or don't?
the multiple timelines or dimensions or whatever arc will culminate in there actually being like ten different Lone Cybermen who all want completely opposing things, and the Doctor(s) must determine which Lone Cyberman is the one Jack was talking about

edit: one lone cyberman from every cyberman type/origin we've seen and then +a couple new ones for flavor

She asks them why they must survive, and they all give very good reasons except for one that simply says,"WE MUZZZZZT!" and that's how she figures out which one is the right one.

I hope either it's something morally awful, like not giving the One Good Cyberman a hug or a treaty or a holiday house or something, or just something really ridiculous, like Bundt Cake. In order to bring attention to the fact that our lives are meaningless and random tangle of interesting arbitrary events. Obviously.

A bundt cake? Pfffft, that's absurd.

(My husband and I were whole hog into EDA books when I adopted my cat in 2003 during the wilderness years, and named him Fitz because I liked the character so much. After 17 years, he responds to his name quite well, so watching an episode where they say "Fitz" all the time would be hilarious, he'd probably meow thru the whole thing.)

Didn't get to watch the new episode until last night. Really sucks that io9 spoiled the big twist in two separate story headlines. (They also spoiled a guest returning in another headline) They probably should have waited at least a week or had the spoilers within one of the 4 stories they put out on the episode.

Fun episode, sad Jack won't be back this season. Curious to see where this season is going, wish they would develop companions a bit more this season but it's still easily better than the Capaldi or late Smith eras.

You can kinda see why the BBC only sent out the episode to reviewers an hour before it aired.

A friend of mine sadly told me that they'd been spoiled on the episode before they got the chance to see it, and they already knew that Captain Jack was back.

That was a great episode. I managed to avoid spoilers, so going ”wait, that’s a familiar voice. Really familiar... holy poo poo, is it...” and thinking that was the Huge Thing... oh man, it was so much fun.

The General from Day of the Doctor appears in Hell Bent so I'd assume that the Time Lords figured their way out of the pocket dimension and that's the Gallifrey we've seen in the show since that point. But then again, we're talking about Doctor Who here so:

So, if we're thinking like an archaeologist (hey, I get to use my undergrad today!) and thinking about the sticker for dating purposes, it would be after Hatnell/first Doctor, right?

Unless the production team said, "gently caress it, we can do what we want!" and it doesn't matter.

But if the lack of sticker placement is accurate, and Doctor Ruth truly did not recognize the term "sonic screwdriver", we're probably placing between Hartnell and Troughton.

Good lord, this is the nerdiest thing I've written in a long while.

Bonus Round: Apparently, one of the meanings of the name "Ruth" is "companion".

Or possibly, if a divergent timeline situation is true, some kind of alternate Hartnell. The timeline forking after the TARDIS gets its iconic shape (the light on top, I believe, would put it as a Hartnell TARDIS) but before the Doctor learns what a Saint John's Ambulance is enough to put it on manually. Because it's too specific a decal, too unlike other police boxes, for the chameleon circuit to have done it itself.

Timing seems a little off on that, it was very late November I think.

He seems to be doing better and is continuing to work in the UK currently, so hopefully that bodes well to him having a bigger part next season.
