There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

Really enjoyed this episode, the best by far, mildly disappointed it's Missy in the vault. The only thing that took me out of the immersion was the dynamite sticks at CERN, I immediately thought "what the hell?" 1) where and why would CERN scientists get and have dynamite sticks? 2) They are CERN for heavens sake, they have the Large Hadron Collider, they make minute black holes and collide objects into each other at the speed of light, I'm pretty certain they could have come up with some cool way to commit mass suicide that didn't involve sticks of dynamite. I've known a couple of scientists and knocking up some dynamite over a few drinks sounds exactly the sort of thing they'd do.

If Magnus was here he'd swear it's the War Chief/ & Monk in the vault. Arh, alas poor Magnus whatever happened to him? Didn't he end up on Terserus?

Pointless speculation
1 the zomonks... monkbies. .. they open their mouth and words come out... like old school cyber men out of their suits
Or
2 oh look. A prymid. Osyran worshipers?
They do have a mummy feel.
Also... dumb question.
Why does the veritas exist?
It's a simulation. A copy of our world. Does it exist here?
Probably not. So... it predates the church.
It's v old.. . And logically dates from the SWITCH on...
So where's it from? How does the simulation know about the doctor and his ... doings... all of them?

The existence of the Veritas in the simulation os one of the worst plot holes. I assumed it meant the simulation was more than a thousand years old and the veritas was written by a simulation who was able somehow to see the truth. If the simulation was new, why on earth would the veritas have been created within it. Even so, why didn't they just destroy the book. Also if the simulation has been running for a thousand years, now could be judged to be the ideal time to launch the invasion because for the first time the Doctor is weakened by his blindness.

I have a theory about the existence of the Veritas itself: I think it's a failsafe designed to prove to the operators that what they are occupying is the simulation. Like writing "THIS IS A FAKE" on the Mona Lisa.

If it's been 1000 years...
We really would have been easier to defeat 1000 years ago...

These are clearly very patient aliens, sitting waiting for him to become vulnerable. Or it's Moffat plotting, looks clever, but falls apart on closer inspection.

What if the Veritas is a proposed idea for the invasion? In the real universe, the invaders go back in time, plant the book, put a psychic field around it that makes those reading it think of the required numbers, and now the whole planet's wiped itself out! No invasion necessary.

I've seen some odd criticism of the bedroom scene online. Okay, I'm gay and I'm not trying to police anyone's experience....but it was funny, yes? It's okay to laugh at our past anixeties?

Eh, I think it was specific to this episode. On Saturday, the real terror begins....
