This is a post-UK broadcast review of Doctor Who: The Pyramid at the End of the World. River Song always warned the Doctor against spoilers, so be sure to watch the episode first. Doctor Who, season 10, airs on Saturdays at 7:45pm UK time on BBC One, and 9pm EDT on BBC America.
A hungover and reckless scientist, the Monks demanding consent to take over Earth, bio-hazard alerts, a Doomsday countdown, and the world’s army leaders agreeing to give peace a chance—surely the Doctor, Bill, and Nardole are still trapped in a computer simulation, right?
We’re none the wiser at the conclusion of The Pyramid at the End of the World—the midway point of Steven Moffat’s trilogy of episodes that explore the idea that we might just be living in a simulated universe.
