I am done with getting my heart broken by this show. But here’s an open thread for you all to discuss the most recent episode, if you want to.

“Nothing’s sad till it’s over.” So Steven Moffat has just told us that nothing can ever be sad on his Doctor Who. Because nothing is ever goddamn over.

That mind-blowing moment when the Doctor realizes what’s going on! And the next mind-blowing moment when you realize none of it hangs together!

Nazis: I hate these guys. But I adore this show.

The Doctor and Clara go to Diagon Alley, where Clara gets reckless again.

Doctor Who does found-footage… and it actually works in a way that most found-footage stories don’t even bother with anymore.

I feel like we have finally met Peter Capaldi’s Doctor for the first time. At last.

Just when I’ve lost almost all hope for my show, we get an episode like this one: incredibly good science fiction storytelling, incredibly good Doctor Who.
