FTA-TV Doctor Who

[Planet14]

i enjoyed it. The “messages” were delivered like a stiff blow to the head, but RTD doesn’t do subtle.

Similar to last week, the story doesn’t hang together particularly upon reflection, which I guess is something we now just need to accept.

I would say putting two 'Doctor-lite' episodes back to back may not have played too well for some people

It is frustrating in such a short season. At least in the era of Blink and Turn Left they were part of a 12 episode series. Gatwa is the best part of the show right now by a mile, so getting short changed in two of eight feels like there should have been another way.

I think this story will absolutely be part of a bigger plot. People didn't like Space Babies, but it, Boom and now this feel linked together.

I really hope this is the case. Some of my criticism may be premature if they do something to bring these things together.

They directly cited it in this episode. The old lady was in 73 yards and Boom.

Isn't it a ten ep season?

Fantastic episode, although was funny watching ruby become Clara instead of rose.

Heard on the Big Blue Box Podcast that this was an episode originally written for Capaldi and Coleman - its why Millie gave off very strong Clara vibes as she was approaching the Doctor and the Mine

Also explains the reference to the moon and the presidents wife, a line capaldi uses in another episode.

Wikipedia only lists 8 this season.

Does that mean only two left?

Farewell to the first person to say the phrase "Doctor Who" on TV.



Susan (Carole Ann Ford) on the right - is still alive.

While we're remembering stuff...

Just watched the Hand of Fear again tonight before the footy.

My God, it's absolutely boring, lifeless tripe despite Sarah's emotional exit

By a considerable margin the worst story of the Hinchcliffe era.

Bob Baker and Dave Martin are two of the worst writers in Doctor Who history.

The only story they script wrote that was half way good was The Claws of Axos

Piss off.

Brilliant episode this week.

I think it's my favourite of the Ncuti era yet.

A delight from start to finish..

Definitely a homage to Grimm (another sci-fantasy show I am a fan of)

Jonathan Groff was bloody brilliant as Rogue and definitely will be back at some point.

10/10 an instant classic

 

[AdelaideGT]

Quite enjoyed it but not my favourite of this series. Still enjoyable enough.

I'm sure there will plenty of critics re the romance element though.

 

[SM]

Brilliant episode, feel like Groff is a soft reboot of Captain Jack but I'm totally fine with that.

 

[GreyCrow]

Nice little episode

Story was good
