The Witches Familiar one of the few second parters that was better than the first. Just everything was brilliant and felt like it just clicked and those glasses. I do not think it was implying anything about the Doctor being half Dalek or him leaving because off it. The pacing was brilliant and Davros's deception was a masterstroke by Moffat as I actually believed that he was dying and may have turned good but it was all a trick and I am relieved that it was and the actor must play with his eyes shut as he only opened them during this episode, what an actor.

The episode was definitely one of the best that Moffat has written with the Clara Dalek and Doctor scene being brilliant with even me wondering if Clara would be killed off and the Doctor's reaction to thinking Clara was dead and after the reveal of Clara being inside the casing was a stroke of genius and the mercy inclusion was awesome (a Dalek also said mercy in The Pandorica Opens to River Song but the Doctor did not hear it). The two parter will go down in history as among the very best and proves that Moffat is still the best writer on the show and with ideas like this could have many years left if he continues with this level of inventiveness, genius, characters and plot. Just brilliant and an absolute instant classic.
