Kill the moon required a lot of suspension of disbelief. A LOT.

And don't forget, there was no reason for the Monks to leave after the Doctor saved the world, they could just wait for the next disaster, or even give it a little nudge….

Well, she was right. The Doctor did defeat them.

That is everyone's retort to this. Ghostbusters 2 wasn't great, but the fact it wasn't terrible led many people to hope that a third attempt would recapture the magic of the first.

Maybe the point was poorly defined, but I'd argue this is a really well written episode, not a perfect one as there are plot holes (they happen even in the best of stories), but it holds up well.

Bill did it mainly to save the Doctor. Maybe there wasn't enough strategy there to kill her.

Yeah, regeneration is for when a timelord is dying. An explosion wouldn't leave much of a window.

Yes, but could your wife possibly defeat the Japanese after the attack?
She has faith in the Doctor as the ONLY person who could defeat the Monks.

Actually, the Monks say that the consent-giver HAS to know what it is they're consenting to.
I think she was in a bind though, she had to save the Doctor. With him dead, the Monks had free rein to enact any plan B they wished to enslave the world. (Although, yes, it was also done for the love of her friend).

It's a narrative indulgence, just imagine he's spent the last day and a half snorting cocaine, emailing his family and shagging his way around his colleagues.

Thanks, I thought it was Dollhouse, but I wasn't sure and didn't want to get told off!

That was a fun serial.

About Capaldi's acting: I once read about how Eliza Dushku worked with a blind person to depict a non-sighted woman in an episode of something (I don't recall what), they found that it wasn't very clear she her character couldn't see and they had to really play it up to make it obvious.
Capaldi has to do three things…

Always.

As opposed to the crook with exactly zero government experience.

I haven't minded the pace so far but I really want to know what's in there.

He's there for the stakes. And to amp up the threat of the vault dweller. Plus, he's comic relief. REALLY good comic relief.

Trump is president. I honestly don't think any speculative fiction will ever outdo that.

I had to skip to the end of this review as I disagreed with the very first sentence. This was a masterclass in pacing, action and stakes. I wouldn't change a thing.

I was judging by my nephew who started at 18. I started in my early 20's so I always figured I was a late starter.
