i was like, WHAT, how did the Doctor end up here?

misdirection! it WAS the Master they were gonna execute

POPE BENEDICT. LOVELY GIRL.

‘probably not as strict as mine’ hahaa. ‘some poor terrified man’‘pfew’ ‘yeah pfew’

BILL’S FACE WHEN SHE HEARS THE TARDIS VWORP IN TEH DISTANCE AHAHAHA

Bill: reassures probably recovering christian/catholic wlw that she’s got nothing to feel guilty about

Pope: storms into the room screaming shit

Bill to the priests: ‘you’re all going to hell’LSFJLKDFLDJSFLKAAHAHAHAHAHA

DID RIVER JUST SAVE MISSY’S LIFE???

so the ‘without hope, without witness, without reward’ were river’s words??? ohhhh

i like how the cardinal keeps translating but - the Doctor already understands? lol. he’s just repeating the same thing to his ears.

god michelle gomez is good. i love missy. and that plea seemed so sincere and insincere at teh same time

Bill’s reaction is so real tho - jump scare scared me too (that priest is fit tho)

my question is - why pick Bill up even.

oh wow. THAT WAS A GREAT TWIST. THAT WAS AMAZING (didnt pause once to write about it). anybody can be the Doctor.

you can always do something inside a computer, even if you’re just a jumped up little subroutine:  email. ahahaha

so the veritas only exists in a shadow world. an anomaly in an otherwise perfect simulation (somehow not eliminated by its masters...)

THIS WAS SUPER WELL DONE!!! THIS WAS SUPER WELL DONE!!!

and love how they played with the Doctor’s blindness here. Do feel like ....uh realistically there would be more sophisticated aids out there than what he cobbled together from his sonic sunglasses (though those are AWESOME).

what do you want from me?

the truth

don’t be unreasonable

LOLLLL

i love bill and i love nardole such sensible companions

I WOULD BE NARDOLE - okay then! back to the TARDIS! same nardole! that would be me!!

but yeah good point 4 ppl are still alive we could try and save em

OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH “unlicensed oxygen will be automatically expelled to keep prices competative” OH MY GODDDD THAT’S AMAZING

wait was this the episode that fucked up like kerblam? or ? the opposite? because that sentence alone is fucking phenomenal

Nardole actually has a great dynamic with Bill and the Doctor

the conclusion is gonna be that their employers tried to kill them, right?

NO!!!! i loved blueskinperson!!!

oh god. Bill and the Doctor (it won’t be good) (he didn’t tell me a joke)

i THINK. that as long as she stays on the inside, she won’t actually die. her central nervous system is simply disabled?

ok so somehow the battery was too low for a lethal dose but just?????? painted some black on her temple and disabled her brains or what? but the implication was that she wasn’t breathing

that deus ex machina could have been snappier

it coagulated into full cybermen suits????? HOW

they really did away with the scariest part of the cybermen. the awful transformation..... (NIGHTMARE)

but i guess you can’t keep doing that or whatever

anyway, worst part of Danny is uhhhh how he’s set up as a rival for the Doctor. HATE that.

do it once - with Mickey - whatever. do it twice - WHY. Edit: do it thrice (Rory) UGH

anyway, ya can’t just manifest a digital copy in a physical space without explaining it (looking at the end of this episode).

if the matrix slice was breaking down - that’s DEFINITELY something that the Doctor could have fixed!

anyway - i was reading the article on the first time the Doctor meets the actual Clara - and it’s SO full of twists, and it’s brilliant but it’s also so UNSATISFYING.

Devon is annoying but Dutch keeps him in check so everything’s alright. (really? he insists on her calling him a badass? i just... i do not understand the appeal of a face like that combined with a cockiness like that)

This was a great ep with some different perspectives like... the Company really is truly fucking evil. 

Dutch and co. killed the sugarpoint people -whether Rio’s or the scavs - like it was a great thing but these were the battered sickened remains of a social movement and innocent civilians incincerated and then ground down into the rot by an organisation exploiting the whole system.
