For context: The doctor is stuck in a loop of sorts. He wakes up from a teleport that promptly runs out of power. Hes in a weird fort surrounded by water with thus creature slowly chasing him. He notices weird stuff over multiple days, such as rooms reseting, notes and hints he needs, and even a dry exact copy of his clothing after he evades the monster by jumping into water. He also notices the creature will temporarily stop hunting if he confesses his deepest secrets. Eventually, he notices that the stars are wrong; he knows he hasnt time traveled but the stars show thousands, then millions, then billions of years have passed. He finally makes it to the exit of this strange place only to see his way is blocked by a wall made of a diamond-like substance that is the hardest material in the universe. He then understands whats going on- he breaks his hands punching the wall, gets mortally wounded by the creature (his alien biology slows the process of his death), crawls to the teleporter while leaving notes for himself, and burns up his body as power to boot up the teleporter which has an exact copy of him from when he first teleported in. He materializes in the teleporter as if this is his first time, and repeats. Over billions of years, he chips the wall slowly but surely until it shatters and he is free.

@@OG-ColorfulAbyss. When they say reset in this case it just means everything goes back to where it was at first, not that anything that was damaged somehow magically undamages itself. This is seen in the extra set of clothing that doesn't disappear as well. Honestly my biggest problem with this episode is how he damages the wall. It's a nice story but doesn't actually make any sense.
Ok I have a question. If the doctor came out of the teleporter knowing exactly what is going on and comes straight here day and night, punching for weeks at a time, leaving to sleep and eat when death approches, until he just can't anymore and starts a new cycle, how long might it have taken for him to escape? given we're going from seconds of punching to weeks end to end per cycle, i suspect maybe only a few thousand years or so
The answer is he would never escape because there's no way the soft flesh of your hand is going to do any damage to that wall. It's a classic case of a pretty story being horribly misapplied and everyone just hoping their handwaving will distract from the obvious stupidity of it.
@@Cdaragorn what are you on about of course the wall would be damaged given enough time. he is only getting rid of a fer molocules but doing that over and over again for 4.5 billion years would do something. as well as his extra strength
@Cdaragorn Actually I can explain why this would work for you by pointing to a lot of statues and rock formations IRL, particularly ones that have repeated human physical contact over the course of years. Stone that is walked on repeatedly for decades will begin to wear away, statues that people rub for luck get gradually eroded, stone walls people lean on will become misshapen. This would actually work given a long enough time frame even if all he did was walk up to the wall and start rubbing his hands vigorously against it.
Ill be honest, possibly a controversial take, i didnt really like how clara acted like this all the time, like the doctors a whiny child and hes over exaggerating all the things hes been through, yeah he gets mopey sometimes and needs some tough love to snap him out of it but sometimes she took it too far
You realise this was The Doctor’s brain telling him this to himself, as Clara, to light a fire under him, to keep him going? Like this isn’t the real Clara lmao.

@@BackUp-nx2de didnt like her or rose. rose always came off as an impulsive brat that never listened to the doctor and made things worse most of the time. clara came off as an entitled know it all that constantly challenged him in the wrong ways. amy and rory are the best 2 companions. the black girl I forget the name of was kind of meh. didn't hate her but didn't like her. danna was the same. she was just kind of meh. like a middle aged woman who just went along with things without any real emotion or enjoyment. honestly it was like watching my mom in that situation bad sad instead of funny.

Kind of funny the wall didn't reset too. You'd think his captor would have thought of that if they actually wanted their plan to succeed.

Sounds absolutely terrifying

considering he breaks his hand each time, you're looking at hundreds of thousands of years, possibly millions
@@MorganSaph IIRC, it was mentioned to be about 4.5 Billion years
