Episode Discussion: The Well

I’m sad to say that despite being a bisexual simp I did not find anyone other than Ncuti particularly hot this episode

RTD, you’re a hack!!

There really appears to be a lot of mirroring going on this season. First we have the pantheon in both the devil’s chord and Lux, now Ruby and Belinda both got shot in the episode after. doesn’t feel like coincidence anymore

I love how I’m looking directly at it and I still have no idea what it is. As it should be.

(Also, I spent way too long trying to pause at just the right point to get that image myself, with no success, so props to you for managing it)

Looks a bit like prisoner zero.

I’m still tentatively hoping for Mrs Flood to be like the god of stories or something like that. It won’t completely absolve some of the more Meh writing decisions over the past season or two but it would help

Well then.

Oh, nitpickiest of nitpicks I had this episode: why did The Doctor happen to have the exact same spacesuits in the TARDIS as the platoon had on their ship?

TARDIS is dressing them up as she pleases

I SAID THAT!!! I was so confused by this. I loved how at the end when Aliss left she had the Satan Pit helmet on (or at least looked like)

It obviously didn’t affect my enjoyment of the episode at all but I was like “???”. Oh how I wish it was the orange suit!

I had the same first thought and the same explanation as @Jae

The spacesuits just being in the TARDIS blew right past me; I just assumed they were standard issue for the era, and the wardrobe just has everything in every conceivable colour. Why wouldn’t it?

I was too distracted by Toxic playing over it. Like… RTD, I get it, you were early in recognising that song for the masterpiece it is back in The End Of The World, but why that song in this episode?

On a separate note, can I just say how refreshing it is to have this place to discuss new TV eps! For years now GB was too big, and had too many problems, and Twitter is… Twitter… so its wonderful to have a really lovely place to share/discuss. I don’t think there’s been a place like it!

Agreed. GB became so hostile for me, everyone thinking they’re better than each other, believing their opinion holds more value. It feels well balanced here. Even those who have criticisms or hold negative/different views - everyone is still healthy and constructive towards each other. So cheers to @shauny :gem_stone:

I was only there casually for a while, mainly for leaks, but when I started getting involved regularly I saw a few instances of Transphobia and I reported it, and just got ignored by the mods. Eventually I just outright mentioned it in threads and got told off… Abysmal place.

Best thing about TARDIS Guide is learning that there are indeed Doctor Who fans who actually like Doctor Who

and/or the TARDIS scanned the surrounding area and produced the appropriate clothing (sort of like what the chameleon circuit is supposed to do for the exterior)

I’m so sorry you had to see that…
