When in doubt, go check TV Club Backlog. It looks like Tian has been keeping these up to date.

Yeah, was just doing quick searches to find them, and it apparently just had difficulty finding the episode name when I searched…

There are also links to all Club threads on the story pages on the Guide, so it’s easy to find them when you go in and mark something as completed :slight_smile:

What a fascinating episode, I think the individual plot threads work well, although some are better than others. I’m finding myself tired of Gwen’s domestic problems, it’s starting to feel forced for the sake of drama, and I just want it to end (hopefully next episode). This show has started to make me sympathise with Owen, and I don’t know how to feel about that, he’s starting to feel like a completely different person than in episode 1, yay character development? As for Jack and John, easily the best of the bunch, a very raw story about a man who lost his wife and has to watch his son struggle in a care home, I get it, and I like how Jack relates to him as someone who is also displaced from his own time and lost everything. However, I will be suing the writer of this episode for the whiplash I experienced going from this incredibly emotional scene of this man at the end of his rope, trying to take his own life, to then have to watch Owen getting it on. Watching Jack and John lay it all out, to then having to listen to Owen say the most horrifying thing I’ve ever heard in anything Doctor Who adjacent. Very good episode, but they really should be more tonally aware of scenes with each other.
