Doctor Who 2024 - News, views, spin-offs

[PR1Berske]

I watched Boom earlier.

Thoughts:
1. It's a much stronger episode overall than the first two.
2. It's also very 'old Who', just a handful of cast members in a single space. If you're not entirely satisfied with 'succeed through the power of friendship' plots, prepare for that
3. Ruby as yet another Rose/Clara situation now looks confirmed. Oh and remember 'They killed Rory!'. That's back.
4. This is the episode that shows why Ncuti was cast. There are flashes of other Doctors while being entirely himself while the rhyme he repeats could be a suggestion of something from the very beginning

Yeah, fuck off fugazy!

Right, I'm taking a course on Tardis Interiors, 1963 to Present Day. I'll be back!

(Also, my phone Home Screen background is the white Tardis interior).

Agree with all of that. Enjoyed it a lot, anyway.

Moffat doesn’t understand Larkin though. That’s misreading the almost-instinct almost-true by a mile. Then again, he doesn’t really understand defence contractors, other than the bit about flashing lights.

And it turns out that the actor playing Mundy the Anglican warrior is returning next series as a companion. Hopefully in the same role, which would be so much better than all those ghastly contemporary Earthlings. Shades of Leela, only better armed.

 

[danny la rouge]

I enjoyed that. It was much better than the two preceding ones. And still had song and dance.

And still had song and dance.

No it didn’t. Unless it was much too quick for me to spot.

 

[danny la rouge]

No it didn’t.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Ah! I played the Abbey road piano 20 years ago. Was really out of tune . Like now.

Me too! Well one of them. . . . . The lady madonna one in the Beatles room.

 

[Plumdaff]

This episode was a hell of a lot more like it, thoroughly enjoyed.

 

[Karl Masks]

Space Babies was dogshit, but this is electric

 

[starfish]

Thought that was actually pretty good.

 

[lazythursday]

This sounds more like it. But I guess I really should force myself to watch the Devil's Chord first.

Why punish yourself?

This evo's was excellent. Does not make up for the past two.

 

[Cloo]

That was a stonking episode - great social commentary tied up in a tight plot, which is really what modern-day Who is all about.

 

[krtek a houby]

“I’ll watch it no matter how shit it gets” is at least a creed, I suppose. If not one that I can get behind.

Good for you.

Have sat through good and bad Who for 50 years. It's nothing new.

 

[krtek a houby]

Still a minority, and of course 13 isn’t canon. Not sure anything after 12 is going to be canon at this rate.

That's both the most childish and old man shaking fist at the sky thing to say.

 

[8ball]

Oh, is it on at the moment?

<checks Radio Times..>

 

[krtek a houby]

Brilliant episode. Apparently it's Moffat's last ever for the show. That would be a shame, but still, a good one to go out on.


Meanwhile, it's looking like the Doctor and Ruby are trapped in a snow globe ...

 

[colacubes]

It was a good episode. However my 6 year old thought it was boring and thinks Space Babies is the best thing ever. So mixed reviews.

 

[Gromit]

The OH said okay we can watch Moffat episodes from here on and dodge the RTD ones.

Then you tell me this

Spoiler: Spoiler re writers

Moffat has written this year's Christmas episode

He’s talking bollocks.

Not quite correct he has written this years Christmas special 'Joy to all'

 

[krtek a houby]

They, not he.

They're talking bollocks.

(And yes, the information received was incorrect. Kudos and appreciation to the posters who pointed it out.)

Krampus for series big bad?

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

We're just back from the Rugby 7s challengers women's competition this weekend and are about to watch the next episode!

I have high hopes but I worry it's gonna be like the trousers I ordered off temu that arrived last week.

About what is expected but disappointing.

"Fucks have been analysed" apparently.

Or was that "fog"?
