From a few pages back, but this isn't quite right. They're a religion that has dedicated itself to finding a way to kill anything. They're less executioners and more people with too much time on their hands sitting down to think "okay, how could we actually kill a Time Lord?..."
Drowning works surprisingly well, as it kills the current incarnation and interrupts the Regeneration sequence

Can we all just appreciate for a moment that Doctor Who just took a shot at Donald J. Trump?
By putting the Doctor in the role of Trump and having everyone ignore his advice and die horribly?

Typical Harness episode, and even Moffat's writing doesn't hide the stupidity

Granted, the Whoniverse seems to have its own bizarre alternate presidents, so who knows what's happening over in Eagleland

There also seemed to be some pretty confused stuff about consent going on, as if the author was a bit baffled as to what consent actually is. Which wouldn't surprise me.
Still better than Kill the Moon though.

The other thing is that Bill isn't aware of regeneration or the Doctor's past lives. For all she knows, the lab explosion will kill The Doctor for good.
Full-body incineration probably would kill the Doctor for good, as there wouldn't be anything left to Regenerate

haven't the other doctors mostly stuck to one outfit except for special occasions? like 11 and 10 each had one suit each, or did i just not pay much attention to their clothes.
Ten eventually changed from a brown suit to a blue one and Eleven went from brown waistcoat to purple

At least we were spared these


Shame they didn't go with this outfit though


Meanwhile, Nine is the one with the least costume changes

Hayley and Zoe are really, really on the ball. Young and hungry to create amazing work. The volume of stuff they've done over the last few episodes is mind bending. It was hard in the art dept; I don't know how they managed.

Really strong Half Life 2 vibes from this which makes me really wish I'd done it, as I'm pretty sure our 71 year old designer has never played it, and would have been great to really run with that.

Moffat looks back on "Blink"

Steven Moffat posted:

Despite the deafening applause right now for Bill Potts and Missy, I do seem to be under a fair amount of attack for my female characters - come back and save me, Lynda Day - and while there’s no probably no smoke without fire, can I put my head on the block and say I think I wrote Sally rather well? The line “sad is happy for deep people” may be a bit (as in very) smartarse, but it sums her up perfectly. The slightly detached, melancholy girl, in love with the past - forgive me, but I do think I nailed that.

I enjoyed Blink back when I watched it during my initial Doctor Who marathon a few years ago
Watched it again last year after having caught up and still enjoyed it

Briggsy's Ninth Doctor impression isn't very good. It's really adenoidal, and he leans way too hard on the goofy.
It's just Nine going through a phase

He'll be right as rain once it passes

Then you reach that awkward moment when you finally get used to the impression, then you hear the original and you have a second where you go "Huh, that sounds off..." before the realization dawns on you
