Maybe she still can't, to people who aren't dead.

There's quite a bunch in Spotify, I'd try some there.

That's what I meant hehe.

This gives me hope for the future.

I really don't see it, and I'm trying to think of an example. It's especially not true between season 9/10 Capaldi and season 7b Smith, but even considering the other end, I don't see the episodes going much differently, other than some personalities differences. Like I can see Eleven going "I'm sorry" or whatever for

Exactly what you say, his past and memories, things he's learned, his values and core beliefs, his way of processing the world around him, his way of reacting to conflict, his attitude towards his companions, his sense of independence and adventure, etc, etc, etc. It's always the same. And this is the thing about

Maybe while on Gallifrey after it returns, or even Karn, he gets himself fixed, and that's why he's more subdued this time round. Maybe he doesn't even have the drums.

To me, it's pretty clearly the same character with different personalities. And part of this can be explained like this: if one writes a rough outline on an episode, with detail but not too much, it's not hard to imagine any other Doctor playing the exact same role in it (even if you include in your outline, say,

But look at it this way… was there any reason not to? He was clearly having a gas while doing it.

I think the original three-parter was pretty damn good, outside of the resolution which is one of the few I've replaced in my head with headcannon as part of the "what the hell were they thinking" section of DW.

They were "on reverse thrust".

Probably quite a while longer that it seemed for the people upstairs. But that's difficult to determine.

The first Doctor's era is particularly different from anything that came after though.

You know, I actually had the same thought during the episode. Particularly because we also have the Doctor using his psychic abilities.

I think the fact that he says he's "worried about his future" has very much to do with the plot point in question.

I realised quite early, and it felt to me like how it would have felt on a rewatch. I knew who he was and I was trying to figure out if there were any early hints and what his plan might be. I was entertained.

According to Nardole, it's been "ten minutes" when they finally get into the elevator. That translates into ten years (I think I've heard) on the last floor.

Because "the Doctor falls" followed by "no more" would be a great throwback to the 50th.

And his anger at having grown old playing a fool. Just great.

It was easier to lie to Bill and leave her complacent. If she had known the truth she wouldv'e made a ruckus and would probably be led to be converted too early. They plan was that the Doctor was going to finally come down… and he would be just moments too late, to up the despair. But of course, this was going to
