Ends with Benefits (HOT TAKE: "The Reality War")
Season 6 Episode 17
How do you stick the landing for a story about a fake world that’s made of wishes? You let your villain shine, sprinkle in some glorious cameos, and insert a twist that dials the emotional resonance to 11. Somehow, between all the fourth-wall-breaking and nonsensical plot twists, Russell T. Davies wraps up Ncuti Gatwa’s second season of Doctor Who in a way that does more than satisfy—it slaps. Not every plot thread gets fully explored, but the ones that matter actually make sense(!) and are revealing about the characters we care about. And there’s fun to be had, too! Come with us as we unpack everything (including that surprise ending) and declare victory for The Reality War.
