FULL LENGTH Reaction

Ben

Fun fact, the skulls used in this episode were modelled on Peter Capaldi's own skull!

Daniel King

I love this episode, the doctors worst but Capaldi's best

Mark Ten

I was really looking forward to Angela's reaction to this one! By the way, that's not his black "magician" outfit from the end of Deep Breath. Its a red velvet jacket (reminiscent of the Third Doctor who was a bit of a dandy). Peter doesnt remember the previous times in the castle until he faces the diamond wall and realizes what "bird" means, what he was telling himself and that when he remembers doing this all before. Thats why he rants in his "mind Tardis" about losing.

The single greatest Doctor Who episode. Masterpiece. An incredible acting masterclass from Peter, remarkable writing and vision from Moffat, arguably Rachel Talalay’s finest work on the show, and Murray Gold's most evocative score.

Sloane Lysbeth

yay, finally my favourite ever episode!

How i wish we had double doctor who wednesday

Mark Ten

They used the facial casts that they use to create Peter's makeup prosthetics to model his skull. The transition at 32:12 when Peter places a skull on the parapet which transitions into Peter's actual face and it looks like the skull has morphed into his head. Its not an accident, the brilliant Rachel Talalay is giving you a visual foreshadowing of the truth.

To me, this is the best episode of Doctor Who (including Classic Who). This is when 12 became MY Doctor. Capaldi’s range and arc thru season 8 into season 9 is really a great long game and how he grows as his time as the Doctor. As others have said, the score is magnificent from Murray Gold from the old western harmonica used throughout the score and the building crescendo in 3/4 like a waltz in those last 15 minutes. As you see the Doctor repeat over and over for over 4.7 Billion years to break down the wall. Rachel Talalay directed the Season 9 two part finale and directs the season 9 two part finale. Her episodes visually are a big step up. Moffat’s script is just perfect. And Capaldi. A master class where it’s basically a one man show for the whole episode. Whenever he is in the TARDIS, he’s in his “mind palace” (hello Sherlock) slowing his thinking down to figure out how to escape the current predicament and is talking to a Clara part from habit and part from knowing she isn’t there really. And I love the speech he keeps saying until he breaks out. “It's actually from a fairytale. The Shepherd Boy by the Brothers Grimm. "There’s this emperor, and he asks the shepherd’s boy how many seconds in eternity. And the shepherd’s boy says, ‘There’s this mountain of pure diamond. It takes an hour to climb it and an hour to go around it, and every hundred years a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on the diamond mountain. And when the entire mountain is chiseled away, the first second of eternity will have passed.’ You may think that’s a hell of a long time. Personally, I think that’s a hell of a bird." This, his Zygon War speech to when his anger from Clara dying. So much amazing stuff.

I appreciate how emotionally affected you were by the story, but when you reflect on the performance here by Peter, you may realise why this is considered one of the best dr who episodes of all time. I have seen this many times and I never cease to be moved by that final montage, showing just how much the dr cared for Clara and also how guilty he feels for letting her fly so close to the sun so to speak. The writing, combined with direction, Peter’s acting and Murray Golds music, never fails to move me each time I see this episode.

I upgraded my membership tier just for this cuz I bought this episode to do the full length reaction with others. Twenty stars, no notes. Best Doctor Who episode ever, consistently rated #1 in fan polls since 2015. And now we're on Gallifrey...

Jason

Weird thing with the mind palace is Moffat dreamt it up for the Doctor first, there is an old convention video from Matt's time where Moffat talks about the exact scenario in this episode, the Doctor jumps from a window and by the time he has hit the water he has worked out in his head how to survive it. He then used the idea years later in Sherlock as the 'mind palace', then finally it got used for what he dreamed it up for in the first place, the Doctor.

Jeremy B

I've just watched the full reaction with the episodes and got chills again as I always do when watching this masterpiece. It's incredible how Peter carries this whole episode so magnificently on his own. To answer your specific questions - yes, those are the Doctor's skulls in the water. When he says, "That’s when I remember. Always then. Always exactly then." it's the moment when he remembers all the other times he's been round the castle, dying and re-emerging from the transporter. It's the thought of having to do that again and again that makes him so broken in that moment. All the scenes in the TARDIS are purely his imagination at moments of peril while he's still in the castle - like falling from the window or facing the monster. He says: "There’s a storm room in your mind - lock the door and think! I always imagine I’m back in my TARDIS. Showing off. Telling you how I escaped. Making you laugh. That’s what I’m doing right now. I’m falling, Clara. I’m dying. And I’m going to explain to you how I survived - and I can’t wait to hear what I say." The length of time he gives for how long he's there in total is "well over 2 billion years."

We have reached Peak Capaldi. Yes, that's Gallifrey. And now, another LONG week to wait for the final episode of the season... I remember when I was watching Justsoshayla's Doctor Who reactions. She watched the final 3 episodes of this season back to back in a single sitting. She was an absolute emotional wreck by the end of it.

John

In an interview once, talking about his late mother, Andrew Garfield said that grief is all the love we had for someone that we didn't get to express. That's my favorite definition of grief. https://youtu.be/u5P4hjw8bPg?si=q-AFxIG8OQYUu2Jh

Purple Dragon Knight

Fortunately, he never remembers. It's the first time for him each time. He only figures it out at the end when he gets to the wall. Best episode ever!

Michael Jones

I just adore this magnificent episode. Peter Capaldi carried this episode so beautifully, acting the hell out of this amazing script. Rachel Talalay’s direction is fabulous. And Murray Gold’s music… I could spend billions of years and never do it justice. The piece over the loop at the end is called “The Shepherd’s Boy”. It starts simple, then loops, and each time it loops, more instruments join, getting more complex and majestic each time. Everyone in this episode is operating at the top of their game.

Steven

If it hasn't clicked, the Tardis scenes are in the Doctor's head, the "store room in [his] mind", so he can think clearly and talk to Clara

Jack Mingle

"I'm the Doctor, I'm going to find you, and I will never ever stop." And he never did.

Lycanlux

2nd highest rated episode of Doctor Who after Blink we finally got their, an absolutely incredibly written episode and my 2nd fav episode (My 1st is Waters of Mars), I just can't get over the writing being this good and Capaldi putting on an acting masterclass, We now get to the big finale and there is mixed review however I think the ending will make up for it regardless of how you feel atleast I hope. Still loving the reactions and never stop being you

vaughn DeGeer

We all deal with grief differently but self torture can be a common side effect, remember the confession dial missy had

vaughn DeGeer

More loop than paradox, Peter’s outfits were a nod to the third doctor mostly the most James Bond sort of doctor

vaughn DeGeer

Never apologize for feeling, and this is an episode that shows how Peter elevates the material he is given

vaughn DeGeer

As you can guess he’s a tad miffed

vaughn DeGeer

For a cleanse series try watching the green wing it is a short two series delightfully insane comedy

Carl Wilson

This episode. I think it's incredible as a metaphor for grief, but I'm not sure I agree that it's as great an episode as some say, just because I never really understood what literal sense it made. Great drama should do both. I don't understand what confession dials are. I thought they were just supposed to be the Time Lord equivalent of a will. What's it really supposed to be? How does it get turned into this torture chamber? How can the Doctor not recognize it as such and do something less insane to fix it? I haven't watched for a long time, but I don't remember it ever being properly explained. That's the big flaw in Moffat, cool ideas that are just whole fistfuls of loose ends. That said: What *Peter does here may well be not only the greatest single performance in a Doctor Who episode, but one of the best ever on TV.

Ben

Except he does remember. He said in one of the tardis scenes "But I can remember, Clara. You don’t understand, I can remember it all. Every time!".

MaxValPlatt

Well, I just speculate here, but we know that Timelords can save consciousness of dying Timelord in Gallifreyan Matrix. Missy used a mere piece of that Matrix to save all dying humans in some sort of the afterlife before reuploading them into Cybermen. And she was able to do it while still being alive and corporeal, so, for all purposes, Matrix can also be used by teleported living Timelords. So, I guess, confession dials are used as some sort of "soul" flashdrive - they can safely hold consciousness of dead timelord allowing someone to pick it up later and upload it into the Matrix. I suppose that in this episode Timelords heavily modified Doctor's confession dial, repurposing it as a torture chamber.

Purple Dragon Knight

Thanks, I actually missed that. I thought he was talking about Carla dying but I think you're right. But in my head cannon he does not remember until that moment. Just before he enters the Tardis/mindspace you can see the look on his face that he figures it all out. Now I can say "remembers" instead of "figures it out"

Alkaris

How many seconds to an eternity.

Literaltruth

The debate is really whether this or "Blink" are the best episodes of Modern Who....maybe with Midnight in the conversation.

Christina Kopecky

The timelords I think re-engineered the confession dial to be a torture chamber -- so in 12's case, they perversed the meaning. And the Doctor didn't really define the confession dial as a will and testament -- they said it was the closest thing we have that was kinda similar. The supposed "Meditation" they went on at the beginning of Season 9 would have been a better use for the confession dial. As it is meant to be a purification of sorts before you die. And he expected to die on Skaro.

Christina Kopecky

I remember watching this when it first aired. I turned to my partner and I was like..."wth we just watch???" I had to watch it again. And again. And even what...12 years later? I'm still finding things I didn't notice the first couple times. Last time it was a soup spoon that was deliberately shot like it was two takes -- I was like whoa...they gave us all sorts of hints that he was in an energy loop. Fun facts: Moffat said if The Doctor were to turn over the Clara painting, there would have been some answers that would have been a shortcut to solving the confession dial. But he didn't want to because he didn't want to forget Clara's face. Moffat originally planned for Weeping Angels in this episode in a haunted house, but then decided on The Veil in a puzzle box castle instead. Heaven Sent's spiritual predecessor is The Deadly Assassin, a classic Who serial during the Tom Baker era which was the last companionless episode. Moffat pitched an early version of this story to Big Finish for the 8th Doctor. The grief metaphor comes from the idea that "I have to keep going...it's the circle of life. . . just gotta keep going. Because if I stop moving I'm gonna feel all the pain." Very reminiscent of high functional depression (which I've been diagnosed with). The bedroom is put there to allow him to reminisce for however long he wants to take a catnap for and allow himself to feel the feels. Then we get to Clara in the Mind TARDIS and she encourages him to fight to WIN. Then we get OUR Doctor back to smash the puzzle and through the wall after billions of years to work through the grief. This Doctor sure did have a special connection with Clara.
