The Witch's Familiar review

The Witch's Familiar
The follow up episode to The Magician's Apprentice. (Reviewing on it's own merits. The review of the two parter as such will be next.) This wasn't as disjointed as the previous outing (by virtue of it being set entirely on Skaro). There are a few interesting interactions, although why Clara is showing so much naivity towards Missy is not well understood. However, the interactions between the Doctor and Davros make up for that, with some very good discussions about compassion (particularly that of the Doctor and the lack of it in the Daleks) and respect (the way Davros dismisses it as a design flaw).
A question, though, how does the Doctor produce regeneration energy on a whim, as it were? (It has happened before, but that was Romana, not the Doctor.) A good conclusion to the two-parter. 7.5/10.
