You can’t tell me that robot doesn’t make you think of Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. At one point when explaining a time-paradox issue to Belinda, The Doctor mentioned “timey wimey” and she very reasonably responded a tad offended with a “What am I 6?” It’s fair, it’s a bit childish, but it fits so well, thank you Tennant-era Doctor Who for the gift that keeps on giving.

I do have one concern with the way this episode started. Within the first 5 minutes The Doctor accidentally shuts off all the power to a hospital when trying to scan a computer monitor with his Sonic Screwdriver. I understand hospitals have uninterruptable power supplies and generators hooked up to all essential machines so that people don’t die in power outages, however in real life a computer malfunction at a front desk can’t cause a whole hospital’s power to go out, so there’s a chance The Doctor could have killed a few people. Not that he hasn’t cause the deaths of people before both inadvertently and on purpose, but still…yikes.

Overall it’s great though. I’m happy to have more Doctor Who and more Ncuti. Hopefully the rumors I’ve heard about some kind of reboot at the end of the season is either untrue or doesn’t involve recasting Ncuti Gatwa because his run has only just started and I like him a lot. Overall I’d rate this at 8 stars, it was a good episode.
