It's pretty cool when you can see the doctors natural resilience. As a time Lord he's actually pretty hard to damage so seeing him shrug off dangerously low levels of oxygen is cool to see.

[@charlesshepherd7521]

There's been other episodes where the doctor has claimed to be able to survive on very little oxygen. Including the ability to go into a special trance to increase this further. Of course... this was classic who... so the trance just looked like overdramatic hyperventilating. But I'd like to think the doctor could do that in this situation to avoid passing out long enough to get the machine working before any of the humans develop brain damage. (Which I believe would happen after about 6 minutes without oxygen based on first aid training I did years ago) So yeah. I'm a nerd. And I'm gonna own it.

[@MatadorMedia]

There's a later episode where he eventually goes blind from lack of oxygen in space because he trades his air to a companion; a really cool nod to his breathing strength.

[@CasualPrince8]

"You're relieved, soldier." is a pretty underrated line. The poor Foretold wasn't a killer, he was a soldier, probably a brave, honorable soldier who fought for wherever it was he came from or whoever it was he was sworn to protect. He never wanted to hurt anyone who didn't deserve it, and the Doctor set him free. And now he can rest easy, believing that he helped win the war he fought in so long ago.

[@DanielAppleton-lr9eq]

He was like an electronic zombie. The Foretold's brain was probably a dust bunny.

[@thomasbedient9191]

This episode, I think reminded us of the kind of Doctor 12 was. He could seem heartless. Could seem distant, uncaring. But was always just appearance. He wasn't using that girl as a bait. He needed her so that HE could take her place. That was the kind of Doctor 12 was. I think, the more I look back, 12 became MY doctor. The Doctor as I felt he should be.

[@S-Fan2006]

Yeah, that might be what the episode was trying to show: PTSD and how some people don’t even know it exists, the Foretold symbolises PTSD, when it killed people and no one else could see it, that symbolised ignorance, and the ending, where everyone can see it symbolises awareness, think about it. You can’t run away from the Foretold, just like how you can’t run from PTSD, and the people’s deaths represent the higher chance of a person killing themselves from PTSD, and the Foretold’s freedom represents getting help from others on how to stop it.

For me it was when he saved Clara from them droids. " *his theme starts to play* HELLO, HELLO! Rubbish robots from the dawn of time!"

Formative 3D Yeah, that was a pretty damn impressive moment. For a second in that episode, you're with Clara hoping he's there. And just before you think he isn't, BOOM! "Hello, rubbish robots from the dawn of time!" But this scene is his first genuinely heroic moment. You almost see it in his face, like a switch being clicked. He decides, 'No. No more. It's my turn' and takes a chance. Add to that a creepy mummy, amazing music, and one hell of a performance from Peter, and it's Doctor Who at its finest.

This is the brilliance of Doctor Who. The horrors and monsters are absolutely disturbing and grotesque beyond human comprehension, shrouded in mystery and that ever-present factor of the Unknown that makes them all the more primally frightening. But the Doctor is the voice of Intellect and Heroism, and he demonstrates ultimately the valiant ability of the mind to subjugate even the most mysterious and horrifying monsters to Reason and thus defeat them. Deep-seated Heroism and Intellect, that is the Doctor, and that's what made the show great.

3:01 your relived soldier i felt that

[@smit1000]

Love the "Are you my mummy?" reference the Doctor says, referring to an 8th doctor episode.

[@owenhyatt2216]

[@paulfernandes8934]

[@Chuby123]

smit1000 9th Doctor episode: The Empty Child & The Doctor Dances.

[@owenhyatt2216]

Yep that's the one 😃

[@MrBoofhead1995]

And then 10 says it also Sadly 11 didn't say it

[@IOmoon6221]

This is the best episode of series 8, alongside "Flatline" and "Listen".

[@GenericUsernameOfAll]

66 seconds, The Doctor and a mummy. Best idea ever.

[@Twisted_Code]

"couple of minutes, max. I'll give you a shout..." it must be nice being really good at anaerobic metabolism/holding one's breath while simultaneously trying to hack a teleport module

[@nullparadoxx]

'I'm the doctor and I will be your victim this evening Are you my mummy?' Love it so much

[@muneebahmed2391]

Are u my mummy hahaha

[@baconator8523]

The funny thing is , the 11th Doctor got invited on the Space Orient Express after Amy’s and Rorys wedding...

[@AnglicanFish]

Yup! Moffat did it that long ago

[@domhunt]

“Are you my mummy???”🤣

[@colorblindartist5238]

1:40 This sentence alone makes me love him more and more

[@jacobkosh]

Not only is this my favorite episode from this season, this quickly became one of my favorite Who episodes of all time - and I've seen most of them. It has the pace, style, and attention to characterization of the modern series but with a solid, airtight plot that could have come out of the Tom Baker golden age. The moment where Capaldi steps in isn't just the moment where the actor really became the Doctor for me (although it was) - it's also the moment where the modern Doctor truly, finally connected fully with the originals.

"I didn't know. I hoped." -The Doctor, Season 8

[@fleurinoue4928]

My favourite scene from Season 8 (12th's my fav) - the suspense and the Doctor's lines are incredible.

[@scantopup2226]

I think the doctor is like the foretold, both are soldiers from a forgotten war and won't stop fighting/die

[@nicolesong6199]

You know how after this scene, the Doctor and Clara ended up on a beach? How Clara was carefully wrapped up in blankets sleeping peacefully? You know how the Doctor's probably the only one to do that? And how the Doctor was actually just watching her sleep? The Doctor carried Clara across the beach, wrapped her in blankets and put her down gently, and let her sleep.

[@pokefire5]

I think he wrapped her up before going to the beach.

[@nicolesong6199]

pokefire5 Well, yes. But still.

[@pokefire5]

What are you trying to say by the way?

[@nicolesong6199]

pokefire5 The message is that the Doctor and Clara have a much deeper relationship than you think, and this isn't the only evidence I have.

[@MagicCardboardBox]

+Nicole Song WELL SHE'S DEAD NOW

[@cubicdust3206]

I love how the Doctor's just working away casually while everyone's suffocating.

[@FutureReverberations]

1:42 Are you my mummy, I so loved this throw away throw back line. :)

[@datgaydangernoodle1315]

Yeah i saw that

[@maxhillai8219]

I have to say, music from 2:44 to 3:03 sounds really beautiful. It fits this scene perfectly

[@rafterscott]

One of the many awesome clips of the 12th doctor. Or rather the 18th doctor, 25th, 1,953rd doctor perhaps? Sigh...

[@julieeverett7442]

no he is 12th you will not convince me of that monstourness, we all know the master has a, shall we say, somewhat informal relationship with the truth, why believe any of it!!!!!

[@dedmnwlkn5796]

first words:"i will be your victim this eveningAREYOUMYMUMMY???"

[@RealCoolstriker64]

I’ve always loved the music kicking back in as Gus drains the air.

[@roosmeijer7511]

1:42 are you my mummy😂

[@nicholasxavier5892]

[@CloverSongthinks11iscute]
