"Heaven Sent" is interesting in that it is the exact opposite of a time loop! >!In that, time doesn't loop, and it's the Doctor himself that's reset between each 'loop'!<
This tripped me up on first watch, because I thought it was a time loop episode, but realised that that would create some plot holes >!If it was a time loop episode, then everything would reset, and thus the whole point of bashing the diamond wouldn't make sense!<
But it's explicitly not a time loop, and therefore certain observations change between each loop >!(gradually over time, the stars change postions)!< which is how he realises each time he's looping.

Reply to comment by RealJonathanBronco in TIL John Batman was the founder of the town that became Melbourne, Australia. And originally he called it "Batmania". There's even a street named after him: Batman Ave. by idiocrites
You could say that Alfred is Batman's batman.

Possibly; however, nothing prepared me for Marius' unbelievable badass arrival at the barricade! Here's this boy, moping, unable to make a decision about anything, upon arriving at the barricade sees Enjolras about to get bayonetted at one end of the barricade and Gavroche similarly at the other end. In one motion Marius pulls out two duelling pistols (fisticuffs) Javert(!) gave him 100 pages ago for something completely different and, guns akimbo, kills the two soldiers threatening his friends.
I loved it, it just comes completely out of nowhere and is almost anachronistic in that I'd expect that out of an 80s action movie. If a remake included it, it would be ridiculed as making Marius an action hero.
