While also initially delighted by the coda (Bill makes the rest of humanity worth putting up with), on reflection and in the context of the rest of the episode it seems too honest a sentiment. It should be the Doctor kidding about his feelings regarding humanity in order to tell the truth about his feelings towards…

I believe that would have been Jack "Elliot Carlin" Riley. As a poodle breeder.

Perhaps because despite the way they seemed to be acting when the Doomsday Clock reversed itself, this is actually the scenario they were trying to bring about and it would only work if the Doctor were able to get to the lab and get trapped?

Until next week, when we find out what the Monks actually wanted, I'm not sure we can evaluate what they were up to here. Personally, I found it an absolutely amusing inversion of the traditional Aliens Conquer Earth scenario: people kept trying to surrender to them and they kept refusing to accept it and killing…

The Hungerford massacre was committed by a white man unemployed at the time. Does that mean that a reasonable response to that event would have been to create a behavior bond for the unemployed?

"Have you tried turning your series off and on again?"

These aliens can apparently create a simulation so perfect that simulated beings behave as if they were real, and the duplicates have all the originals' memories (including the Doctor himself).

It's always a huge switch from the classic series when the new series manages to save its best episodes for late in the run.

If I were writing the story, the replacement crew is in cryo and the crew of the ship do clean-up and equipment replacement, then wake up the new crew to clear space for the cargo on the return trip.

They bought the blue makeup in bulk.

The whole Bill thing doesn't work unless the bodies are still there.

Honestly, it's pretty easy to justify most of this: the Company needs to send a ship to pick up the copper every so often, and why send an empty ship when you can send workers out? And as we were told, the suits are pretty stupid, only having a basic problem-solving ability. If something serious were to go wrong on…

"Remember when the Master came back as Missy? That."

Exactly what personality trait is exclusive to men?

Additionally, Shout! Factory doesn't have a platform outside of YouTube to broadcast the new show. They could have funded a pilot, maybe, and then tried to sell it to someone for broadcast, at which point they have to prove on the basis of a cheap one-off that a decades-old show not too different from how it was will…

Just pretend that the new Gypsy is an amalgamation of old Gypsy and Magic Voice.

Pretty sure I was picking up some shades of Pod People's "Good? He's the best!" too.

She just tells the others that the show doesn't have the budget for her to use her powers this episode.

I'm not convinced that Agnes didn't work out the same thing Coulson did about May in the Framework. She gets to survive her own death AND break May out from the inside!

In fairness, given that HE was the one Coulson was talking to at the start of the episode, I can see him being a bit freaked out. He's always had less trust for Coulson and always had this fear of what he can do, and I saw that at work here.
