      You people do realize that changing the Target was necesary but the actual activating of the Bombs was not, yeah?!?!

    It was the most Doctor who-ish episode this series, but in any other series, it would have been a filler story between better episodes that advanced the series meta plot.
    Of course, this year there is no series meta plot, and the other episodes have all been more like the Sarah Jane Adventures meet the magic school bus, so Kerblam stands out head and shoulders above the rest.

    While it was OK, there was a big point that broke it for me.
    That's after the girl gets kill and the doctor finds out and instead of being mad or angry about she actually approves of it, because it was meant to make the guy understand how other people would feel.
    There have been other doctors in similar situations and they got angry after any death even when it was for a "good" purpose.

    I was strangely surprised that this episode didn't turn into a Cyberman revival episode, it had all the pieces: Workers going missing, a bunch of humanoid robots, a central sentient AI, that wired human mush pit, random heavy uses of power which could have been a hint towards the conversion process. I was expecting the help me to be a human who got converted but still had a shred of their humanity, but hey ho nostalgia

    I’m worried about this doctors future regeneration, every regeneration up to here has been stemming from a fairly dark and serious episode, usually the doctor facing a powerful enemy and typically trying to fight the dark side of their personality but I just can’t see this with this doctor, she takes barley anything seriously and all the villains up to here have been quite small and fair easily defeated. I feel like they would either bring back an old villain (Daleks, cybermen etc) or make a new probably sup par villain. I just hope the show gets better before then but again great review, keep it up !!

    They might as well get rid of Yaz because she serves no purpose. she’s meant to be a police officer but couldn’t restrain Charlie who doesn’t look like the toughest of guys.
    Also the moral of the episode would be that ‘Do a terrorist act in order to get your own way,’ by that Charlie blew all the robots up and got his wish of getting more humans employed. Which is obviously a not a good moral to have (I know they didn’t mean the episode to come across that way).

      Why was Yaz even a police officer? It's had no bearing on her character or role. In the spider episode a man pointed a gun at her - her being a police officer was fucking useless.
      Also, too many companions bogs this series down. It's already too short at 10 episodes now each episode seems to swap between a focus companion - so we only scratch the surface of multiple people instead of getting indepth view of one. Also it's a new Doctor and we get less time getting to know her female form.

Would've been a way better dynamic, a lot more fresh and original, and we would have been able to get to know the characters better. Yaz brings absolutely nothing to the story, other than a potential love interest to the Doctor (and sadly, to tick off a box).

    Agreed on the conveyor belt scene. Also I’m never a fan of weird gimmicky threats (WHY BUBBLE WRAP). It immediately takes the seriousness out!
    Also can we talk about story arc? Anyone else thinking there’s one being set up for the finale about the demise of humanity in the future?
    Ep 1: humans are hunted
    Ep 2: humans on a game to win money and contestant wants to use money to save her family
    Ep 3: villain is sent back in time but not dead
    Ep 4: N/A as set in present day Earth
    Ep 5: felt like doctors without boarders but in space (intergalactic unrest?)
    Ep 6: assassins now witnesses to the lonely dead
    Ep 7: humans are now being outnumbered in workforce by automation and sounds like life is pretty miserable for the people of Kandoka.
    I would love to see a 2 part finale that tied these all together. The idea the humanity didn’t prosper immediately after leaving earth and actually almost ended due to it’s own undoing/new threats from space would be an interesting way to complete these very “human” themed series.

    • @NotAnotherKuromi
      @NotAnotherKuromi 5 лет назад +1

      Bubble wrap isn't a gimmicky threat, it is a non obvious clever way to place an explosive. It is the same ideas that terrorists use in real life, people overlook common every day items, like bins, toothpaste, a water bottle etc so they are not studied carefully nor stick out...So make the perfect improvised weapons.
      Using this idea has helped people evade arrest, many serial killers have a modus operandi, if it is something like stabbing the victim 100 times with a specific knife it is easy to link the victims, then use evidence from each victim to piece together clues & catch the killer. However if the link is more subtle like all the victims visit the same knitting website, that is something most would overlook & not think to mention, so the victims are not linked & the murder not found.
      Also personally I always take mass murderer seriously, no matter its delivery.

      Sadly, none of that happened, but that would have been really interesting to see. It is easy to imagine that humanity didn't find its footing immediately when they "took to the sky" as they were out of their depth, with no idea about the universe and some other beings probably would not have taken kindly to them. I wish we've got to see that instead of that "meh" season finale.

    Is it just me that thinks the Kerblam episode brakes the Tardis lore. Because the Kerblam man teleported in AND out of the Tardis! If a godamn amazon shipping company has the technology to TELEPORT INTO A TARDIS (which is a different dimension ) then why can’t the Darleks ?
    They could just teleport them self’s in and the doctor out simultaneously. And when the doctor got teleported out of the Tardis for the first time HE WAS SCARED SHITLESS. So what’s with the darleks being less advanced than BLOODY HUMANS!

      I think it's more like the doctor ordered something, so told the TARDIS to let the delivery arrive. Though I agree with Alden above - We also saw Donna teleport inside during The Runaway Bride, and the crew teleported inside the TARDIS during Asylum of the Daleks, so perhaps there's a setting that lets through things in distress?

    Here we go!
    Love the strictly joke.
    I felt the same about the first shots of Kerblam
    So true about the Postman Pat similarity
    Agree on the traditional opinion
    I feel the ending in the hanger was really well done. The delivery of the lines was exactly what his character was (in my opinion) desperate. His plan was about to be foiled and he had lost his love. Love is a powerful emotion. Another example of this is the end of the Order of the Phoenix book. Harry's pain at loosing the only person he had ever been able to love was so great that he became something that he wasn't. To me a similar thing happen to Charlie. When Kera dies (due to his bomb) he blames himself (the same as Harry) but tries to blame others (the system/Snape) for doing some irrational. All be it in HP just smashing a few instruments but the concept is still there.
    The thing I love about this episode is that it's that:
    Waters of mars
    Blink
    Knock knock
    The bells of saint John
    Bad wolf
    The eleventh hour
    The Hungary earth
    Sleep no more
    Listen
    Flatline
    The pilot
    Smile
    That really makes you fear something that you experience in your every day life that makes the show trully horrifying.
    My ranking for Kerblam would be a 9.5/10.
    > The arc was great
    > The reference to Agetha Cristie was clever given the who dubnit type episode
    > There were subtle nods through the episode about the true villain
    > The episode did a great job of making you feel attached to key characters that would make their death more impactful
    > The episode makes logical sense
    > The music was great
    My only criticism is the CG in the opening scene as described in the video. I can cope with the scene on the conveyer but not with the one at the beginning.
    That's why it gets a 9.5/10

    @irrevenant3 5 лет назад +2

    I didn't see the inclusion of the fez and the mention of "The unicorn and the wasp" as bootlicking, BTW. The latter was just the sort of continuity reference the Doctor engages in all the time.
    The inclusion of the Fez did a lot of work:
    - It explained why the TARDIS let the package materialise on board (it knew the Doctor had ordered the package)
    - It was a cute bit for long-term fans.
    - It reinforced that the Doctor is both sorta still the same person as Matt Smith and sorta not. "Does it still suit me?" was very much a reflection of the "Who am I now?" question that every new Doctor goes through.
    - As a bonus it follows on from the season 5 throwaway line "Well I can always get another fez...".
    I thought that was a really neat idea, honestly.

    • @irrevenant8724
      @irrevenant8724 4 года назад

      @ilikebacon That's arguably true. But the Doctor has always tended to voice random thoughts out loud without expecting the companions to be able to answer. Thirteen in particular often seems to like narrating her entire thought processes.
      It would also be fairly tricky to fit a moment into the episode where the Doctor chats to a mirror on her own.
      There's probably a little room to refine the scene, but I think it worked well enough as is.

    • @irrevenant8724
      @irrevenant8724 4 года назад

      @ilikebacon "Does this still suit me?" is a question you have to ask someone who can actually see you. A literal mirror would be necessary if you wanted to ask it of yourself. The companions can tell her if it suits her, even if they don't know what she looked like in it before.
      But more importantly, it's never been the Doctor's style to mumble to themself. When the Doctor has a thought, they tend to broadcast it to the room.
      What would the actual benefit be to having the Doctor act out of character here by talking to themself rather than the surrounding people?
      BTW my personal answer to the question is yes, the fez still suits her. :D

    I love your reviews Harry, despite disagreeing with you a lot of the time, it's interesting to get a different perspective. That said, I don't think lack of explanation for world building (I.E the Kandoka working wages/Kerblam! purchases) is necessarily a fair criticism. Along with that, it's a bit presumptuous to say that references to past episodes or Doctors like the fez or the Agatha Christie reference are necessarily arse kissing on the writer's part. Doctor Who has always referenced it's past, the occasional throw-away line/reference is nothing more than a nod to long time fans, or some fanservice for those who like that sort of thing.
    I find the criticisms on the ending and total brushing off of "Oh, there's employees turned into black goop" much more fair. The small things or statements based on presumption don't make for great reviews. When you look at discontinuity in tone, storyline, or character (Such as Ryan, good lord I had high hopes for him and he's become exactly what I feared he'd be... boring) then I feel I take much more away from your videos. Just thought I'd weigh in since you mentioned reevaluating the way you review things at the start. Total reevaluation isn't necessary, but we can all always improve, right?

They also have no reason to jump to him, why don't they just stay on their own belt??! The doctor doesn't condemn the fact that the system just killed a guy. Why is it bad that bad jobs are automated, isn't that the point where a good society introduces UBI or sth equivalent?? Why do they blow Up the bubble wrap in the first place? Why is she okay with killing Charlie, he didn't hear what was happening, he didn't commit suicide, he just didn't know they would explode right there?

    A. They don't need to. Kerblam! delivers offworld (it even delivers to TARDISes mid-vortex!) so it's customer base needn't be Candokan, only it's workforce. Market forces again - set your business up somewhere where labour is cheap like China, and then sell to planets that are wealthy like the US. That's the big threat of globalism isn't it? That any improvement to standards of working conditions in a developed country will only motivate more out-sourcing to countries with poor standards of working conditions.
    Q. Would he survive 5 seconds of falling?
    A. What's the acceleraton due to gravity on this MOON? I know there's no indication that the moon's gravity is any different from Earth's in that they don't bounce around the corridors, but maybe the error is there rather than here, or maybe there is artificial gravity at selected parts of the warehouse.

    The one thing about this episode I really didn't like is they took a major part of cannon Doctor Who lore and tossed it out the window. The TARDIS, which is supposed to be impenetrable, is easily entered by a delivery robot transporting into the TARDIS.

    But have we reached our quota for "number of good episodes in this series"? Is it unreasonable to ask for a second good episode?

    You haven't watched any Troughton? He is my favourite Doctor ever! Try the Mind Robber and enjoy.
