Doctor Whowants to drop the MIC … the military-industrial complex, that is.
This week, former showrunner Steven Moffat has returned to write an episode.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration is reportedlyplanninga new $1 billion arms sale to Israel.
The episode title is used in three different ways.
It takes a few deaths before we get there, though.
The Bad Wolf of this season, if you will.
Its hilarious that tears and multiple monologues somehow still dont give it away.
Sadly, all this music does not summon my new personal icon, Maestro, a.k.a.
Because flashy weapons apparently sell better, the landmine is providing a visual countdown.
Johns daughter, Splice, hears his voice and comes to investigate.
The Doctor helpfully informs Mundy that as a Time Lord, hes a bigger bang than she bargained for.
Her scanner confirms that he could take half the planet with him.
A Villengard ambulance latches on to the Doctor and immediately starts glitching.
Ruby grabs Mundys gun and shoots at the sky to give a shot to distract the combat-activated bot.
The Doctor can only sob as his companion rolls down the ground.
And now, a reminder of Rubys mysteries.
The ambulance identifies her as 3,082 years old but cant name her next of kin.
Ruby starts crying and, as weve now seen happen several times with her, it begins to snow.
The Doctor appeals to Johns fatherhood as Splice looks on.
Dad to dad, you never let them down, right?
To the end, right?
The ambulances firewall resists, killing Canto with a defensive blast.

To be fair, maybe the ordained dont have too many chances to hone their dating skills.
At least he got to see her tattoo work before he died?
To Splice, her dads not gone, just dead.
Ruby hands him the TARDIS keys, and they muse about death.
Snow isnt snow until it falls, the Doctor says, which … sure.
The rhyme also mentions going to the beach where she is waiting.
Anyway, Fifteen ups the tally by mentioning a bet to deactivate a landmine underwater at a lesbian gymkhana.
Thats gotta be Thirteen, yeah?
Maybe she met the lovely sentient mud girls there.
Finally, who do we think Susan Twist is?
Ive seen some theories online that shes his granddaughter, Susan, whom he mentioned in The Devils Chord.
But is the return of the Doctors granddaughter really enough of a twist for RTD?
