First, we have no firm evidence that the Toymaker is in any way connected to the events of this story. At this point, it's merely a theory, and we won't know for certain for a little over a week.
Second...you couldn't have put all of that in one post? You had to spread it between three?
On mobile, the GUI is a bit clunky, especially for editing previous posts, IMO. I've posted something and then wanted to reply to other posts but couldn't find an easy way to add it all to my last post, so I've just created a new reply. Not really a huge problem though.
Multiversal Sir Issac Newton is half-Indian and discovered "mavity"...
The best part of this episode:
Wilf! I knew his actor had died; so I thought he wouldn't be included. I thought the bit about him last episode was just them not wanting to kill the character off despite the actor not being around. But my god, seeing him at the end of the episode is SUCH a joy, knowing that Bernard got to reprise his role one last time before death. That really makes this whole reunion complete; with how big a part of things he was.
Really gave me vibes of the 'Midnight' Entity, which was also creepy as hell and operated kind of similarly.
It reminded me a bit of "Event Horizon" meets "The Thing" for kids.
Also, my Japanese friend did some of the translation work for the anime below.
So thinking more on the episode beyond "wow that was ******* creepy" I do have to say I really am loving how its been like 15 years but Donna still is just like... just Donna. like in all the best ways. Donna was always one of my favorite companions. She wasn't there swooning over the Doctor wanting to get into his timey wimeys, shes just a bestie and shes down to clown if said clowning needs to happen.
I think its why I like Bill, Amy, and Rory so much too. I mean yes Amy does have this thing with the doctor for a while but it pretty much goes away after she gets her relationship with Rory sorted out. Mostly they just are there to go on adventures and be clever in their own ways.
But yeah. Its sad there is only one more special to go, because honestly I've missed Donna. She always felt like 10's iconic companion.

Honestly, I'd be shocked if the damage from the Flux wasn't somehow undone by the end of the next special.
I'll be seeing the new run on Dailymotion on Sundays so I'll watch it there rather than blow 15 bucks a month just for Doctor Who.
I like Doctor Who but not 15 bucks a month worth just for that.
Disney + would have to have a ton of stuff up I'd want to see to justify the service.

Or you could pay 5 dollars a month and access the BBC iPlayer via a DNS/VPN service? Mind you, the iPlayer doesn't always work properly...
Regarding the damage caused by the Flux: The Master destroys a good portion of the universe in Logopolis, and it was never repaired.
Yeah, but it also got more of a reaction from the characters. At least RTD is having the Doctor acknowledge his trauma about the whole mess.
I'm wondering if we could see a sort of universal timeline reset of sorts when the 15th Doctor starts his run.
All the stuff up to The Giggle would be considered an alternate timeline as we ended up with in the 11th Star Trek movie. (Kelvin movie 1)
I was also thinking of X 5 First Class which was an alternate timeline of sorts.
