"He's going to wipe his mind" The Teller: * *crushes his skull with telepathic force* *

It's less of a wipe and more of a dissolve, with the added impact being the crown sinking into a now-empty skull.

Well, let's see where the hell we are... some sort of future-y sci-fi area... plenty of doors around... maybe I can make a story out of this. Stanley, don't go anywhere. For all we know this is a different game altogether and we aren't even important. I'll figure the details out later, just... don't move.

Jack Evans well people of that nature don’t have no emotion, they just have no capability of empathy plus we don’t know how guilt is defined here, it could be either feeling bad for something, or it could just mean the simple thought of the crime in your head

Nothing. The bank is probably run by such people as they are the only ones who wouldn't eventually die on the job.

Dark Phoenix already kicked his ass in a movie.

I think that Xavier would win. Cause even if the Teller could understand that he was lying, Professor X can change his memory into forgetting it. At least, of course, human mutant powers are ineffective on its species...

[@Hedgehoginthetardis]

I genuinely love this episode. I know that when you think about it too hard there are a few plot holes in the whole timey-wimey-ness, but honestly, I can forgo the plot holes in a story so long as it entertains me enough, and this story is very entertaining and engaging. I usually have a problem with plot holes in other Moffat stories because the story relies so heavily on how clever it looks by making things connect, but when it doesn't, then it falls a bit flat. This story however has a more central focus on fun and being a cool heist which is why I enjoy it so much.

[@Monochromicornicopia]

[@TheAkashicTraveller]

If the brain suddenly disappeared it would create a vacuum. Can't be arsed to look up how to figure out what that would do however.

[@eggnorman]

I guess whatever soups your brain has to soup your skull first

[@thehumanoddity]

@@TheAkashicTraveller It wouldn't. The skull would just sit there, not caving in, the inside of your mind is somewhat hallow which allows the brain to move around. That is why moving your head back and forth quickly is so uncomfortable, you are literally beating your brain on the inside of your skull. Liquefying it wouldn't do anything visible to the skull as it would still be solid bone and retain its shape.

What if he was just cheating on his partner or something? On a subconscious level, we all feel guilt about something.

I think that’s what it was doing at 2:06, checking to see what his guilt was base on. I think they would have let him go if he was guilty about something that wasn’t criminal intent as they found out he was.

If he'd told them what he was feeling guilty about (and it wasn't a heist), they probably would have let him complete his transaction (under supervision).

Victims actually remain alive, at least for a period, despite the violent liquefaction of the brain. Probably it's only the cerebrum which is destroyed, leaving behind the brain stem - some basic reflexive and autonomic functions, but that's about it.

One of my favourite episodes, i really enjoyed the sci-fi feel that this episode had, the bank, the characters and most of all: the Teller! It's a shame that we only saw human background characters, some alien creatures would've been really cool and would've enhanced the futuristic look of the bank. Unfortunatlely the weak parts start coming in during the end making the ending a bit boring and predictable.

Anyone else see a ton of flaws with this? 1. Detecting guilt only works for those that feel guilty. So, if you're immoral, psychologically damaged, on drugs, etc. The monster can't get you. 2. Guilt doesn't equal crime. What if ate his friends froyo? Bumped into someone? Kicked trashcan by mistake? 3. Next of kin has no reason to be punished for a crime the prosecution doesn't know about. Sentences require an offense. 4. The guy's head wouldn't cave in. He's got a skull and a brain is already floating in liquid, so it wouldn't leak out either.
