    Honestly the most unsettling and uncanny valley episode I’ve seen since I was younger watching Midnight, I had horrible chills when the fake doctor was just looking motionlessly at Donna and said “My arms are too long” UGH CHILLS.

      It's hard to explain, but RTD is the master of making those things that give you nightmares that don't sound like they should be scary but are.
      Like when you're a child and you're just weirdly scared of a random inanimate object at your gran's house for some reason.

      ​​@@CCFONESOLPeople like you always complain about the left bringing politics into everything and yet it's all you talk about. Do you really think people are trying to pretend Newton was white? Or does it make more sense that the actor wanted a go at playing Newton and the colour of their skin didn't prevent that. It's a fictional world mate, make up some headcannon like maybe the timelines are all weird and Newton is a different ethnicity because of it. Like seriously, theres bigger things to be angry about. Be angry at your bills and the politicians that make them so high. For the sake of your own mental health.

      It just creates less of a headache for everyone if you just keep the historical characters as they were when they were around. If they were black get a black actor in, if they were white, get a white one in. Its so easy and I think the fact its so easy is the thing that people are getting annoyed about.

    I was so happy to see Wilf at the end. It's been over a year since he passed, but I'm overjoyed that he was able to come back for this, with all the whimsy and emotion of his prior performances too. I think we'll miss him a whole lot, but if this is gonna be his last role, I think we can say he went out with a bang.

      I knew she was going to be saved, but that didn't stop me from empathising with the situation. She essentially thought the Doctor had just killed her in favour of some fake creature version of her, on an adventure she didn't even want to be on. It was horrible to watch.

      I quite liked Star Beast - it felt like a great middle ground, there was so much to be done - the mystery about why 10 returned, incorporating aspects of 14’s personality, providing a way to get Donna out of the corner they’d written her into. IMO that the episode came out as great as it did is fantastically impressive.

But Oh! I remember. Half of it was destroyed because of the doctor. They were stood where the flux ripped through time.

That and being at the edge of creation with aliens from absolute nothing coming into form shaped emotionally by what they've absorbed from the Universe. RTD you are coming back strong. I need the 3rd special now! Also, that ending though, from a huge smile on my face for seeing Donna's grand, Wilfred, to WTF is going down. I like that, I really do.

      This episode was really spectacular. It was perfect. It's also amazing that Tenant's 14th Doctor doesn't feel exactly like his portrayal of the 10th Doctor. There are certainly elements in there, but the 14th does feel more mature. The 14th Doctor has learned to express his emotions more. In many ways, I can see some influence from Peter Capaldi's Doctor in there.

    Ranking up there with “Blink”, “Amy’s Choice”, and even “The Empty Child”/“The Doctor Dances” for me. This episode offered the kind of mystery that I had hoped Jodie Whittaker would have been able to experience during her time as the Doctor.
    I’m stunned by the incredible work of the art and puppeteering teams here as well. I was almost certain the robot was CGI, and I’m glad it was not. Practical effects like that and the doors on the walls that the Doctor and Donna end up getting spun around by are so much more convincing than CGI will ever be.

    Episodes like this is why we started watching in the first place. I love these two together. Nearly had a stroke when the real Donna was left behind, but had a feeling the Doctor would figure it out. And he did! It was scary, suspenseful , funny and left you on the edge of your seat. More like this please and thank you! âĪ

I KNEW the moment the Doctor entered the room silently and squatted down in a weird way. Something was off. But then David’s big eyes made me question my initial suspicions. The moment they switched to the other room, I knew something was up. Fantastic episode. Can’t wait to rewatch lol

    The no-thing with their too long arms and how they moved and ended up squished in the hallway visually gave me strong Ghibli vibes. I'm not keen for body horror but the abstractness and Ghibli vibes made it watchable for me.
    Jimbo was awesome! Brave, not so little, robot. I wanted to give him a good repair job to get rid of all the rusty spots. Poor thing! But he fulfilled his duty marvelously.
    It's good to see that the vibes of "Midnight" brought up again. The no-things trying to copy humanoids physically and down to their memories seemed just like a different approach to what the Midnight Creature did by trying to copy,,ng their consciousness into a humanoid.
    And it's also wonderful to see quite some familiar faces from behind the scenes again, like Dan Hargraves.

    This episode was so awesome. I love episodes that leave it up to the cast to carry it because DW has such a great cast and they ALWAYS kill it.
    I also love the concept of taking away everything, and i mean everything, that makes the Doctor powerful. Obviously the TARDIS and the Sonic took off so hes left with his greatest weapon which is of course his mind... and he literally cant use it because it gives his enemy power. Genius.

    Loved this episode. Though people keep saying it's "unlike any Doctor Who episode or TV episode". I disagree. This reminded me of Midnight (in a good way). This episode felt like Midnight meets the 2016 film Passengers. And any story involving imposters like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Secret Invasion, etc. In fact, it reminded me of a lot of Doctor Who episodes involving landing in spooky mostly empty ships and places (The Girl in the Fireplace, 42, Silence in the Library, Under the Lake, Sleep No More, Heaven Sent, Smile, Oxygen, World Enough & Time, etc). This one was just particularly interesting.
    Come to think of it, this would have made a really cool Capaldi episode.
