Red sky huh? I think I know where this is gong.

Edit Yup

POW!

God damn it Moffit.


Whatever. That episode was amazing anyway

 

[Magwik]

If this ends with the doctor being the hybrid.....

lolololol

 

[twobear]

"half human, on my mother's side"

 

[Lashley]

That was brilliant, except for every room resetting except the one with the diamond like wall

 

[Stuart444]

Great episode. Can't wait for next weeks now

 

[Slowdive]

Amazing episode. Can't wait for next week's.

 

[Magwik]

THAT PREVIEW
HNNNNNNNNG

 

[Tregard]

Holy shit, best episode of the season no question. Bit of a quibble with the wall not resetting, but even still, amazing setting, Capaldi knocked it out of the park as per and the ending was incredible.

Originally thought Bird was meant to represent Phoenix, the idea that the Doctor burns himself and rises from the ashes. How will the fandom take the idea the original Doctor died, as well as the next trillion or so iterations of him?

 

[iMax]

If this ends with the doctor being the hybrid.....

hahaha

 

[CMDBob]

God DAAAAAAAAAMN.

That episode was absolutely amazing. Wasn't bored for a single minute, and the ending...

Can't wait for next week.

HOLY BALLS.

I did love the touch of him getting further through the story as he tunnelled deeper into the wall.

 

[Broken Joystick]

If Moffat and co need a year off to make episodes like that for a full series, do it

 

[twobear]

the way that i called it weeks ago, ugh my power

also, 'nothing is half dalek'

 

[JoeM86]

Well that was astonishingly good. Very few actors are capable of holding together such a thing on their own and Capaldi nailed it.

While I twigged on the time loop very early on, damn that's brutal. Billions of years just to break through.

I want it to be next week already.

So this was caused by a giraffe? I knew it!

 

[SictorVullivan]

NIGHTMARE SLAIN.

That episode was incredibly amazing, took a while but when you realised what was going - wow!

 

[DrForester]

the way that i called it weeks ago, ugh my power

Doctor just retconed that episode out of existence. That's why we love Capaldi.

 

[Lashley]

Yeah same, I can look past the wall not resetting

Also, next week won't be the Doctor

Spoiler

regenerating

maybe the Master or Rassilon?

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Gallifrey huh?

Wonder if Timothy Dalton will be in the finale

 

[Ozium]

as soon as the building started to rotate and shit I figured it was the confession dial with interior relative dimensions like a tardis...

good ep tho

 

[Real Hero]

maybe the best episode the show, it was really good.

 

[DrForester]

Spoiler

Rassilon would be my guess. Have there been any rumors of Timothy Dalton returning?

 

[BossDarkseid]

Gallifrey huh?

Wonder if Timothy Dalton will be in the finale

That would be glorious.

Also...I can't remember but between the series and Big Finish is Omega actually dead?

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Also, I wonder if this and the last ep is moffat giving the middle finger to people saying he doesn't like killing people

"I killed the doctor's companion, AND I killed the doctor...3 billion times"

 

[Daria Morgendorffer]

That really was an amazing episode, I love Capaldi as the Doctor so much

 

[iMax]

Gallifrey huh?

Wonder if Timothy Dalton will be in the finale

Considering he coated all the camera equipment in saliva last time round, probably not.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

That would be glorious.

The tv series ignores BF if the story they want to make calls for it.

Series wise he's in the anti-matter dimension after his failed escape against the fifth doctor.

Considering he coated all the camera equipment in saliva last time round, probably not.

I loved the spitlord man

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Holy shit in the TV trailer there's

Spoiler

A weeping angel and what looks to be David Tennant's face on a screen

 

[DJMicLuv]

Thank fuck they didn't decide to run it 'Endless 8' style every week for the next 2 years.

Fantastic episode. PC is DOAT!

 

[Kathian]

I'd like to point out everywhere till the end of my life that The Doctor from last week was murdered by Moffat this ep.

 

[MouldyK]

that next time trailer

Spoiler

"degeneration in progress"

It said REGENERATION.

Subtitles were on.

 

[JoeM86]

A friend just made a good point

Spoiler

The Doctor said "The hybrid is me". Potentially some wordplay there by Moffat, obviously referring to Ashildr a.k.a. "Me"

Unless it's the whole "half-human on my mother's side" stuff.

 

[Newlove]

Damn, I dipped out at episode 4 and was hoping to catch up but they only have 6 onwards on iPlayer.

 

[Maddocks]

Beautiful episode. I loved every second of it. Poor doctor was stuck in there for 7k years before we even see him actually go through it all and then at the end when he realizes that he has been doing it for a billion+ years chipping away at something stronger then diamonds with only his fists....got damn. I can see why he is very pissed off.

 

[DECK'ARD]

If Moffat and co need a year off to make episodes like that for a full series, do it

Yeah, take as much time as you need to write stories like that.

 

[Slowdive]

TV Trailer. Holy shit.

oops, my mistake.

 

[Lashley]

Yeah, he basically went from angry, vengeful badass to a bumbling scaredycat within 20 minutes

So what was the significance of writing bird? I missed that.

I liked the significance of "BIRD".

So what was the significance of writing bird? I missed that.

"That's a hell of a bird"

The doctor tipping himself off that he needs to start chipping.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Wonder if the diamond wall was a call back to the White Point Star?

 

[EvilRedEye]

Negativity corner:

What the buggering shit was going on with that random text on the wall part way through? It looked like a display in the visitor attraction they were filming in that they couldn't be bothered to cover up but it was RIGHT THERE IN THE FRAME and I wanted the Doctor to JUST TURN AROUND AND READ IT FOR GOD'S SAKE.

EDIT: Oh, it was the text of the Doctor's speech from the beginning of the episode (just checked iPlayer).

Other than that, great episode!

That was bloody amazing. Nothing more to add right now. Very, very happy. Capaldi certainly got an episode he deserved.
