Doctor Who: 10 WTF Moments From The Magician's Apprentice
1. That Cliffhanger
“If someone who knew the future, pointed out a child to you, and told you that that child would grow up totally evil, be a ruthless dictator who would destroy millions of lives, could you then kill that child?”
That’s the question that bookends the show, starting from the Doctor meeting Davros in the cold open, and then revisiting the scene right at the very end. With a weapon in hand, he has a choice to make. Will he retain his selflessness and compassion, or is he going to take this opportunity to exterminate his biggest enemy?
It’s a huge moral question for the Doctor, and one we unfortunately have to wait before getting an answer. The sight of him holding a gun to Davros’ head is a huge moment, but his ultimate decision will be a monumental one.
