Critics Consensus

"The Pyramid at the End of the World" manages to fill the middle gap of a three-episode arc with thoughtful monologues and needed cliffhanger.

5/5

The stakes on Doctor Who are at an excruciating high, with the Monks seemingly unstoppable. It's as if demons from the mind of Clive Barker were suddenly in charge of Earth. Next week's episode should be pure madness.

We're just past the midpoint of the season, which makes this a very interesting time for the Doctor, Bill, and Nardole (sniffle) to go through this sort of arc -- something we usually tend to see come season finale time.

The rest of the episode is mostly just unobjectionably decent, which isn't the worst thing to sit through for five minutes of utter brilliance.

[It] is an engaging middle chapter, confidently told, that glides over its sillier aspects in the pursuit of portents of doom. It chimes with me.

"The Pyramid at the End of the World"'s escalation in its last fifteen minutes more than made up for the fact that two thirds of its run time was a bit ponderous getting there.

Showing just how conniving the monks are, this episode is a reminder of how much power humans have.
