I Was Wrong About Rogue.

[@dwfan91-]

THE REVIEW FOR LEGEND OF RUBY SUNDAY IS COMING OUT SHORTLY Edit: Apologies for this video coming out later than expected and being shorter than I would like it to be. My wifi went out on Wednesday and I just got it back up. On the positive side it let me get ahead on some projects I had fallen back on. On the negative side… my wifi went out on Wednesday. Nevertheless I hope you enjoy!

This has nothing to do with this season, but today I convinced my Art teacher, who has never seen dw before, to watch "Vincent and the Doctor" in class 🤣 We'll be watching it on monday

It feels fantastic to have a majority positive community reaction to a series. It's so refreshing if you ignore a certain part of the community

[@Comicbroe405]

Yeah it really is. I've seen good critiques for this ep & I've also seen so many hate this one cuz they literally don't know what fun is.

[@ThePonderer]

I warmed up to Rogue a little bit when I realized the moment Rogue sacrifices himself for Ruby is really the moment the Doctor properly falls in love with him, but after two viewings I still think it’s one of the season’s weaker offerings.

[@L.BCinematography]

I think it was designed that way, like a fun little romp just before that insane 2 parter finale

[@teenytv5194]

Dude! I had the exact same thought about Rogue and The Devil’s Chord switching!!! It makes so much more sense for Rogue to be episode 2 than The Devils chord imo

[@crustsandwichYT]

I think episode is way overhated I really like that’s is just a regular doctor who episode. I love this season but my problem with it is there isn’t an enough formulaic episodes (doctor and companion land somewhere and have to defeat an enemy). This episode is one of my top 3 favourites of the season and I really don’t understand why people are hating. Btw love the videos bro I disagree with most of your doctor who opinions but I still watch and love them 😂 keep it up

[@Kregnic]

RUSSEL! BRING BACK THE MULTI PART FORMAT, AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!!

[@airquotescomedian]

Rogue is coming back according to my inside source, which is my friend’s cousin’s sister’s mate who was in the local chippy and heard the fish fryer say, and this is a direct quote, “Yeah, they’ll probably bring that Rogue back.” Or maybe they ran out of roe cakes.

[@alexwright751]

I swear episodes that are meant to be filler are sometimes the best out of the series

[@brobs0463]

Rouge and Devils Chord were totally switched! For some reason I used to be under the impression the Devils chord was episode 6, this would make sense

[@writeonshell]

That would actually make sense in some ways (the "always a twist on the end" joke makes more sense after seeing more cameos), and I wonder if Disney swapped them for timing purposes. I heard a robot that the devil's chord ended up releasing when it did to be near Eurovision. Then Bridgerton set Rogue just randomly came between part 1 and part 2 of Bridgerton series 3 which is weird timing if completely random.

[@aesthetrick2424]

Bro you are so right with episode 2 and 6 being swapped. It makes so much sense the other way around! "The one who waits is almost here" works so much better just before the finale!

[@ReddRubble]

For me, it felt like we once again aren't getting a Ruby and Doctor episode, they were once again seperate. It felt to me like an episode you would get in between companions. I also just had trouble believing the relationship here, the dude was a bounty hunter and the doctor seemed to have to problem with that? The Doctor is always crying over ruby in this season, but seems to have no problem just running off and letting her do her own thing, much more so than previous doctors.

[@clueingforbeggs]

29:01 - ah, but you don't see the War doctor regenerate into the Ninth Doctor, not in the original episode. You see the regeneration begin and then it gets cut off. Shalka could easily slot between the two

[@benhancock6253]

But this messes with the whole ending for 11...

[@scarletfatefan8793]

Rouge was a decent episode from my viewpoint. A big number of people say it was a nice paler cleanser after the experimental episodes, and I rather agree with them. Part 1 if the finale is coming out tonight so it’ll be nice to watch this video then hear your thoughts about the new episode later in the night.

[@SeanORaigh]

Since RTD did that farewell tour for Ten back in the day, I have to wonder whether Rogue could reappear in Gatwa's finale, not necessarily as a major part of the plot but as a final farewell thing.

[@maxon1712]

12:04 for the i just think the power dynamic was a bit weird with yaz pinning and the doc almost dismissing but it’s not played as toxic it’s played as good

[@herbivarsawus4359]

'Kill the gays' is a trope they were referring to. This, however, did the 'gays fall in love really fast' trope x

[@notallwhowanderarelost4797]

As a DnD player, I can assure you that plenty of DnD players would be even worse than Rogue at roleplaying in that situation 🤪

[@MrGreaves]

Welp… I didn’t make the cut this time, but as always: I enjoyed the video a lot! Always a pleasure to see a notification from you, sire!

[@benjamin._.mcalister1698]

Ngl when writing my comment completely forgot about The Doctor and Yasmin's relationship lol. Great video as always! It's funny almost every episode that comes out I think "this would have been a much better episode 2 than Devil's Chord"

My thoughts exactly! I'm shivering 🤣

[@stelmaria-mx]

GET HYPEDDDD

[@ManiacalflameYT]

I'M SO HYPED FOR THE FINAL EPISODE

[@clueingforbeggs]

@14:00 you're sort of right, I think. I knew the running order seemed to have been messed with because there was the double episode with the musical right before Eurovision, so I had been looking out for any episodes which seemed to be definitively after The Devil's Chord. I think that it was probably meant to go Space Babies, Rogue, Boom (or Boom, Rogue, not too sure, because Susan Twist), 73 Yards, The Devil's Chord, Dot and Bubble, and then the final. I don't think TDC can be after DAB as in TDC Ruby says the Doctor has an answer for everything, and in DAB we see that he doesn't, as he can't help the citizens of Finetime due to their racism.

[@lbricks7631]

Yeah, Rogue is excellent. Can't wait for your video regarding the latest episode!

[@AlmightyBruce]

I thought this episode was mid. That being said, this is undoubtably the best looking episode in the entire 60 year run. It looks phenomenal.

[@ThePonderer]

Really? I thought it looked pretty pedestrian compared to the rest of this series.

[@CardboardOracle]

Was just about to sit down and watch episode 7. But a new dwfan91 video means that can wait!

[@nathandaniels3061]

I wait for your videos every week on the next episodes Love you king

[@braytechexoscience2790]

Whatever it is, here it comes

[@Comicbroe405]

I fs thought this would be the ep you wouldn't like but I'm so glad that this season is delivering for you. Completely agree with your point about fan fictions & your take on the 13th Doctor.

[@tom_4615]

100% agree with your thoughts at the beginning.. for a standard episode, it’s like an 8/10… compared to the rest of the season I’d have to give it like a 6.5

[@pizzaro11s57]

I loved this episode from the start. I found it relaxing like a true doctor who episode, not to take away from the other great episodes of the season. It was an easy story which was enticing and fun. The setup between rogue and the doctor felt natural to me and the ending was a great way of showing this. Ncuti was fantastic as always alongisde millie and Jonathan. Overall, I loved this episode like all of the others in this season.

[@dylandevore9047]

I've been loving the new series. It's been so fun. Ncuti has completely filled the shoes

[@qyntifex]

great video! and i can’t wait for you to post your reaction and review tonight’s episode with hehehe someone special

[@olb3587]

The best relationships for the doctor are one-off imo: Girl in the Fireplace, Human Nature, and Rogue are my favourites. Even River, though not my favourite, was at least not a regular companion

[@thenewdarling1]

Segun Akinola’s soundtrack absolutely slapped, he knocked it out of the park and I honestly think it’s the most consistently good thing about the Chibnall era! I feel…. middling towards the Chibnall era, but online opinion is so polarised about it I don’t feel like it’s worth arguing about with most people. Season 12 had a lot of bangers, the Angels episode of Flux and the episode about Partition was peak. I want an entire season of the Fugitive Doctor. I think a lot of the stuff in between that was just.. kind of a bit boring My pet theory is the complete lack of marketing did affect how much people thought about it. RTD2 has really built a hype train that feels like the original revival. Compare that to Chibnall era where I would find out (as a self-professed fan) about entire seasons of Doctor Who as they were airing. Combined with the inconsistent schedule, and it just isn’t on people’s radar for most of the year

[@dwfan91-]

100%

[@TheMellowSide]

I think the point about "getting over the trauma" is a little iffy. You never really fully heal from certain trauma, you just learn to manage it. It's not like a minor physical injury, the memory will always be with you and inform your thinking and behaviours. Therapy helps with managing it's impact on your life, don't get me wrong, but you don't "get over" things like that fully.

[@dwfan91-]

in the context of a long running fictional tv show, you have to make a choice: do you get over it or do you not. you can't pick and choose. every single behaviour he does makes sense if you ignore bigneration and its implications. if you do factor that in, it is simply clunky from a storytelling perspective. you've gotta tie yourself in knots to try and justify it when the truth is, it just makes more sense without it. 13th dr was very reserved, she regenerated and now is much more open >

[@TheMellowSide]

​@@dwfan91- Like dealing with trauma in real life, I don't think that this is that binary a decision. I think what they're aiming to do with that bigeneration "you fixed yourself" stuff is reduce the amount of dwelling on the past traumas of the doctor so that the show can move forward and remain fresh, and giving 10 some emotional closure (as he specifically was one of the most gloomy doctors at points), while still characterising the Doctor as someone with depth. I don't think it's tying the story in knots, unless I'm missing something really all he did was bring up his past poigniantly in a scene that's there to show that Rogue and the Doctor are kindred spirits. I think that's arguably quite healthy behaviour to be able to talk about it. Being over it doesn't mean never talking about it again.

[@mithril3966]

Yeah as someone with cptsd that shit sticks around even after you've been in therapy for a long time. It is not a binary thing at all. I think if they treated it like that it would be a lot less believable. Honestly I think it's a kinda harmful misconception. You can make a lot of progress and still backslide sometimes. It's a lifelong process. Getting retraumatized is also a thing. I know personally being in certain situations again can send me spiraling even if I'd been doing really well before. With the sort of stuff the Doctor's dealing with it's not something you can just get over like that. You can tell he's worked through a lot. He's able to talk more openly about things in a genuine way without getting triggered by it and he's much better at showing his emotions in general. But he still has some questionable coping mechanisms at times. Honestly he reads a lot like many of the traumatized friends I know who have come out the other side of things and worked through stuff but are still shaped by it.

[@spacepenguins8939]

I believe that nowadays of the showrunner does a massive re-write they get a co-writer credit which is why Steven Moffat is a co-writer on so much stuff in series 8 and 9

[@duckgamer9449]

Loved this episode, and LOVE your positivity! I binge your vids so youtube incorrectly recvomends a bunch of negative nelly Who creators to me, but i never bother with them!

[@piman8462]

Rogue could come back. The Doctor has Rogue's ring, so he could use that telepathic circuit thing in the Tardis, though does it work across dimensions?

[@Jenifer_R_]

One theory is that Rogue will be "The one who waits". Not sure how I feel about that. It would wreck his character, and seems a little lazy. If it is him, then you're right that this episode should have been earlier in the season.

[@nimbb8137]

River didn't 'trap' the Doctor. She said his name because she didn't have the luxury of waiting for him to trust her in the moment. She also knew she was going to die and needed one last moment of connection. You need to stay out of incel forums.

Bro I don’t care about rogue EMPIRE OF DEATH JUST CAME OUT

[@alexaneslon3875]

I kinda hate just about all doctor who romances because it just seems gross that someone so old like the doctor is even thinking about someone around 20-30 feels gross.

[@Otherversian]

Honestly, I think that the plot twists were super predictable and tropey and that the episode was all the better for it. It's a classic doomed romance. You *know* Rogue doesn't make it out; someone not from present day earth accepting an offer to travel with the Doctor is always a death sentence. But you don't know how, just yet, so that keeps you watching. When they recalibrate the trap to hold more than the 4 known Chulda, you realise exactly what's going to happen. Rogue is going to take the plunge with them; but you don't know how he'll end up there, so you keep watching. And when Ruby is trapped in it, it clicks. Almost immediately, for me. 5 Chulda, and Rogue is going to switch with Ruby. It's obvious, but it's engaging, and it's perfect for that. When you watch a tragedy, you know how it's going to end but you can't help but mourn anyways. You root for Romeo and Juliet in spite of knowing they both die. As Hadestown puts it, you read the same story day after day hoping the ending will change. I knew exactly what was coming around every corner on my first watch of Rogue, but I don't consider that a flaw. I think it's good writing.

[@dwfan91-]

[@polgarauk5606]

Rogue was a good episode yes and there were moments that I loved however for me personally I wasn't a fan of it and I will admit it is solely because of the era it is set in. I really dislike regency era and find it boring but that is just me. So is it a good episode yes will I rewatch it no same as I don't rewatch Girl in the Fireplace they are just not dor me episodes. As for the Chibnall era I am one who actually enjoyed it on the whole. Did it have it's bad points yes, could the writing have been better sometimes yes. However overall I did enjoy it and will revisit it when binge watching just skipping the episodes I didn't like much.

[@alexaneslon3875]

Also the only problem is have with the chibnal era is that i find the companions boring and like the most average people ever
