REACTION | Doctor Who S14 E8 "Empire of Death" | S1 E8 | Thoughts on Ncuti's First Season

This is my reaction and thoughts about the eighth and final episode of Doctor Who season one (or fourteen)!
I'm looking forward to seeing what's next for Ncuti's Doctor, and I hope you'll stick around to see it with me!
I don't currently have any paid membership options like some popular reaction channels have, but if you could leave a like and/or a comment to show your support, I'd really appreciate it!

I suspect some people who are dying later are either on planets that the Doctor HADN'T visited (yet) or had been travelling in space aboard a space ship, thus they are dying from the "Gift of Death" spreading forwards or backwards along their family timeline rather then an Avatar's Storm of Death.

I liked this much more on a second viewing. Kind of ruined the first one hoping constsntly for Susan and Mrs Flood reveals as opposed to what was actually happening on screen. My fave Mel appearence by far. Loved them beating a god with a whistle and a bungee rope. So brilliantly Dr Who in its silliness. And the reunion was so raw and Mrs Flood ending it like that...nice.

I reckon that Mrs Flood is a god of stories and "Absolute Terror" will be the name of Ncuti's final episode in the future.

I still think that scene where Mrs. Flood seemed to not recognize the TARDIS was a misdirect, kind of showing her cheeky side wherein, instead of focusing on the Tardis she's just messing with the neighbor. Because, the Mrs. Flood that we saw in the Church on Ruby Road seemed much different that this Flood, instead of ominous she was just kinda cheeky, kinda silly. Plus there is that line of "I haven't seen one in 60 years and I don't want to see one now!" seemed really odd for her to get up in arms about that she precieved to be a normal police box.

Not sure if you'd be into it, but getting to ride along while you react to all of the 4th Doctor's classic era stories would be very enjoyable.

Was this Dr. Who or Days of our Lives I was watching tonight what the hell was that ending? This is typical RTD I'm getting so fed of kitchen sink dramas I want science fiction and monsters.
