That episode had such a high body count, who can say?

I think people can forget just how bloodthirsty RTD can be.

"Eurovision meets Die Hard" is giving me "Voyage of the Damned" energy for some reason.

I did NOT have "Trinity Wells, Supervillain" on my season Bingo card...

That's super helpful, thanks - this article was frustratingly vague.

I watched this late last night - I hadn't really looked at the BTS videos for the other episodes (why the hell would you not just roll it into "Unleashed"?!), but this was pretty entertaining.

Stick around for another cheeky cameo in the “don’t forget to click and subscribe” part, too 🙂

Definitely the highlight.

Goodness, that is hilarious.

Best guess...Mrs. Flood is collecting side-characters from the Gatwa run. Time to do a quick draft!

• The Church on Ruby Road: Davina McCall

• Space Babies: Poppy

• The Devil's Chord: Ringo Starr

• Boom: Mundy Flynn (gotta keep Varada busy)

• 73 Yards: Roger Ap Gwilliam

• Dot & Bubble: Lindy

• Rogue: One of the bird people, I guess

• The Legend of Ruby Sunday: Colonel Chidozie

• Empire of Death: That woman with the imaginary baby

• Joy to the World: The hotel manager

• The Robot Revolution: Alan

• Lux: The kid who worked at the diner

• The Well: Mo

• Lucky Day: Conrad

• The Story & The Engine: The merchant played by Inua Ellams

Extraneous Avengers Assemble!

Okay, I jest in a lot of cases, but I think a few of those are actually potential candidates to reappear...

An interdimensional immigrant using our healthcare (and I’ll bet Mrs Flood doesn’t even pay taxes)!

Conrad's not gonna like that...

It was a BQ riding, not CPC.

I've always assumed (based on nothing, really) that Chibnall preferred the "Last of the Time Lords" gimmick, and took the opportunity to restore it.

And I get it, to an extent. But Moffat had spent a lot of time resolving that and bringing Gallifrey back, and I was looking forward to occasional Time Lord nonsense.

The market looked great, and was shot really well. I absolutely believed they were outdoors in Lagos.

The street in front of the barbershop, on the other hand...that absolutely looked like a soundstage.

The Timeless Child accomplished its goal of opening up a world of storytelling possibilities, should anyone choose to play in that sandbox - and RTD has done so sparingly, but consistently since his return to the franchise.

It's definitely bizarre that Chibnall himself didn't do anything with the idea besides put it out there. But all in all, I'm way madder about him re-destroying Gallifrey than I am about anything to do with the Timeless Child.

Pretty goofy take. As much as the Timeless Child is a "controversial" story, the Fugitive Doctor has been just about as universally-embraced as you can get.

Edit: I should clarify - the article itself is fine. The headline writer definitely tried to milk the "controversy" aspect of things, which...is what headline writers do.
