I love The Toymaker being insulted by the notion that he would cheat, he took that very personally.

[GenericName]

You know, the Doctor realizing he can invoke "best of three" if he loses is kinda genius. It basically guarantees he survives this round and gets a second chance

[RonMotta]

I love how the Toymaker’s face just falls as he knows that the Doctor knows his one weakness. “I challenge you to a game.”

[OctoStar]

I love how offended the Toymaker got when Donna said he would cheat, and even the Doctor defended him.
Neil Patrick Harris was the best part of the specials, I hope we see him again soon.

[Isiliel]

I just adore Donna's "I'm already running!" She knows exactly how this all goes down, every time.

[Tharries]

"I made a jigsaw out of your history, did you like it?" Such a great way of explaining away the Doctor's contradictory origins.

[LordAzimar]

I really hope we don’t have to wait another 57 years to see this guy again. “Turned galaxies into spinning tops, gambled with God and turned him into a jack in the box” BADASS

[Xoguran]

"That is someone else's game" did send chills down my spine. What is so terrifying, so mighty, that even the Toymaker didn't want to play with it and ran away?

[WhoisPersona]

It's a rather genius twist that despite being capable of literally anything the Toymaker is bound by the rules of the game and what's even more frightening is that his powers are not constrained to his dimension as he manipulated reality with ease inside of Unit HQ. The only way to beat him is fair and square.

[TheJengshoun]

This is the doctor who we've been missing, the music, the acting and the sheer amount of pressure we're under as two titans fight with a pack of cards, the respect each of them have for the other when Donna says the toymake will cheat and they both disagree immediately also when the toymaker lists his accomplishments, it sent shivers down my spine.

[captainchaos]

I love the Toymaker's barely restrained rage when Tenant invokes best of 3. He knows The Doctor has him beat by his own rules and it frustrates him to no end to be denied his prize

[garyking]

I love how at 2:22, when the Toymaker cuts his deck and gets the King, the image on there references the Toymaker's original look from when the Doctor and the Toymaker were against each other in 1966.

[Nick.t.S]

I’d like a clip of the scene before this part. That was a great scene, how The Doctor tries to compartmentalize all the other losses of his companions followed with The Toymaker dropping his accent to cut through with a cold hard “Well that’s all right then!”

You could see Tennant breaking every time. That was fantastic acting.

[FeganFloop]

I love how offended the toymaker is when donna implied he might cheat. He just says "no" and then looks donna up and down judgingly and says "shame" 😂

[DoctorJedi]

My favourite part Is how, whilst they play the game, the toymaker drops all the pretences and outrageous accents, he treats the doctor like a true opponent, with an almost chivalric air, yet the exact second he thinks he's victorious, the pantomime is back, only for it to fall away as his triumph is underrmined, superb acting and writing to balance the absurdity with a performance that echoes michael gough.

plus congrats to russel on finding the master another seeming impenertrable bind to get out of

[danielsanderson]

I think the bi regeneration happens because of what happens at 2:49. The contract for third game is set within the rules of play with the 14th doctor. So when the Toymaker tries to kill 14 with the gun he violates the contract he made with 14. Meaning 14 stays because he is still bound by the rules of play.

[PyroDay]

Did anyone else notice the subtle gratitude the toymaker showed the doctor for explaining he'd never cheat?

These nuances are just one of the things that make NPH the perfect toymaker

[ASS-tbmq]

I absolutely love the foreshadowing here The Toymaker teased a big future villain for the Doctor and also the return of the Master

[keegan]

By far my most favourite part of the episode. It’s so powerful and just shows travelling with the doctor isn’t always as wonderful as it seems. Plus a nice call back to Moffat’s era.

0:50 That set of teeth looks like how an Ai would draw a mouth. Uncanny Valley at its finest
