- Please no spoilers beyond this episode unless you see that later episodes have already been released. In that case, no spoilers beyond those episodes.
- This video is in a watch-along format. This means you'll need your own copy of the episode to watch alongside my reaction. This is in an effort to avoid copyright infringement.
- If you're based in the UK (or using a UK streaming site), here are instructions for how to get your copy to sync with mine.
- The show footage will play for the first 30 seconds with both video and audio. After that, the show footage will be silenced, and the video will be blurred for the remainder of the episode. There is also a count-up timer that begins once the episode has started. These things will hopefully make it easier for you to keep your copy of the episode synced with mine.

Comments
I don't know if this necessarily applies for that scene Bill's mum in this episode, but Stephen Moffat's mum died while he was writing this season. He already had planned that Bill wouldn't know her mother other than the stories inside her head, but he has said in an interview that it really impacted the way he wrote season 10. I'm sure that must have come into play when writing a scene with the companion dealing with her own mortality.

2023-09-02 01:42:39 +0000 UTCI get that part of it, but it was odd to bring it up in this episode the way they did where she yelled at her mom to answer her even though her mom hadn't been mentioned in the episode up to that point. When she just screamed, "Mom," as she thought she was dying, that makes a certain amount of sense, but not the, "He didn't tell me a joke. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Mom, answer me," part. Like, why would she expect her mom to answer her or even say something like that? Unless it serves a larger purpose, it's an odd bit of dialogue.
