Just so you know
Some information in the article is incorrect but I can't say what because of the stupid spoiler rule. 213.123.3.22talk to me 19:58, July 1, 2017 (UTC)

Infoxbox image
This is just my opinion, but I don't feel that the current infobox image best reflects the events of the episode. The snow scene only took place during the last five minutes. I don't know what everyone else thinks, but is there a better image to represent this episode, perhaps of events which took place on floor 0507? 66 Seconds ☎ 22:34, July 1, 2017 (UTC)
- It depends on our options. First, we have to assess what the big things were which were The Doctor falling (as the current image displays) Bill's departure (the A plot) the battle on Floor 0507 and the Masters personal fight (the B plot). So far, the current image is the best we have I feel as it showcases the Doctor not only physically on his knees, which indicates the falling aspect, but he is also regenerating, a further display of that as he is dying. Perhaps an image of Bill cradling the Doctor as that encompasses the two main parts of this episode? Personally, the Masters felt secondary so I don't feel they'd be best appropriate as the focus for the image (they got that in the last episode). Just my 2 cents.

- Yeah, my main concern when adding this image was removing the promotional image from the infobox, so I went a bit literal from the episode's title. However, if there is a good image that depicts the battle with the Cybermen, I agree that could also be a good option for the infobox. I also agree that the Master wasn't as important to the plot as the Operation Exodus or even the Doctor beggining to regerate, so we probably should not have them in the infobox.

- The snow image will never be a suitable image for the episode, as it is clearly just set up for the following story. It even appears that the end was shot later.
- The image of the 12th Doctor talking to the Masters is currently out best bet, because that scene is where the title of the episode comes from in the first place. Moreover, it's easily the most memorable moment. OS25 (Talk) 23:08, July 1, 2017 (UTC)
- That is subjective, people remembers bits more prominently than others. Snivystorm ☎ 23:17, July 1, 2017 (UTC)

Here, this image surely is the most suitable out of what we have. OS25 (Talk) 23:11, July 1, 2017 (UTC)
- I concur, it displays the two most prominent part of the episodes and is a climatic moment. Perhaps the one where Bill cradles the Doctor from the wreckage could be a candidates? Snivystorm ☎ 23:17, July 1, 2017 (UTC)
- Going quickly through the episode, those were the three images I found that I believe could better summarise the story:
- Choice #1 because it shows the "fall" of the Doctor (a theme which began with the opening scene of World Enough and Time and was shown a bit earlier in the episode as well (on the forest, right before the Doctor and Bill meet Missy and the Master)
- Choice #2 because it shows both the original model of the Cybermen, and the more upgraded ones
- Choice #3 because it shows a Cyberman attacking the Doctor (though I don't think this one is that good, because we don't even see the Doctor's face) OncomingStorm12th ☎ 23:14, July 1, 2017 (UTC)
