Doctor Who 2023

[mystic pyjamas]

That was bloody good.

 

[ruffneck23]

I enjoyed it a lot, like the new doc.

And 'Mavity' was mentioned... intriguing.

 

[Balbi]

Why did he call Ruby Rose on the conveyor belt song. A mistake?

He called her Rubes. I think.

 

[danny la rouge]

He called her Rubes. I think.

That’s what I thought. But I’ll be watching again soon!

 

[Boris Sprinkler]

What the fuck have I just watched ?

 

[danny la rouge]

What the fuck have I just watched ?

The greatest thing ever.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

I have been told that it was not shit, which frankly is the most I hoped for.

 

[Boris Sprinkler]

It had strong influence from Star Wars, Gremlins and Labyrinth.

ETA. And Cats.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Even so.

ETA: even so.

 

[DotCommunist]

I've not watched any of the new srs yet, I may go for a marathon during the perineum.

 

[xsunnysuex]

He called her Rubes. I think.

Just watched again. Still sounds like Rose to me.

 

[Epona]

Just watched again. Still sounds like Rose to me.

I need to watch it again to check but I watch everything with subtitles - has anyone checked what the subtitles say?
If not I will do so tomorrow.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Subbies say Rubes

 

[xsunnysuex]

Yep it's Rubes.

The monsters were silly. This programme was simply not taking itself seriously.

All upbeat and positive a more touchy feely doctor, good vibes. Bodes well for the future, though the goblin stuff was just rubbish.

I bet they weren't the silliest of even new who, let alone old who. I need to catch up to see exactly how silly on the Kandyman scale

 

[Nine Bob Note]

It was on xmas and it was fun. Thumbs up

Anita Dobson ending a big xmas show without being served divorce papers

 

[8ball]

I didn't really like it at all

Nobody reacted to anything in a realistic way and the emotional beats felt very much unearned.

Come on, you’ve seen Doctor Who before surely!

I am anticipating some interesting discussions on the adoption/fostering sites I frequent.

I personally felt it was handled very well though possibly triggering because of Ruby looking for her birth parents. A small boy's hand did snake it's way into mine just after that point.

You’ve made me realise the whole thing is just a rip off of Star Wars: The force awakens.

Abandoned child flies off in an old spaceship with a black dude.

 

[danny la rouge]

We have to wait until May.

 

[8ball]

We have to wait until May.

David Tennant filling in in the meantime?

 

[danny la rouge]

David Tennant filling in in the meantime?

Not according to RTD.

I liked that he made the gloves rather than them being a gift from the fucking TARDIS or some other shite. His nicking them or them being a gift from a pal is also acceptable.

The Doctor was likeable but came across as being very physically fit but not particularly bright for the character. The sonic was shit. Never felt any peril. "Waiting for my life to begin" is from Tangled. Song an episode is it? The second part of the Goblin song was shit. Would have been better if only Ruby singing on her own initiative as established as a band member. The scene after the Goblins altered history was the strongest part of the episode though the doctor was the worst thing in the scene. I had thought at first he was talking about the Nobles when he mentioned adoption but it was Timeless Child bobbins. I prefer the Doctor as a clever tinkerer not a super fit athlete solving problems with catch and sing songs. Kind of enjoyed it in the way I enjoy watching the likes of Frozen with my daughter but that shit already exists. I want something different from Doctor Who.

Guess Christopher Ecclestone is a long shot too.

 

[danny la rouge]

Well, he’s thawed towards the franchise, but unfortunately all the people he hates are back running the show, so no.

 

[danny la rouge]

not particularly bright for the character.

The First Doctor was actually not very sharp at all. He was bumbling, fluffed his lines, and was actually pretty indecisive. And often took holidays for several episodes during a serial.

The real Action Doctor was Three. He had a cape, a Batmobile, his own martial art, and pulled comedy faces when being strangled by rubber tentacles in cliffhangers. Three was my first doctor (I remember Two, but only briefly. Three was the one I took to).

I love Fifteen. He’s charismatic, handsome, and wears a kilt when dancing. As opposed to saying “now listen here, old boy” and enjoying a glass of port in a frilly shirt and velvet smoking jacket. That was very 70s.

I wrote and deleted another line mentioning Trougton as a counterpoint. The first evolved and got more on it especially after Ian left from what I have seen.

As I said likeable. I just prefer the brains over brawn idea of the Doctor but then not too much brains! I'm very fussy.

 

[8ball]

Just realised my earliest memories of the third Doctor must have been repeats because Tom Baker became the Doctor the year I was born.

Anyhoo, thought some here might enjoy this:
