I wondered the same thing since he put them on after stepping on  Galifrey. Obviously they don’t work to break down crystal walls.

@jphamlore  In my opinion, the confession dial follows a strategy of Steven Moffat to deliberately rewrite parts of the classic series, a precedent so that his successors can also make each run as showrunner their own.

What a lovely, generous idea . . .

What if Ashildr/Me had contacted the Time Lords (via Missy?) and is the one driving all of this

Oh yes! I can see how that would work very well, though I suspect that it would be Missy’s idea, with her as the driving force and Ashildr/Me acting at her instigation.

The anachronisms in The Woman Who Lived suggested that by the…[Read more]

@jphamlore – did he have his sonic sunglasses on him at all? i seem to remember a shot of him in a corridor putting them on or am i mistaken?

It has taken me most of the morning to refresh my memory of yesterday’s discussions and to catch up with all the posts from the night shift. So much food for thought!

@ichabod

He’s accepting what he feels is just punishment for Clara’s death; and it’s hardly enough, because he needs absolute *masses* of expiation if he’s to move beyond the enor…

@jphamlore– yup, that’s what you get for wearing sunglasses indoors…

@jphamlore  If the Doctor gave up all his answers, the Time Lords would be able to use the confession dial to get back to this universe. And that I believe the Doctor is willing to do anything to prevent . . . I suspect that the Doctor will revisit the events of The Day of the Doctor when he reappeared with the other 12 Doctors and add his input t…[Read more]

@CheeseMaster5000

Well in my humble opinion this was something that all happened inside his mind

and if that is the case the Doctor is still roughly the same age.   The crystal wall at the

end of the puzzle wasn’t effected by the rest of his journey getting to it probably

because   whoever it was that put this scheme together probably t…[Read more]

I also like how the Doctor communicated with Clara to find a resolution and

how this episode gave a new meaning to ‘run you clever boy and remember me’.

BBC APPROVED SPOILERS...

@jphamlore  I am sure Moffat did not intend this, but with the extreme suffering depicted that the Doctor underwent for billions of years, for me, the Doctor has paid in full for his actions in The Zygon Inversion. Thank you, Steven Moffat.

I’m not sure what you refer to as apparently blameworthy actions by the Doctor in “Inversion”, partly…[Read more]

@jphamlore  It may be as a defense mechanism to hacking, the Confession Dial is programmed to destroy any invader that does not correctly answer what its contents are. It is possible the Time Lords did not intend to torture the Doctor, or even to learn the nature of the hybrid, things just worked out that way.

Interesting possibility!

@jphamlore the question is: Where is the Eye of Hades now? Is it still in Sam Swift? Did Me take it out of him? Does it even still work?
