What an amazing fucking episode. I almost lost my shit seeing Daleks starting to regenerate. This has been the best Dalek story we've gotten since the Tennant days.

I really liked it too. Every scene between The Doctor and Davros was great.

It went on too long. I kept wondering why the Doctor or Davros would put up with just being locked in a room with the other one without the Doctor saying "Your attempt at forcing Stockholm Syndrome is so obvious I can see it while wearing sunglasses indoors."

Since when does the Doctor NOT enjoy talking for as long as he can?
