i don't think any time rules were particularly broken here. in father's day all issues happened because rose saved her father who had to die that day. other than that she was allowed to interact with her family just like our current tardis team are. and for yaz's grandmother that was a very difficult and traumatic day, i don't think her memory was holding onto the face of that random for her girl long enough for it to become a problem by the time yaz grew up looking the same. people forget faces of their loved ones even, if they had no opportunity to see it for many years

It's a gorgeous way to honor the episode by re-imagining the show's theme -- and it sounds amazing. If the regular closing theme would have just slammed in as usual, it would have been so jarring, I think.

Such a moving, beautiful episode. In the previous episode the Doctor prays, and in this one the Doctor conducts a wedding ceremony and talks about "something I believe, in my faith". I really appreciate the very different take on religion and faith and belief here. I get the clergy-as-soldiers joke that Moffat was so fond of, and it felt amusing for a few moments, but to me it started to feel over-played as well as an over-simplification of faith and spirituality. Religion gets used to justify violence and that is a perversion of faith. It's nice to recognize that there are other ways of doing faith and religion out there. The Hindu sadhu was looking forward to blessing the inter-faith marriage. The Muslim tradition of the groom giving a gift to the bride (the Mahr). The hand-fasting and henna. It is just a lovely appreciation of culture. And then there is the beautiful cinematography in it! The gorgeous field of poppies and other flowers, the sun glinting through the trigger guard -- the images fill and break your heart. And the music!! One of my favorite ever episodes of DW.

Easily my favorite episode of series 11! I love all the subversions of expectations, especially around the “demons” and their true purpose. Quintessential Doctor Who

An outstanding episode, such a powerful story based in real terror, the 180 in who the demons were, you think it's the aliens but it was Manish and the mobs who have been turned who end up being the demons he faces. Glad you pointed out the music too it's really special in this episode. And thinking about it, what the aliens also show is just how many people die alone, and that may be one of the most upsetting aspects of the episode as well. Just a wonderful episode.

It’s wild to think about what death is truly like for people who live in the Doctor Who universe. At the moment of your death, if you die alone, you are greeted by alien bat demons who mourn your loss, if you wearing a certain type of communication device your consciousness can become a data ghost, which can then be saved to a hard drive, then at the moment right before your death you are immediately zapped into the far future to have your whole life archived by Testimony, and if you died right after meeting the Doctor, your consciousness is then scooped up and plugged into Missy’s Nethersphere. Am I missing anything? 😂
