Подробный гайд по 8 сезону от Стивена Моффата.
На перевод меня не хватило.

Помните, я не так давно писала, что, сколько ни пугают нас дарковым Двенадцатым, я не пугаюсь, потому что уж больно светло всё закончилось у Одиннадцатого?
Всё, теперь я пугаюсь

8x01 Deep Breath
Writtten by Steven Moffat
Directed by Ben Wheatley
"Who frowned me this face?"
In late 1890-s London, swashbuckling detectives Vastra, Jenny and Strax are summoned to the banks of the Thames for a big surprise, and the an even bigger one. A new Doctor is in town, with mayhem in his wake. As Clara struggles to recognise the man she thought she knew so well, killers stalk the capital. A slaughterhouse restaurant and a buried spaceship lead the Doctor into a confrontation with a long-forgotten foe… but how far is this new man ready to go to protect his friends?


8x02 Into the Dalek
Written by Phil Ford and Steven Moffat
Directed by Ben Wheatley
Introducing Samuel Anderson as Danny Pink
"Imagine the worst thing in the universe, and then don't bother because you're looking at it right now. This is evil refined as engineering."
What’s the most dangerous place in the universe? Where is the last place the Doctor should ever stand? He’s faced with his deadliest mission yet - a journey into the heart of darkness, one even he is scared to make. In the dying days of a bitter war, a beleaguered human army has one last hope: a Dalek so damaged it has become good. But can it be trusted? To find out, a miniaturised team, led by The Doctor and Clara, embark on a fantastic voyage into the Dalek itself…


8x03 Robot of Sherwood
Written by Mark Gatiss
Directed by Paul Murphy
Guest Stars Tom Riley (Robin), Ben Miller (Sheriff)
"There's no such thing as Robin Hood!"
They meet at last! This island’s greatest hero and defender of the innocent comes face to face with Robin Hood! The only trouble is, according to the Doctor, Robin Hood can’t be real. In a sun-dappled Sherwood Forest, The Doctor discovers an evil plan from beyond the stars. But with all of Nottingham at stake (and possibly Derby), there's no time for the two adventurers to get into a fight about who is real and who isn't - which is probably why they do very little else!


8x04 Listen
Written by Steven Moffat
Directed by Douglas Mackinnon
"What's that in the mirror, and the corner of your eye? What's the footstep following, but never passing by?"
What happens when the Doctor is alone - pacing the TARDIS by candlelight, poking the shadows with a stick, listening for a footfall among all those endless, empty rooms. What scares the grand old man of space and time? What horrors lurk under his bed? Ghosts of the past and future crowd into the lives of The Doctor and Clara: a terrified caretaker in a children's home, the last man standing in the universe, and a little boy who doesn't want to join the army...


8x05 Time Heist
Written by Stephen Thompson and Steven Moffat
Directed by Douglas Mackinnon
Guest star Keeley Hawes
"Welcome to the bank of Karabraxos."
The Bank of Karabraxos is the deadliest bank in the cosmos - only a fool or genius would attempt to rob it. Fortunately for The Doctor, he's both. With the help of a beautiful shape-shifter and cyber-augmented gamer, the Doctor and Clara fight their way past the most dangerous security system ever devised. But nothing even The Doctor has encountered can prepare them for the Teller: a creature of terrifying power that can detect guilt.


8x06 The Caretaker
Written by Gareth Roberts and Steven Moffat
Directed by Paul Murphy
"Human beings have incredibly short life-spans. Frankly, you should all be in a permanent state of panic. Tick tock, tick tock!"
Clara has it all under control: her life at school, her life in space; her new boyfriend and her mad old Time Lord. Everything is humming along just fine, so long as everybody never actually meets. And then, one morning, just before assembly, Coal Hill welcomes a new relief caretaker with a Scottish accent. With Clara’s world about to explode around her, terrifying events near the school make it clear that the rest of the world is about to do the same. The Scovox Blitzer is ready to destroy all humanity - and worse, any second now, Danny Pink and the Doctor are going to meet...

С одной стороны, у Робертса должен быть лёгкий юмористический эпизод, да и по антуражу подходит. С другой, тут обещают неприятного Доктора...
С третьей, тут должно быть достаточно character stuff, и это в 8 сезоне прямо радует, ттт


8x07 Kill the Moon
Written by Peter Harness
Directed by Paul Wilmshurst
Guest stars Hermione Norris, Tony Osoba
"The little planetoid that's been tagging along beside you for a hundred million years, which gives you light at night and seas to sail, is in the process of falling to bits."
In the near future, The Doctor and Clara arrive on a decrepit shuttle making a suicide mission to the Moon. Crashing on the lunar surface, they find a mining base full of eviscerated corpses, spider-like creatures scuttling about in the dark, and a terrible dilemma. When Clara turns to the Doctor for help, she gets the shock of her life. Is the man she’s trusted so long really a hero after all? Is he even her friend?

Ещё мрачняк, который навевает мысли о "Водах Марса". Ещё раньше Моффат говорил, что это тяжёлый, эмоциональный эпизод. Героиня Гермионы Норрис, наверное, не жилец, да? И что такое всё-таки сделает Доктор? В этой серии снова появится школьница Кортни, и за её судьбу тоже можно начать опасаться.


8x08 Mummy on the Orient Express
Written by Jamie Mathieson
Directed by Paul Wilmshurst
Guest stars Frank Skinner, Foxes, David Bamber
"Start the clock!"
Aboard the most beautiful train in history, speeding among the stars of the future, a legend is stalking the passengers. Once you see the Mummy, you have 66 seconds to live. No exceptions, no reprieve. As the Doctor races against the clock to defeat this mythical foe, Clara sees him at his most deadliest and most ruthless - and finally she realises she's made the right decision. Because this is their last adventure: it's time to say goodbye to the Time Lord.

И снова мрачняк, причём в неожиданном месте! Казалось бы, "Мумия в Восточном Экспрессе" - должно быть лихо и весело, но нет! Сразу по нескольким статьям - ассоциация с "Комплексом Бога".
И - шок! Клара решает уйти. Вот уж чего я не ожидала, так это того, что во второй половине сезона их вроде бы сложившиеся отношения разладятся.
Ох, Доктор, что же ты делаешь.


8x09 Flatline
Written by Jamie Mathieson
Directed by Douglas Mackinnon
"Look, your house isn't going anywhere. And neither is mine until I figure this out."
Separated from The Doctor, Clara discovers a new menace from another dimension. But how do you hide when even the walls are no protection? With people to save and no madman in a box to help, Clara goes against an enemy that exists beyond normal human perception.

Здесь должно быть полегче, может, даже с годной крипотой. И Кларе есть, где развернуться!
Возможно, Доктор-лайт?


8x10 In the Forest of the Night
Written by Frank Cottrell Boyce
Directed by Sheree Folkson
"D'you like the forest being in Trafalgar Square? I think it's lovely."
One morning in London, and every city and town in the world, the human race wakes up to the most surprising invasion yet: the trees have moved back in. Everywhere, in every land, a forest has grown overnight and taken back the Earth - an impossible stranglehold of vegetation. The Doctor soon realises that the final days of humanity have arrived…

Задумчивый сказочный эпизод, про который пока ничего непонятно, кроме того, что там дети в количестве.


8x11/12 Dark Water / Death in Heaven
Written by Steven Moffat
Directed by Rachel Talalay
Guest stars Michelle Gomez, Chris Addison, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Jemma Redgrave, Ingrid Oliver
"You betrayed me. You betrayed my trust, our friendship, and everything I've ever stood for. You let me down."
In the mysterious world of the Nethersphere, plans have been drawn. Old friends and old enemies manoeuvre around The Doctor, and an impossible choice is looming before him. Death is not an end, promises the sinister organisation known only as 3W - but, as the Doctor and Clara discover, you might wish it was.

Всё плохо, ничего непонятно, докторчтотыделаешь, кейтчтотыделаешь.
Кто такая Мисси - по-прежнему непонятно, но есть предположение, что мы узнаем это в клиффхэнгере 11 эпизода.
Клара вроде бы выживет. И уйдёт на своих ногах. Вернётся ли в рождественском эпизоде? Хм.
Судьба Дэнни в тумане. Если Моффат найдёт в себе силы убить его насовсем, это будет довольно неожиданно. Но, такое чувство, что он может решиться убить и Клару.
