Doctor Who - The Well
An unexpected callback to a David Tennant episode, "The Well" deposits The Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) takes Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu) on a foreign world in the far future where a group of soldiers is investigating what went wrong with all the workers who appear to have gone mad leaving only one hearing-impaired miner (Rose Ayling-Ellis) left alive. Easily the creepiest episode of Who's run on Disney+, "The Well" plays on several classic tropes involving gun-totting soliders jumping to the wrong conclusion while The Doctor slowly works through what is hiding behind Aliss (Ayling-Ellis) and how it ties back to his first visit to the world in "Midnight."
Along with the hologram pads allowing for easier communication with Aliss, the creature which we (smartly) never get a direct look at, the miners and soldiers meeting some bad ends, and the continued strong production design of the season, the episode is also notable for another appearance by Mrs. Flood (Anita Dobson), the noble sacrifice of Shaya Costallion (Caoilfhionn Dunne), and Belinda discovering the history of Earth seems to have vanished leaving the questions of what occurred, and why the pair can't return to proper time and place to prevent it, to be solved.
