RTD said that with the Toymaker's shenanigans, there will be far more potential for impossible things, so I suppose a musical number at the end was always going to be included

[@HollowKira]

To anyone that finds the musical number jarring, think of it this way: The Toymaker's Pantheon seem to be reality warping beings outside of our universe, and the Maestro was suppressing Music for decades. She affected the timeline for decades. It is like the universe was holding in all this musical energy and with the Maestro banished it could be released, but needs to snap back into place, so a musical number is it all coming out in a burst. The universe is more musical for a bit.

[@shockykun2250]

My view of it was When the toymaker was banished the state of play lingerie for what seems to be hours letting the tardis be doubled So this was akin to that but this time a state of music lingering so the doctor decided to have some fun with it Also explains the cross walk piano

[@ropowo]

Completely agree, but Maestro used they/them pronouns

[@Deathawaitsnoone]

Huh. I didn't really think of it like that, I was more thinking that the entire episode was about how music and dancing are important to humans so ending with a musical number seems appropriate (albeit silly but Doctor Who has always been a little silly).

If you’re hoping for explanations, I’d recommend a different show 😂

[@Streifi]

I agree. If RTD did something well, it was the seasonal arcs that were tied together by a repeating theme, like those winks. I feel like we get an answer, but the twist might be, that those winks were never intended for us, the audience, but for something else we aren't yet aware of. The only thing I never liked about RTD's story arcs was, that they ended up being existential threatening or introduced humanity as a whole to alien life way too early, just for them to push a reset button at the end. I hope the reset button is a thing of the past by now. But I really liked his arcs. The existential threats especially could hardly escalate even more, and only threats that felt personal to the doctor would maybe have a larger impact. The other seasons since RTD's initial depature tried to deal with those. So I'm almost glad we got a bit of cosmic horror back by inviting beings beyond scientific reasoning or the Doctors knowledge into reality. I also really didn't enjoy the other unresolved arcs that happened since RTD's initial departure. Like why did the TARDIS blow up? Who knows? Who controlled the TARDIS? Who knows? We got fan-theories, but never any true answers. Or all that other stuff that led nowhere and was dropped and forgotten eventually. So I really enjoy the return of the little hints at the end (or somewhere in the middle) of the episodes, because I know it will be resolved eventually in a hopefully satisfying manner.

Its interesting that The Harbinger is still around.

Tbh even though I can't behind this scene, is it really that much different to say.. the dance scene in Delta and the Bannermen or the Big Bang episodes.

At first, when the Doctor says there's always a twist at the end, I thought they were going to use the song The Twist by Chubby Checker, which was used in Spider-Man 3.

I want it on Spotify 🙏

My headcanon: It’s the toy maker and his legions. This felt so forced. As though the characters had no control over doing this. The balloons too. What did the toy maker turn his victims to in the giggle you ask? Ballons! I think it’s going to be revealed that this was all the toymakers doing and despite being bound in salt he’s still just trolling the universe.

[@nonotamermaid]

this is exactly what i'm thinking. he's messing with this world or they're either trapped in a show, an alternate universe, or some sorta simulation that the toymaster / the pantheon is controlling. i know RTD said that he's adding more fantasy but the very loud and noticeable differences to the usual universe and its physics/reality based world is wayyyyyy too noticeable to not be setting up something massive. the way the doctor winks before singing is exactly what the toymaker does, right down to the sound effect and everything. - ruby made it somehow snow? - she immediately turned into another species and changed all of history just because she stepped on a butterfly? - they keep breaking the 4th wall and have done so in every episode this era - susan twist is playing a different character in every episode and 15 mentions susan plus the twist song within the same episode - 15 hit the tardis with a hammer and magically made a second one? makes absolutely no sense in the universe we know especially since there's a deleted scene where 10 gives the meta-crisis doctor a piece of the tardis which he says takes 1,000 years to grow (donna tells them how to speed it up but still it would be impossible in the usual world to just make another tardis instantaneously without some sort of explanation) SO many things are hinting at something and i'm surprised more fans aren't talking about it

@@zocialixomg you're so onto something

This would be a great explanation

Harbinger is still lurking too at 2:10

Literally every Tarintino movie😂

How can anyone not love this episode?

[@JSP_1147]

This scene was just funny as fuck, I love it

[@swiftbird4846]

Such fun, I love this moment!

Wonderful scene!

Building toward a 2 hour Dr. Who musical? Then Broadway?

[@PajaksPodcasts]

Well considering Disney are in cahoots with Russell and the BBC now 😂😂

[@kiratastic7048]

YES! THIS! Doctor Who, at its core, is meant to be campy as hell! And this song is so silly and fun and full of whimsy! Might be the first big music number we’ve gotten, but it’s quintessential Doctor Who goodness :D

[@user-hl1ex6py8l]

Maybe there has been a camp element in Doctor Who meaning that it has always been whimsical and ironic but that isn't the same as infusing the show with LBGTQ messaging. The rating are pretty poor for the first two episodes. If it carries on like this I doubt the show will continue for many more years.

[@AccountFornothing-wb7hh]

I don't see how this is doctor who as it's core but cool that you feel this way

[@duncanbrown8868]

You mean LGBT messaging like the transgender trampoline and the pansexual secret agent from back in 2005?

[@user-hl1ex6py8l]

@@duncanbrown8868 What was going on in 2005 is nothing like what is going on in 2024. Lady Cassandra if she was transexual it was never very clear and Captain Jack Harkness never lectured anyone about his sexuality as far as I can recall. We have had two characters lecture us about their pronouns since RTD has returned. It was certainly never alluded to that the Doctor was Gay in the Tennant and Eccleston era, the Doctor has always been asexual until the last two incarnations. We also live in a far more illiberal world today than 20 years ago people are becoming less willing to tolerate LBGTQ activism in their entertainment which is reflected in the declining ratings for Doctor Who.

[@duncanbrown8868]

Cassandra, a woman, says “back when I was a little boy” in her first ever appearance. She is 100% trans. Jack never “lectured” anyone but his sexuality was a massive part of his character. Bill was a lesbian, Clara was highly implied to be bisexual. LGBT characters are nothing new. The first doctor had a romance arc in one of his first ever serials. The eighth doctor has a romance arc in the movie. 10 was in love with Rose. 11 was lowkey a weird pervert at times. 12 had clear romantic tension with Missy. Them being non asexual is nothing new. No character has “lectured” anyone about their pronouns. One character said “maybe they use different pronouns” about an alien life form which is totally valid if a little cringe. The other just said they were a they, not a he. Which makes sense because they were an alien god from another universe. Why would they use he/she pronouns?
