Spoiler: The Daleks are back.
Spoiler: The Twelfth Doctor is not especially warm and fuzzy.
Spoiler: There's a lot of pew-pew-pew and boom-boom-boom.
Spoiler: For the second week in a row, it's not the A-plot that has me so excited about Series 8.

i kinda like what moffat is doing with the daleks. instead of making them the big bads, they become counterarguments to the doctor. moreover, by redefining the archnemesis of the main character, the main character is redefined.
Chip – Your stuff is always good, but the last minute of this is simply phenomenal. I covet your ability to articulate such arresting insights as, "When the Doctor rejects Journey, he rejects himself," and his uncertainty about his own "redecoration." Awesome review. I think I liked the episode overall better than you seemed to, but all you liked about it, I did, too.
Nice shout-out to Weird Al!
