Babies were eaten in the Church on Ruby Road. Lulubelle was almost eaten. Ruby was eaten and then the doctor reversed it. But it was also established that before the events of the episode the goblins went around eating babies. Schoolchildren were eaten in School Reunion.

As ridiculous as a snot monster might be, it did give him a chance to save a strange creature instead of killing it.

I love this episode so much, as an adoptee, the adoption representation is just so heartwarming and brilliant. When the Timeless Child reveal happened, some people said they didn’t like the fact that the Doctor was no longer a real Gallifreyan, which is something adoptees hear too often, sometimes non-adoptees ask us about our “real parents” in reference to our birth parents, suggesting that our adoptive parents aren’t our real parents, but I’ve said many times, which Russell recently repeated in an interview, that the Doctor is still a Gallifreyan, depending on the experience, to be an adoptee is to become the family you’ve been adopted into, like when I was adopted into my family I became a part of them, and it’s the same with the Doctor, while they’re not native to Gallifrey, they were adopted into the planet and culture, so became a Gallifreyan, and that makes them no less of a Gallifreyan than if they were a native. Same with the 1st Doctor’s Gallifreyan family, while the Timeless Child makes them his adoptive family and not birth family, they’re still his real family, as Graham said in Resolution (2019) family isn’t just about DNA or a name, it’s about what you do. Like how all of the Doctor’s companions are their real family.

Series 14. Having watched the first two (or three, depending on how you count them) episodes, I can see the argument for 1, because the universe/genre has changed from soft sci fi to magical and we don't know when it will change back. Or if, I suppose, but it probably will be the first thing some new showrunner of the future does if it doesn't happen under RTD. So it is kind of a reboot in that sense. But at this point we're at 40/14/1, so . . .

You know you're getting old when your favourite show is available on streaming at midnight and you still wait until 6:30 (GMT) in the evening to see it, because it's what you've always done. But glad I did. We've been waiting for this to drop for so long that I was starting to become pretty jaded by it all. Some parts were obviously a variation on what we've seen before (the opening was a fun riff on the beginning of 'End of the World' - and it's hard not to compare the literal Bogeyman to the sleep monster in, er, 'Sleep No More'), but this fairytale aspect RTD is gunning for gives it a different spin. Not sure what I think about our hero deliberately making the kids cry at one point, but I do like how this story inverted 9's 'Everybody dies' mentality at the start of Series 1 (or whatever they're calling that now). 15 looks like he can't bear to lose anyone. So maybe the therapy is not as complete as he likes to think.

The prior knowledge point is valid - I would also point out that there's a throwaway reference at the start that is, from your perspective, a spoiler - but the other thing the show now has to do is strike a balance between the clued-up domestic audience and the smaller but wider one outside of British territories. It is hard not to see the shutdown of community resources for parents in the UK (leaving, tellingly, an accountant in charge) as an inspiration for this story, for instance. And it's nice that this new era kicks off with a sense of looking after the next generation. The causes don't have to be translated for another country. It's the underlying point that strikes home.

The snot monster struck me as coming from the same idea as the Meep, but in reverse: you can't always tell from the outset who the Monster really is. (BTW, was the Nanny played by the same actress who plays Queen Charlotte in Bridgerton? Or where have I seen her?)
