what happens
Rose requests a trip back to the day her father, Pete Tyler, died. Reluctantly, the Doctor agrees, but he realises he has made a mistake, when Rose saves Pete from being run over by a car. This has now changed the timeline, and Reapers are transposing themselves all over the Universe. However, this time, the Doctor doesn't have a plan…

how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Read from 25 comments — 16 said when.
The number holds — it is read from every comment. The shape is not settled: only 16 said when something happened, and below 20 the same evidence split in half draws two different pictures. Drawn faint for that reason.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

- height
- how intense it got, 0–100
- gold above
- how tender it felt. violet below — what it cost. Thick on both at once means it was doing both.
- tension rail
- how much was still unresolved
- grey haze
- how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it
what people actually wrote
Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.
“the s2 finale to finally reveal that Mrs Flood is just a batty old woman whose dementia causes her to occasionally make ominous speeches and address an invisible camera.”
