The BIG VILLAIN Revealed In Doctor Who "The Legend of Ruby Sunday" - Episode Review

[@xedalpha1]

If Sutekh was smart, he'd start his own ASMR KZbin channel where all he does is whisper horrific death threats to his audience for hours. Gold play button in a month.

[@elvynbirch795]

When you mentioned ASMR did you notice that is a anagram of MARS like pyramids of mars

[@elvynbirch795]

🤞

[@Cayles764]

My interpretation of Carla calling Sutekh "The Beast" is very simple. She's just religious and she interpreted Sutekh as Satan and The Beast is one of the many names of Satan.

[@CrankyGrandma]

And this entity may be a number of them. Gabriel Woofe voiced the Beast and Sutehk in Doctor who, to me that’s a hint

[@brettmajeske3525]

In the original Pyramids of Mars Sutekh is explicitly named as the origin for Satan.

[@x-Bailey17-x]

I assumed Ruby's Mother wasn't pointing at the Doctor, but was pointing at Sutekh engulfing the Tardis. We just couldn't see Sutekh at this point.

[@drewroosevelt6506]

It’s not her mother! ;)

[@MatD1979]

People said " Who" was dead. In retrospect, I think this season shaped up to be pretty epic. Sutekh is back.

[@drewroosevelt6506]

RTD knows how to pull off an epic reveal and I suspect there is more to come! (The woman)

[@lesigh1749]

The audience numbers are in the toilet.

[@drewroosevelt6506]

@@lesigh1749 Is that UK or is that global? I watch in Canada and the show has gained in the US and Canada over the years. Perhaps it's down now but I don't know what the Disney numbers are.

[@lesigh1749]

@@drewroosevelt6506 In the UK its averaging around 3.5 million consolidated each week, which is a record low, and if it doesnt air well in the UK, it doesnt get made at all. Globally Disney wont reveal its numbers which is a bad sign but its failed to even chart in the US Nielsen's or other charts, so its certainly pulling under 1 million views. it had a much bigger audience in the USA and Canada back when Matt Smith was the Doctor, it slid down to only a few hundred thousand through Whittaker. There's no evidence that its increased under Gatwa, it could be even lower.

[@Azrael_Equinox]

Trust me, as a non classic fan, Sutekh's reveal was hype af. I have no clue who he is but the build up is insanely well done.

[@nicholasfarrell5981]

Y'know how hyped up Thanos' power was in the MCU? Yeah, basically that. But more.

[@paulmanners8736]

I honestly haven't been this excited to see the next episode since I saw the Cybermen return in Earthshock way back in 1982. I also feel that Mrs Flood Is the Rani , an anagram of rain = Flood.

[@oathy03]

Mrs Flood I think this is a double bluff, Notice her mouth. She's got a gold tooth its very subtle but as she breaks the 4th wall you can just see the glint. Given what's happened to Susan I cant see her actually being nasty, Insane theory time Is she the God of Weather and Ruby is her harbinger basically her daughter, When Ruby's in danger it snows. More worrying i know they said Ruby is in the 2nd series but so far all the outside shooting she's not there. Does this mean however this ends the character changes? now we know the TARDIS is currently not able to be used, Does this mean a possible Cameo by DT/CT "Borrow mine" I sincerely hope they DO NOT do this because its just going to fire up his fans about how much they miss him. We know from the promo that's now been changed from the memory TARDIS he's going to get into one and see the entire universe dead. Could the Doctor actually be the God of life?

[@NikitaBenCarter]

I presume the gold tooth is the Master which Toymaker made and a unknown person picked up at the end of the giggle.

[@Krsfal]

Rubys mother is pointing at the Tardis.

[@ColtonRMagby]

Sutekh's reveal scared the shit out of me. That fear of what he might do hit HARD. He's also genuinely terrifying in design.

[@WaitKlaaw]

thought rubys mum was pointing at the entity above the tardis like a warning. also mrs flood might be the god Tefnut the god of water and amy might be her harbinger

[@robertrawley1115]

*Why does EVERYONE ASSUME that who (or what) left Ruby at the Church door is/was her Mother?* It's nice to think that. Ruby thinks that. Carla even projects her crying at leaving Ruby in the VHS Time Window playback... Even though she cannot see whether it's a man woman or beast. Everyone seems to assume only a mother would leave a baby at a church door. A Father could be just as caring if the Mother died in childbirth. In the nine episodes with Ncuti and Millie can anyone point to 'actual evidence' that shows the person (or who/what) deposited Ruby at the Church is a woman...much less that it is Ruby's Mother? NO ONE in the penultimate episode could actually see or describe the hooded figure. I sincerely think we've all been carefully led down the garden path...to what we'll find out next week... Or, if unlucky, possibly next series😢.

[@thomaskeable2322]

I believe that sutekh is back doctor who have seen 1975 in tom baker as fourth doctor and Elizabeth

[@nicholasfarrell5981]

3:19 - I mean, it wouldn't surprise me if UNIT has VHS-compatible technology on hand just in case they need to deal with another Wire or the such.

[@LissaxCupcakex]

I think that the hooded figure in Ruby Road isn't Ruby's mother but The Trickster. Ruby's mum struck a deal with The Trickster, and that's why Ruby was abandoned at the church.

[@jeffcarey3045]

For a "Season One" this is an oddly distant throwback. I expected this to be for new viewers. I expect a lot of new viewers are just wondering what the hell is going on.

[@elvynbirch795]

Suteck is controlling the TARDIS like possessed it and Harriet is trying to protect it too but Susan gone creepy when changes to something scary and who is mysterious figure in the cloak I think it was herself as a mum telling the doctor your in danger

[@Connor-pr5re]

I honestly belive that modern who has the right idea but no clue how to get it going in would love for the one who waits to take a back seat and bring the trickster back maybe even the kids from the Sara Jane adventures and that's the plot line rather then this drawn out who did it kinase thing there doing atm but that's just my opinion

[@OTGGame]

I really want that music

[@MeidasWhovianAdvocate]

I'm going to enjoy the Finale.

[@rbazemore]

My guess is Ruby is the child of a God

[@aliservan7188]

Epic? Seriously? It's something the entire internet saw coming months in advance, the first half was so dull, the pacing was dreadful, slow for the first half with way too much exposition, and the last act was ridiculously rushed. Everything from the TARDIS not materialising now, to the Doctor no longer being a hero, to shoddy SFX for the final villain. It's just so inconstant, so you get a great bit like the time window or Mel as a spy, then ruin it with shonky VFX or tick box characters in there and not used!(looking at you Rose). This whole series, although miles better than anything Chibnal ever did, it's rushed, short, and even though it's entertaining, it's just not Doctor who

[@harryhughes6124]

Although I disagree with some of the detailed points you made, I do agree with your overall assessment. The individual episodes are the best quality episodes we've had in ages, but the episodes don't work well with each other, which combined with a short season, just makes it feel disconnected and then it feels like we've suddenly rushed into the finale. I have enjoyed it, but something seems off about the season as a whole.

[@aliservan7188]

@@harryhughes6124 Exactly... it's ... weird, it's like a Dr Who series written by someone who's read about it but never actually watched an episode

[@JacquesSagittarius]

More haters to the show these days. Dunno what has happened, but it’s the only British series that I’ve been following since 2015. My starter is Eccleston, and my Doctor is Tennant. It’s part of my life even if it’s just lame for some episodes. The latest episode was great and nearly phenomenal. Love Mel and Kate.
