I just find it funny that they are ignoring all the damage the Flux did. I would like to see them address that.

Maybe the Time entity reversed it?

I can't even remember anything about The Flux ... Or The Impossible Girl... Even now barely remember the origin of Timeless Child (how on Earth did The Master even KNOW about that?) ... But I liked this seasons episodes... This Doctor is a bit more free spirited and smiley and acts like someone's young grandpa.

They did kind of drop The Impossible Girl. Apparently, Clara is still scattered along the Doctor's timeline.

Funny... They dropped Mrs. Who, too.

Funny also, I used to think Alex Kingston was biracial because her facial features (and hair) look stereotypically black/white... But she's British and German... Wholly white. Genetics are weird, innit?

Drinker was once a pretty decent reviewer and critic, but he's long since given that up in favour of the high engagement he gets from the clickbait outrage stuff. Same goes for Mauler. Nerdrotic manages to keep his particularly nasty opinions to himself most of the time, but they sneak out every once in a while when he's not being careful. The outpost guy is well recognised as a nasty piece of shit.

Doctor Who may well be absolute garbage these days (which it definitely is), but these guys will push the anti-woke messaging as hard as possible, over actually critiquing the show's content, because that's what gets the subscribers and money.

I don't know how you can say that unless you're just judging a book by its cover...err a YouTuber by their thumbnails

Mauler hardly ever brings up politics and keeps to the writing and logic of something almost exclusively. Drinker can compliment stuff if it's done well even if progressive as he's a big fan of old trek and arcane and such. Ryan has some funny clips but he'll be the first to make fun of himself like "Yeah I can see how people say that I look pretty racist insulting this character in my fucking truck" like he's self aware and self depricating

I’ve watched enough of all of them to know what they’re like.

Well, this 73 Yards episode got weird.
Ruby may be the "One who waits". She just might be a god. Cheating death is a very god thing to do. Also, she scared the hell out of everyone with her mere presence.

Still, it may have just been an interaction with the perception filter and the fairy circle.
Fairies are a real thing in the Doctor Who universe. Just look at the Torchwood episode.
The whole thing may have been a plot by the fairies to stop the Prime Minister.

Or, a test for Ruby.

I think it was a really good episode... I was engaged the moment The Doctor disappeared

 

[Krathoon]

We are starting to have some genuinely good episodes. So, I think Doctor Who is safe. Space Babies seems to be the stinker.

 

[Krathoon]

What is great about 73 Yards is that horrible things are happing and they don't make sense and there is no real explanation.

That is the most disturbing kind of horror.

 

[nush]

My prediction, just under 2 million views. Of course that because it's sunny and a bank holiday weekend in the UK.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Pure dross.

 

[DeafTourette]

I liked 60s Beetles episode because it felt so camp like 60s musical movies

NEXT TIME
Seems like this is about how social media distracts you from real life.
Like you are living in a bubble.
Really, that is kind of the nature of existence really. You have a sphere of people you know.

 

[Krathoon]

Dot and Bubble episode.
Well, that was a brilliant episode. It was all for nothing. The Doctor is left frustrated.

FWIW my kid LOVES the Eccleston run, it's a bit scarier than I remember but he is totally hooked. He is even asking to watch the OG Dr. Who, if that is even possible!

Damn now that'd be a culture shock, a lot of the stuff is on iPlayer I'm sure you can VPN it, I'd suggest moving back one Doctor at a time, so try him with the 1996 Special with Paul McGann, then jump back to another good point which sadly for the 80s it goes a bit all over the place but The Fifth Doctors first episode is a good starting point, then of course the fourth, then third, see where he can go back and handle for it to still be watchable but not feel dated enough for him to get bored. If he's good with a lot of Third and Fourth's era then maybe try him all the way back to first but just remind him that the first two Doctors are very long arc based and not like the later and modern series.

Bird people episode.
Ruby is no dummy. She used the earrings to defend herself.

I think that episode was a critique of the modern day influencer, constantly on social media, the real world is just noise culture in a lot of our youth and young adults.

Oh shit, he just had his "I'm a Time Lord" moment, that scan also revealed they've made someone else cannon as a pre-Hartnell Doctor!

Spoiler

Richard E Grant's "Shalka" Doctor shows up as one of the faces in the scanner

Just watched that on Twitter.

I love how they're still trying to repeat Matt's 'Hello... I'm The Doctor' speech... but can't ever get it done as well.
