    I remember the first time I saw this, and the moment of “oh no it’s a loop”, and the raw power of Peters Speech, of dying over, over, over again just to reach the end and get his friend back.
    It really was a raw exposure of WHO the Doctor is, the one who will face the danger, face the abyss, will face the monsters and not back down, will not flee or break, will face a pile of diamond blocking the way out, not with depression or fear but a determined anger of a refusal to break.
    That is who the doctor is, not someone who just.. sits down and waits to die, not someone who lets grief over come them, but the person who is told “you can’t do this” and replies with “watch me”

      i mean, he kinda did let grief overcome him. After losing rose, donna, amy, rory, etc. this time he went 4.5billion years into the future just to bring clara back. But you're right, he doesn't sit down and wait to die because of this. To quote the zygon speech, "Do you know what you do with all that pain? You hold it tight, until it burns your hand. And you say this: No one else will ever have to live like this, no one else will ever have to feel this pain. Not on my watch."

      @@group2gaming and it’s one of the reasons why 12 was so good, Peter and Matt where both amazing at being able to play the “old” the “age” of the Doctor though, the speech against the parasite god is amazing, just the way Matt let that raw pain into his voice and Peter when he let the sorrow of time and the loss of so many show.
      And even in one of the sarah Jane episodes where Matt was he even mentioned it, “I can’t go back, I can’t look back, but I remember them all”, it’s something that the new doctors need to be able to express, the age and pain that they carry, seeing so many people die, losing so many friends, and failing so many times, but not letting it stop them, they don’t let the grief disable them, they use it, they turn it to anger and they USE IT.
      One of Terry Pratchetts things was “don’t get scared, get angry” which really is an amazing way to face the things that try to threaten and push you down.

      It's largely due to the storylines each Doctor was given. Had Capaldi been the Doctor in S2-4 and Tennant been the Doctor in S8-10 and everyone would have said Capaldi was hands down the best and Tennant was pretty underwhelming in comparison. However, it also means that this episode wouldn't have been nearly as good.

      I can't say he was the best Doctor - after all, Ecclestone stills my favorite and I loved Smith and Tennant, it's a tough dispute - but you could feel he's a truly fan in how he portrayed 12. And interpreting your favorite character must be one of the greatest things an actor can wish.

      I wouldn't say they copied Doctor Who at all.
      Movies take a long time to script, film and do the special effects for. I'm not exactly an expert, but I'd say filming for Doctor Strange was probably over around the time this episode was released. If the director is lucky, the filming for a movie of the caliber of Doctor Strange would take about fourteen weeks. So I highly doubt this episode had any influence on how Doctor Strange ended. It's just one of those coincidences that happen around the same time.

      The filming for Heaven Sent began on June 24th 2015 with the episode first airing on BBC One on November 28th 2015. Doctor Strange began principal photography on November 4th 2015 in Nepal before moving to the United Kingdom, and concluded in New York City on April 3rd 2016. You don't need to be an expert, just gotta know how to google. I personally don't like how they used the entire movie to hint at the time stone and make it the deus ex machina of solving his problems, he deserved better than that and i hope he gets it whenever he pops up next.

    OK, so, I worked this out while trying to get some sleep a day or two ago.
    A mountain is usually a roughly conical shape, with a circular base.
    A comfortable hiking pace is around 4kmh, assuming reasonable fitness and terrain.
    So if it takes 1h to go around it, the circumference must be roughly 4km.
    Lets assume that the summit of the mountain is roughly in the centre of that conical shape. This makes it around c.630 meters away in a horizontal line (Radius= Circumference/2π)
    Normally this would take c.10 minutes to walk; but, of course, it takes an hour to climb it.
    Hikers often recon an extra minute for roughly every 10m you climb, so given that there are around 50 extra minutes to account for, the mountain must be roughly 500m tall from its base.
    Long story short, the volume of the mountain would be around 200,000 m3.
    Assuming- say- that the bird removes 1mm3 every hundred years, it would have to return roughly 200 trillion times.
    The mountain would therefore be chisled away in roughly 20 quadrillion years (i.e. 20,000,000,000,000,000 years) which is in the order of 1.5 million times the age of the universe.

    What I love about this - beyond the genius of the concept & plotting - is that you can hear Capaldi get more emotional each time the loop resets. It peaks around the 2 million years mark, as if he's realising the futility of his task and perhaps thinking of quitting. Then he slowly gets more cocky & self-assured as he goes further and can see the dent he's making in the wall. That's a) incredible attention to detail and b) incredibly perceptive from Capaldi to pick up on it in the script.

      Well, that's the thing, though. A lot of specific things were not, or could not have been put there by the Doctor. I think that maybe the First Doctor was in there for an inordinate amount of time, at least, compared to later iterations. He could have been biding his time, because he had plenty of inconsequential secrets to flit out. At that point, it would then become full time about devising a plan, and putting the proper pieces in place. And leaving no more clues than were absolutely necessary, to evade notice by any intelligent being who might be monitoring the simulation.
      Then, most iterations were pretty quick, one and done. Though I imagine some clues were added over time, simply by the nature of the clues themselves seeming... odd.
      Of course, this is assuming the first Doctor even managed to get this far. It could have been much further down the line that all of Doc's previous attempts started to leave after-effects in the loops.

Upon finally meeting the success of his persistence he ended the quote by saying “Personally, I think that’s one hell of a bird”. He stayed true to his commitment of seeing Clara again, if even for just a brief time. He endured hell for his companion. This man who was dubbed as “dark and gritty” in the beginning of his series became one of the most earnest, heartwarming, and strongest interpretations of the Doctor I had ever seen.

      In the context of this episode, not the next one, I always interpreted it as the Doctor staying true to himself, not Clara. There is no indication he knows that the Timelords trapped him or that it is only about the hybrid, though he isn't surprised when seeing Galifrey. The whole point was to keep fighting when no one is there to fight for. When everyone you love dies, you have to keep fighting to do what is right and keep fighting just to live even if they can't come back. The episode imo is about the Doctor proving he is the doctor no matter what, no matter how painful it gets, no matter how long or lonely, he has to do what is right. Hellbent kinda ruins all this but in the context of heavensent it is clear that 12 think he can't get Clara back, and the whole point of it is conquering grief and the fear of death that is always there, not cheating death and resurrecting a dead loved one.

    Honestly I think Heaven Sent is one of the best episodes of Dr. Who ever produced. It's one of Capaldi's best epsiodes as well. I don't think any other Doctor could have carried a while episode on their own like this without going wildly out of character. Not onlt does 12 stay in character the whole time, but he shows all of his defining traits as well. His tenacity, wit, intelligence and that deeply-rooted sadness and grief that you can feel right in your soul when you look into his eyes, almost completely without a single " I feel" statement. I know we get that moment when he talking to "Clara" in the TARDIS, about he doesn't see the point in going on without her, (it's why I sadi almost) but that belonged there, it fit the moment and it wasn't just for our benefit, it was 12 convincing himself of a reason to go on living after losing so much. While I may not like Clara, I cant deny the words of 11. He said that the first person a new face sees becomes very dear to him, and Clara was that face for 12. She helped him stand up on his feet after his regeneration, to find himself in the wake of his unprecedented new life cycle. That being said, I do think she should have stayed dead, but that's Moffat for you. He just doesn't know how to kill off characters.

    There was once a once upon a time a shepherd boy whose fame spread far and wide because of the wise answers which he gave to every question. The King of the country heard of it likewise, but did not believe it , and sent for the boy.
    Then he said to him: "If you can give me an answer to three questions which I will ask you, I will look on you as my own child, and you shall dwell with me in my royal palace."
    The boy said: "What are the three questions?"
    The King said: "The first is, how many drops of water are there in the ocean?"
    The shepherd boy answered: "Lord King, if you will have all the rivers on earth dammed up so that not a single drop runs from them into the sea until I have counted it, I will tell you how many drops there are in the sea."
    The king said: "The next question is, how many stars are there in the sky?"
    The shepherd boy said: "Give me a great sheet of white paper," and then he made so many fine points on it with a pen that they could scarcely be seen, and it was all but impossible to count them; any who looked at them would have lost his sight.
    Then he said: "There are as many stars in the sky as there are points on the paper; just count them." But no one was able to do it.
    The King said: "The third question is, *how many seconds of time are there in eternity?"*
    *Then said the shepherd boy: "In Lower Pomerania is the Diamond Mountain, which is two miles high, two miles wide, and two miles deep; every hundred years a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on it, and when the whole mountain is worn away by this, then the first second of eternity will be over."*
    The King said: "You have answered the three questions like a wise man, and shall henceforth dwell with me in my royal palace, and I will regard you as my own child."

      You can even keep a lot of the core elements of Hell Bent as far as the doctor returning to Gallifrey. It could even be about him TRYING to save her with the focus being making the conceptual elements from Heaven Sent real, so that rather than actually saving her he realizes he doesn't need to.

      @@mirandakeith8108 It even contradicts its themes at some points. It makes a point, like The Waters of Mars before it, that the Doctor and other immortal beings are not supposed to travel alone or with each other. They need reminders of what life and death are truly like to not become complacent and jaded, as shown when 4 billion years of killing and resurrecting the Doctor turn him into the biggest threat in the universe.
      And his "karmic punishment" is... to be left alone, and rendered uncapable of learning from the experience because his memory is gone. Also make Clara and Ashildr travel by themselves, as immortals. Sorry, what? Instead of making the doctor realize on his own what he must do, and make him come to terms with Clara's death, they give into cop out and solved the episode by giving him amnesia, and then pretend everything was okay when the ENTIRE POINT of series 9 is to explain why this sort of ending would be terrible. Like, what the fuck. I'm not a part of the Moffatt hate club, but Hell Bent almost feels like he gave up early and just wanted the story done with.

    • @pranavkalra
      @pranavkalra 4 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      @@mega20able I see where you're coming from but I saw it a bit differently. I think Clara sticks around after the Doctor's amnesia to make sure he does realize that the story he's telling is what happened to his memory, and that he does remember what he did right and wrong and grows from it (as we see in S10). I think the idea that the Doctor's power interferes with his ability to come to terms with normal human stuff is a thread that goes through season 9. Instead of the Doctor's immortality making him jaded and complacent, it actually drives him the other way IMO. We see him barely able to contain his disappointment and rage at Ashildr's death, someone who he barely knew, and give in to the power he has and break the rules he sets for himself. When it comes to Clara, "the first face this face saw" those emotions run much deeper. He tries to go through the stages of grief (Denial and Anger in Face the Raven; Anger, Bargaining and Depression in Heaven Sent; Bargaining and Depression in Hell Bent), but again, his cosmic perspective just kind of prevents and breaks that. When most people bargain with loss, they don't actually have the ability to bring people back.
      He's unable to see the simpler way to deal with it until he talks to Clara again, and realizes both the immorality and stupidity of his actions. The only option for him is to lose parts of his memory, which serves as "karmic punishment" and as a way to gain some emotional distance to allow himself to accept her death. The punishment also kind of makes up for Donna, and requires him to continue being the Doctor.
      Letting Clara and Ashildr travel was definitely a bit of a cheat, but I don't personally feel like it cheapens the growth they've been through (and honestly, Ashildr deserves it more than anyone). It's also very typically DW, as I don't think any Nu-Who companion has gotten an ending that was just plain sad and wasn't somewhat hopeful or optimistic. In my head-canon, Clara goes back after one last hurrah of an adventure.

Timelords are very psychic creatures so it's not unreasonable to suggest that given time, he could pick up the thoughts and memories of his former selves.

    This might show that I’m a nerd, but I did the math, and if I’m correct, then the Doctor over the 4.5 billion years he spent in the confession dual, had to repeat every action we see in this episode around maybe... 46 _trillion_ times before he could fully break the wall and escape? I know he probably doesn’t remember any of it, but damn.
    EDIT: never mind, there’s an entire video where somebody calculates how many times the Doctor died in this episode. And I was off by a wide margin, to say the least.

It works on deeper levels, if you can't get that it's your problem, you're welcome to your opinion, but you're outvoted.

    I got into Doctor Who after 11, but watched all of the episodes and specials preceding Capaldi and watched all of Jodi's first season. I convinced my mom to watch after showing her the Zygon Invasion speech. Capaldi was our favorite, if only because of how he commanded every scene. My mom passed away on December 19, 2019, and I still go back to watch the episodes I watched with her and my sister. Never take for granted anything, sometimes life has other plans.

    This is actually based on a true story. A man in India was married to the love of his life. One day she died from an injury that was treatable, but the nearest hospital was 3 days walk around a mountain. The man had nothing after losing his wife, so he gave up everything and started mining a road through the mountainside. 30 years later he had completed his work and now people from his village could walk 4 hours to the same town that used to take 3 days. That is a hell of a bird indeed.
