          One of the best quotes I heard about the sonic (I forget who said it) was that it should never be used in the second half of the episode. It’s for opening doors and getting the Doctor into trouble, not for getting them back out of it again.

    I love the inclusion of the Rwandan proverb translated into Gallifreyan. It’s a really cool way to portray homage to the Doctor’s character while also including non-Western influences.

    As to the design of the screwdriver itself, I quite miss the old cylindrical design. I’m sure it’ll be fine in action though.

    I think the design is really cool. The only other one that really stood out to me was Matt Smith’s because it was such a chonker. I know this one will always be instantly recognizable.

      Should be interesting to see how this is used. He made a point to show it has a USB type connection. You just know this will be something they have to show off.

    Groan.

    The Second Doctor’s sonic screwdriver… removed screws and put them back. Sonically. Couldn’t we please just go back to that?
