Breaking The Wall | Heaven Sent | Doctor Who

Almkst as sad as when he parted with Rose.... 😢😢

The devotion he showed for Clara made this one of the best episodes.....

This is what happens when capaldi gets a good script to complement his acting.

When the Ghost of Christmas Future lurks in your peripheral vision for four and a half billion years.

I wonder how many years he could have saved if he stopper talking and did more punching 😂

Just think if he’s taken the spade to the wall he could have carved about a million years off his time in the dial 😂

...What if this is why Twelve had to be the one to throw the lever to save Gallifrey? It took the entire time he was in the Confession Dial for the Tardis to calculate everything, and it wasn't even a fragment of one percent done in Eleven's time?

assuming he spends, say, 6 hours in each loop, can someone do the math and calculate at least how many loops he went through if he spent, say 5 billion years in the trap?

This episode just got a card revealed in Magic the Gathering that captures the essence of the episode perfectly

This was actually like a curse that you have and you need to pass the challenge.

Can anyone explain this episode to me. If the doctor died and a clone made, one why did he never regenerate, two surely it means he is not the doctor now, just a clone with the doctors memory?

He could have saved himself alt of time kicking the diamond wall.

I love that even strongest material can be broken when u have eternity

How many seconds in eternity the Shepard’s boy says there this mountain of pure diamond it takes an hour to climb it and an hour to go around it and a little bird comes it sharpens it’s beak on the diamond mountain and when the entire mountain is chiselled away the first second of eternity would of passed you must think that’s a hell of a long time personal I think that’s a hell of a bird

So in the afterlife in doctor who, doesn't that mean clara is with a million 12th doctors? 🤣

If it took him any longer to hammer his way through, he would become the first time Lord who ran out of time!

this one episode was better than the entire show

"Personally, I think you are a hell of an actor"

That's my goddamn Doctor.

This poor man had to mine a block of obsidian with his bare fists.

wow so Britain calls “1200000” “twelve hundred thousand” that’s better than a million two hundred thousand

4.5 billion years is 1 second of eternity.

Imagine if doctor who was there instead of doctor strange in the first movie...he would have had dormammu begging to bargin

"Combien de secondes dans l'éternité ?
Le garçon berger dit:
"Voici une montagne de pur diamant.
Cela prend une heure pour l'escalade, et une heure pour la contourner.
Tout les 100 ans, un petit oiseau vient, et aiguise son bec sur la montagne de diamant.
Et quand la montagne toute entière sera erodée, la première seconde de l'éternité se sera écoulée."
Vous trouvez ça extrêmement long?
Personnellement, je crois que c'est un sacré oiseau."

Peter Capaldi

I have friends and family who know I love doctor who but know little to nothing about it themselves. It always confuses them whenever I tell them without context that my favourite line in the history of the show is “Personally, I think that’s a hell of a bird”

if I could suggest an episode to a novice to get them hooked it would be this series.
IMHO the greatest sci fi episodes in all of history. even non "whovians" are familiar with it

IMO Heaven Sent is one of the greatest Doctor Who episodes of all time (on-par with even Genesis of the Daleks)

Andwhentheentiremountainischissledawaaaaaay

Doctor Who and shows like Black Mirror really point out what a terrifying force time can be

It resonates with me as someone who is going through stuff in medical school.

Just imagine what could have been if Capaldi was given the scripts as good as Tennant's... I still feel so jealous about the fact that the best actor got such poor writing.

The Doctor : Oh, big, big mistake, really huge. Didn't anyone ever tell you there's one thing you never put in a trap, if you're smart, if you value your continued existence, if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow, there's one thing you never, ever put in a trap.

Bob : And what would that be, sir?

The Doctor : Me.

I love the doctor

Since there werent any time travels and the doctor spent there 4 and a half billion years doesnt it make him 4 billion instead of like 10XX years old? Or why didnt he regenerate of old age?

I feel kinda bad for Peter Capaldi, he had to act out this scene a few hundred billion times. Personally, I think that's one hell of an actor

When you're sorting out a hoarder's house.

I've never seen a better metaphor to overcoming PMO addiction, I am reduced to tears.

This is a brilliant episode. Making the concept of grief the villain of the week. Letting the Doctor explore that emotion instead of just moving on like he usually does.

Everything about this episode was done the best it possibly could have been. Capaldi was at his best, the writing was brilliant, Gold's score was excellent, the direction was great, the editing was perfect.

Everything came together to make an episode that should be top 5 in anyone's best Who episodes ever list.

The best scene from the best episode in the entirety of the run.
A masterpiece.

Episódio perfeito

The life of almost everibody

Heaven Sent was amazing. Hell Bent was fairly terrible.

Tenant is my favorite of the Doctors over the years, but this particular scene might be my favorite in the entire series. Capaldi's performance is phenomenal in this entire episode, and this sequence in particular is unforgettable.

One of those moment when The Doctor saves his friends not through cleverness, but sheer will.

We find out later he spent 4.5 billion years in the confession dial. 1st off, the earth is that old and it's only halfway thru it's lifespan, just for some time context. And if we assume this loop took just a day or two, and he remembers it all when he comes out, that's so, so, so, so many days to be chiseling and a wall with your fist

Great episode but a take off of a famous Chinese story from ages back. Best episode ever by the way.

This, is a perfect episode. No, buts, no ifs. Perfection

I've never seen anyone comment, but this Doctor in the end is just an exact copy, like the real one was disintegrated to record all the information on the machine and thus make several copies? Because the whole episode shows a copy burning to give life to the next one, so this ends up being a copy too '-' am I crazy? did I miss something?

Personally, I think that’s a hell of a bird.
