History YMMV / DoctorWhoS27E10TheDoctorDances

* OnceOriginalNowOverdone: The EverybodyLives moment is arguably less awesome than it used to be, as in subsequent stories having seemingly dead characters miraculously recover became a Creator/StevenMoffat staple. "Just this once" in particular rings hollow nowadays.

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: The EverybodyLives moment is arguably less awesome than it used to be, as in subsequent stories having seemingly dead characters miraculously recover became a Creator/StevenMoffat staple. "Just this once" in particular rings hollow nowadays.

* ValuesDissonance: Nancy blackmails Mr. Lloyd for having it on with the butcher in wartime London. This was a time when homosexuality could get you sent to prison.

* FridgeLogic: The nanogenes must at least understand that humanity is divided into genders. We hope. [[FridgeHorror Otherwise they might have doing more changes to people than the episode lets on.]]
** They seemed to know something wasn't working right, as they fixed everything as soon as Nancy hugged Jamie, giving them a proper template to compare him against. [[WildMassGuessing Maybe]] all the seeming supernatural stuff (connecting to speakers, telephones, typewriters, etc.) were just the nanogenes trying to find someone related to check their work against. Or maybe that's a designed feature to avoid this sort of thing.
** Although the Doctor is completely floored when the nanogenes start repairing Jamie, he'd clearly been banking on ''something'' happening when the kid got close to Nancy since he'd just told her that the future of the human race depended on it. [[FridgeHorror Was he just planning on sacrificing her to the virus in order to get the zombies to stop attacking?]]
* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
** Doctor Constantine flatly asking an old woman if she "miscounted" her missing leg in the commotion of the war, in an attempt to cover for the Doctor's nanogenes.
** The Doctor warding off the gas-mask people by acting like an angry parent and telling them to go to their room.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments ''The entire ending'', where Nancy admits that Jamie is her son and embraces him, saying "I will always be your mummy", which allows the nanogenes to figure out that they've accidentally got human biology wrong using Nancy's genetic code and restore all the gas-mask zombies back to normal. The Doctor is so overwhelmed that even he sounds like he's on the verge of happy tears.
* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: "EverybodyLives, Rose. Just this once... '''''EVERYBODY LIVES!'''''" Widely regarded as one of the Ninth Doctor's most awesome moments. Doubles as a SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoment. It's sometimes noted, especially with Jamie's revival, that this is one of the few episodes with a ''negative'' death count, and might be the only one to do so without everyone futzing about with time and alternate realities.
* NightmareFuel: Jamie and the nanogene [[TheVirus virus]] he spread. A pretty creepy moment appears when the kids are protesting Nancy's allegation that her presence is putting them in danger. Nancy answers, "You think I'm not dangerous? Tom is sitting over there by you. Who has been typing?" It's a "remote controlling of the machine" thing, but... Brrr.
** Also, the Doctor, Rose, and Jack listening to the tape saying "Are you my mummy" over and over again...until they realize ''the tape has already run out.''
-->'''The Doctor:''' I sent it to its room. ''This is its room.''

* TearJerker: Some of the civilian Londoners' experiences during German air raids, particularly Nancy's. Of note is Nancy's [[ArbitrarySkepticism difficulty accepting that Rose and the Doctor are time travelers from the future]]. Time travelers? Sure, why not? From the ''future?'' She points at the London skyline, with bursts of flak and barrage balloons and German bombers trying to level the city. [[DespairEventHorizon What future?]]

* HarsherInHindsight: Jack's offhand remark about Pompeii on "Volcano Day" becomes this when the Doctor happened to arrive on said [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E2TheFiresofPompeii Volcano Day]].

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The red bicycle comment was what remained of a story where Jack Harkness discovered that the Doctor had gone back in time and manipulated Rose's life to make her a better companion.
