@thebatgames  I have not watched this one for awhile so I can’t answer your great questions except to say that it is all wibbley- wobbley,  timey-wimey. But thanks for giving me a reason for a rewatch.

@thebatgames  Hi !  Welcome the the site. I agree with @thane15 that the Doctor was showing the Atraxi what he wanted them to see. If you want someone to take you serious you show them all your best stuff. I really love this episode and our introduction to the 11th Doctor.
