It's very strange, but one thing raises the suspicions of the United Nations: it just appeared overnight. The aliens inside claim that humans would cause the death of all life on Earth. Soon, the Twelfth Doctor, Bill and Nardole are facing an invasion the likes of which they have never seen before. Before they invade, the aliens need the permission of humanity.

I love this episode! I love the end of the world being not only something other than war, but an accident through a series of small happenings. I love the Generals attempting a peaceful solution to save the world. I love the scene of Bill doing anything to save the Doctor. I love the creepiness of the monks. The solution of love doesn't make a lot of sense, when (1) Bill loves the Doctor, not the monks, and (2) the fear and strategy were also surely bound up with love for their family and world. But that doesn't matter too much when the story is good. My only real issue with it is un-disabling the Doctor before his regeneration. presidentdisastra View profile Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG. Rating716 members 3.43 / 5 Trakt.tv AVG.
