What did You Think of The Pyramid At The End Of The World?
Now that the seventh episode of series 10 has been aired what did you think? Was it everything you had hoped for or not what you expected.
A 5,000 year-old Pyramid stands at the centre of a war zone, where the Chinese, Russian and American armies are about to clash. There are many problems with that, but the one that intrigues the Doctor is this: there wasn’t a pyramid there yesterday.
The Doctor, Bill and Nardole face an alien invasion unlike any other, and before conquest can begin, these aliens need the consent of the human race…

May 27th, 2017 - 10:19pmGlad to see I’m not the only one who thought it had a 1970’s vibe to it! IMO this is the first episode of the entire 12th. Doctor’s run that actually felt like Doctor Who for once.

May 27th, 2017 - 10:16pmI agree. UNIT would have been a perfect inclusion to this episode but none the less it was a triumph of an episode. This series is going from strength to strength. Dare I say it could be the best one ever???

May 27th, 2017 - 9:59pmPhenomenal. Got some real Pertwee vibes from it. Love to know how much was Harness and Moffat and how they divided it. Needed more Pyramid and could have done with UNIT but absolutely superb

May 27th, 2017 - 9:46pmDefinitely an improvement upon last week’s episode. Just as a side note, it seems like they can’t be bothered to add lights to the TARDIS anymore when its materialising – it just looks like it did in the classic series.

May 27th, 2017 - 9:37pmThis is why I think Doctor Who episodes should be longer like in the classic series. Moffat shows he has lots of ideas and details but I feel like a longer episode duration would do his ideas more justice.
Doctor no more
May 27th, 2017 - 9:21pmMust having been watching a different episode to most people. Thought it was very slow and boring and never got going. Next week looks hopefully better but I won’t get my hopes up just yet. Next week’s regeneration will be a red herring as well.

May 27th, 2017 - 9:09pmI can already tell this 3 parter could easily have been told over 2 episodes. The scenes set in ‘computer land’ last week, could have been heavily reduced, and some of the first half of this episode could have been condensed. The pace of the whole thing would have been massively improved. Not connected but part of the episode nonetheless, the scene where the Doctor is about to tell Bill he’s blind, but doesn’t quite say it, is accompanied by some ridiculously over dramatic music. It was a quiet little scene that actually didn’t need any music, and didn’t sit comfortably with what was happening at that juncture on screen.

May 27th, 2017 - 8:54pmSomething that makes you think deeply with situations that are actually happening now at this moment in time, Doctor Who with relation to Real life

May 27th, 2017 - 8:53pmProbably a red herring, surely the BBC couldn’t be stupid enough to give away such a large spoiler in a next time.

May 27th, 2017 - 8:53pmAnonymous, the monks stop any bad events from occuring, so if it was happening right now, last monday night wouldnt have seen a bomb go off in manchester.
The Temporal Jelly Baby
May 27th, 2017 - 8:51pmThat’s part of what makes it a good episode – I’m not actually totally sure. I’d like to say I’d choose freewill but in the heat of the moment, would I?
This episode has challenged me to question my own ideals and I love that!

May 27th, 2017 - 8:50pmWhos to say it isn’t happening right now?

May 27th, 2017 - 8:47pmActually a very good storyline, quite thought provoking and gives a sort of terrifying idea of what could potentially happen in the real world in the future maybe. But seriously, what WOULD YOU do? Consent to help and get your free will taken away from you OR refuse the help and face the end of existence?
The Temporal Jelly Baby
May 27th, 2017 - 8:47pmCould be a red herring.
The Temporal Jelly Baby
May 27th, 2017 - 8:47pmOh, that’s a shame. I’m loving this 3-part story so far and I hope I shall continue to do so next week. I had looked at an advance review which said that it’s slow in the middle so I was prepared for that and actually found it quite tense. Each to their own though. 🙂

1) The Pyramid at the End of the World
2) Oxygen
3) The Pilot
4) Knock Knock
5) Extremis

Think Episode 8 could top even Episode 7- I LOVE Toby Whithouse’s writing, and the story looks like the best yet!

May 27th, 2017 - 8:44pmHmmmmm…My least favourite episode of this series so far. It wasn’t bad as such, but was a very slow burner. At times I was getting bored watching, I could tell because I wanted to look at my mobile phone whilst watching it. I found it difficult to get gripped by the story until about halfway in. I’m afraid it’s only an okay story in my view 5/10. I don’t even feel gripped by the next time trailer. I’m bored of this mid series story already. It already feels like a story stretched out too much.
Weeping Angel
May 27th, 2017 - 8:43pmI liked this episode. I think the doctor might regenerate next episode because he is in the same place in the next time trailer as where he was regenerating in the season 10 trailer. Also the next time trailer shows bill killing the doctor. That would be a twist.

May 27th, 2017 - 8:42pmI really thought it was better than last weeks, really enjoyed it and not overly complicated
The Temporal Jelly Baby
May 27th, 2017 - 8:42pmA great episode! Tense throughout and I’m loving the Monks. Good music from Murray Gold too (as usual).
Doctor909
May 27th, 2017 - 8:41pmI thought that was great. For an episode where it wasn’t running down corridors from the monsters I thought it was amazing and has probably improved my opinion on last week. The ending I felt only became predictable as it happened and basically made you yell at Bill for making her decision.
