Hephaestus Posted December 13, 2023 Posted December 13, 2023 Loooved the specials, but the second one was the clear standout for me. Felt like true, old school Doctor Who. I agree with the Bi-generation being a weird send off for 10 and Donna, but I'm low key glad they're both still around.

Konril Posted December 14, 2023 Posted December 14, 2023 I'm still processing about this bi-generation thing. I don't know how to feel about it.

Crashed Posted December 25, 2023 Author Posted December 25, 2023 That was a good Christmas episode. Not great but good. But I love Ruby and her family, hopefully we'll see more of them during Series 14 Season 1 ()

Augmented Posted December 28, 2023 Posted December 28, 2023 The Christmas Special was…okay I guess. Fun moments for The Doctor and Ruby, loved the cgi and sets, enjoyed when the episode got really dark towards the end (although that moment literally felt like it was lifted from Season 5).I won’t lie tho after only enjoying 1 out of 4 episodes of RTDs return I’m feeling pretty deflated and worried about where the show is about to go. The musical aspect of the episode felt straight out of a CBBC programme which doesn’t fill me with much hope given how the next season has been described as “musical”. The tired ass Mystery Box format needs to go as well like it’s not aged well from the original reboot and all the little moments throughout the specials (especially the ending of this one) just made me roll my eyes.
Crashed Posted January 20 Author Posted January 20 If this is true it's a bloody mess. Millie's first season hasn't even aired yet and they're already leaking her replacement

Crashed Posted January 20 Author Posted January 20 3 hours ago, Jotham said: If this is true... omg Eccleston teas One of the Doctor Who set stalkers said that he has seen the new companion multiple times on set already but didn't know who she was. So it's most definitely true
Crashed Posted March 15 Author Posted March 15 Apart from the release date a new release strategy has been announced and it's awful. The show now premieres midnight UK time on iPlayer and Disney+ and airs later the next evening on BBC One, meaning the show's main audience either has to stay up late or dodge spoilers on social media when they wake up. The pandering to the US audience with this is actually insane
KFC Posted March 15 Posted March 15 When I told you guys Disney would ruin the show you all told me I was being paranoid
STARFUCKER Posted March 15 Posted March 15 I am so happy they're premiering at midnight! I'm usually out on Saturday evenings so have to catch up hungover on a Sunday... now I van watch them hangover free And also a double bill!
Crashed Posted March 31 Author Posted March 31 Another trailer as well as the episode titles have been revealed: Episode 1: Space Babies Episode 2: The Devil's Chord Episode 3: Boom Episode 4: 73 Yards Episode 5: Dot and Bubble Episode 6: Rogue Episode 7: The Legend of Ruby Sunday Episode 8: Empire of Death All episodes except 3 and 6 have been written by RTD. Boom is written by Moffat and Rogue by Kate Herron and Briony Redman.
Crashed Posted April 12 Author Posted April 12 (edited) Varada Sethu has been officially announced as a new companion for Season 2. But no word about Millie leaving. Edited April 12 by Crashed
KFC Posted April 14 Posted April 14 We got a baby we can feast We can dine three days at least Baby blood and baby bones Baby butter for the baby scones 1
KFC Posted April 25 Posted April 25 I still don't understand how that tiny baby was supposed to feed all those goblins, especially that big ass king 2
Crashed Posted May 7 Author Posted May 7 Reviews of the first two episodes are in and are mostly positive so far. The season currently has 100% on Rotten Tomatoes (11 reviews) and its Metascore is 72 (in comparison, Jodie's seasons were rated 78/80/68). Paste Magazine - 9.2 What makes Doctor Who so special is its ability to be stupid and funny while simultaneously being deeply emotionally resonant. IGN - 9 There's a familiar feeling to this new era, but Episodes 1 and 2 still sparkle with ingenuity and embrace the changes at every opportunity. If that isn't Doctor Who, then I don't know what is. Variety - 8 The series' strange adventures and the chemistry between the leads will be enough to keep viewers tuned in. But it's Gatwa's star turn that elevates the season. The Guardian - ★★★☆☆ Space Babies is a textbook example of a mid-ranking Who instalment, fun but forgettable and, ultimately, not making sense. .... Much better is episode two, The Devil's Chord, which takes the Doctor and Ruby to Abbey Road to witness the Beatles recording their debut album. The Telegraph - ★★★☆☆ The [Space Babies] plot involves nappies and bogeys, which makes it fun for younger viewers but a bit cringe-worthy for adults. [...] The [The Devil's Chord] episode has a good opening scene but then goes on for what feels like forever, with drag queen Jinkx Monsoon chewing the scenery as Maestro. [...] The main asset of the new Doctor Who is Gatwa, who carries the series along with the force of his megawatt charisma.
Crashed Posted May 11 Author Posted May 11 (edited) Can I admit that I didn't like todays episodes? After six episodes overall in RTD's new era I'm starting to worry. But I'm still excited for Moffat's episode next week Edited May 11 by Crashed 1

KFC Posted May 12 Posted May 12 I ******* HATE The Toymaker and everything related. The Giggle was the worst of the specials and The Devil's Chord was the worst episode of Who I've seen since the revival (I didn't watch the female doctors episodes)
