Perhaps I am in the minority here, but I *loathed* this episode. The story of the Eternals was gorgeous and the historical setting was beautiful, but that's where it stops for me. Nothing else about this one worked for me. I hated the pacing, and the way that the characters bumble along without much happening. The Eternals were pointless and not nearly as menacing as they should have been, and I spent the entire episode waiting for the punch that I felt sure must have been coming. And then it didn't. Instead of this, what you want to watch is *Sarah Jane Adventures: The Nightmare Man*. That's this concept done properly. sircarolyn View profile Like Liked 4 13 November 2024 · 83 words Review by DontBlink Spoilers 4 This review contains spoilers! DOCTOR WHO: SEASON 38: STORY 6 Can You Hear Me is one of those weird, experimental stories, which I absolutely love. This episode lived up to my expectations, and more! It’s unsettling, fun, scary, confusing, beautiful, and so much more. The concept is really cool and brilliantly executed. The wonderful direction adds to the great atmosphere, leaving you with an excellent sense of unease. But seriously, Ryan’s worst fear is a Dreg? Great, thanks for reminding me of Orphan 55.

Those detaching fingers were so unsettling! Loved the animated sequence, and the stuff with the Doctor and Graham, and Graham's cancer.
