"Give a good man firepower and he'll never run out of people to kill." Why do the villains always have the best one-liners?

*I'm honestly going to miss this version of The Master. The psychopathic Marry Poppins persona was starting to grow on me.*

I like to think that Missy, really was able to calculate when the Doctor's birthday would be and concucted her whole plan to coincide with it, just for the gifting thing

Capaldi: "I... AM..." Me: "The Doctor!" Capaldi: "An Idiot?" Me: "Wait, what?"

"good men have too many rules" "Good men don't need rules. Today is not the day to find out why I have so many"

2 things I've thought about 1. the fandom would've died if a cyberman saw the doctor and said "Raggedy man, Delete." 2. Moffat found another way to kill Rory

Missy knew she’d lost from the second he smiled. The smile means the doctor just won.

"I need my friend back" how she delivers this line gives me the chills every time

"I need my friend back". The tone of Missy's voice made me feel so sad here.

"I AM.... an Idiot" the way he says that always gets me.

Its like Steven Moffat said. "Only a good man would question if he's a good man."

"The master turns into a chick" Missy: I need you to know we are not so different "The doctor turns into a chick"

"Aww, come on, smile. I wanna see if your eyebrows fall off!" -Missy 2k13

Dear god, seeing this and knowing Missy's end, it makes it the more sad "I want my friend back". At the end, she gets her friend back. But he'll never know she chose him over, well, himself.

3:07 the look of wistful resignation Missy gives right after "I am an idiot". Gets me every time. Missy honestly does love the Doctor as a friend, she's just too screwed up to express it in a healthy way. In some ways she's the first incarnation of the Master to be remotely sane in a long time, to be able to be honest with themselves, but it's still clouded by all that damage. She's like a tiny bit of sanity at the bottom of the well screaming.

Capaldi is my favourite Doctor Because he moved passed hate (Eccleston), anger (Tennant) and regret (Smith) He is the Doctor who accepts who he is, for better or worse And that’s something we humans still struggle to do

Everyone: "The Doctor is disgusted by the idea of kissing someone!" The Doctor: *kisses missy*

"I am not a good man, and I'm not a bad man. I am not a hero and I'm definitely not a president and no I'm not an officer. You know what I am? I am an idiot, with a box and a screwdriver, just passing through, helping out, learning. I don't need an army, I never have, because I've got them, always them, because love is not an emotion, love is a promise."

Doctor: "I am... an idiot!" The entire orchestra: *pauses* "wait what"

And this is the Doctor! Not some glorified, unkillable chosen one. Just a madman with a heart of gold.

“Love is not an emotion. Love is a promise.” God, Capaldi had some epic one liners.

"Armies are for the people who think they are right" - Missy - Series 8 "I do what I do because it's right" - The Doctor - Series 10 The Master in 'The Doctor Falls' remembers what he said, it all makes sense now!!

"I'm not a Batman."

Something I find interesting about this is that it was pretty close to being a scenario that I think would have been an actual moral dilemma for the doctor. If not for cases like Danny where they retain some of their humanity. An army of Cybermen made up exclusively of the dead and therefore made without hurting anyone is something I think the doctor would have had a better chance of accepting.

I'll just say it Peter Capaldi is an AMAZING Doctor

If you watch series 8 carefully, there is a clear story arch. The story arch is the Doctor's character development. The Doctor's appearance is old, remember what Madame Vastra said that the Doctor has lifted his veil and revealed himself, changing from young to old. Parallel to that, his character is more open-book type, unlike his predecessor 11th who always hides his feelings and keeps closed-book. 12th is beginning to question himself in the series (and in series 9 too). Starting in Deep Breath, 12th's confrontation with the mechanic robot, then moves on to Into the Dalek, where he questions Clara "Am I a good man?" to realising that he is a "Good Dalek" and full of hatred. In Robot of Sherwood, he states that he is not a hero to Robin Hood, indicating that he is still questioning his identity. In Listen, we explore the Doctor's fear and how he overcomes it. We can also deduce from this episode that the Doctor is always in fear because he always runs and is brave. In Time Heist, the Doctor is hating the architect upon realising the architect's identity. He is quite hating himself, though I'm not really sure how to elaborate this one. In The Caretaker, the Doctor is expressing his care for his companions, shown by he early disapproval of Clara's dating Danny because he was a soldier. But then, as long as his companion is safe, he is okay with it. In Kill the Moon and Mummy on the Orient Express, I'm not really sure about it, so I will skip this one, but I think the Doctor is dealing with his attitude and relationship with Clara. Contrary to Kill the Moon (maybe because of his tense with Clara in Kill the Moon), In the Forest of the Night shows the Doctor trying to help to save the Earth, and not letting humanity acts alone (this development leads to the part of his speech "passing through, helping out"). In the series finale, We see the Doctor is helping Clara to find Danny in "hell" even though that might break the law of time and also even though he has been betrayed by Clara. That is because he is trying to be the Doctor, always helping no matter what. And in the end, he is confronted by Missy, who wants to help him save the universe. The Doctor, who always wants to save the universe, is faced with this moral act of using the cyber-bracelet. He is remembering his promise of the Doctor: Never be cruel never be cowardly. Using an army to defeat monster is a cruel and cowardly thing, one thing that the Doctor doesn't want to be. So be it, he is realising his own character: full of hatred, hates soldier, not a hero, never uses weapon, never be cruel, never be cowardly, always cares people, always helping out with only a box and a screwdriver. Long enough.

What's weird is I think in her own twisted way Missy was actually trying to be good here.

"I need my friend back" - I know it sounds mad to root for Missy, but my heart breaks a bit for her here 1:35

My new favorite quote is" love isn't an emotion love is a promise"

Never knew anyone who called themselves an idiot and was so damn proud of it. :P

I keep coming back to watch this clip...and this episode as a whole. The thing that strikes me the most is Michelle Gomez as Missy. She is, in my opinion, THE absolute best incarnation of The Master. Every time she's on screen, it feels like she's giving acting lessons to everyone around her, and that's saying something when you're playing opposite to Peter Capaldi, who is an absolutely brilliant actor.

I imagine he remembers back in his Christopher Eccleston form ' You'd make a good Dalek'

the thing is that the doctor has known that he is not a good man. good men need no rules. the doctor... well he has sooo many.

Missy was probably my favourite non-companion character from the whole series

Oh, come on, crack a smile! I want to see if those eyebrows drop off.

"Love is not an emotion. It's a promise" The best description of love ever.

Never understood why this episode got so much hate...?

Loved this scene, echoes the complexity behind the Doctor and the Master's relationship throughout the show while putting a new angle on it... Missy wants to prove to the Doctor he is just like her and in a twisted sort of way actually wants to help him. I loved the whole "undead Cybermen" take too. Not only did this two-parter throwback to The Invasion but to Tomb of the Cybermen as well.

DANNY PINK: "Rain will not fall." MISSY: "Oh. Why won't it?" DANNY PINK: "The clouds will burn." MISSY: "And who will burn them?" DANNY PINK: "I will burn them." MISSY: "How?" DANNY PINK: "I will burn." MISSY: "One burning Cyberman is hardly going to save the planet." DANNY PINK: "Correct." The most badass Danny Pink moment ever. Applauding.

Capaldi is a master of speeches as always, but my favorite part of this scene is honestly Danny's sendoff. He wasn't a particularly great character, but I liked how he didn't really put up with the Doctor's shenanigans, and the whole "we will burn" thing has such a powerful energy to it.

I'm not gonna lie I liked season 8. I feel like I'm the minority

The scene after this has Amy and Rory dying one last time. You don't see it, but if you think about it happens.

*dramatic music plays* I. AM... An idiot! *dramatic music stops in confusion* With a box and a screwdriver *dramatic music tentatively comes back, confused as to whether it's supposed to be there or not*

rewatching this now made me realise an amazing thing about Moffat's story writing. 12th's first season finale was about Missy showing him that he is like her. 12th's final season was about him showing her that she is like him. Just goes to show the relationship of these two and how much they need each other.

wish they would have at least finished Pink's speech at the end

After not hearing ''I am the Doctor'' for a whole season, 2:48 gave me the best eargasm I've ever had.

2:50-when that music starts and he smiles like that, let's be honest, every DW fan's heartbeat goes up by 10 because we're about to see something awesome.

I don’t know what I love more. The doctors cheeky smirk just before his declaration, or the way all of the stress and hate melts away from missy upon his answer, and she looks almost endeared in that moment. She thought she could finally bring him down to her level, and he just completely flips the script and she can’t help but love the fact her old friend always has a way out, is always, in the end, a good person. The master/missy’s hatred of the doctor is only eclipsed by their love and admiration of him. Knowing in the end missy stood for him and died is so sad, but so beautiful, he finally cracked their shell and ignited that spark of compassion and empathy again. Anytime the master and missy are on the same page you have to worry, they stormed into skaro without a single causality, they faced down rassilon, they truly could be the universes greatest force

Imagine if that was the graveyard Amy+Rory were buried in and he looked at the two cybermen behind him and cried again..

WE WANT MORE MISSY

This scene... This scene is so magnificently dark, and yet, tells you everything about The Doctor in a few short minutes. You really feel for Missy - she's been too clever, and lost - and she knows it. Great writing, and brilliant acting really make this stand out.

It took me a while to warm up to Capaldi because he was so different from Matt Smith. He brought it each and every week and won me over. When the writing was good, Capaldi brought his best performances. When it was bad, he still managed to shine in the way only a strong actor could accomplish. You can't help but watch him whenever he's on the screen. He has the right amount of gravitas to play this character and I miss him. I do love Jody and hope her writing will improve next season so she can shine bright as well.

"Love is not an emotion. Love is A PROMISE." That's one of The Doctor's smartest comments. Yes, love is not merely an emotion. Love is something more. An attitude towards the world and the people dear to you. A promise of support and care no matter what happens. Love is true power.

I have to say it... I liked Season 8 and its story arc.. I'm sorry, I just personally enjoyed it. It didn't always make sense but scenes like this just make me happy that Peter Capaldi had a chance to be The Doctor

Missy showed why the Doctor would never kill the Master-he knew his friend was still in there.

I genuinely loved that episode. It was a glorious farewell to PE, who I for one quite liked, and this scene was insanely meaningful for the Doctor. He had spent the last so very long trying to be a hero and fearing he was a villain. He needed to remember that for all his knowledge and resources he really is just a random idiot in a box.

Missy was such a worthy adversary.

Man... Missy needs to come back!

I really loved 12's character arc over his tenure, because his first series really was him just trying to figure out who he is now. For most incarnations we get that learning period for maybe an episode or two, but 12 took a little longer. Maybe it was the new regeneration cycle, or maybe it was just all the crap he had been through, but it took him an entire season to arrive at this conclusion. This is when he really started to feel like The Doctor to me, and he's since grown to become my favorite Doctor.

The "I need my friend back" hit a nerve in me.

"I AM A IDIOT!"

Missy: One burning Cyberman can hardly save the planet. P:...correct...LET'S TRY ALL THE CYBERMEN BURNING TOGETHER! :D Go P! Go and kick ass! :D

3:06 is the moment where missy realised she did have her friend back. The doctor remembered who he was and returned to being her best enemy

I absolutely loved Missy. A character written well and performed with love by Ms Gomez. I simply adore HER. SHE was SO entertaining, I looked forward to every episode she was in.

And I hereby declare myself the only one who loved this arc or this episode in general! XD

This? This is the best dynamic of the Doctor and the Master for me An ambiguous irrational Master who does what she wants and a calculative cold Doctor who does what he must because above everything else it is kind

I called Missy being the Master almost as soon as she started showing up.

While 12 is my Doctor, it took me a while to warm up to him and it was here when that realization was starting and and was his kindness speech that made me realize it

Good God Missy was the best. She chews up the scene any time she's on screen. it's amazing. "I need you to understand that we're not so different. I need my friend back." There's a lot packed into those two lines, especially with how The Doctor's face reacts to them. And the fact that he more or less does manage to redeem The Master... proves she was right. Just not quite how she initially meant it.

I loved this episode. Just an opinion to combat all the negative ones.

Capaldi was just so good. Look at his face at 2:10 when he realises what Missy has set him up for. He was a really great Doctor and hardly anyone acknowledges this.

I just love how proud Missy looks as CyberDanny gives her sass.

There's a lot people saying here that they like or dislike Peter Capaldi as the Doctor. I don't really have a favourite myself, I just like to think that each actor that played the Doctor each brought in something special to the Doctor Who series and made it such a great TV series, they're all brilliant in their own way! :) I hope the series continues on for a long time yet!

This just gives the show so much history. "I need my friend back..." I almost cried!

this is one of the best master portrayals RIP MISSY

I won't survive without the "don't forget to click below" Capaldi jumpscare... :(

This is not the Doctor's moment. This is Danny Pink's moment. I salute you Danny. Not as a soldier, but a good man who went to war.

See that's why Missy was great the idea that the master had finally gotten to the point of loneliness, that in a twisted ass way was trying to get her friend back.

Missy's face: 'well yes, we all know that'

Love how Danny P. says: -"the rain will not fall" -"oh why won't it?" -"the clauds will burn" -"and who will burn them?" -"I will burn them" -"how" -"I will burn"

Missy is so much better than the old master

The current doctor don't have a single quote that stuck in my brain. So I'm rewatching the old ones.

' love is not an emotion. Love is a promise'. So incredibly true and such a beautiful way to put it 💖

This is just so perfect, one of this moments that show how humble the doctor, and anyone can be, this should be what any super hero, or hero, or just adventures stories need to reach, that there's no such thing as a good man, because we all have made, and should make horrible mistakes to learn from them, that anyone is a saint, but at the same time, anyone can be a saint, anyone brave enough to help with whatever is needed, maybe just something stupid like asking someone how is it going in a bus stop. Because you may change that person's world, or something as stupid as writing a fiction, a story, a characther that can inspire people to be better and to have fun and be good and expand the joy all over the world. For one self and for others, I think that's when the world is better, will be better. And I wouldn't feel more hopeful of that dream than when I watch Doctor Who, Capaldi will always be my favorite.

0:41 what a Simm reference, you can still tell he's in there somewhere

2:45 Love how Missy sees that grin and you can tell she knows she's beaten but not how.

This scene is where this Doctor finally clicked into place for me. For most of the series, I struggled to engage but here is where I saw just what he was capable of. Queue two series of character defining performances. I still think he had one more series in him.

Capaldi and Michelle Gomez was screen gold. Their dynamic was 🔥

The cast in the Doctor series is always brilliant, the problem is the scrip. The cast do his best with low quality lines.

CAPALDI IS INCREDIBLE

In that moment, all doubts as to who he was, just slipped away, and he was The Doctor again

"♫ I need my ♫ friend back ♫" God I love Missy.

This was the scene that made him the doctor for me.

I miss these two. Terrific actors

I think the 12th's era is a sadly underappreciated arc. I loved him!!

12: “I don’t need an Army, I’ve got them.” The Celestial Toymaker: “WELL THAT’S ALRIGHT THEN!”

Am I the only person who just LOVES the way all the music stops when he says idiot then continues straight afterwards

"Armies are for people who think they're right" holy f that goes hard

Missy's face at 3:06 when the Doctor says he is an idiot 😂She is like, yes, yes you are an idiot !

Whenever anyone does a compilation of the Doctor's greatest speeches, they always skip this one. It's easy to overlook, it wasn't a long one. But it was one of the best.
