... "Grand Moff Steven."

^ I love that "Master" trailer! Ainley's voice at the end!

Let's hope it is a perception filter thingy and this character turns into a man in the finale'

We could do better and hope this entire series was a dream dreamt by the newly regenerated Doctor.

That Master trailer is nifty. Really enjoy it. Curious that it explains away the abandoned line.

So here's a What if for ya

What if Missy teams up with John Simm's Master as a sort
of Bonnie and Clyde vs the Doctor then turn on each other
where Missy kills Simm to regenerate into herself but Simm kills
Missy at the same time to regenerate into a new Master.

Man that would be a crazy scene indeed.

It would seem that every actor who has played the Master on screen is in this trailer...except one.

And boy, is he pissed.



I believe this could be a grab of his reaction of disgust at having been shot "by a girl."

Hmmm.

It is Jacobi's voice doing the "I. Am. The...."

WOW...what a great trailer...so much is implied that I hope is followed up on in the episode!

Pretty sure that trailer is fan made.

If it is; they did a great job. It's very slick

Ah yes, sorry if I confused people, but the most recent trailer that I posted is also fan-made and not an official BBC trailer. I should have mentioned! It just looked really cool so I thought I'd share.

Nope, turns out it's his reaction of disgust at having been trolled by Scary.

I thought it was odd the BBC were ready to "canonize" Eric Roberts.

There goes my theory that Missy was going to regenerate into Jacobi at the end of this episode.

Considering the BBC have canonised the Eighth Doctor, they should've canonised the Roberts Master...

I thought it was revealed that the Jacobi Master was human since he was a boy... like the Master turned himself into a kid or something when he used the chameleon arch, then aged into Jacobi. Been a while since I watched those last three Series 3 episodes, though.

I think he just had those memories of being a boy, courtesy of the Arch.

I am pretty sure there is an audio snippet from the Eye of Harmony scene in the TVM of the Roberts Master in Utopia. So I would say that pretty well canonizes him.

A very brief line of Roberts saying "Master" is played, but plausible deniability.

Isn't there some oddity to the TV Movie rights though? Like, the BBC retains access to all its copyrighted property (TARDIS, Doctor, Master) but the stuff created for the Fox version (variant Theme Song, companions, the none-Master side of Eric Roberts) are still owned by Fox? I could have sworn this is why Big Finish aren't allowed to use Grace and Chang Lee. (Though this begs the question of how IDW were able to use Grace in Prisoners of Time.)
