May 26, 20178 yr Yes!! They must have found confidence in it again after the last few Capaldi series were utter TURD. I love Capaldi now however with Bill!! Y'all were reet - it wasn't the actor; it was the writing! It's a shame it's all change again with Capaldi growing. His Doctor isn't godlike, it isn't perfect or preaching, it isn't ridiculouly strong, just like Eccleston. Series 6 and 7 are probably my two favourites now, or at least the first half before Amy vanishes. I love the complicated stuff, too. I find the Tennant series, except the more complex Donna episodes, a bore and chore to watch. Plothole, however: in this computer simulation of the WORLD, how was the Doctor blind and how did he remember his recent off-world travels?? How did they know? How did the programme know to make him blind?
May 26, 20178 yr I wouldn't say plothole, more that each simulation is probably representative of that specific time, ensuring that their plans can adapt with any relevant changes.
May 26, 20178 yr Author I just think of it as being similar to a copy and paste, except they did it for people and places :lol: plus if he wasn't blind, he'd probably have picked up on the simulation sooner I guess? As it wouldn't be true to life, he'd suddenly have had his eyesight fixed.
May 26, 20178 yr How would they know he is blind? Ir is a complete secret, so how would that Doctor have becpme blind in the simulation and how would he have had off-world adventures?
May 26, 20178 yr Yes, but how did the simulation doctor, who THEY programmed, know he had an off world adventure and went blind? For them, allll their history is simulated; it makes no difference if he can or can't see in the real world. Plothole.
May 26, 20178 yr Author Yes, but how did the simulation doctor, who THEY programmed, know he had an off world adventure and went blind? For them, allll their history is simulated; it makes no difference if he can or can't see in the real world. Plothole. I assume it was programmed to copy memories and experiences too! A simulation is meant to reflect real life so if they just had a puppet Doctor, Bill and Nardole, it wouldn't be true to life because their past experiences could influence their decisions in the simulation perhaps. If they realised it was a simulation, and of course they did in the end, the simulation becomes pointless and no longer true to life, hence Nardole and Bill vanishing!
May 26, 20178 yr That still makes no sense!! How, how, did it completely mimic real life, secrets and memories? How, how did they do this? If they can do all this they can build a Tardis.
May 27, 20178 yr Regarding all this talk about the ins and outs of the simulation, from about 40 seconds in - x8w95xIdH4o?t=40s
May 27, 20178 yr ok that ending was AMAZING and next week's episode also looks AMAZING!! Full return of Missy *.*
May 27, 20178 yr Author What a cliffhanger!! Certainly easier to follow than last week's as a full episode although I think I preferred last week's overall. Nevertheless, things are building reaaally well for next week's, very excited for that!
May 27, 20178 yr Thoroughly enjoyed that episode and so much easier to follow, can't wait for next weeks episode.
May 27, 20178 yr Very much an episode of two halves, the first half of that was way too dialogue heavy and extremely tedious, I could see the outcome of that 'decision' coming a mile away. The lab part and the final twist was absolutely fantastic though. I'm hoping Moffat to be able to wrap this story up in a great way, it's not always happened :') Edited May 27, 20178 yr by Chez Wombat
May 27, 20178 yr What teem toneet? It is a HUGE plothole though!! I hope you somehow forget your username and password when you log out.
May 27, 20178 yr I hope you somehow forget your username and password when you log out. Bitch shouldn't you be in the shoutbox cryin and bein all desperate debber now I beat you big hoe instead of repeatin crusty ol insult?? Good episode but not as good as last week's! Also, what kind of scientist leaves the container open, then BOTH SETS OF DOORS?? The room ia sealed for a reason and he would have made that journey a thousand times. Closing all hsor things wouldbr second nature, especially the door into the lab.
May 27, 20178 yr Also, how come the Doctor with Time Lord technology, who could heal ANYTHIIING in the past, was unable to cure his vision, but aliens could -- and frm a distance too?

The disparity between the two halves couldn't have been greater.
May 28, 20178 yr Can anyone kindly explain to me why the TARDIS has stopped translating foreign languages? First the Pope's italian last week, now russian.
