That's just Australia still.

Not really… the one in the middle of Russia I'll grant you, but the four in Scandinavia and Spain, for example, the geography is still identical to ours. And there's no dot where India is missing. It's ambiguous at best on that front.

Actually, I think it's alternate-earth plate tectonics. In this universe, when South America and Africa broke apart, West Africa stayed with South America. And India never slammed into Asia, forming the Himalayas. Florida being another geographic feature that was caused by continental rift. Not destruction, just the…

In "Maximum Capacity" Greg and Amethyst basically netflix and chill for 36 hours straight, and Amethyst talks about how she's 'seen [Greg's] junk before'. I mean, it's a kid show foremost, so there's a bit of ambiguity and subtlety. But if you barely noticed the implication in that episode, that Greg and Amethyst had…

Well, we are talking about a show that's never been shy about its sex metaphors. And the Amethyst-Greg thing was heavily implied in the Li'l Butler episode. (Hint: the "Li'l Butler" is Greg's penis.)

Greg and Amethyst are surprised to be found by Steven, hiding behind the shed, whacking the piñata. Man, was this show ever subtle?

I dispute the title of this review if only because at the screener I attended, every joke freaking killed. Including the out-of-nowhere, Something-About-Mary gag. Can't accuse the filmmakers of not knowing their audience on this one.

Maybe his philosophy on guns extends to gardening utensils, now.

I think it's very obvious that his taking them off is meant to signify an epiphany, it's just the weirdness of watching him put them on only moments earlier that rang a bit off for me. It's not Voldemort-hugs-Malfoy bad, but still a bit of a cringe moment for me.

Reason this wasn't an A+ for me: Doctor puts the bloody sonic sunglasses on, only to pull them off, Jurassic-Park style, 31-seconds later.

Considering the nature of this episode is completely unlike any previous Doctor Who episode, I think the argument that it doesn't fit the mould carries little weight. If any episode was going to not explain everything, it's this one.

For what it's worth, I don't think your interpretation is wrong either. I disagree that mine is less elegant, though. I think it plays into the theme of the episode quite nicely – the Doctor is not only struggling to punch through a wall, he is also struggling to remember secrets he hasn't already confessed.

I disagree that it undercuts the whole point of the episode. We get the line (37m50s) that he remembers every incarnation, which allows him to hold onto what he has already confessed so that he knows what to confess in future – at least subconsciously. This adds to the episode's richness in that he is confessing…

I agree that's what he's doing, but I don't think it contradicts anything. Start-of-episode Doctor is the first to confess anything regarding the Hybrid, which he then realises is the confession that is actually being sought. If he is n Doctor, this is what separates him from n-1 Doctor. And once he realises that, he…

I prefer the interpretation that the Doctor is spilling new secrets every time, hence the 'confession dial' becomes an account of every single secret he has held. (At least, up until this point.)

I was almost tempted to write a Top Five Clara's Deaths article, except I can only count four. (The Christmas one was a death that was retconned away with a hasty rewrite.)

Clara was given one of the best companion deaths last week, and this week we get the Doctor spending literally two billion years ruminating on her death. I think this is a spectacularly dignified exit for a character that the show wasn't always that respectful of.

I think this episode was an A anyway, but on the back of last week's it's an easy A+.

Don't power-nap.

It took all of two minutes for the Falcon's onboard computers to make that calculation, though. Presumably the rebellion would have had all the time in the world to calculate the path that would drop them on the other side of the planet. I don't think the "route" objection makes any sense.
