DID IT SUCK? | Doctor Who [REVOLUTION OF THE DALEKS REVIEW]

[@HarrysMovingMedia]

I loved that the fake TARDIS house was just sitting on that street corner for ten months, and nobody in the neighbourhood thought to report it to the COUNCIL!!!

[@Kranitoko]

Isn't it that TARDIS' are difficult to notice? The Doctor explained in The Sound of Drums that it's like a perception filter, you only notice it if you want to. Sure, it's a HUGE house, but maybe to many residents, they just couldn't see it and just saw a house they thought was already part of the neighborhood?

Remember Turn Left where everything went to shit without the doctor, all the major earth threatening events had to be dealt with by companions such as Jack and Sarah Jane? Imagine this explored one of those adventures. The A plot would be Captain Jack and the companions trying to take down the dalek coup, the B plot would be a prison escape, and the plots would merge at the finale where Jack and the companions are almost about to sacrifice themselves and then the doctor manages to help them escape with the tardis. Maybe this is just shit fanfic on my part, but it seems better than what we got.

No, no, almost everyone thought that would happen, that's also what they insinuated in the trailer. Which is a shame, because the prison scenes were actually quite fun (for example I loved the bit of her quoting Harry Potter or talking to the cameras, in those few minutes she really felt like the Doctor to me) and wouldn't have minded it if she was there longer - or if her being locked up had any significance whatsoever.

The thought occurs to me that this story should have been a two parter. Think about it: the first part focusses on the Doctor being trapped in prison, coming to terms with what she learned in the previous finale, before breaking out with Jack's help (and this is the key difference - she actually takes an active role in her prison break, rather than waiting for someone to just rescue her), and making her way back to Earth. The episode then ends with the revelation that the British Government have been building "defence drones" that the Doctor, Jack and the companions recognise as Daleks, and the second part is about stopping them and their plan. The fact of the matter is that both central ideas (the Doctor in prison, and the British Government using alien death machines to maintain public order) are fantastic, but by forcing both into the same episode, neither idea feels fully developed and the overall product feels underwhelming as a result - much like most of Chibnall's episodes now I think about it

[@jonsmith5058]

You know what would have also been a thousand times better. If Jack was already in the prison and it wasn't this slapstick 'I got myself inprisoned in order to break you out lols' sort of thing. I mean in 19 years on the outside Jack could have made a better plan than 19 years waiting to get put next to the Doctor by random chance....... If Jack was already locked up he could have been desperate and alone, the Doctor helps him and in turn Jack reminds the Doctor who she is getting her out of this timeless child blah blah slump. Stronger together they both devise a plan to escape centred around Jack being able to die/not die. The slapstick dumb prison break is awful and its completely out of character for Jack to just toss out 19 years like that, immortal or not.

1) The Silence make you forget them when you look away, this has been established (it's the whole premise of them in fact). 2) Why does it matter who Jack heard the rumour from? For once Chibnall didn't over-explain something (over-exposition is easily one of his main flaws). 3) Obviously they met in the woods for the purposes of keeping it secret. It wouldn't be very secret if one of them turned up to the other's office. 4) "The fam" did already know that the Doctor used to be a man. I'm pretty sure the Doctor herself mentioned it once or twice and Jack definitely did the first time he was onscreen.

On point 3) yeah, clandestine meeting in the woods, okay, yeah, I'm fine with it. My problem with that whole scene is that Robertson calls the politician lady "Prime Minister" about half a dozen times. It was completely unnecessary as in the very next scene you can see on a computer screen that she won the elections and we knew she was running for office from the beginning of the episode. We get it, don't treat us like idiots. And anyways, rule one of cinema is "show, don't tell". Chibnall does not have any sort of subtlety that is needed for a good script.

I personally really liked it. A bit anticlimactic and too short was my issue. The pacing was too fast for me and there was little time to let everything sink in, which is really my primary issue with Chibnall scripts. They just move by too quickly, which is why I think two parters are the best place for him... and maybe not as show runner. I don’t have an issue with the man, just that I don’t think he’s a good show-runner for Doctor Who. But back to the story, yes, I really liked it. I’m just saying it should’ve been a two parter with the Doctor’s escape being halfway through, because what we have feels like it was cut-down, as if they filmed for a longer story but were told they had to have a much shorter story.

Hey, dude wanted his PC case back! The Doctor deliberately went looking for (and found) Death Squad Daleks.

We were told that a scene was added at the last minute to Revolution, but were never told which. Therefore, some have guessed that this heart-to-heart with Ryan was shot after everything else, Tosin's hair now much longer, therefore a hat was required to hide it. 13's line referencing the beanie may be some attempt to cover this up.

Enough to power a Dalek super fleet or even destroy the universe. The Doctor would never put the Earth in more danger than it already was in just to take an easy way out.

"how can you possibly forget" dude do you not know the silence? the beings who you don't remember the moment you look away

my boy did you seriously just ask why she kept forgetting the silent...

Funnily enough, I agree with your joke suggestion of The Master showing up again and saying they made up the whole timeless child story. I genuinely want that to exact retcon to occur, and unless Chibnall explicitly has the Doctor discover her true origins in the next series, I hope the next showrunner has the balls to go ahead and make the retcon happen.
