    Sorry @thane15 I did indeed mean t’other poster.

    I’m still new. I’m learning. x

    @thane15

    Firstly to clarify something- some commenters are describing the episode as playing out in a VR world

    Actually I think it was just me who did that! Sorry! x

    It seems that the scope of the simulation was quite limited. Why include CERN in that simulation? Their relevance in an alien invasion is hard to imagine. 

    As far as I understood…[Read more]

    @doktorvem When it is a “long time ago” in the time line how can it still be the latest docotor? For example during the flashback of “killing” Missy.

    It wasn’t a long time ago in the doctors time-line (it occured not long after River had died) – it just means it was a long time ago in history – for all we know it all took place billions of years…[Read more]

    Hi @Whisht – thank you! Do you know who I thought the portrait looked like? Sophie Winkleman. Big Suze from Peep Show.

    Thanks for the nice welcomes!

    Yes, agreed that the purpose of the simulations is to find (and then test-run) the ideal time to invade.

    This is going to lead to a couple of very interesting episodes I think! The *real* Doctor now knows that at some point they are coming – and when they do, they’ll have already ‘test invaded’ hundreds of different…[Read more]

    Why and how did the Veritas come into being? It seems rather illogical for a villain to create a shadow universe to test taking over the world, only to leave a way to tip the simulations off about the storm coming.” @bendubz11

    They couldn’t not though. It was very briefly covered by the VR Doctor during a quick exchange with the VR Bill towards…[Read more]
