Dan and Graham are the only 13 companions who were any good. Ryan basically had negative personality (can you name any moment where he did or said anything interesting) and Yaz's writing undercut Mandip Gil's efforts constantly.

Karvanista was great too, does he count as a companion?

Ryan wasn't given anything to work with.
At the start he had a live blog and was telling the story of the Doctor. That could have been fun, him recording things and commenting on them during events like a 5th Element Chris Rock character, but that was dropped instantly.
He was studying to be a mechanic, and they had him check out any engine or go 'I can try to fix that' none times in my memory.
He had Dyspraxia too, which could have been used to show the disability and how he'd cope and overcome it. But nothing except the bike at the end. Wasn't he riding a motorbike in the ep chasing Lenny Henry, cant remember.

Idris Elba will always be the next doctor until he isn't

The reveal comes, and up pops his face.
Then he grins like a psycho and hes actually the new Master.
Pulls back and hes got Tennant strapped to a table.

The Victorian to1930s mental hospital aesthetic is scary due to the implications on what happens there, which you associate with the Cybermen.

The modern tech versions horror is from stripping of all humanity from you, including your body, voice, even thoughts as your brain is placed into a sterile tin can.

Is there a way to keep Jo Martin's Doctor, but ditch the Timeless Child?

I have to admit when they had their first chat and neither could remember the other, I was assuming it had to be an alternate timeline. So I was a bit disappointed that the explanation wasn't about how there could be two Doctors, but just simple amnesia. (And then the wondering about why a pre-Hartnell Tardis looked like a police box and a non-functional chameleon circuit)

(I did also wonder if the Timeless Child was just a super-nerd's attempt to canon-justify the Morbius Doctors)

Rose Tylers alternate universe.
When she gets trapped there, she seeks out the Doctor of that parallel universe, who has totally different regenerations due to dying in different situations. That Doc manages to get into 13s universe but doesn't realise it.
Hence why 13 couldn't see anything that matched.

The Impossible Planet/Satan Pit one?

Nah, in 13's time.
Don't have the episode to watch, but the planet had red tinged light.
Could be wrong, just looks seen it before.

The alien dimension seen in Spyfall?

Not sure, but I think I found out where I saw it before.

I knew I saw that ridge line before, looks like the one you see here.
Weird how pattern recognition works in the brain.
Could still be wrong though.

Is it just me or is there much less hype around the new episode than for the previous specials? I had to double check tv listings yesterday to make sure it’s this weekend, because I’ve barely seen anything about it.

Virtually no hype, I only knew its going to be on due to this thread.
None of the sci-fi sites I read have anything about it, no puff pieces or such to remind you its still there.

One plot hole that kind of struck me was: did they actually wrap up the problems in 1916?

There's some really confused russian servants pushing a button over and over again listening to Boney M on repeat citing how sexy their priest is, watching futuristic disco ball lights, with several black armoured corpses lying there.

Love how Graham just turns up to a volcano in Bolvia several thousand miles away from Sheffield, dressed like hes going to the shops.
