Trivia
Ruby's fear of stepping on a butterfly and the butterfly that the Doctor revives are a reference to Ray Bradbury's short story "A Sound of Thunder", in which a time traveler travels into the past and, by stepping on a butterfly, changes the future in terrifying ways. The story was published in 1953 in the book "The Golden Apples of the Sun".

Goofs
The Doctor mentions that he was left alone in the middle of outer space and was taken in by the Time Lords. In the Timeless Child story arc, the Doctor is a foundling adopted by Tecteun, who was Shobogan, a species native to Gallifrey before the advent of time travel on the planet and before the rise of the Time Lords.

Quotes
Ruby Sunday: Is that a monster?
The Doctor: No. No, don't be silly, Ruby. There's no such thing as monsters - there's just... Just creatures you haven't met yet.

The only way is up.....I hope !

Disappointing start to the new season, boggies and fart jokes dont really cut it for me. I had high expectations and wanted to really like it, but a poor opening to the season.

The doctor and Ruby have good chemistry just suffered from a poor script and lame jokes, joking for more from ep 2 and the rest of the season.

Lots of money coming in from Disney but needs to be put into better scripts and jot just thr special effects, which were great, but they never really made doctor who the storylines did.

The bringing on of Disney viewers to the whoniverse was great and best part of the episode, of course I'll be back for more and see how it goes ....
