"Well, he's on Gallifrey. I hope Timothy Dalton's there." Well yes, but actually no.

Fun fact: Capaldi actually punch through that wall for billions of years. Now that's some commitment!

I say on every reaction, the fact that Capaldi didn’t win any major awards for his performance in this episode is an absolute disgrace!! Rachel Talalay directed as well and her vision for this episode was amazing too!

not enough people talk about the music in this episode, murry gold at his best

A masterpiece of acting, directing, writing, editing, cinematography, and score. This is by far my favourite episode. Damn close to televised perfection.

"It's all the days they stay dead." That bit nearly killed me. Every year, it gets sadder.

"Why can't I just lose?" Such emotion. That question sums up 12 in a nutshell. He's TIRED. He want's to rest. But he can't because the universe won't let him.

Masterpiece of an episode. Peter Capaldi is phenomenal. What a performance. He is THE Doctor, no question. I love the next episode even though it breaks my heart. I can't wait for their reaction.

There was this mountain of a show called Dr Who. Every week, a little group called Blind Wave would peck away one episode. By the time 9 seasons have been chiseled away, the first moment of eternity will have passed. Personally, I think that's one hell of a reaction!

‘Bird’ is also slang for prison time. So there is a double meaning when the Doctor says near the end, “Personally, I think that’s a hell of a bird.”

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I love Eric's love for Capaldi!

The Doctor tells a little boy in 'Face The Raven' to "Remember eighty two" and then here, in 'Heaven Sent', it takes 82 minutes to go from one end of the castle to the other 😉

"I think that's one hell of a bird" - This is peak Capaldi right here everyone. It goes without saying that 'Heaven Sent' is a true masterpiece and a beautifully portrayed battling of grief, loss and fear with a triumphant resolution. Everything about this episode is pitch-perfect; Steven Moffat delivering his best story yet, Rachel Talalay's direction is flawless, Murray Gold's music is superb, the pacing and structuring works perfectly, plus the Veil was truly bloody terrifying! However, this was Peter Capaldi’s finest hour and he earned it big time. Plus, it delivers one of the best cliff-hangers in the show's history. For me, this was not just the standout story of the series, but it was Moffat's best story, Capaldi's best story, the best story of Modern Who, and quite possibly, the best Doctor Who story of all time. ​

Total and utter masterpiece. Not just the greatest episode in the history of Doctor Who but also one of the finest pieces of television ever made. Perfection.

The beautiful piece of music near the end is called "The Shepherd's Boy" and it is one of my favorite pieces

But does that mean that the first iteration of the Doctor to explore the confession dial just ran around naked, since he hung up his clothes to dry and never took them back? 🤔

The dolly zoom done on the doctor when he realises he needs to kill himself to continue, one of my favourite moments from the show!

The episode is metaphor for regeneration. He'll never ever stop. And the music is incredible (and on spotify)

The scene with the crystal wall was the best for two reasons. 1) I loved how Capaldi got interrupted when he made progress. (only part way through a sentence just like he was part way through the wall) 2) while the progress of flesh & bone VS material 9 x harder than diamond is ridiculous. The implied moto of with enough time, water can erode continents. - is very cool.

I loved this episode. And Capaldi’s acting skills is worth an Emmy.

This is the straight up best episode of Doctor Who. I don't care about your angels. I don't care your casts. This episode takes the main character, gives him no actual characters to play off, and sparks the ONE episode everyone always compares to Blink. It's the polar opposite to Blink, and that is why this is the best DW episode of all time. Sure, Blink had the best story and playthrough - but Heaven Sent is so good because it is ONLY the Doctor, not the absence of the Doctor. And with ONLY the Doctor, it gave us a story that simultaneously made us never able to properly understand her sacrifice for her friend, while also admitting the same while trying to protect their friends. The angels were so dangerous, they would never risk the lives of anyone who were not capable of dealing with their infestation, which the dealees did Moffat struck unbelievably largely out with this

"There’s this emperor, and he asks the shepherd’s boy how many seconds in eternity. And the shepherd’s boy says, ‘There’s this mountain of pure diamond. It takes an hour to climb it and an hour to go around it, and every hundred years a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on the diamond mountain. And when the entire mountain is chiseled away, the first second of eternity will have PASSED!’ You may think that’s a hell of a long time.. Personally, I think that’s a hell of a bird." - Twelfth Doctor.

This was Peter Capaldi’s finest hour as the Doctor! Yet another amazing classic from Moffat, and one of my top 10 favourite Doctor Who episodes of all time. This episode should’ve got an Emmy.

Everything about this episode. The storyline. The amazing solo performance from Peter. The music. The visuals. Man I love this show.

LMAO Eric needs a award for that ending

"Punch up here, punch down here" 😂 Am I mistaken or is Aaron a bigger Capaldi Doctor fan now??

speaking as someone who started watching in the Tom Baker era, this was possibly the best episode of doctor who ever.

It all lead to this... the best episode of all of Doctor Who. I think I'm not alone in saying I've been waiting for this one since they started. ... and in the end, I think they went in with too much of an analytical mind and missed a bit of the emotion of the final 10 minutes, but oh, well...

Why did no-one mention the editing to this episode?!?! It was an artistic masterclass in editing. Stunning piece work! And don't even get me started on the music!!! Wow, what an episode all round!

We're here Bois see you in 50 mins after full length

I really like this episode !!. The plot is engaging but it truly is a showcase for Peter Capaldi , he is effectively able to portray the Doctor’s grief and introspection while also being funny and badass aswell !!. Capaldi’s not my favorite Doctor but he may be the best actor to play this great character!!.

One of the greatest episodes in television history

did you know the first version of The Doctor to teleport lived to an REALLY old man before he worked it out the plan of punching the wall. just thought that was pretty cool considering how long it takes for a Timelord to age.

Fun fact. Moffat originally planned for a singular weeping angel to be the nemesis following the doctor around the castle but decided the veiled figure would serve as better effect

I wish Lono had put a CSI: MIami "YEAAAAAAAAHHHH" at the end of the episode, when Capaldi put on his sunglasses. It's such a David Caruso move to put on the sunglasses then state your reveal/quip! :D

You see the exact moment where he comes to room 12, remembers "bird" and in his mind TARDIS he's freaking out and lamenting "fuuuuuuuck I don't want to do this. Can't I just give up?"

Without question, this is Capaldi’s best episode

That ending was so fucking amazing, I laughed out so loud my upstairs neighbour came down to ask if i was ok.

I waited 4 billion years for this reaction 😆 This episode is phenomenal. One of the greatest episodes of Doctor Who, it's up there with The Day Of The Doctor. Peter Capaldi is absolutely brilliant in this. From the directing, lighting, cinematography, acting, and music - everything about this episode is top-notch.

the most devastating part of this for me is the mind storeroom after he finds the wall, summed up in two lines. "That's when i remember! Always then... Always Exactly Then!" "But i can remember it Clara... you don't understand i can remember it all"

This is probably my favorite Peter Capaldi episode. It's literally a one man play revolving around mystery. No one else speaks outside of Clara, who's technically just his mind using her voice, and it's still incredibly engaging.

The episode I fell in love with 12 completely. The episode I learned to fear, respect and appreciate everything that Peter had done with The Doctor over the last 2 seasons, all coming together in a tough emotional and dramatic episode. Hat's off to Peter and Steven Moffat on this one. I believe it won a few awards for it's production.... I can see why!

My favorite episode of Doctor Who! This episode is pure art

Great editing, Lono! I don't envy anyone having to edit a reaction to this episode. 👍

_There was once on a time a shepherd boy whose fame spread far and wide because of the wise answers which he gave to every question. The King of the country heard of it likewise, but did not believe it, and sent for the boy. Then he said to him, “If thou canst give me an answer to three questions which I will ask thee, I will look on thee as my own child, and thou shalt dwell with me in my royal palace.” The boy said, “What are the three questions?” The King said, “The first is, how many drops of water are there in the ocean?” The shepherd boy answered, “Lord King, if you will have all the rivers on earth dammed up so that not a single drop runs from them into the sea until I have counted it, I will tell you how many drops there are in the sea.”_ _The King said, “The next question is, how many stars are there in the sky?” The shepherd boy said, “Give me a great sheet of white paper,” and then he made so many fine points on it with a pen that they could scarcely be seen, and it was all but impossible to count them; any one who looked at them would have lost his sight. Then he said, “There are as many stars in the sky as there are points on the paper; just count them.” But no one was able to do it._ _The King said, “The third question is, how many seconds of time are there in eternity.” Then said the shepherd boy, “In Lower Pomerania is the Diamond Mountain, which is two miles and a half high, two miles and a half wide, and two miles and a half in depth; every hundred years a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on it, and when the whole mountain is worn away by this, then the first second of eternity will be over.”_ _The King said, “Thou hast answered the three questions like a wise man, and shalt henceforth dwell with me in my royal palace, and I will regard thee as my own child.”_ *-The Shepherd Boy, by Brothers Grimm*

Imagine if the Doctor wasn't being reset. He would've been over 2 billion years by now.

The moment it hits you whats been happening is both heartbreaking and inspiring!

The real reason that The Doctor couldn't see Clara's face during the whole episode, is that her back was the last thing he saw of her when she was alive. Seeing her face at the end, is a way to show that she was still alive in his mind. Being his conscious and his carer, being more than just a memory. That's sad and beautiful at the same time. I just love the complexity of their relationship

Best episode of Doctor Who is here.

Well folks, we're finally here. We're finally at one of the best, arguably _the_ best, episodes of Doctor Who ever. It's not all downhill from here, don't worry. Series 10 is good, while 11... I wouldn't say it's bad but at the same time I wouldn't say it's good. But that's a discussion for when we get there. The point is this is one of the highlights, if not _the_ highlight, of the entire show.

My absolute favourite episode of all of Doctor Who. Capaldis performance, the plot, the enemy, the music.. everything. Fantastic.

Eric: 2 Billion years?!!! Me: *Laughs in Hell Bent*

Please tell me I'm not the only one who only got the Patreon reward for this episode alone? Lol

Aaaah yes! The "Silly concept + amazing performance = WOW!"-episode!

I don't think Eric stopped smiling that entire episode. I should have realized how much he'd love Capaldi's performance.

Oh my god YES!! I'm actually tempted to pledge on Patreon so I can see the reacton to part 2! Also hyped for the christmas special! One of my favs!

I'd say this is definitely the best episode of the series thus far

If this was a movie, it would have won couple of academy awards.

My fave things about this episode - Peter Capaldi (obviously). And second, Murray Gold’s music.

I was sooo hyped seeing you guys finally get to this episode, has to be one of my favorite Who episodes.

I joined your patreon just so I could watch this specific episode. Heaven Sent is a masterpiece and Peter Capaldi was magnificent

Finally my favorite Capaldi episode. Possibly one of my favorites episodes of Doctor Who in general.

I was waiting for this. Possibly the best / inventive episode ever.

"There’s this reaction channel, and they ask their computer mouse how many seconds in eternity. And the mouse says, ‘There’s this button of plastic. It takes an hour to scroll it and an hour to click it, and every day a little reactor comes and punches his fist into the button. And when the entire button is chiseled away, the first second of eternity will have passed.’ You may think that’s a hell of a long time. Personally, I think that’s a hell of a button."

my favourite episode of doctor who EVER out of all classic who and new who this is the best episode. my doctor and my era. glad you guys loved it as well :D

My favorite ep ever. Love it love him

You know, it's not till evenly that I figured I watch this mostly for Calvin. Granted, all of yall are amazing. But my heart belongs to Calvin

This was such a low key reaction, I feel like such an idiot for allowing myself to be blue balled to this extent 😂

can't wait for the next episode, one of my absolute favs

But did the Doctor say “The Hybrid is me” (referring to himself) or did he say “The Hybrid is Me” (referring to Ashildr)? I forget whether the DVD subtitles capitalized the word “me” or not. Also, I have seen at least one reviewer give THIS episode a low score and the NEXT episode a high score.

The ending of the video LMAOOOOO that's why I always watch Blind Wave videos to the last second

“The Hybrid is Me” I love the double meaning there. Could be the Doctor. Could be Ashildr aka Me.

12 doctor waited 2 billion years but he only has memory of the last time, Rory had to wait 2,000 consecutive years watching a box

My favourite episode od Doctor Who ever! Everything was so perfect, I remember being in a complete shock after this episode. Peter Capaldi at his finest!

You have to give Peter a LOT of credit for this one. What is it? Fifty minutes per episode? And he spends most of those 50 minutes alone, besides a few brief moments. One actor, fifty minutes, awesome episode.

In my opinion, this is the best Doctor Who episode, I've been waiting for this reaction since you guys started watching Doctor Who. On the point about the Doctor being a copy, they kind of handwave this as a Timelord thing but the doctor after figuring out the Bird thing upon seeing the Azbantium wall says to Clara that he remembers, right then. It sort of acts for a trigger for him and he remembers (somehow) all the other lives he's spent punching down that wall to get to Gallifrey.

Best episode of the last few years. I was waiting for this reaction

I didn't even start the video and I liked it. This episode is that powerful

This is, by far, one of the All-Time greatest Doctor Who episodes of all time, and one of the best hours of television EVER. It is simply masterful in every way. The music is HAUNTING, the plot and high concept are ASTOUNDING! And Peter Capaldi proves he EARNED the role. This is PEAK DOCTOR WHO.

The "Me" at the end is supposed to be Ashildr.

THIS IS THE EPISODE WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!

I think that might be Blind Wave’s best ending skit I’ve seen yet, even better than the one where Eric accidentally kills Aaron and screams “My boy!!!!!”. Good job guys, and good job Eric.

The Greatest episode of this show,and one of the greatest of any tv show with Ozydamandias, International Assassin or Everyone`s Waiting.

when you have watched every blind wave reaction the first second of eternity will have passed

This was the one episode I've been looking forward to seeing you guys react to the most, as you can probably tell in the comments that this is arguably one of the most popular episodes of Nu Who (It's my personal favorite). As great as Eccleston, Tennant, and Smith are (I'm not counting Whitaker in this, so as just to talk about those who have played the Doctor that you guys have all seen), I don't feel any of them could necessarily carry a full episode this well on their own. This episode really wouldn't have worked out as well if it had been anyone else, as Capaldi nailed it so perfectly. And I'm in agreement with the music. Even though the main theme used first appeared in Day of the Doctor when the three Doctors are coming up with the plan to freeze Gallifrey, it's become very synonymous with the 12th. Love that Eric put two and two together when he did as far as what's going on in the castle with the copies. I've known some just not really pay that much attention to the clothes at the fireplace and only put the pieces together during Capaldi's death monologue. It begs the question though, why was there a change of clothes there initially? For there always to be a set of clothes for the next copy to come and change into, while leaving their old set to dry, that means that the first one to arrive had to change into something.

The Doctor was in the Time War with the time lords vs the daleks, so in a roundabout way of saying he was the hybrid

And we just watched the best piece of media Doctor Who has ever produced.

Now that they've seen most of this season, I really hope they can do a reaction or review of The Holy Terror. I'd love to hear their thoughts on it.

if the doctor was dead in a way because of this episode, he died long before that. this is no different from a regular teleport, so any time he's teleported in the past he would have died if that's how you interpret it. the reason it works it because when you teleport, it puts your data into the machine, and "prints" it on the other end. the print being used is the exact same, absolutely nothing is changing each time. so, if doing it this much makes him dead "in a way", then so does any regular teleport.

one of the castles they used to film this episode is in the middle of the town i live in

this and the next episode. the peaks of the show. it would be no shame for any programme if they never topped these two episodes. the writing, acting, music, directing... it's all at it's peak in this and hell bent. beautiful stuff.

Best who and one of the best thing in tv history.

The best thing about the hybrid thing is that it is what you want it to be. Whether it is what the Doctor claims, or something else, there's no real explanation and you can instead believe what you wish and you're still right.

These episodes are insane ❤️

And here we go!

This is one of my all time favorite episodes

This. I have been waiting for this for so long 😍

One of my favorite episodes in the whole series! Peter Capaldi is amazing

The "After Credits Scene"? Hilarious!! 😂
