A jumble of interesting ideas with a somewhat messy delivery. The episode relied a bit too much on people standing around and expositing; it felt rather tensionless and, at moments, slightly dull. I wish that the script had been more refined, and that Ellams’ unique ideas had been given more room to breathe.

The visuals were wonderful, though—I quite liked the story window, the brain+heart machine, and the episode’s overall setting and color scheme. I’m also intrigued with where they’re going with this stories create reality theme that RTD2 has so far been building itself around. In terms of that theme, the episode worked very well.

I wish I had enjoyed this one more; it just has some basic flaws that keep it from being as good as it could be.

My Experience with Season 2 has been a rocky one. I cannot lie, the first Half of this season had two Episodes, which I really didn't like. One in the Well, which while it had plenty of great Elements, didn't click with me as much as I would hoped. And of course there was Lux, which while I really like had a few Things holding back. Ever since the Titles dropped, I was very thrilled and interested in this Episode. Frankly because I thought the Title was a bit, well.. dumb, but also because of its new Writer. The very first new one (without Co-Writer Credit from RTD) since Rogue.

So was this Episode, the certified Classic, that I was hoping for?

Not quite.

But it's very close and maybe on a Rewatch, I will bump my rating up. There are a few Things holding this one back, and one might even argue enough to really put it much down. I must admit Ratings are a bit of a weird Thing, I rarely think they truly represent my Thoughts on a Story compared to what I have written about a Story, so as always take my rating not too serious.

While there is a lot to like and even love here, there are also plenty of Things which I didn't love. The Music at times was a bit too loud, and the emphasis is on the 'a bit' Part, while I understood all the Dialogue, I wish the Music was a bit quieter to fully understand it. Maybe that's just a Me-Thing, but while I do really like Gold, I feel like his Scoring has been going a bit overboard in this Era. There are still plenty of great Uses of Music, but sometimes I wish the Volume of the Music was quieter. There are plenty of Moments, where this is the Case, but also enough for me to notice it and having an Issue with it.

I already read plenty of People talking about the pacing in negative Light, which I do get. I myself think the pacing is a bit off after a certain Moment (that being when we come to the Revelation where the Doctor knows Abby. I think around that Point was when I noticed the Pacing being a bit off. Then again I must admit with the Revival there are plenty of Episodes, some of which I really like, where I find there should have been more Time to flesh out Things. And fleshing out is a good Point to bring up, that too, I've seen mentioned quite a few times, while I do like what has been done with it, a Part of me cannot lie that more Time would have a great Difference here.

That all said, I still rate this Episode highly. While I do agree with plenty of Points against it, I cannot deny that for the very first Time in quite a while, I felt more intrigued by a Plot being unfolded in a televised Who Story in a while. And maybe just for that, I am a lot kinder to the Episode.

But let's come to the Positives of this Episode, shall we? While I sounded fairly negative for most of it, there is plenty here to genuinely love. For example, the nice short Cameo of the Fugitive Doctor. Would I have liked if it was longer? Yes. But this has been something I was begging Who to do for a while. A short Moment where we see a different Doctor in a Story without it becoming a full on Multi Doctor Story. Something, that I think the PROSE Big Finish Short Trips do very well, or other EU-Stories.

Ncuti really shines here. There is a lot that I love here and think this genuinely does a lot for 15. Him making friends with somebody when they were a Kid? Great stuff. Him talking about feeling safe at that Barber Shop? Excellent. In general, this might be one of my favorite Performance of his in the Role. As much as I do love his Way to go theatrical here, it's Moments where he calls the Barbers Claim to be false and burst into Laughter, that really do it for me.

And have I mentioned the Barber yet? While I am a bit puzzled with a certain few Things about this Character. His Performer Ariyon Bakare gives one of my favorite Performances of this season. He is so good in the Part, and I absolutely loved him here.

Visually, I really enjoyed what the Episode was going for! I also thought the directing was splendid here, some Close-Ups were just great!

Oh, and the Story itself (no pun intended)? Well as I said it could have done with a bit more fleshing out. Jumping straight to the End, we get another "Doctor overpowers Forces with his long Life". And while certainly an ending that doesn't appeal to me since its Overuse, I thought for this Story in particular it actually worked quite well. The Concept of telling Stories to feed an Engine suits this kind of Ending and makes it feel more earned than certain other Endings we have gotten over past Episodes. In general, the whole Idea is great, it feels perfect for a Show with so many Stories under its Belt. One as I said might argue those Ideas deserved a bit more Time, and I'd agree actually, but I thought what we got was a lot of fun and is just a very enjoyable ride throughout. There were also some clever Bits such as with 15's new Haircut being a Map, which I thought was a delightful bit. I will say I enjoyed the entire Side-Casts, even if I wish we have gotten more of them, they could have done with a few more Moments of fleshing out. Especially Omo, who was an enjoyable Presence but one that I wish we have gotten to know better. Shame that we haven't gotten all that much with Berlinda here, especially considering how little we got with her, but oh well.

Not to go on with my Rambles, I still want to highlight how much I enjoyed the Dialogue here, if anything, it was highly a Highlight of this Episode. I think you can really tell it was written by somebody new, which is exactly what I want from new Doctor Who. Writer Inua Ellams really delivered on that front, and I wouldn't mind seeing him write for the Show again!

While certainly flawed in many Aspects, I thought this one was still an excellent, enjoyable ride that really just brought me a splendid Time! I am very excited to see what Juno Dawson has in store for next Week, bring it on!

interesting, different and unique! weirdly I feel like it would’ve been better as an audio drama but maybe that’s just me

I really liked this episode. I don't think it was the best of this series, but it might well become my personal favorite. It felt intimate, almost cozy, in a way that has become a bit rare in this very fast-paced series. I wish it had been longer, so we could've had more stories from the major players; we had one from the Doctor about Belinda, so having one from Belinda about the Doctor, e.g., would have been nice symmetry. That's more of an issue with the format than the narrative, though.

I think my favorite story was Abby's one about the braids; I like when Doctor Who weaves real historical fact into its stories, it brings it back to its origins. Also, Michelle Asante just has a really nice voice and a compelling way of telling.

And, just in case it needed saying: "Everybody lives! Just this one, everybody lives!"

WE'RE SO BACK!

It's great to have new blood creating episodes, and Inua Ellams wrote something that feels different from every episode before. I also want to give a shoutout to McPherson and all the crew working on visuals—the illustrated stories are beautiful, with the bonus of being diegetic and relevant to the plot of the episode.

I love the resolution of the episode, bringing to mind The Rings of Akhaten by centering the long, long story of the Doctor's existence. (And again, making the story about Doctor Who as a story... which could mean nothing.) "I'm born. I die. I'm born." is a beautiful summary of their life/lives as well.

My one gripe is that I wanted more! We didn't get to see much of the spider engine itself, despite it being great to look at and central to the plot. I also would've liked more Belinda, maybe looking into how she feels about meeting someone who the Doctor promised to save and then left behind.

(Also, I about jumped out of my seat at the Fugitive cameo.)

I was really looking forward to having some fresh blood behind the scenes - and, finally, a Black writer for our first Black Doctor (seriously, why did that take so long?) - but unfortunately, I have to say I didn't really vibe with this episode.

I'm not sure if the pacing is off, or if it's more my problem with bottle episode and especially stories that rely heavily on a bunch of people standing in a room and talking that bothers me. It's another case of feeling like both too much and not enough happened in this episode.

The concept is interesting, and the execution of the stories being told in (frankly gorgeous) artwork works really well. We've had stories about stories (which I personally think is a lot of fun as a trope), but never quite like this.

Belinda was barely in this episode. It definitely feels like at least one scene was cut, after she gets caught by the cop but before she's in the alley looking for the barbershop. Her role basically starts and ends with telling Abby that "Hurt people hurt people", a line which felt tacked on both from a story perspective and with the audio mastering. These series are too short to continuously sideline the main characters like this, though I do appreciate Fifteen getting more of a focus.

Speaking of, that's really the main thing I enjoyed about this episode. Like Belinda said, wanting to belong is very human, and I loved the scene of him walking through the market, thoroughly in his element. It's just nice to have a story set on contemporary(ish) Earth set outside of the UK, especially Africa, which I don't believe we've been to yet, and even more so to a specific country rather than the nebulous continent so many (non Who) stories are set in.

The Doctor's anger at Omo's "betrayal" felt unearned and out of place. Maybe if we had seen them bonding more it would have been more powerful, but then it would have been even more jarring that Omo essentially begging for the Doctor's help gets such a vitriolic response.

Jo Martin's cameo as the fugitive Doctor was fun and exciting, though it does raise a few questions on how much the Doctor remembers of being her considering he was fobwatched.

From the moment stories were used to sate some sort of beast I was reminded of Rings of Akhaten, one of my all time favourite episodes - which unfortunately isn't a good thing. Much like The Well being a sequel to Midnight or Lucky Day opening quite similarly to Love & Monsters, referencing an old favourite forces me to compare the stories, even if subconsciously, and like most people, I am likely blinded by nostalgia and my love for those established stories, and am much more likely to be critical of the newer ones. As such, the ending where the Doctor uses his past lives to overload the engine falls flat for me; nothing will ever compare to the feeling I got watching that grandiose speech with the music swelling in the background when I was twelve.

That being said, the resolution was still fun. All the old Doctor cameos always get a smile, no matter how overdone they are. The tree-like brain/heart thing was gorgeous (though I do wish they hadn't spelled out the symbolism). I like that everyone was forgiven and they all ended up on good terms with one another.

The acting was really good throughout the whole episode (though some of the side characters felt quite flat and didn't really feel like proper characters), it was gorgeous to look at, and it did something a little bit different, even if it reused some staple tropes. Overall, despite my general feelings of "meh", there's definitely a lot to enjoy here.

PEAK PEAK PEAK PEAK PEAK

The power of stories is incredible, particularly when attention is given to whose stories they are. Is the hero of the story and the one who is behind it all, the one credited for the story or the one side lined?

Throughout, the detailed web of the stories, and how this supports the God's is fascinating, and such a beautiful concept. And the idea of someone behind this, and building these stories, who is forgotten is brilliant. The small setting, within the barber shop is executed fantastically. With the tapestry of stories weaved throughout, this never feels tiring, with the beautiful depth of character executed throughout the stories.

Throughout, Doctor Who steps and breaks new ground - has it ever told a story like this, this bold? It's exactly what I hoped for new writers this season, particularly when it gets to tell a story, so rooted in experiences that it is brand new.

I am singing its praises, but it isn't without flaw however. Unfortunately, as brilliant as the concepts are, the pacing is all over the place. The first time writing of a TV script is difficult when trying this medium, to match and fix the pacing. And consequently, this shows. The pacing throughout just always managed to take me out of the story slightly, even if I wanted to be immersed so much more.

Review #33

Like ya cut G

This story was interesting to say the least. I wasn't excited for this one at all but I enjoyed it more than I expected to. Doctor who being in Nigeria feels cool. Its a place we haven't been to before and hopefully we will go back again sometime. The whole premise of story's have power and meaning was something doctor who hasn't done before and I enjoyed it. Having Jo Martin back feels amazing I need more of her. 7/10

I absolutely adore stories about stories, and stories about creation. Look Back, Akane-Banashi, Blue Period, Eizouken are all favourites of mine. Uh whoops, all of these are all anime/manga, but like, you get the gist right? Art about art gets me to my soul.

Now combine that with a story structure, setting and voice we have never had before. Inua Ellems' voice shown throughout this. This didn't feel like anything we've had before in Doctor Who (other than the resolution, slightly. Which we'll get to shortly). The dialogue flowed in a way that felt wholly unique. The concept was fresh. The conflict itself even! This is why I've been begging for new voices since the start of the era! And while it's great when we get episodes like Rogue, which are done by new writers but feel like standard Who fair with new penmanship, this is a whole other level. This was brand new!

It looked gorgeous too. I love mixed media and the mixed media storytelling on the windows was beautiful. The direction? Fantastic. And oooh it was a bottle episode <3 Love those!

Performances were incredible. Abby and The Barber both felt liked nuanced characters not just due to their dialogue, but primarily due to their performances. There were layers to each and honestly, both of them are some of the best guest stars we've ever had (other than Ayling-Ellis in The Well, who I still think is maybe the best side character performance ever). Fab stuff.

And 15! I feel like I'm learning more and more of who he actually is this series, and Ncuti Gatwa plays a quiet wrathful Doctor who is also open to give second chances to those who deserve it, and to those who aren't necessarily evil so well. While I've had issues in the past with how undefined this Doctor has felt to me, Gatwa himself has never once let me down with his performance, and this week he elevated it to a whole new standard. He's such a stellar actor, and I really hope we get him for a few more years, rumours and fears be damned!

Resolution wise, while yes "I am The Doctor and I am old and cool!" is a very NuWho standard resolution at this point, here it felt like it was better set up and earned after Ol' Doccy Who got access to the engine. "I'm born. I die. I'm born." Beautiful stuff. I genuinely thought this landed because it was old hat done in a way that felt new and unique.

Oh and yes, I did lose my mind at the Jo Martin cameo. I gamer leaned and physically gasped. Amazing having you here, Fugitive darling <3

Fantastic episode and on immediate gut feeling, my favourite of the series so far.

We're so back.

I wasn’t hyped for this story but I’m glad to be proven wrong wrong what a banger

My takeaways from this episode:

1. The Doctor mentions that this is the first time he's had "this" black body, and yet, later on in the episode, he displays undeniable proof that he remembers an experience from when he had a certain other black body (i'll get into that in another point.)
2. When you imagine what the result would be if you bring in a black Nigerian man to write for the first mainline black Doctor for an episode set in Nigeria, that opening scene in the TARDIS and the sense of community The Doctor has found there is exactly what you're expecting, and it's one of my favourite moments right off the bat.
3. JO F*CKING MARTIN!!!! Cameo aside, if The Fifteenth Doctor definitely remembers an adventure he had as The Fugitive Doctor, even offering up their account, are we to take it that in between the final episode of Flux and this one, The Doctor just dug out the fob watch from the depths of the TARDIS and fully reunited with their Timeless Child self off-screen? If so, i kinda f*ck with it.
4. So, if, bottom line, The Doctor definitely remembers being The Fugitive Doctor, then why did he say this is the first time he's been black? Answer: he didn't, he said this is the first time he's had "this" black body. So, if you read between the lines, are we to take it that the Timeless Child reused bodies from time to time? What if The Timeless Child has previously looked like Paul McGann or William Hartnell, Peter Capaldi, Jodie Whittaker, etc.? What if that's the gift of The Timeless Child's species? Time Lords can't reuse faces, but The Timeless Child can with relative ease. What if David Tennant coming back was one such example of the Timeless Child shining through the Time Lord biology rewrite, except The Doctor clocked it this time because it was a face reused from after the mind wipe? What if being David Tennant again motivated The Fifteenth Doctor to find out more about his Timeless Child self and what they could do?

OK, i'm kind of going a bit too hard into Fan Theory territory, but still, outside of the implications to the wider Doctor Who lore, this episode works really well on it's own. I had a really fun time watching it.

Immensely imaginative, but dragged down by its pacing. Too quick, too much info in a small amount of time. Even then, the acting was amazing, the characters very compelling and I love that the Doctor's race is once again front and center as the episode tackles this topic wonderfully.

Oh, and my jaw dropped at THAT appearance (I actually rewinded the episode 10 seconds  as I thought I was hallucinating)

Get this writer back!

Edit: so there was another mad appearance that I instantly recognised and I can't tell where it is going but I'm excited, it's Captain Poppy!

I'd say this story does a bit too much for it's runtime. It's very, very fast, while also doing what it does very, very well. Part of me yearned for it to slow down and take it's time- it felt like it should've been two part story. The ideas were plentiful, the emotional beats were lovely, I just would've loved to savor all this story's bountiful gifts for far longer. As it is, it feels a bit muddled by it's own pacing, sadly deflating the plot ever so slightly. Need this writer back. I am sure that, with this notch under his belt, he will continue to get better and better.

Back in 2024, Russell said the marvelous thing about Doctor Who is that the past 61 years don't matter.

And now in 2025, basically every episode we get is somehow referencing the old episodes.

9-10/10

Also, just in case if anyone's wondering, the clips from the montage are from these episodes:

The Tomb of the Cyberman

Spearhead from Space

The Doctor Dances

Voyage of the Damned

The Zygon Inversion

Power of the Doctor

The Woman Who Fell to Earth

The Five Doctors

Vincent and the Doctor

The Pyramids of Mars

The Night of the Doctor

The Daleks in Colour

The Trial of a Time Lord

The Giggle

The Daleks Invasion of Earth

The Church on Ruby Road

This episode was amazing, but I have to subtract a full star for arachnophobia issues.

Season Two (Series Fifteen); Episode Five - "The Story & The Engine" by Inua Ellams

Doctor Who is getting some more new blood! For the first time since Rogue last season, we have an author who’s never touched the show in the writer’s room and it was an episode I was, surprisingly enough, quite excited for. I have made a point to not look at any news for this series after being spoiled for the Sutekh reveal last season by numerous bang-on fan theories, so I’ve not even been watching the next time trailers. All I knew is that it was set somewhere in Africa and that there was a spider. Going in blind, I was looking forward to something new, something fresh, and what I got was something that I’m still not sure how to react to.

Visiting an old friend’s barber shop, the Doctor finds himself face to face with a mysterious storyteller on a path to revenge, powering his ship with the stories of lost souls. And who has more stories than the Doctor?

(CONTAINS SPOILERS)

This is going to be a hard story to review. It is pretty unlike anything this show has ever put out before I’m still unsure on how to feel about it. On one hand, I adore the creativity and originality of it all - it is a truly unique episode and I can’t fault it for that - but then on the other hand, it has one too many problems as an episode itself for me to properly get invested. Maybe I’ve just become predisposed to disliking this season because all I feel watching these episodes at this point is apathy and I’m beginning to wonder if it’s more my fault than the show’s. Well, best we find out.

If there is one thing The Story & The Engine does tremendously, it’s imagery. The set and costume design is immaculate, and I love the earthy, traditional vibe of it all; it really gives off a unique air. Beyond that, I also think the setting is great because, for somebody who loves Earth so much, the Doctor never seems to want to leave England. We’ve gotten two international episodes this season and I think that’s brilliant because the show really should travel around a little more. 

As for the plot, I definitely admire its freshness if nothing else. I really dig weaving folklore and storytelling into a narrative because it makes for some great concepts and all the stuff about the power of stories and the Nexus was fascinating. I do quickly have to bring up that I found myself somewhat lost for a not insignificant chunk of the episode. For a story about stories, The Story & the Engine struggled with its exposition and the line between an in-universe narrative and a truckload of heavy handed explanation was very thin. Too much information is dumped on you at once and I found it hard to keep up. Also, does anybody else think it's weird that Anansi and all the other gods are just straight up real? Like, the Doctor fights Gods all the time, but they’re mostly ageless beings of unimaginable power, not actual avatars of human folklore. This episode feels a lot more fantasy than sci-fi and sometimes clashes with the model of Doctor Who, but not enough for it to properly become a problem.

What I can’t let slip however is the rest of the episode because if you take away all the bells and whistles you’re left with a kind of dull affair. Let’s start with characters, and the only one I can really compliment is the Doctor. I have brought this up before but I adore the idea of the Doctor zipping around the universe and making friends and connections as he goes, and having little homes away from home to go to - I think it makes the universe feel a little bit more lived in. Also, Fugitive’s cameo was fun; for as much as I hate the Timeless Child, I’m happy they're not just going to lazily drop it (can’t fix bad writing with bad writing). However, our sidecast is too large and uninteresting for me to really care, each one characterised by a sentence of exposition. There is some attempt with the Doctor’s old friend Odo and Anansi’s daughter (???) Abby - as well as the Barber himself - but there’s so much going on that it all just falls flat for me and I found myself distinctly uninvested. 

In fact, “uninvested” could probably describe most of my feelings towards this story. The characters are too shallow and the ideas too big and numerous for me to really buy into it, plus, it’s nature as mostly conversations in a barber shop mean that, at least for me, there was next to no tension. Also, I don’t really know how to describe it, but the whole episode felt… awkward. Everything landed just a bit off: the lines were a bit too dramatised, the direction was a little too askew, the ideas conveyed just a little too poorly. This episode is presented in a very clumsy way, I think because there’s so much going on it’s hard to capture it all. This story might have worked quite a bit better as prose because then you could really have the narrative space to run around but here, everything’s a little, I dunno, squished.

I’m on the fence about The Story & the Engine. I appreciate its originality and its vision but it seems too caught up with the wrong things and because of that, I feel little in the way of love towards it. It’s like a story I should adore but without the enthusiasm, presented in a slightly wonky way in a medium that couldn’t really contain it. It’s definitely not bad and by far the most creatively rich of the season so far, but it’s missing the universal ingredients that make a great piece of TV.

6/10

Pros:

+ Really great set and costume design

+ Brimming with fascinatingly original ideas

+ I love the weaving of stories and folklore into the narrative

+ Did some interesting things with the Doctor

Cons:

- Awkwardly put together

- Its storytelling turns to exposition quite easily

- Tensionless for most of the narrative

- Couldn’t find myself invested in the characters

There's a twisted irony to the notion that this is a story about the power and danger that comes from seeking control over all stories... that is one of the few episodes in RTD2 not written by the man himself. While it has shades of other metafictional yarns like The Rings Of Akhaten and even Class' The Metaphysical Engine, that same sentiment about the power that comes from storytelling is tempered through an extremely specific cultural context. The Barber's backstory, of creating the foundation of a wondrous technology only to have it ripped away from him by 'higher-ups', is the story of every slave worker who mined minerals used in the infrastructure of our own World Wide Web. Including the device you're likely reading this on, unfortunately.

And this is without getting into the cultural importance of this predominantly-Black story, being told within a predominantly-White space, having haircuts and Black hair specifically as a key thematic touchstone. I'm way too pale to properly dissect that here, but if you know, you know.

Even with my admitted weakness for this side of Doctor Who, when it gets deep into telling stories about telling stories, I was not expecting this to hit as hard for me as it did. The narrative itself is beautiful, dealing directly in the friction between Men and Gods that, honestly, I was hoping all of the Pantheon arc would involve because this is intensely interesting to me. I liken that particular relationship to a large-scale, cosmic version of M.C. Escher's Drawing Hands, of stories that write their own stories, and Inua Ellams' writing here illustrated that brilliantly. At a time when literal Gods are frequently showing up as the main antagonists in the show, I like how this episode in particular makes it a point to view ideas of faith and worship in a more pragmatic sense. To slightly paraphrase Belinda: "The difference between good and evil is what we do with that belief."

There's also something about the titular Engine that feels so emblematic of the entire show. This Engine that runs on the gift of storytelling, of human imagination and articulation, that is connected to a person so full of the most wonderful stories that they essentially are a story in the shape of a person. I could easily nitpick the surprise appearance of the Fugitive Doctor here (in terms of series lore, it really doesn't make much sense), but as part of the larger display of just how many stories the Doctor has lived and been, I appreciate her inclusion all the same. That core idea, of travelling beyond the boundaries of our universe, in a vessel fuelled by the stories we tell, is about as true to the ideal of Doctor Who as it gets, far as I'm concerned.

Over the course of writing this, it feels like my head is bulging because there's just so much going on here; it's kind of overwhelming. I get the feeling I'll still be thinking this over for a while after this gets posted. And that's a good thing; I like stories worth devoting that much mental bandwidth to.

Episode 5: The Story & The Engine

I wanted to like this more but you can sort of tell this was written by a first time TV writer. It feels like a script written by someone who has always wanted to write doctor who but is not sure they'll have another opportunity so has crammed all their ideas into one episode. The end result for me was just confusion. That being said this would make an amazing target novel.

Also I'm pretty sure some of the story graphics used AI...

first two acts were good, but i feel like it kinda fell apart with wrapping everything up. real shame, because its such a cool concept, and a gorgeous setting. oh well

That was fun.

Might've been the most solid episode of the new era, BUT... it was too much, literally.

I know it's kind of the point of the story that they all tell their stories, but the "Tell not show" really didn't work when it came to explaining the cosmology. Just on words it was too much and it had me disoriented.

Omo was a fun character, but I wish we had a little moreflashbacks of the Doctor visiting the shop, because then the scene of him being angry at Omo because he trapped him would've made more sense, while now it felt random and a little hollow.
Add to that the cameos that felt desperate, as if they tried to win us with fanservice -while the Fugitive Doctor appearance sort of made sense, at the same time it shot itself in the foot because the Doctor isn't supposed to remember their life as a Fugitive.
Overall, the almost perfect episode that just needed trimming down (pun intended) to not feel overstuffed. The idea is amazing, don't get me wrong, but it is too vast for such a short period of time.

i loved everything about this episode, i hope Inua writes for the show again, and Makalla Mcpherson was an amazing director. I loved the resolution i loved just everything this review is not in anyway thought out i just loved it so much i can't wait to watch it again.

BEAUTIFUL!! Absolutely beautiful and poignant piece on the power of storytelling!! I adored this one and I can’t wait to rewatch!!

THAT MOMENT!!!!! AAAAA!! OMG I JUMPED FROM MY SEAT!!!! 

15 and Belinda MY LOVES!!! I adore them!!!!
