Doctor Who - Boom - Episode Review

They did dirty with capaldi. A great actor wasted. 😢

[@benwarwick4290]

Right, they will never get an actor that good again. 😂😅😢

[@matthewcorcoran2891]

Agreed, his run was such a waste. I really like Capaldi as an actor, and his casting was amazing news. However the writing of his character was abysmal. Such a shame.

[@QuorkEx]

Twice upon a time was character assassination of a dead man and the part he loved to play. I can only hope that the Brillo pad haired t*** was forced into it by the BBC upper management.

[@dcarr8816]

He had a few good episodes like Listen, Flatliners, Mummy on the Orient Express and my personal all time favorite, Heavensent. He was very much reminiscent of the Classic Doctors, which was the era where I originally got into the show. Tom Baker was my Doctor, but Pertwee was excellent as well. Capaldi was a great fan of Pertwee and I can see that influence in his portrayal of the Doctor. Capaldi had amazing range and could convey more with a raised eyebrow than many actors can with a lengthy monologue.

[@buster-vu7sx]

100%. I dipped out during the Capaldi era. The writing was atrocious, the Dr was portrayed like he had dementia, and his companion was a racist

[@peterd788]

To be fair, The World Enough And Time and the second part were quite good. Twice Upon A Time was something that was never supposed to be written and only was because of Chibnall.

[@MillywiggZ]

Must be a UK/US thing. Parents check to see if kids brush their teeth by smelling their breath. We, and they, are little SOB’s that will run the water just standing there out of spite not doing it. Only way you can check is if you either watch them or smell their breath since they can’t fake the toothpaste smell. Maybe they don’t do that in the US since their water is all fluoride hahaa! Pretty disingenuous Chris (from Cultivated Media that never was) didn’t explain that because he wants the Nerdrotic cash flow hamming up the fake anger in this “shouty era”.

[@lesigh1749]

RTD Queered the show too close to the sun. Now Doctor Who's fairy wings are melted away and its spiraling back towards the ground in flames. If only the entire fanbase of fifty plus years had warned him this would happen, if he tried to make a time travel adventure show into an LGBT version of High School Musical.

[@a_skellington]

Your comparing being too LGBT friendly in a show to the myth of Icarus, but i just want you to know, that the Ancient greeks that made and spread that myth were incredibly gay.

[@lesigh1749]

@@a_skellington Alas that's a common misconception among many modern pro LGBT activists with a poor reading in classical history. While they certainly weren't opposed to M/M sexual interactions, Greek culture was in fact predominantly and overwhelmingly heterosexual and with lost concepts such as brotherly and platonic love between men, rather than rainbow flag and feather boa wearing home erotic lust.

[@diviningdragon]

Agreed. Moffat wasn’t the architect of the destruction of Doctor Who. But in a bid to remain relevant to his professional circle, he became complicit by unlocking doors for the BBC, Chibnall, and now RTD2 and Disney. Capaldi’s run was tarnished. And now Moffat is helping prop up the corpse of Doctor Who in a version of “Weekend at Disn…uh…Bernie’s.” Better than what we’ve been given by RTD lately, but that’s a VERY low bar.

[@vanessalore9942]

[@greensun5998]

[@inquerion8867]

Possible. In my opinion, this episode was better than E1 and E2 and was actually watchable. A bit like old Who. Better than most (if not all) Chibnall era episodes. Bowlestrek went a bit too hard on it, but I know that he has to do it to keep the views and $$$ flowing. Sadly next week we are probably back with usual RTD 2.0 low quality stuff.

[@cormoran2303]

Same situation happened in Genesis Of The Daleks. It lasted one scene, was tense and the doctor didn't cry. This took a whole episode, got dull and for some reason the doctor weeped like a woman. This feels like a leftover script from Whittaker's run.

[@shaz2761]

Twas the script Whittaker whipped her ass on

[@Pooter-it4yg]

Actually, at least in my view, the problems set in when Tennant, not that he wasn't good, played the role as a reprise of his blokey Casanova. This introduced sexualisation into the character and although the Smith and Capaldi takes took a deliberate step back, the die was cast. Previous Doctors had been flirty on occasion but there was never any romantic attraction. The Doctor simply didn't think below the waist. Consider Baker's brilliant line to Catherine Schell in City of Death - "you're a very beautiful woman... probably." But once Tennant had Tennanted and Rose had Risen, it had to be about suppressed urges from then on. And to forestall any snit I'm as healthy as anyone else. But when I'm eating breakfast I don't imagine two rashers of bacon in a threesome with an egg. PS Anglicans aren't Catholic.

[@AurumEtAes]

Not often you hear someone point out how similar Tennant’s performance in Doctor Who was to the also RTD penned Casanova. Anglican = Church of England So Protestant, not Catholic

[@Pooter-it4yg]

@@AurumEtAes Indeed. The fact that the Church of England isn't Catholic is the whole point of it.

[@Pooter-it4yg]

@@Paul-pr2ku To me the TV movie is to Who what Never Say Never Again was to Bond. Although I'm glad McGann got deserved chances later. It was also such a failure that the intended revival didn't happen. I'd also argue that 9's affection for Rose isn't romantic (she rescued him from war trauma and taught him to live again). The rest was post-10 but mostly very underplayed. 11 doesn't reciprocate Amy's attraction. River Song is an interesting one. "I'm from your future and believe me you love me - or will." I suppose the underlying premise is that casting the part younger - Tennant, Smith - made it harder for the Doctor to be non-romantic. And I also felt back in the day that Davison was too young although he grew on me, as did Tennant. And his incarnation was basically a worried prefect in charge of unruly kids.

[@retroboomer3197]

Nobody cares if you make a show with a diverse cast. Just make an original show with an original IP and it's fine. The problem is that they don't do that. Instead, they take already established IPs and change the characters to fit an agenda. Then when people get upset, they gaslight them and call them names. The only "toxic people" are the ones ruining our beloved characters. And everyone knows why they don't make original IPs and use already hugely popular ones... It's because they know darn well that nobody will watch them.

[@markemark449]

Compare the first two doctors of the classic era - Hartnell and Troughton, like chalk and cheese, but somehow both felt like different sides of the same character. So much of the style of the show changed, but it was still super nerd dad figure helps the good guys beat the bad guys. Now they are veering from uncool, dithering, useless Whitaker to pantomime 4th wall breaking, magical realism, "too cool for school" Gatwa. Neither of them feel like the doctor to me, or any sort of relatable character. It's not an IP problem, it's about making the lead so one dimensional that they seem to be spectators in their own show.

Moffat has really demeaned himself with this

[@slumbermeadow]

The interesting thing about seeing him calm himself down isn't that we've never seen that before or didn't know he could do that. It's that this time we see HOW he does it. He recites a poem that to my ear is a hyper condensed version of a story he tells Jo Grant way back when he was the Third Doctor about how on the darkest day of his life he sought the advice of a wise old hermit who ended up teaching him what life is all about. He focuses on the moment he acquired probably the most central part of who he is and how he finds peace. And that's just in the moment where he has to calm him self RIGHT NOW or explode. When the landmine isn't counting down and he needs a more sustained relaxation method he sings a song that the 2nd Doctor used to play on the recorder which I thought was also a nice touch.

[@amkire65]

Love the review, oddly, though, this was actually one of the best New Who's in years... that's painful to say. Also, the theory is that Susan Twist keeps appearing as different characters and will eventually turn out to be Susan the Dr's granddaughter... well that will be fun if it happens.

[@Erikjust]

I like the part in the previous episode where the Doctor said that during his battle with the toymaker his soul was split in two which caused him to bi-regenerate. In the hands of a skilled writer, this could actually be a great theme. The Doctor doesn´t "act" like the doctor because he literally is only half the Doctor. That could be used to explain him suddenly being afraid where he wasn´t before, or having emotional outbursts far past where it would have been expected. As alot of his internal for lack of better word "controls" are missing. Unfortunately RTD isn´t such a great writer that he could actually incorporate these themes. By the way never got to ask during your last livestream but Bowlstrek what is your opinion on Mark Bonnar´s The Eleven? Is he a character you enjoy or is he painful to listen to? Also would you like to see Mark Bonnar reprise his role as The Eleven on the tv-show?

I like Series Six and sometimes I wish I was on crack, lol. Hey, he made Dr Nutty stand in one place. I honestly didn’t watch it, but I heard about the crying.

[@adamj.cuthbert7528]

It was okay. Just okay. Middle-of-the-road by Moffat's standards: could've been better, could've been a lot worse. Better than the last two episodes, but worse than The Power of the Doctor (which, in my opinion, is a lot better than The Day of the Doctor and the 60th specials), which is my yardstick for judging the quality of future stories. The biggest problem I have is that they can't get the emotional storytelling right: if the Doctor cries in every other episode, it lessens the impact when something big and personal happens to him later on. There's a reason why Twelve breaking down with tears in his eyes in 'Heaven Sent' means something: because it's the culmination of emotion. Same with Nine losing his temper and self-control in 'Dalek': if he'd lost his shit earlier, it'd have lessened the impact when he faced off with the 'last' Dalek. By this point in Series 14, apathy has set in because there's no reason to care about anything, if anything can set off waterworks, because it's all treated as being of the same emotional value, instead of saving the tears for when it really matters: Ten losing Rose in 'Doomsday', Eleven losing Amy in 'The Angels Take Manhattan', Twelve grieving over Clara's death in 'Heaven Sent'. You save the tears, for god's sake, or nobody will give a damn.

We're at the point now where Steven Moffat is now somehow better than RTD. In my opinion, RTD shoulda just never returned if he was gonna be this crap! For me, Eccleston and Tennant will always be the best Doctors. What we got last year was NOT Tennant. I remember hating the Smith era at the time but in hindsight the plot arcs weren't that bad. At least Moffat had a vision. But that Impossible girl arc was horrendous. It's been a while since Moffat wrote something truly scary or proper Dr Who-related. I personally didn't mind Capaldi - there were some actually good arcs. Twice upon a Time was okay but I didnt like how the 1st doctor was portrayed as 'sexist'.

Oddly this episode is the worse from a DW point of view. What is the role of the Doctor? To be the show's hero and solve the problem. What is the spirit of the show? Adventure with great sci fi/fantasy concepts. So Ep 1 "Snot Monster" - the concept? Baby farm left alone till the babies themselves take over. What does the Doctor do? Rescues the Snot Monster (okay...) and gets the station moving again. He is at least pro-active So Ep 2 "Drag Queen World Destruction Hour" - the concept? What is the joy of music could be removed from us? What does the Doctor do? Attempts to banish the evil. Has to get a little help from my friends (see what they did there? Clever huh...? huh? Huh?) but at least he was attempting to save the day. Now Ep 3 "I hate the Industrial Church Complex" - the concept? The Industrial Church Complex is BAD. I hate it. I am going to repeat every single Left Wing Talking Point and stamp my feet till you agree with me. What does the Doctor Do? Stands on a disco land mine and cries constantly. Who actually saves the day? An AI of a dead guy hacks into the mainframe of a different AI and switches everything off. Sure Ep 3 MAY have better acting... or not, but as a DW story where we have a cool concept and the Doctor does some hero stuff? FAIL. #RIPDoctorWhoThoughtsAndPrayers

If youve seen the movie 'mine' then youll realize steven moffat stole the concept from that movie. He couldn't be arsed to even write anything original for RTD

You've got lots of willpower to sit through this ultimate wokefest. God bless you, good sir. 🙏

Waiting for an episode named dirgesong. Never watched Peter Capaldis last episode, none of Jodi or Ncuti. The only thing I've learned from diversity is that it values other things over talent.

I have just finished rewriting the timeless children the giggle and the space babies. The timeless children is the timeless child and is the master space babies I have called the creature below and the giggle I have not sussed out yet. Episode 2 is my master story and episode 3 I am rewriting to do a dalek story

I'd like to personally thank you for watching this crap on our behalves as i gave up on this show years ago and I was a fan since 1974 , i pissed myself laughing at you shouting at "the magical snow" I don't know what that is but it sounds a lame plot mechanism for a badly written show.

Dismal Disney paid for 2 seasons of Doctor Who so hopefully after that it gets cancelled and then sit back and watch the blame game start and the first off the bench are the fans.

Tried to warn you… 🤦‍♀️

Damn, with review channels like this, im actually starting to understand the touch grass statement.

This was much more entertaining that the actual episode and a lot quicker. For the next episode I might just came straight here for the recap and skip the actual episode - it will waste less time and make me less sad.

Man, I always forget Twice Upon A Time. It should have been amazing. I was so looking forward to it (probably naively so, but still), but it was just a shake-down of the First Doctor instead. So sad. I didn't watch Boom, nor will I watch any more. At this point, I'm just laughing at the ratings. I'll stick with classic Who, I think. I was re-watching the newer stuff but I'm up to Kill the Moon and I really don't have the will to get through that thing again... and it's still better than anything after Capaldi's run...

space marine priests fighting dust and medical conditions. 😂😂😂😂 Wonder if there out of ideas yet and are using Seth McFarlane manatees 😂😂😂

[@kellynch]

Brilliant, as per usual. (Except I do like Husbands of River Song. A lot).
