I quite liked this episode. However, I feel like it could have been executed better at times and had the potential to be even more amazing than what we ended up getting. Despite what Moffat and Peter Capaldi advertised, we haven't seen the last of Davros, Skaro, or the Daleks, by any means.

I find the idea of a Dalek/Time Lord hybrid to be an interesting one; it goes along with the idea I had for an episode where the Doctor encounters himself in Dalek form. That said, I theorize for now that the Doctor's confession (the driving force behind this season's arc, it seems) is that he did play a role in the creation of such a creature. Fictional works rarely include prophetic elements without the intention of seeing them through. Doctor Who might not do this in such a predictable way as other series, but I doubt Davros, of all characters, would mention a Gallifreyan prophecy as a throw-away line.

Who is the hybrid? My guesses right now (unless it has not been created yet) are Clara, based on Missy's words at the end of the episode, and (I got the idea while writing this post) the enigmatic Maisie Williams. Both make great sense for many reasons…
