@@HOTD108_ less that the doctor has to be played by a man more that the doctor needed more than just a few pronoun issues for being in a completely foreign body
Everything about this episode is so well done. Don't know where to begin honestly. We need more sci-fi elements like this in the new era. Moffat absolutely cooked with this episode
@@Gafferman I do get the feeling that a lot's been happening between episodes that we haven't been told about... But it really didn't disturb my enjoyment of this episode
Moffat just understands how to write for the Doctor better than anyone. Ncuti fully felt like the Doctor after this episode. I really hope RTD and any other writers this season take note of this episode. This is the Doctor Who that we want!
I'm going to say it and make this very clear, after this episode and how absolutely phenomenal Ncuti is, anyone who says he "can't act" is just flat out, racist. He is absolutely acting his socks off! I cannot praise this man enough. He IS the Doctor!
Moffats way better at one off episodes than being a show runner. His doctors were a serise of "tune in next week to if we maybe do something with this idea" he tried too hard to make the doctor the most important thing in the universe. But when he does one episode that where everything he does has to be concluded by the end. He's great
@@boserboser6870 he also deconstructed that idea and tore the Doctor down multiple times, 11 suffered the biggest defeat he ever suffered at Demons Run and the end of series 6 he is deleting himself from databases and being more of a shadow like figure until much later. 12 is much the same, his big hero stuff becomes less about being a god and just being kind and helping, he uses his reputation to get things done sometimes but he hardly leverages it as much.
@@charlesmento5968 Reminds me of the quote from Interstellar: "Love is the one thing we’re capable of perceiving that Transcends Dimensions of Time and Space.".And altered states of consciousness (with ego-dissolution) that you can experience with meditation and holotropic breathwork.
I still say that, as utterly brilliant as DW was under RTD, there are certain elements Moffat did a million times better. Not everything, some stuff he dropped the ball on, but when he got it right, he REALLY got it right. I’d even go so far as to say that while RTD’s tenure was more far more consistent, the highest peaks of Moffat’s era dwarfed those of his predecessor. There were still missed opportunities, but less than RTD’s era…and he understood the meaning of regeneration a bit better as well.
moffat is better at individual episodes rtd is better at overarching story. moffat tries to go too complex and they payoff never satisfies he needs a one and done to keep it from going off the rails
You have to laugh. Moffat returns after five years with a blatant retread of the famous landmine scene from 'Genesis Of The Daleks' - and his fans are delighted!
This wont be her character. She is returning as another modern earth companion if I’m not mistaken, which is beyond annoying as well. I get they are audience surrogates but change it up every once in a while.

Completely agree, everything about this episode shined. Especially Ncuti’s performance!
Well, a lot of people are saying that the "friendship" between ruby and the doctor is unearned at this point and feels off.

@@ugolomb great writing. "A lot has happened". Honestly it's just a bit awkward.
Just a load of bent crap
The Doctor: I am a timelord. Im the oncoming storm, i am HIM
Soldier: *Anglecin*
When she said that, I was like "Not those idiots again! Didn't they learny anything at Devil's RUn."
Now I understand why Chris Eccleston said, he loves how Moffat was able to understand and write for The Doctor!
Welcome back Doctor who, where the hell have you been
Moffat has it
Loved the recontextualization of everywhere is a beach eventually
Moffat just understands how to write for the Doctor better than anyone. Ncuti fully felt like the Doctor after this episode. I really hope RTD and any other writers this season take note of this episode. This is the Doctor Who that we want!
“Everywhere is a beach eventually “
Every Christmas is last Christmas
“I am higher dimension life form. I am a complex space time event” - Such a badass line 🔥
OH how I MISSED Moffat's skill for dramatic speeches!

😂😂😂
Moffat carried this scene harder than anyone else
"Harry I'm standing on a landmine."
Ncuti seems a much better Doctor under Moffats writing
Ikr I noticed that
Just you wait until the Christmas special
So good
THIS is why I want Moffat in charge. I fully fell in love with Doctor Who, when he took over.

I wouldn't be surprised that the Doctor is actually a Giggle who happens to be a bit different from the others

@@EckyThump69 unless that's really true, remember that the Doctor had his memories erased about his own origins, so not even he knows

That soldier was so irritating and in my opinion can’t act and now I find out they hired her to be a companion. Okay😒
I disagree. I found the whole faith angle really interesting and could be great if they explore it more with her as a companion
This wont be her character. She is returning as another modern earth companion if I’m not mistaken, which is beyond annoying as well. I get they are audience surrogates but change it up every once in a while.
She's no oscar winner, but she's far from a bad actress.
@@ActioJjunkyWe don't know that for sure tho. Yeah it is likely but there's room to hope she'll atleast be from another time on earth.

Lowest ratings in the show's history... This trash won't make it past one season, two tops if the executives push hard enough.
