out of all of the performers who have played the Doctor since the 2005 revival, it's pretty clear that the standout fan-favorite is David Tennant, who brought a nervy and electrifying energy to the character as the Tenth Doctor and the Fourteenth Doctor, respectively.
Everything Bundle has accomplished is substantive and worthy of celebration, but in the course of learning who she can trust and foiling the theft of Dr. Matip's formula, she's lost Jimmy and Loraine, who represented her one remaining connection to Gerry.

Worse still, Bundle realizes that she's never really been enough for her mother.
We spend one-third of our lives asleep. This biological fact is something that, with time and technology, is less and less taken for granted. In many science fiction stories, the future of sleep is cozy and idyllic - an elevated state living within dream world.
