I did not like the episode, but honestly I am quite harsh on a lot of Dr.Who, so many of the episodes are very mediocre but the ones that shine are enough that I have watched the whole damn show.

[@MrGreaves]

British One the doctor’s daughter was a very mediocre episode with some great moments for me. I really liked the whole concept of the Doctor finding a new reason to live only to have it stripped away, and the line about the time lords being a shared knowledge and shared suffering was quite emotional and powerful

[@ryaneasterling1556]

@@MrGreaves That is kinda my problem with the episode, Introduce a new status quo change just to have it taken taken away and not really have impact anything, classic serial show trope, if the daughter character joined up as a companion we could have had some great exploration of interesting concepts in future episodes

[@MrGreaves]

Ryan Easterling good point, I’m kinda left wishing she stuck around for maybe the finale. The whole “finding a new reason to live only to have it stripped away” idea would be a lot more impactful then, especially seeing as how much he actually loses in that episode

This has always been one of my favourite two parters. It’s just so tightly done, it’s probably my favourite reintroduction of a classic villain bc it treats them with respect while also being comedic. Plus the redesign is cool. Not as cool as the Silurians, but the Silurian two parter isn’t as good of a story imo. Mint review boyo xoxo

[@TheHufflepuffSaint]

Great review as always but Jo doesn't ask her car to drive her to UNIT but she was using voice recognition to programme a SatNav route. Much like Google Maps or the good ol' Tom Tom SatNav of the day. To be honest, Driverless cars are a terrible idea, not only does it scream car accidents but cars are an excuse to not walk anywhere so it just screams laziness. Things are Hella bad if humans have gotten so lazy to actually drive. If Skyrim had a Laziness branch on its skill tree, this'd be Laziness 100.

[@irrevenant3]

2:43 Personally I reckon the self-driving car thing is even *more* scary now that's on the verge of becoming a reality. Do we really believe self-driving vehicles will be 100% hack-proof? That fear of someone remotely seizing control of our vehicle and using it to harm us is potentially just about to become real. (It makes no sense that ATMOS is an exhaust-filtration system that somehow makes the car automated though...).

Davids acting when he tells him to get the soldiers out of there but he ignores the doctor and corrects him by saying Ross’ name and shouting at him still makes me chill

I agree with most of the video but as far as the “smart kid crying” bit (sorry it’s been years since I last viewed the whole 2 parter itself) I always felt the laughing/crying mix was intentional. He’s crying because everything backfired but laughing out of half disbelief and half acceptance that this could happen. Like he knew that it could happen when he dealt with the Sontaran’s but didn’t believe it would come to it. To me that didn’t feel like bad acting it felt like an intentional performance of desperation, regret, disbelief and acceptance of the situation all in one scene

This may sound like an odd opinion, but did anyone else feel like they were setting up Ross to prehaps be a future companion, Like I could see him being a unit officer that realises that to defeat the intergalactic horrors of the universe, Unit cant just open fire and rain lead and nukes on them, And perhaps this would give the doctor a reason to take ross alongside him for a few adventures to show him how guns, despite what ross was told in his Unit training, are bloody pointless against aliens. Dont get me wrong I know he dies, but the chemistry between him and the doctor, The grief the Doctor had on his face when he realised Ross was dead, It just felt like they're could of been some build up for his character, and maybe set him up to either work alongside Martha in some sort of Spin off Show or join the doctor in 2 or 3 episodes
