It'd have made the Doctor's speech about forgiveness and 'ending the cycle' a bit pointless, (not to mention hypocritical) if he wasn't willing to actually put it into practice.

I think that was more or less the point though. In just the same way, who is the Doctor to send those 20 million away, to become another civilisation's problem? To leave them fighting for their lives on an uninhabited world? To ignore them entirely and let them run rampant? Or to simply kill them?

He's just one man, always has been, making decisions that affect thousands of lives. He tends to become a part of events just by being nearby, so he has to do something as ignoring it would be just as potentially damaging.

But from one perspective or another, so is basically every one of the choices he could have made there. So I find it hard to fault him.  

And the preceding double part episode laid down in no uncertain terms that he isn't afraid to bend the rules a little now to do what he thinks is best. So I'd expect more questionable decisions in the future.

But he could have found them a nice world that was untainted by civilization to live on. Geez not like he doesn't have you know a time machine that can go anywhere, and do anything.. They could have all climbed onboard.

Let's do the Time Warp again!

This was way better then last week's episode.

I couldn't bring myself to watch "Sleep and be bored" again..

This week's "Face The Raven" was just so much better.

Oh my Questions:

1. Who did Ashildr make a deal for to get the Doctor?
2. You can pass the death on but not escape it, so does that mean Rigsy will die?
3. Why is this confession dial such a big deal?

I wonder who the alien is?

Preview shows that the Doctor might know who it is...

Interesting.

oh yeah, that episode was a thing

I really enjoyed that episode.

Well that was mostly good.

The best bit was the last 2 minutes. "I am the hybrid." Hey I'm excited.

I can't but hardly wait till next week and how they either conclude this or hit us with a reset button. I just hope this isn't all just whitewashed away so they can have the zany christmas adventure with no lasting memories..

I like Ashildr but feel she has to pay for what she's done. But her character is quite awsome and I do like her.
