Episode Discussion: The Well

Nooo!!! I can’t :sob: I wish I had that level of restraint. One of my friends does that to “Withhold tradition” but I simply cannot miss it live.

NOTE FOR PEOPLE WATCHING LIVE: there is an FA Cup match directly before the episode airs, so it may be delayed because of extra time and potentially penalties

We have this issue with The Interstellar Song Contest, the FA Cup final is before it and Eurovision is directly after it. There’s the nightmare scenario that DW is pre-empted because the Cup Final goes long

It is written in law that the FA Cup final has to be on free to air TV iirc, so the Beeb and ITV have it

Well that was excellent!! :grin:

Utterly, utterly loved it!

Just really wished I hadn’t accidentally stumbled across that Midnight rumour… Fantastic sequel though :slightly_smiling_face:

4,5/5 :star: but could very well go up!

I’m not sure I’m convinced by that one. I think it had all the makings of a very good episode, but I’m just not convinced that that’s the same creature at all.

That was fantastic, maybe the best episode of Doctor Who since Village of the Angels.

I will say that it took them all waaay too long to cotton on to the fact that Aliss survived because she is deaf…
I think that’s the only slight niggle I have right now :slightly_smiling_face:

Interesting monster concept but I don’t like it being tied to midnight that closely, if it was same star system like the ood and sensorites maybe, but the fact it acted differently made the midnight inclusion feel pointless

I think the exact opposite. I think it works because it’s behaving differently. The way I see it, this creature wants to play with its food so to speak. The first time it did it by doing the copying thing, this time it did a sort of mind game with whispers and being behind its host. It seems like it wants to make people afraid before it kills them. I think this episode would have been lesser if it just did the same thing again.

As I said in the discord, that was literally just like 45 minutes of me wanting to throw up /pos

Incredibly unsettling for basically every moment. 4.5/5, maybe a 5/5 on rewatch we’ll see
