It's a loose once, the stories are connected, but each part is its own story.

Oh. Like some of the two parters in series 9 then?

Aye, I think they work better than full on multiple part episodes sometimes.

In fairness I thought the monks were quite creepy and unsettling and the voices were brilliant. But it's a waste if their motives and reasoning aren't made clear

That was a much better episode, I thought, even with the ending that was just a tad loves-saves-but-also-doesn't-save-the-world (tbf, the rest of the series could just be multiple games of "let's see who interrupts Bill's date this week!" and I'd be content)

Next week looks rather interesting too

Loved that. So clever how they made a simple broken pair of glasses lead to that.

Another good episode, I loved the twist on love saves the world, where it in fact dooms the world, lol

So rumours are true and Kris Marshall will become the Doctor this series?

Not really.

Better than last week's, I liked the reversal of the whole 'love overcomes all' trope and the build up to what led to the enzyme's creation and the idea of the Doctor inadvertently causing the surrender was a pretty good twist.

I was getting the hints that the doctor will be dying this series from the episode tbh

Yeah but I'm still not convinced it's Kris Marshall.

But it fits with the leaked story

A scene was edited out of the episode

BBC being squeamish again

mess imagine if that line was on last weeks ep instead :umm2:

Loving this at the moment. Great episode on Saturday! R.

Some great Love Island banter tonight

That was a good episode. Bit of a cop out ending though considering the scale of the story.

So 1984 with a reverse button, then?

A poor attempt at a 2008 Fake Regeneration.

But, my god, the hype and press attention around that one was insane.

Did they really replace Jesus the Redeemer with a monk? :laugh2:

A decent episode, even if the end did kinda use the reset button a little.

I screeched at monk Mona Lisa

I actually really enjoyed that. My expectations were low as I'd read reviews that it was all leading to a bit of anticlimax but I thought the idea of Bill using her imagination with her mum so that they couldn't alter it because it wasn't a memory was quite clever.
