I was thinking, "but we've seen earth in other episodes.... both in the near future and the far future. we know it lives on just fine. builds several empires in fact. were good" now of course this implies that someone else is messing around with time perhaps trying to fuck up the human race, or that the doctors own actions have messed earths future up. but i guarantee noone at the BBC is thinking that.

When the doctor regenerates, there's always a period where he doesn't know who he is, where he is or what he's supposed to be doing, and he's kind of running around like a chicken with its head cut off. When jodie whittaker took over as the doctor, the beginning was like that, and I kept waiting for the moment where she remembers that she's the doctor and gets on with her business, but that moment never came.

[@MichaelWerneburg]

bowser515 there is a genius pay off mate. Division in society. Communities of whites, blacks, Asians all frothing at the bit because they’re either being “oppressed” or scapegoated. To busy being furious with one another to see that companies like the BBC, Amazon, Google etc are getting richer and richer, whilst their lives stay the same. I suppose it’s just a coincidence that studies have shown that the more culturally diverse a work force is, the less likely it is to unionise. Well they’re gonna widen those divides as much as possible, and they’re going to lobby the politicians for as much immigration as possible. Get those divisions nice and wide and watch them fight each other. Oh you meant for us? Yea, no pay off for us I’m afraid.

[@GeorgeMonet]

@Mr. Tessera You are misremembering that Simson's episode. Homer didn't eat the crayon. He stuck the crayon up his nose and it somehow ended up lodged in his brain. I also think he means that people who are stupid have to eat the purple crayons to figure out that they taste like paraffin wax and not grape whereas smarter people can gauge both that the taste is terrible just by examining the crayon and also by the fact that they know crayons aren't food. I would say the same about paste eaters.

[@KelticTim]

@@akodaah13-e32 I just miss the Dr in general. The last season of Capaldis Dr was an absolute chore to get thru. Bill was just the worst. Every episode they had to shoehorn in her telling someone she was gay. There’s just no need for it. Let it be known like once or twice with a sly remark or something natural, we didn’t need reminders like a bat to the head every episode. We get it, y’all are woke. Great. The new “Dr” is just the worst. The Timeless Child bullshit retcons and ruins so many of the great past stories. The Dr dying on Trenzalore was a storyline that stretched from multiple seasons, it was a really big deal, and then Clara got the Time Lords to sacrifice their only way back to give him more regenerations, except the Child story line totally wiped out the impact of that. It also wipes out any real drama since he can always regenerate. They’ve just shat on 50yrs of story telling and canon so they can have a female and minority Dr and Master. So pathetic. There were so many easier ways to add a female or black time lord it’s not even funny. Hell, Jenny, The Drs Daughter, is still out there roaming the galaxy, why not just bring her back? I really tried to give this new “dr” a chance. I really did. I made it 10 min into her debut, and I just couldn’t do it. It’s not all her fault, altho admitting she did zero research into a character that’s been around for 50+ yrs was a massive mistake and it shows, the biggest problem is the writing. Chibnal is just the worst. He clearly cares way more about his politics, and bowing to the altar of Wokeness than he cares about good storytelling. I’d say the BBC is 40% at fault, Chibnal is 50% and what’s her name is 10%. She should be higher, but the BBC and Chibnal brought her in, and they control the stories, so they have to take most of the blame.

From *other* roles Whitaker has done, I could see it. Not from her performance as the Doctor, though.

[@JadeRunner]

Matt Smith, like Jodie Whitaker, had never seen an episode of Doctor Who, past or present, when he got the role. The difference is that upon landing the role, Matt Smith immediately binge watched 200 episodes of classic Doctor Who (where he discovered his love of Patrick Troughton's 2nd Doctor), the entire modern series, and did a fuck ton of research on the lore of the show, whereas Jodie Whitaker did nothing but think about how she can inject her political beliefs into the show.

@@xerobeta I respect your thoughts about that. Personally I've always felt that it was a thematically appropriate facade, even if they did go overboard at times with portraying him as a goofball especially in Series 7. This is considering with the Day of the Doctor introducing the War Doctor, that meant Eleven is actually supposed to be the final regeneration of the Doctor and no going back from there until the Time of the Doctor's events grants him more regenerations. That meant once he dies without those regenerations, it's over for him period, and instead of acting old and weary in thinking about all the losses he had, he decides to cope in his own way with a carefree at times childlike nature, plus the dialog of him being named by the Moment as "The man who forgets", it's clear on why he did so even how he ended up with Amy as his companion when she was a child herself and all. Not to mention when he comes to terms with who he is, like in Rings of Akhaten, his speech reflects on how he's been all this time, of having lived too long and seen too much, which reminded me of Ten when he also becomes reflective convincingly enough (to me anyway).

[@UltraKardas]

So let me get this straight. A resort, working in the far ruined future sends magical transporting invitations BACK in time. People use these invitations in the past to send themselves and the people around them unwittingly into the FUTURE to this "vacation spot." The resort needs money (from time travelers? Is modern money still valuable in the future? Can I take my roman empire currency and use it in today's best resorts?) so it can fund terraforming Earth back to being habitable. Because for some reason, the resort has the ability to pay a likely alien species to help save the planet. (How does this resort make/provide food to its clients?) They couldn't just send a warning back through time, with information on how to build their technology to counter global warming? Here's the technology you need capable of mass producing food, space level protection, time travel and more. Oh, and just make this climate mcguffin so the world doesn't get ruined and have humans evolve into monsters of what must have been millions of years. The whole "Dystopia is NOW" shtick that people are pushing is getting so old...

To be fair, I don’t think they send the invites back in time. The Doctor must’ve gotten them the last time he/she was in that time period. That doesn’t make it any better mind you, how the hell do the things manage to transport them to the resort through time if they’re not built for it. At best they’re not connected to the teleporters on the resort but then it would just send them based on coordinates and they’d end up on regular earth in Siberia at whatever time they’re in right now. They’d have to be just at the right time by complete chance for it to work. And well if they work that way then the plot crumbles the second that old guy dies and they could’ve just teleported back to the resort if they had packed cubes with them.

I'm glad this guy does these reviews so I can see what's going on with doctor who without having to torture myself by actually watching it.

[@milestrombley1466]

The Doctor has found Barf's long lost sister!

[@sandman7826]

Well done. I thought it was just me. Soon as it appeared onscreen - 'John Candy, Spaceballs!'

OsakaRose you are fackin kidding , right?

[@ajanis95]

You know, for the first 8 minutes of this I honestly thought "Doctor Impersonator" meant that there was a sub-plot of another timelord impersonating the doctor.

Insert the [ *”Look how they Massacred my boy”* ] meme. Perfectly sums up Dr Who.

_People who try to hide their lack of skill and imagination by leaning heavily on present day political and social issues, the problem is you can only lean on shit like that for so long before public opinion shifts beneath you_ - Excellently put. The clip at 18:49 was just perfect for that 😂

It's gonna be so embarrassing in 10 years when people look back at how pathetic media/politics/everything is now.

[@JamesBurrTV]

There will be a huge gap in popular culture. So much stuff from the past 4 or 5 years will be unwatchable in the future. Hell, it's unwatchable now, but it will all age terribly and so will just be memory-holed.

This is not Doctor who except in name. I believe that he wrote this under the influence of alchohol.

[@Mattinator95]

??? Chibnall didn't write this

[@thedeutschman9905]

Mattinator95 I’m just talking about whoever wrote this, and chibnall approved this.

[@Mattinator95]

@@thedeutschman9905 true . Dosent the BBC also have to approve it

[@thedeutschman9905]

Mattinator95 yes. Think about this episode. This episode somehow made it through the table read, the BBC, and the TV screens without a single person asking WHY?

Not relevant, but I'm curious; what is that avatar image from, DrSNAFU?

[@cindygreene3353]

H.G. Wells started "The Monster is man" in "The Time Machine".

[@paulsmith-gi5vm]

@@cindygreene3353 That's what came to my mind as well, H.G.Wells 1895, "The Time Machine".

[@wjzav1971]

The whole "Man is the Real Monster" was already old thirty years ago. I mean, not that I necessarily disagree, but if you gonna go there, you have to go a little deeper than Man=Evil.
