Talk:Doctor Who: Last of the Time Lords/The Doctor's Master

Review: Hall of Butterflies:
Another brilliant addition to the Last of the Time Lord series. The pacing was done to perfection with brilliant changes from the Doctor plot to the Missy plot. The return of UNIT is very cool and has been well worked into the plot. The Earth Defenders show a lot of promise with their extensive set of characters that can be used.

The episode focuses on the Doctor and a Hall of Mirrors of himself with some brilliant dialogue and the usual hilarity that has come with Blue Jay's great sense of humour and great lines. Missy was brilliantly characterised with the character being given full justice with great dialogue and just general Missyness (is that a word?).

Like I have mentioned one of my favourite aspects of this series is the flow from episode to episode with there being a season long arc. I thought that this aspect was continued in this episode with subtle hints to future plots (Doomsday, why Dalek Thine hates Daleks) and another very important question, why did Missy install petrol pump into a TARDIS? The answer seemingly being because I can.

This is my favourite episode of the series so far and ranks highly in the wiki with great plot, brilliant pacing, whitty dialogue. But there is one small gripe and that is the lack of characterisation of the Earth Defenders but I feel cannot judge this until the next episode, perhaps they will have a bigger part next episode?

In the next time trailer it shows the return of the brilliant Katherine and the Doctor's daughter Jenny which promises to be one awesome adventure. The fluidity of characters appearing and then disappearing throughout the season is also great to see, could this first season rank among the very best? At this rate it looks highly like, fantastic season.

So to sum up my thoughts about the episode, the writing is brilliant and the Doctor and Missy being particularly awesome characters and we got to see King Louis (cannot remember which one, 16th?). The pacing was done to perfection and the two plots worked well with each other especially the butterfly effect explanation. Definitely an episode that will be remembered on the wiki for some time to come. An absolute joy to read, cannot wait for the next episode.
