The Fan Show will be back for more next week, so send us your creative bits and bobs from the finale! What did YOU think of The Doctor Falls? Let us know in the comments! ✨
I LOVED it! I applauded at the jelly babies moment. I wish we could time travel forward 6 months to see the Christmas Special. But in the meantime, I can personally look forward to September as it will be 10 years ago since I became a Whovian. And even after all this time, I still can't believe I'm a Whovian.
The first episode was one of the best dr who stories I've seen. But the finale wasn't a scratch! I kinda got lost with it! This was a perfect genesis story of the cybermen with the very creepy 'patients' but you could tell time was limited really, it felt rushed. If only we could have 4 episode runs. But apparently we don't have the attention span. On a lighter note, I will always watch dr who, no matter what. Keep up the good work
Doctor Who I actually cried when amy was there for a second. it was really good though. I wish you could bring amy back for an episode but I know karen gillan won't do that😣
just have to say, Peter Capaldi was incredible tonight, this one will go down in DW history as one of the finest individual performances ever.... and don't get me started about Michelle Gomez, my goodness. Just incredible work from both actors.
Once again Steven Moffat, you nailed it! World enough and time was just a prequel. This was THE episode. Bill’s ending was very suiting, Missy died literally killed by her previous incarnation which I think was on the one hand a shame as she was ready to stand with the Doctor, but on the other hand I think it really suited a character as evil and as paranoid as her/him. And David Bradley at the end was just incredible. I’m not sure I can wait almost 6 months for the Christmas special.
RTD couldn't keep Rose locked away in her "inaccessible parallel universe" without using a "wibbly wobbly timey whimey" loophole to bring her back and give her a happy ending, or follow through on the consequences of Donna remembering her experiences with the Doctor, so that is not just a Moffat era thing.
Heather/Pilot is such badly established character. New Who created another Bad Wolf with Godlike powers. Good thing she wasn't used to resolve the plot. Series 1,3,4 really liked to use trope of bringing actual Deus Ex Machina.
That episode was utterly beautiful! Peter's performance was absolutely incredible! It was just one of millions of examples why he IS THE DOCTOR! Loved The Master/ Missy relationship. The Cybermen were brilliant, hoping to see the Mondasian Cybermen in the future! Bill's story was nicely wrapped up too. Nardole was also well used. AND THAT ENDING!! WOW!! 10/10 tonight. With a 2 Doctor story, and the arrival of the next Doctor... bring on Christmas...
Brilliantly written story for the series 10 finale. The beautiful visuals, captivating cast and witty writing all worked perfectly together and the significant amount of effort which has been placed in to making this story. I loved the references to past Doctor's in previous stories, but this story rounds up the twelfth Doctor outstandingly. Personally, I will miss everything about Capaldi's Doctor as well as the cast and Moffat's role in Doctor Who.
Omg I'm actually crying so much after this episode! My parents were asking me if I was ok! Amazing episode! I don't want anyone to go! Loved it so much!
Although I'm a new Whovian (I've gone back to check out key Classic Who episodes) I just love Capaldi's Doctor the best out of the NuWho series. Watching Bill fly into space, and Nardol stay behind on the colony ship gave me too many feels. Nardol was the Doctor's last connection to River :/
If I watched the episode alone then I might of gotten a tad emotional myself but I had family members that couldn't stop talking so I could hardly hear it properly, let alone get emotional 😢
Michelle Gomez was so incredible as Missy, and her acting with Simm in this episode was breathtaking. In a strange way, I think I was more invested in their story than I was in the Cyber attacks - despite the fact that they did nothing besides argue and self-destruct.
One more thing...The last time the Doctor Stopped/Delayed his regen, The 10th Doctor Basically Destoyed the Console room cause the Regen build up was so Huge..I'm wondering if this Next Regen is gonna be a another huge one with Huge ramifications!
Well done Mr Moffat on your brilliant and thankless job you've done for Doctor Who over the years, Good luck on your future endeavors... Oh and Rachel Talalay " You are one of, if not the best directors for new who well done to all involved
The bad taste of the fan base really annoys me. We had today the BEST episode ever, and what you guys are saying? *Complaining about flying cybermen* The episode was PERFECT.
Fil Bencs yh bills fate was bad. the Master and Missy were amazing on screen and I really liked this finale but they were underused apart from the beginning all they did was stand around and talk they weren't at all needed for the plot.
Fair play Steven, this one was a belter! Outstanding performance from Peter Capaldi and we haven't even reached Christmas yet! THAT ending though....OH! MY! GOD!
WOW! Definitely my favourite finale. I wonder what is going to happen to the Master. Also, my jaw dropped when the 1st Doctor appeared at the end. I can't wait for the Christmas Special!
I dare say this was Moffat's best finale in his run on the show, mainly because for once it genuinely felt like it really payed off. The whole series was like that really, before series 10 I was not at all okay with Capaldi leaving but now I feel like his time has really been worthwhile. Missy's story and character arc came to a satisfying conclusion, Bill's end was perfect (which I really hope the Christmas special doesn't screw up) and even Nardole, a character so many fans were worried about, really proved himself worthy of standing alongside the Doctor and had a genuinely heartfelt exit. I could not be more exited for the Christmas special, and I desperately hope it's as good as we need it to be.
Say what you will about Steven Moffat, he is an incredible man with an incredible brain who has made an incredible impact on Doctor Who and I am so incredibly thankful
Overall this series was amazing and raised the bar back to a consistent high standard - I really enjoyed it! it's great to hear from Rachel and Steven about the making of it. But Bill has to come back!!!! she's the best companion for years!
this episode was amazing! there was the death of missy not saying that is good there was the return of heather which was so surprising and just simply awesome and then I recognised that Peter capaldi acted out part of Matt Smith's regeneration and finally the reveal of the first doctor which literally cry! at the end of this episode I cried for two reasons it was the end of such an amazing series and the second reason was that I had to wait all the way to Christmas to continue watching the best programme ever! All I can say is that this was an amazing episode!
Lewis Smith Nobody hated Bill, they hated the way Bill was wrote. They hated Deus Ex Machina puddles ending, that was so similar to the Cara/Me ending they rhymed.
Honestly I do not know HOW to feel about that finale. I may have to watch it a dozen more times or so to sort through it all, emotion wise. At the end of the day though it was simply amazing.
He did it! That son of a gun finally did it! A finale of the Twelfth Doctor's that wasn't an insult to my intelligence. Okay, Moffat, you just couldn't resist with mixing up Hell Bent and Death in Heaven regarding Bill's fate, could you? But just this once, I'll let that absurdity slide in favour for that brilliant LAST MINUTE! Bravo, Moffat, this was a far worthy conclusive series for our beloved Twelfth Doctor!
everyone has their own opinion and mine is that I loved it! and if you did not like it fine but what I do not like is people being mean or calling others stupid or wrong for having a different opinion.
Brilliant The Fan Show, great interviews and amazing to hear how close to transmission episode 12 was finished and nice reveal that we're going to see the 1st Doctor's Tardis, fantastic!
'I'm the original doctor!' I don't wanna go . he stopped his regeneration for now! Master is still alive and probably fixed his tardis . Missy is dead however I bet u There will be a Timmy Whimmy thing meaning missy never existed and the master is still john simm. creating havoc for the doctor in the chris chin ball era. PLOT HOLE: its funny how Jorje is not in the episode even though he probably would have realised on the computer that the Floors where damaged.
However Susan may return because The Doctor promised "One day I shall come back..." and with all of the references to Susan especially in The Pilot, I think it's very likely she will. It will be a missed opportunity otherwise...
Wonderful episode. So many people are bitter, and there's no pleasing them - this was as perfect as it ever could possibly have been. Will watch this many times again.
To be honest this really wasn't as bad I thought it would be. I'm so happy the thing with the master got resolved but i really which that john Simm was around longer. But when he shot missy, just wow!!!!
It was amazing, I loved the idea of Bill still being a Cyberman even though she sees herself as human, and the reaction was perfect. I loved the death of both Master's (we all know they're gonna find some way to come back, it's their specialty). The Christmas special tease was perfect
Perhaps my favorite visual imagery (and the saddest moment) was the reflection of the fireballs in the Doctor's eye as he lay there dying - having sacrificed himself to save the others and being denied even the stars...
6:19 "I don't know why the handles are there, they're just something I did and they seem to have stuck." Amazing that such an iconic design was just a random idea.
Love the Quantum Leap reference form Stephen there. I got the feeling that Christel's "hmm" translated to "I have no idea what you are referencing there" :-D
exactly my hope, I hope she is the very final master and simm regenerates into someone else so in the end the master did stand with the doctor, or at least tried to
Legit freakout this episode I cried and I screamed a lot I'm so sad yet sooo excited yet angry and I don't want him to go I can't wait for the Christmas special. Thanks for the ride Moffat and to the future!
I am a certified Moffat sceptic. He can't let go of characters, the plots are complicated etc. But I have to admit. This episode was phenomenal. It was complex, yet easy to follow. Dark and humorous and most of all intriguing. Why isn't he regenerating? What happens to the master? Are they going to kiss themselves? lol The dialog was beautifully crafted and on point for every character. The acting was phenomenal and the imagary..... This is my favorite episode this season and probably also with moffat.
The best finale ever even if my doctor was matt smith this had me in tears during the last sequence and missy's deed was without hope without witness without reward truly saddening BUT. any time I see a finale done so brilliantly I would say someone pulled a moffat Love from, India.
The use of the number 507 even explains the 11th Doctor's answer to Clyde's question about regeneration in "Death of the Doctor" in The Sarah Jane Adventures!
Great finale Moffat you did really did a good job. It really would of be funny to see the Master regenerate into Missy so there was two of them. Amazing how the Doctor managed to hold in his regeneration energy almost like you need the Toilet but somehow you keep it and goes away
Beautiful episode, I'm without words! I think the Master had a different short purpose (not an actual evil one, which was a bit disappointing for me), but it was still a brilliant purpose nevertheless, if not one of the best. They basically went full War Games on Bill and Nardole's departures in a nice way that Moffat only knows (for people who just wanted a death scene with no afterwards - it would've been too raw and cold, deal with it!). And I see what Moffat did with Missy, it's actually groundbreaking for the Master character. And the references and the Doctor's speech and him giving up on change! Amazing stuff, really! Can't wait for the Christmas episode and THE ORIGINAL Doctor (come on, David Bradley is brilliant as the First Doctor!)
I'm surprised at the negative response this episode is getting. I did love this one. This is definately my favourite Capaldi season and favourite Moffat finale. Yes I thought that the first 15 minutes was kind of "meh", I think the Mondasian Cybermen shouldn't have shot lasers out their heads (should have used the fog-light guns from the Tenth Planet), and the return of Heather was a bit strange (although was infinitely better than Clara's departure). But the rest of the episode more than made up for it for me. It's not perfect, but these small problems don't detract from the good parts so I'd still give this finale a 10/10
Love me some Rachel Talalay she's been a pleasure for all the finales so far! SOunds like she's gonna be doing the christmas special or at the least involved in some way so that adds yet another reason to be excited for the special. Probably be her last unless Chibs(thats what im gonna call him now thanks Moffs) wants her back too time will tell
Bill cannot die because we want an happy episode - so why kill of the Master/Missy and leave Nardole to a fate where one day he will have to fight the Cybermen alone?
It never occurred to me that "The Doctor Falls " is almost like a western and almost reminds me of the film " Logan" especially the way the Doctor saves the kids and goes after the Cybermen. The whole Missy/Master plot was brilliant and moving. The Doctor's look reminded me of Jon Pertwee's look as well. Nardole's ending was nice but I would have liked more closure with it. Bill's ending was great and beautiful as well. All in All this was an emotional and exciting finale. It was a perfect finale in my opinion.
anyone figure out the transition shot Rachel is talking about @ 8:45? Is it a height thing? Is Pearl "above" a cyberman (the camera sort of moves down a bit on the transition)
So the guy in the cyberman suit is stretching his arm to the specific spot so it looks like Bills hand, and then as the camera pans to the hand, Pearl moves out of frame and the guy in cyberman suit is literally standing behind her so it looks like they're the same this was because he was being blocked by her hair
Steven Moffat will be truly missed as show runner, no one has mad us laugh, cry and have so many feels as the lovely Mr Moffat. The finally was definitely a hard hitter and felt like the end of an era. Bye bye Bill and Heather, enjoy your journey. Thanks for another awesome episode of the Doctor Who After Show.
I quite like heather. I really don't want the doctor to become a girl (not sexist, I'm a girl) and it was all ok, I wasn't really crying, until the montage of all the companions came and there was Amy. then the started saying matt smith's regeneration lines😭😭I know it's hard for me to judge, being born a week after the first reboot episode , but for me,Matt Smith was the golden age of doctor who

Doctor Who btw I love you christel you're an amazing person
Doctor Who I didn't like the 10th Doctor not wanting to regenerate but with twelve it feels better.
just have to say, Peter Capaldi was incredible tonight, this one will go down in DW history as one of the finest individual performances ever.... and don't get me started about Michelle Gomez, my goodness. Just incredible work from both actors.
VinylCollector James: agreed. hard act to follow.
I think Peter and Michelle are probably the best actors doctor who has had and probably will ever have, we were so spoilt 🥺
What a brilliant episode! Of course, the vocal minority that is the Moffat haters will be out on full spin, just try to ignore them.
"Ahahahaha... AHAHAHAHAHAHA"
-The Master 2017
CreepsoPlays that was 10/10
That scene of the Master laughing as the lift descends made everything worth it.
So, the rest of it was rubbish?
The worst thing is the doctor will never know that Missy betrayed the master to stand with the doctor😰
Don't worry, somebody will bring the Master back. They always do. *sighs*
Toby Howard yes!!! real tragedy... this is how you get me teary
"Virtue is only virtue in extremis"

The Master is the Kenny McCormick of the Whoniverse.
{Or "The O.G. Kenny McCormick", as the kidzes say these days.} 😉
A very solid ending in my opinion, I actually choked up both at Nardole's goodbye and the Doctor's unwillingness to regenerate.
the companions saying doctor was a call back to Davisons and Tom Bakers Regeneration!
Sean ME and Missy dying was a reference to Logopolis and Tom Baker's regeneration!
Razamataz Productions some finale
And Tom Baker
Wingy Media I'm a subscriber oioi
Sean ME I think you mean Tom Baker's, where it had clips of friends and enemies saying "Doctor." Davidson just had companions repeating sentences.
Once again Steven Moffat, you nailed it! World enough and time was just a prequel. This was THE episode. Bill’s ending was very suiting, Missy died literally killed by her previous incarnation which I think was on the one hand a shame as she was ready to stand with the Doctor, but on the other hand I think it really suited a character as evil and as paranoid as her/him. And David Bradley at the end was just incredible. I’m not sure I can wait almost 6 months for the Christmas special.
It was perfect until Heather showed up.
Heather isn't a bad character, it's what she DID that I don't like. It's like Moffat has a hard time doing anything permanently bad to characters....
RTD couldn't keep Rose locked away in her "inaccessible parallel universe" without using a "wibbly wobbly timey whimey" loophole to bring her back and give her a happy ending, or follow through on the consequences of Donna remembering her experiences with the Doctor, so that is not just a Moffat era thing.
Heather/Pilot is such badly established character. New Who created another Bad Wolf with Godlike powers. Good thing she wasn't used to resolve the plot. Series 1,3,4 really liked to use trope of bringing actual Deus Ex Machina.
What about the number of times Moffat pressed a huge red reset button? Once, was far too many! But, he kept doing it!
That mister/missy scene where they "killed" each other was jaw dropping
That episode was utterly beautiful! Peter's performance was absolutely incredible! It was just one of millions of examples why he IS THE DOCTOR! Loved The Master/ Missy relationship. The Cybermen were brilliant, hoping to see the Mondasian Cybermen in the future! Bill's story was nicely wrapped up too. Nardole was also well used. AND THAT ENDING!! WOW!! 10/10 tonight.

me and you both I was legit freaking out OMG!
Chibi Who Don't worry, you're not alone. I can't stop crying, I'm not even trying to stop crying anymore😢😭. I love Peter Capaldi's Doctor ❤️
Although I'm a new Whovian (I've gone back to check out key Classic Who episodes) I just love Capaldi's Doctor the best out of the NuWho series. Watching Bill fly into space, and Nardol stay behind on the colony ship gave me too many feels. Nardol was the Doctor's last connection to River :/
If I watched the episode alone then I might of gotten a tad emotional myself but I had family members that couldn't stop talking so I could hardly hear it properly, let alone get emotional 😢
Shirley Ann I feel so bad for you, that happened to me in Face the Raven and Clara was always my favourite companion...
Michelle Gomez was so incredible as Missy, and her acting with Simm in this episode was breathtaking. In a strange way, I think I was more invested in their story than I was in the Cyber attacks - despite the fact that they did nothing besides argue and self-destruct.
One more thing...The last time the Doctor Stopped/Delayed his regen, The 10th Doctor Basically Destoyed the Console room cause the Regen build up was so Huge..I'm wondering if this Next Regen is gonna be a another huge one with Huge ramifications!
Wow wow wow excellent episode missy turned good in the end so sad she was killed
wout vermeulen it was awesome as was the whole series.... Christmas looks to be well worth the wait......
In the Sarah Jane Adventures episode Death to the Doctor (part 2), the Eleventh Doctor claims he can regenerate 507 times.
Well done Mr Moffat on your brilliant and thankless job you've done for Doctor Who over the years, Good luck on your future endeavors... Oh and Rachel Talalay " You are one of, if not the best directors for new who well done to all involved
The bad taste of the fan base really annoys me. We had today the BEST episode ever, and what you guys are saying?
*Complaining about flying cybermen*
The episode was PERFECT.
i actually liked the episode. But John Simm and Missy were wasted in my opinion.
The tactical Shark
How? The "Hahahahahahaha scene" was PERFECT. My only complain about the episode was Bill's fate.
Or, you know, people have different opinions? Shocker I know.
Fil Bencs yh bills fate was bad. the Master and Missy were amazing on screen and I really liked this finale but they were underused apart from the beginning all they did was stand around and talk they weren't at all needed for the plot.
DanFilmsLtd.
No, that's really bad taste. The episode was a show of good writing and actuations. Hell Bent was bad, this was a MASTERpiece.
Fair play Steven, this one was a belter! Outstanding performance from Peter Capaldi and we haven't even reached Christmas yet! THAT ending though....OH! MY! GOD!
OMG that was so good. The best director the show has had directing something from the best writer the show has ever had
WOW! Definitely my favourite finale. I wonder what is going to happen to the Master. Also, my jaw dropped when the 1st Doctor appeared at the end. I can't wait for the Christmas Special!

I could not be more exited for the Christmas special, and I desperately hope it's as good as we need it to be.
I have no words to explain what I'm feeling right now. True to Moffat's style, it was a bit all over the place, but I loved it!
They literally had an extra year than normal and finished it a week before the series ends.
how cool to hear from the original Cyberman designer!!
'it's an optimistic show'. Steven, you killed off Missy without letting the doctor know she chose him!
this episode was amazing...i can't believe the doctor REFUSED regeneration
Jack Campbell ikr
Peter Capaldi days good bye in the Christmas special :-)
Same like there is NO WAY I can wait like 6 months for Christmas!!!
Next time: David Bradley plays William Hartnell plays The First Doctor.
Adventures In Time And Space. I saw that on UA-cam about a year ago.
The episode was sooooooo amazing! I cried so much and such I nice ending for bill.
This was such an amazing finale!!! I'm lost for words
Thank you Fan Show once again for showing my artwork :) Love you guys!
Say what you will about Steven Moffat, he is an incredible man with an incredible brain who has made an incredible impact on Doctor Who and I am so incredibly thankful
For me the retro cybermen are even scarier than the modern ones. And it still haunts me that Bill ended up like that.
Overall this series was amazing and raised the bar back to a consistent high standard - I really enjoyed it! it's great to hear from Rachel and Steven about the making of it. But Bill has to come back!!!! she's the best companion for years!
this episode was amazing! there was the death of missy not saying that is good there was the return of heather which was so surprising and just simply awesome and then I recognised that Peter capaldi acted out part of Matt Smith's regeneration and finally the reveal of the first doctor which literally cry! at the end of this episode I cried for two reasons it was the end of such an amazing series and the second reason was that I had to wait all the way to Christmas to continue watching the best programme ever! All I can say is that this was an amazing episode!
I don't see the problem with someone like bill on the show, so what if she fancies puddles? It's 2017 accept it
Lewis Smith Nobody hated Bill, they hated the way Bill was wrote. They hated Deus Ex Machina puddles ending, that was so similar to the Cara/Me ending they rhymed.
Going to miss Michelle Gomez as Missy. She was just amazing.
Unpredictable, funny and brilliant at dancing to alarms and daleks!
I like how big she is on Lighting. She understands it as a tool and knows how to use it to full potential. It's quite a nice rarity...
Honestly I do not know HOW to feel about that finale. I may have to watch it a dozen more times or so to sort through it all, emotion wise. At the end of the day though it was simply amazing.
I cried my eyes out. Fantastic Episode. Peter was fabulous!!
the 12th episode was really a tear jerker.. got me crying 5 times. gonna miss these current characters
He did it! That son of a gun finally did it! A finale of the Twelfth Doctor's that wasn't an insult to my intelligence. Okay, Moffat, you just couldn't resist with mixing up Hell Bent and Death in Heaven regarding Bill's fate, could you? But just this once, I'll let that absurdity slide in favour for that brilliant LAST MINUTE! Bravo, Moffat, this was a far worthy conclusive series for our beloved Twelfth Doctor!
the episode was AMAZING!!!!! I loved it so much!!
It was a worse letdown than Hell Bent
everyone has their own opinion and mine is that I loved it! and if you did not like it fine but what I do not like is people being mean or calling others stupid or wrong for having a different opinion.
thank you Steven Moffat for such an amazing brilliant finale'.... hurry up Christmas! That was bloody brilliant
Brilliant The Fan Show, great interviews and amazing to hear how close to transmission episode 12 was finished and nice reveal that we're going to see the 1st Doctor's Tardis, fantastic!
'I'm the original doctor!' I don't wanna go . he stopped his regeneration for now! Master is still alive and probably fixed his tardis . Missy is dead however I bet u There will be a Timmy Whimmy thing meaning missy never existed and the master is still john simm. creating havoc for the doctor in the chris chin ball era. PLOT HOLE: its funny how Jorje is not in the episode even though he probably would have realised on the computer that the Floors where damaged.
I'm waiting for the Suzan to make a cameo and babara
Susan and Barbara won't show up because they weren't in The Tenth Planet. Ben and Polly might show up though!
However Susan may return because The Doctor promised "One day I shall come back..." and with all of the references to Susan especially in The Pilot, I think it's very likely she will. It will be a missed opportunity otherwise...
Chirs chinball is gonna make the series good again
Well . he Might be better then Steven Moffat By 42 times. you see what I did there:)
10:21 _"57 academics just punched the air!"_
What an episode. I cried. I've never cried at a TV show.
I cried nonstop for the last 30 mins.
Wonderful episode. So many people are bitter, and there's no pleasing them - this was as perfect as it ever could possibly have been. Will watch this many times again.
To be honest this really wasn't as bad I thought it would be. I'm so happy the thing with the master got resolved but i really which that john Simm was around longer. But when he shot missy, just wow!!!!
It was amazing, I loved the idea of Bill still being a Cyberman even though she sees herself as human, and the reaction was perfect. I loved the death of both Master's (we all know they're gonna find some way to come back, it's their specialty). The Christmas special tease was perfect
I CANT WAIT 6 MONTHS CAN WE HAVE AN EXTRA EPISODE
soooooo well done!! I loved this episode - especially the ending. What a great lead-in to the Christmas episode.
Loved the finale! Amazing work, @StevenMoffatt! #DoctorWhoForever! #Regeneration! #SDCC
The ending of the episode reminded me of a journeys end how everyone leaves the doctor whether by choice or by force
Perhaps my favorite visual imagery (and the saddest moment) was the reflection of the fireballs in the Doctor's eye as he lay there dying - having sacrificed himself to save the others and being denied even the stars...
At the last 10 minutes I just cried and cried. God this was so amazing! One of my favourite episodes and finals.
After this episode the meaing of the word "narcissism" takes on a whole other level.
Suicide too.
Nah, Trump already did that. They're just trying to keep up.
Imagine Trump at Madame Tussauds.
OMG!!!!! Best episode EVER
*worst
Akaakaaka ak. That's you're opinion and I respect that.
+Akaakaaka ak You've replied with the same thing on every comment saying this was the best episode, so do everyone a favour and get a life.
M E AGREED!!
6:19 "I don't know why the handles are there, they're just something I did and they seem to have stuck." Amazing that such an iconic design was just a random idea.
This finale was perfect, can't wait for the Christmas special omg the nostalgia! Doctor!!
I'm crying and can't stop... Moffat broke my tiny little heart
Thank you, Mr. Moffat for the wonderful memories! You will be missed.
Love the Quantum Leap reference form Stephen there. I got the feeling that Christel's "hmm" translated to "I have no idea what you are referencing there" :-D
Has The Doctor ever stopped premature regeneration by putting his glowing bits in ice before?
wish we seen the master regeneration scene.
Sean ME its left open intentially so we don't know if Missy is next
Evan Hughes suppose so hope she's not
exactly my hope, I hope she is the very final master and simm regenerates into someone else so in the end the master did stand with the doctor, or at least tried to
yeah that's what will probably happen but what I want to happen is simm regenerates into someone else who's not missy
Legit freakout this episode I cried and I screamed a lot I'm so sad yet sooo excited yet angry and I don't want him to go I can't wait for the Christmas special. Thanks for the ride Moffat and to the future!
That scene of the past companions left a nostalgic crater in my heart. I almost shed a tear when I saw Amy.
I am a certified Moffat sceptic. He can't let go of characters, the plots are complicated etc. But I have to admit. This episode was phenomenal. It was complex, yet easy to follow. Dark and humorous and most of all intriguing. Why isn't he regenerating? What happens to the master? Are they going to kiss themselves? lol The dialog was beautifully crafted and on point for every character. The acting was phenomenal and the imagary..... This is my favorite episode this season and probably also with moffat.
loved all the episode. couldn't be more perfect!
Stephen Moffat is a genius next to chibnall
first doctor Is back!
The best finale ever even if my doctor was matt smith this had me in tears during the last sequence and missy's deed was without hope without witness without reward truly saddening BUT. any time I see a finale done so brilliantly I would say someone pulled a moffat
Love from,
India.
The use of the number 507 even explains the 11th Doctor's answer to Clyde's question about regeneration in "Death of the Doctor" in The Sarah Jane Adventures!
Rachel Talalay seems like a genuinely nice person and is clearly a super talented director
WE HAVE BEEN ROBBED. I need to hear Peter say "Don't forget to subscribe to the official Doctor Who UA-cam Channel".
Loved all the nod to do previous doctors. I'm not just _a_ doctor, I'm _the_ doctor!
I'm glad that Bill got the Happy Ending she wanted..with the Girl she wanted!
I think this is my favorite Doctor Who finale ever. That was fantastic!
I think it's good that they made the fan show because it gets all ur questions and thoughts like if u aggre
Great finale Moffat you did really did a good job. It really would of be funny to see the Master regenerate into Missy so there was two of them. Amazing how the Doctor managed to hold in his regeneration energy almost like you need the Toilet but somehow you keep it and goes away
David Bradley as The First Doctor, can't wait
Beautiful episode, I'm without words! I think the Master had a different short purpose (not an actual evil one, which was a bit disappointing for me), but it was still a brilliant purpose nevertheless, if not one of the best. They basically went full War Games on Bill and Nardole's departures in a nice way that Moffat only knows (for people who just wanted a death scene with no afterwards - it would've been too raw and cold, deal with it!). And I see what Moffat did with Missy, it's actually groundbreaking for the Master character. And the references and the Doctor's speech and him giving up on change! Amazing stuff, really! Can't wait for the Christmas episode and THE ORIGINAL Doctor (come on, David Bradley is brilliant as the First Doctor!)
I'm surprised at the negative response this episode is getting. I did love this one. This is definately my favourite Capaldi season and favourite Moffat finale.
Yes I thought that the first 15 minutes was kind of "meh", I think the Mondasian Cybermen shouldn't have shot lasers out their heads (should have used the fog-light guns from the Tenth Planet), and the return of Heather was a bit strange (although was infinitely better than Clara's departure).
But the rest of the episode more than made up for it for me. It's not perfect, but these small problems don't detract from the good parts so I'd still give this finale a 10/10
Great episode! But did anyone else think Bill's exit was much too similar to Clara's?
Love me some Rachel Talalay she's been a pleasure for all the finales so far! SOunds like she's gonna be doing the christmas special or at the least involved in some way so that adds yet another reason to be excited for the special. Probably be her last unless Chibs(thats what im gonna call him now thanks Moffs) wants her back too time will tell
ABSOLUTLY AMAZING!
Bill cannot die because we want an happy episode - so why kill of the Master/Missy and leave Nardole to a fate where one day he will have to fight the Cybermen alone?
I was not expecting what happened in this episode how shocked and surprised I was.
BEST EPISODE EVER!!!
*WORST
Akaakaaka ak
LOL, get out, your bad taste annoys me.
are you going to spam everywhere?.

Me?
Aside from Bill's Watery friend's appearance, and the uncertainty of the Master (I want more John Simm!), I thought this was well done
It never occurred to me that "The Doctor Falls " is almost like a western and almost reminds me of the film " Logan" especially the way the Doctor saves the kids and goes after the Cybermen. The whole Missy/Master plot was brilliant and moving. The Doctor's look reminded me of Jon Pertwee's look as well. Nardole's ending was nice but I would have liked more closure with it. Bill's ending was great and beautiful as well. All in All this was an emotional and exciting finale. It was a perfect finale in my opinion.
anyone figure out the transition shot Rachel is talking about @ 8:45? Is it a height thing? Is Pearl "above" a cyberman (the camera sort of moves down a bit on the transition)
So the guy in the cyberman suit is stretching his arm to the specific spot so it looks like Bills hand, and then as the camera pans to the hand, Pearl moves out of frame and the guy in cyberman suit is literally standing behind her so it looks like they're the same this was because he was being blocked by her hair
Thanks for not making the episode bad :)
Steven Moffat will be truly missed as show runner, no one has mad us laugh, cry and have so many feels as the lovely Mr Moffat. The finally was definitely a hard hitter and felt like the end of an era. Bye bye Bill and Heather, enjoy your journey. Thanks for another awesome episode of the Doctor Who After Show.
I quite like heather. I really don't want the doctor to become a girl (not sexist, I'm a girl) and it was all ok, I wasn't really crying, until the montage of all the companions came and there was Amy. then the started saying matt smith's regeneration lines😭😭I know it's hard for me to judge, being born a week after the first reboot episode , but for me,Matt Smith was the golden age of doctor who
Nostalgia generally does that. It's like that with Pokemon, everyone's first generation is their favorite.
Did anyone else notice Luke's hair.... loving it.......
Rachel is such an inspired director!
"We can do that practically."
Well that was wonderful. Peter was dynamite!
Thanks for posting!
