Breathe in…breathe out. Yes, that just happened. Get some fresh air, then come back so we can talk about Jamie Mathieson’s latest story.
You can read our review of ‘Oxygen’ here, but we want to know what you think. So we’ve (not) held our breath and exposed ourselves to the vacuum of Twitter to get your reactions.
From the opening line, the Star Trek fans were happy.
@bbcdoctorwho Yes the Doctor is a Trekkie, squad goals. ? #DoctorWho

Doctor Who delivers the best Borg episode of Star Trek in twenty years.#DoctorWho

The banter between Nardole and the Doctor got a few laughs.

I'd rather have K 9 back than 'Nardole' – what's that about? #DoctorWho

Nardole is me in every situation, I'm such a wimp #DoctorWho

A lot of folk drew comparisons to an earlier episode.

Dead people in space suits is reminds me of an earlier Tennant ep Silence in The Library #DoctorWho

Don't like spacesuits on #DoctorWho …will they be counting the shadows too?

As well as some other elements of the Whoniverse.
You'd have to convince me this wasn't a Cyberman story at some stage.#DoctorWho

And the Doctor’s comments on capitalism didn’t go unremarked…
This is like communist propaganda with a hint of the lorax #DoctorWho

Well done to #DrWho for discussing evil side of capitalism in a humorous and yet terrifying way #DoctorWho just made a huge social statement

Is Darren from the same species as Dorien Malcovar (the big blue guy from the 11th Doctor's era). #DoctorWho

The Doctor’s blindness raised some eyebrows.
They've made The Doctor blind? That's a bold direction for the show… #DoctorWho
— Shaun2k5 (@Shaun2k5) May 13, 2017
Not bad for a blind man. All that is missing is a guide K9. #DoctorWho
— Kim Milward: The Lady With The Dog (@kimnmilward) May 13, 2017
They used an unedited shot in the trailer, so we wouldn 't know the Doctor was blind in that shot. #DoctorWho

And everyone’s ready for next week!
Well #DoctorWho #Oxygen has left me breathless
