Not loving the gory bits though, doctor basically kissed a mutilated dead body at the end there…

Yeah, those things were pretty gross. I couldn't stop wondering what they felt like...

It's still not as bad as we've had in the past (looking at you, love and monsters) at least they're not suffering endlessly.

Were you seeing it as a sort of squished body? I thought that from the beginning but then I realised the body was in a jar and that made it less creepy to me.

Might just be me there though.

The way the Doc described it, I definitely saw it as a squished body with a metal base.

There was a bit where he tapped it and you could see it was surrounded by glass, then the metal bit was a screw lid. Not sure really why that's less creepy but up to then I was cringing every time he touched the eye.
