Decent episode. Would have been even better if the thing that was happening with the suits was ransomeware

best one so far for me so far, love a base in peril episode and both pearl mackie and Matt Lucas were excellent, I like nardoles development as a character, all in all I'm a happy who bunny at the moment.

So many particulars. So many questions.
funny nardole no, cos he wasn't. Stern nardole weirdly worked. I'd say this and the frost fair are so far contenders for episode of the series

Enjoyed this one a lot, although the cliff hanger was mildly over dramatic

I liked it
Got a Steins;Gate vibe to it with the Cern stuff Some proper illuminati conspiraloon stuff going on until the reveal it was all the goonie monsters doing it.

I need to watch it again. I'm not sure I followed it.

Tho, tbf, I was intensively browsing eBay at the same time, which didn't help.

This series is just getting better as it goes along,I enjoyed the slow burn of this one and badass nardole made me smile and it will be interesting to see where the storyline goes from here, although I must say the grandson found it a bit dull at times but still liked it overall.

it was decent enough for a buit of running around and the bantz. However it made little sense and was pointlessly complex, what with the whole simulation thing. 100% moffat in short. Bring on the chin-balls

If it's an exact simulation of the world...
The real world doesn't contain a book explaining that everything is a simulation... so why does the copy of the world contain it?
Presumably someone realised they wer epart of the Matrix and wrote a bestseller about it.
I'd like to think it was simulant Jeffrey Archer.

Also if you want to let people know this huge truth... why write it in an obscure language that has to be translated?
I've discovered the secret to world peace.
You want me to share it with you?
Okay but only via this interpretive dance piece because I'm a cunt who wouldn't want to make it easy for you.
It works for Jehovah!

So, at what point did the story switch over to the matrix version oof the world and characters?
Thing is this had much more emotional impact when Moffat did the same thing with gangers who were living alongside humans. This was just a bit low stakes - though on paper it shouldn't be. Also not sure that suicide would be the only, or even dominant response.

That's where it lost me.
Not telling us felt like a cheap trick.
I don't think the premise was so esoteric that i couldn't follow it. But it's another Moffat turn.

Somebody figured out the secret. 1000 years ago. Which suggests the simulation has been running for at least 1000 years, at least subjectively.

Re The execution.
When did the doc re-wire it?
It must have been beforehand, if so why bother with that entire priest consultation.
Why bother swearing before pulling the handle? No one had forced him to.
It was all rather contrived for no purpose other than to set up the conditions we found the doctor in.

A thousand years ago someone knew enough about computer simulations to spot a random number generator for what it was? Pre-Babbage.
I think not.

There was a line in the episode about them using the simulations to test the species/planet they were about to invade and something about how they wanted to know if the species could find out they weren't real which I guess was meant to be the explanation as to why the Veritas book existed at all - it is a test.
Aside from the bits with Missy, the whole episode was them in a simulation.
The simulation ran at least 1,000 years of history but the random number generation (RNG) thing was understood by the doctor in the modern time. The ancient suiciders won't have understood the RNG thing but will have been terrified by finding that it worked for them and the veritas book told them they were not real and were simulated, with the RNG thing being the proof.
stupid episode which made no sense, as DC said, 100% moffat. I can live with plot holes (I liked the landlord episode despite them) but this was just bad.
