moffat said i only get one chance i HAVE to fucking kill the companion and bring them back to life in 45 minutes if that’s all the time i have. companions have to be dead for a little while, it’s good for them, it’s like enrichment. adds flavour. and he was right

Proof that the Doctor can just stand in one spot for an episode and still carry the whole bloody episode.
Bravo Ncuti for encapsulating the whole of the Doctor's character while standing still.

Just love easter eggs in Doctor Who - especially ones that span across years and years of the show, and this episode brought us all the way from 2005:
To 2017:
To 2024:
This episode was 19 years in the making.
And personally brought me from 2 to 21.

Ah, yes, the three types of Doctor Who episodes:
Silly space nonsense that is just a thinly veiled critique of one of society's current issues
Unexpected historical figures show up and do cool stuff that will never make it into any history books
The most traumatizing and anti-capitalistic 45 minutes of television you will ever see

Another Susan Twist. And they talked about the fact he's a father. I wonder if they're building up to some kind of... Susan... twist?

if i had one nickel for every time the word “lesbian” was spoken aloud on doctor who, i’d have two consecutive nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s incredible that it happened twice in a row and neither example was during that whole series with an openly lesbian companion
