Well Dark Waters was the shittiest shitter of an episode to ever grace my eyes.
First and foremost, how was Missy actually getting the dead bodies? It's one thing to "upload" their consciousness (which I'll bet money isn't going to get any better explained), but then the bodies are just magically there even though they aren't??????????? Honestly, I don't see why there wasn't some thing about dead bodies disappearing. Then we could have had an actual premise to the episode, and piqued The Doctor's interest from the start without that fucking volcano scene.
Seriously did anyone else feel like that volcano scene was just a huge middle finger? That was the most interesting thing to happen on the show in ages, and it was all a dream.
Basically, too much of Clara and Danny and not enough explaining what was actually going on, as per usual. The only hint we have at a motive is Missy's big reveal, which we can assume only means CONQUER EARTH, again. Yawn. At least I'm compelled to watch next week's ep in hope of getting some closure, or even just some things better explained. BAD DOUBLE EPISODE PACING CLIFFHANGER DEPLOY!
Also inb4 Danny saves the day because he stops being a cyberman because love. I'm basically groaning already.
