Yes, but look. The Doctor knows there are dead bodies there (the sonic readings, the fact they walk outside without helmets, etc). The line is "she's no more dead than you are. Than I am. Than everyone on this station is." It wouldn't makes sense that he meant "including all the bodies" because he know at least a

They ARE dead. That line is misleading, I'll give you that. But the Doctor does read people as dead at the start. He says "lethal dose". His whole plan is that killing them would blow up the station. And no-one else goes out with him in the end. And there are clearly dead people there at the station, so I don't think

With how much I'm anticipating next episode I've come to realise how much I'll miss Moffat writing 6-ish episodes per season. Even when I hate them (Hell Bent), individual scenes are just so good. The ideas are just so good.

I hate it when people just go "plothole!" without even paying attention to the episode.

She became paralysed/unconscious? A dose on electricity is bound to have some effect.

I think the guest characters had a lot of room for expansion (like the water one in series 9, kind of?) and Bill and Nardole's reactions to the situation and their difference could've been really interesting. But I disagree in that I think it really works as-is, too.

The difference I think is that Thin Ice was a great character piece, but the story was kind of secondary and "we've seen this before", though it has it's moments (like the getting info in the dredgers or the "you decide" bit). While this story on paper was kind of meh but it had stakes, character and a good resolution

I feel Knock Knock has only been left alone because of David Suchet. The whole episode was kind of boring and predictable. I actually like Sleep No More better because at least it had fun with itself and the the-Doctor-gets-it-wrong ending and the conceit we're watching the tape saved it for me.

MIND. BLOWN.

"Fear keeps you fast, fast is good"?

They happened as a result of "Utopia" not actually being a thing, iirc.

That's too many years ahead. Maybe it's the time they decide to become downloads. Then they don't need air.

Maybe they're programmed to always have extra energy for movement. I mean it makes sense, imagine if your battery died in the middle of space. The suit could go into emergency mode and use the extra battery to bring you back. Maybe.

Which… sell its oxygen? And kills it's workers when they're no longer worth the air they breath?

Yeah, I completely forgot about those. It seems stupid that he kept those, but whatever.

The rumours were about the BBC wanting a clean slate (and from The Mirror no less).

Just. I don't like that it's not explained but…

The wood-lice saved the woman, maybe as a response to the sound, maybe because she woke them. But to sustain her, they needed energy every a couple of decades. And maybe to sustain themselves.

Maybe she thought he's so used to weird shit that he's started seeing it everywhere. She doesn't really know him that well at this point.

I'd love for it to be the Valeyard.
