What were your thoughts? I wanna know.
Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE :)
Great amount of emotion but I’m hoping more range from the doctor and companion actors than fun and demise. Peter Capaldi nailed this by choosing the best moments for the doctor to be emotional but always hopeful.
@@mr.fghjkl4871 sadly that is all in the writing and Russells vision for where he wants the character to go this time round :)
We all know what it’s like to have an algorithm make us fight amongst ourselves 😢
Well I literally thought this as a RUclipsr.. but its kind of part of our everyday lives now?
I REALLY liked this episode. My TV was playing up but I was completely captivated by the story. You wouldn;t think a story taking place in one crater for this long could really be sustained this long. But it was brilliant.
I actually didn't recognise Susan Twist. I love that it's really her name and that it's got fans worked up wondering if there is something to do with Susan coming as a twist. I'd actually love it if it came to nothing and she just happened to be there for most of the season as a total red herring.
Yeah it was so suspenceful and enjoyable, Ha! Susan Twist just hanging around set. we need someone to do this this and that oh yeah thats fine.. episode 8.. susan twist who?
The Doctor getting his Zen on to the Skye Boat Song is a little nod to Ncuti being Scottish, but more so the fact that the Second Doctor famously played the Skye Boat Song on his recorder (VERY frequently lol). Also, trust Moffat to bring out the Scottishness haha.
I personally love when the doctor goes all scottish i can just relate to it for obvious reasons haha
'I'm An Explosive' was one of William Hartnell's first films.
You're very resilient. I haven't been able to watch a full episode since somewhere in the Capaldi line. I get 10 mins in, cringe, and do something else lol. It's weird, still love the old stuff to this day. My kids have also given up on it in the last few years too. Thanks for the review though, it's good to jump in and see what is going on.
Yeah I Enjoy This Show, don't think I will stop to be honest, Your Welcome glad you can still at least get a catch up on it all :)
It's hard to believe that this is the first time Ruby's set foot on another planet... Dialogue in the last ep suggests they've been travelling together for a while.
I know, I believe this episode was supposed to come before the devil's chord.
@@TardisTalks Ah, then that would make more sense... :)
And when the Doctor appears to have lost his key at the end, is it HIS key - or Ruby's - that Ruby dangles in front of him? Will his "lost" key be how Varada comes back into the show next season? Although RTD's said that "Munday's story is over...." - which suggests, however she comes back, it's as a totally different character.
And what sort of name is "Splice" to give your daughter?
And why did Ncuti keep pronouncing "Villengard" differently to everyone else who's ever said the word - with the stress on the "en" rather than on the "Vill"? Did no one on set notice? (I guess it's like Matt Smith mispronouncing "Metebelis" way back when....)
Great review with some thought-provoking comments, Mr Talks. Have a sub!
I think the key would have been the doctors if the episodes were not moved but we would now need to assume its Ruby's since she was gave a key in the prior episode.
I don't know, it feels off and I had a weird feeling when the doctor said she will grow up to be a president or something important.. Is splice gonna come back?
I can answer the problem with the pronunciation as i tend to have the same issue, its the scottish accent we over pronounce on certain letters and words sometimes making it sound like a different word or said differently.
Thank You Mark it is appreciated :)
42 would more likely be not a reference to that episode in particular, because that episode was already a reference to THGTTGs 42
Fun fact: Joe Anderson is the actor who played John, and he is 42 IRL (not creepy that I know that specific detail, I looked up the cast list for the episode because he looked familiar).
Playing someone who is his actual age is probably awesome for an actor, I know Millie Gibson is happy to be playing a 19 Year old lol.
Nice video - loved the Easter eggs at the end! Overall I liked the set-up of this episode, but thought the ending fell flat. Also, 'next of kin' doesn't have to be a blood relation! Legally speaking, if you're adopted (like Ruby) your next of kin will be your adoptive parents. Although to be fair, perhaps the rules are different in the 3000s!
Thank You!, and Thank You for subscribing also, Yeah the next of kin thing has kind of got me now cause I watched another video with a different view-point on it and they suggested what if it was to show Ruby's age? like she doesn't really know what to say regarding Next of Kin..
I still don’t know how I feel about this Doctor, I was one of the hardcore fans who dropped off during the 13th era & I was so excited for the return of 10 & Donna but those episodes were disappointing to say the least so my hopes going into this new Doctor were set very low after the specials. However I did really enjoy this episode, it felt more “Doctor Who” like than all the previous episodes thus far and hopefully it will continue in this direction.
I also am liking how right off the bat the season has a mysterious story arc surrounding the doctors companion that is very reminiscent of Amy Pond’s story arc and I can’t wait to see where it goes.
Honesty this was something that I sorely missed in the 13 era, all her episodes seemed very very rushed, the companions all felt very one dimensional & there weren’t any good story aches or two/three part episodes that all the other doctors had throughout their seasons & the ones that she did have were again, very very rushed & empty feeling. The only one I was mildly interested in was the last episode or two where the master turns all the time lords into cybermen.
Yeah I haven't got a massive love for 13's era despite continuing to try and like it, I have noticed the specials were actually better on rewatch I just wanted them all the other night, there is some Meh well that didn't really need to be in there parts but overall enjoyable.
Yeah I am loving having the mystery boxes and story arcs back too cause S11-12 had virtually nothing to keep you drawn in:( and S13 attempted it and well didn't pay off with it..
Don’t think the dad reference was about Jenny. But his earlier children (he has a granddaughter so must have had a child to have a granddaughter)
Jenny or his earlier children, Not sure though because RTD does like fan service and we have all wanted Jenny back for years now..
@@TardisTalks I would love to see Jenny back but given the Susan direct reference and name drop last week I think we’re more likely it’s about that side of his family.
@@TardisTalks I would love to see Jenny back but given the Susan direct reference and name drop last week I think we’re more likely it’s about that side of his family.
@@CulturePhilter God knowing RTD it could literally be anyone.. Just full of surprises that amazing brain of his 🤣
The Adventure with the lesbian Gymkhana probably never happened, it's Moffats MO to describe events that happened offscreen that never happened. We all remember Jim the Fish and Pickick at Asgard.
Edit: Sorry, of course Jim is called a fish and not a fush.
Yeah I did gather as much but wasn't 100% sure as well.. doctor who is sooo vast haha. ohhh Jim the Fish.. How is He?
We need a Jim The Finish spin off show!
(I wonder if he’s actually a fish, or that fish like alien species in The Doctor’s Daughter?)
Ohh I always pictured Jim The Fish to be more like the Vampires of Venice species but they are all wiped out now so we will have to go with the Hath then wont we haha..
@@TardisTalks Oooh, I totally forgot about the “Vampires” in Venice, that would be pretty cool ngl.
IIRC there’s a minister where they have the wrong fish thinking it’s Jim but it’s just a regular goldfish, so maybe Jim just looks like a goldfish :/
@@Smakka13420 Its sad as I don't think we will ever get to mee Jim The Fish now :(
Reminds me of the film ‘Screamers’ when they were talking about the mines migrating.
Ohh I have never seen this, possible steven has took inspo from this movie though.
@@TardisTalks
Just make sure it's the one from 1995.
@@MillywiggZ Noted thanks.
We all know that the Doctor is a father. Susan had to come from somewhere right?
So is the doctors child the one who really waits?
@@TardisTalks
In the books, Susan was from Gallifrey's Rassilon-era, just as Rassilon was coming to power over the psychic matriarchy empire. The Hand of Omega kicked the recently-stolen TARDIS past the usual barriers so the Doctor could meet and take Susan.
Also, in that era, Time Lords had children. As the Gallifreyan empire fell, it was cursed by the matriarch and became sterile; Rassilon held off the time-travel experiments and developed regeneration to stop the race from dying out. From that were invented the machines called the Looms that created new Time Lords/Ladies.
Davies and Moffat have said off-screen, because Georgia isn't coming back, that the rocket she launched in collided with a moon and killed her.
I'm not trying to be negative. I'm not making this up. Search it for yourself.
More likely it's this "Twist" woman, nothing as disconnected or sideways as Jenny.
Dont forget when ncuti said dad to dad he could have been referring to the doctors daughter
I did mention this in the easter eggs section at the end did I not?
Or Susans parent...
Why couldn’t he use the sonic screwdriver on the mine? Can someone tell me what the screwdriver can and can’t do.
He couldn't use the screwdriver because he didn't lift it when he left the tardis and neither did Ruby, the events started to eleveate hence why Ruby couldn't leave to go and get it and well.. the screwdriver could have potentially worked it could have also backfired..
The screwdriver does everything the writers need it to do except and this is usually the only exception It Doesn't Work On Wood.
@@TardisTalksthanks for clearing that up. I found that weird about the screwdriver but the ending was decent. I’m hoping they don’t make Ruby a Clara copy but next episodes should give us more insight.
@@mr.fghjkl4871 Yeah hope not. But we shall see :)
@@TardisTalks That still doesn't work. In the anniversary movie they were going to use it on wood. There's nothing inherent in "sonic" that doesn't work on wood. Plus, Jack's gun was supposed to use the same technology from the same factory and worked perfectly on wood, even to the point of RESTORING the wood.
I really want to know where you get "didn't lift it when he left the TARDIS" from, as he usually carries it in a pocket. I've heard people claiming that he didn't know the mine and therefore couldn't have done anything with it, but now I've seen the episode it's obvious he knows the mine QUITE well.
@@mr.fghjkl4871 She got listed as 3000+ years old. So either they have her DNA on record from over 3000 years ago on a different planet and just did the maths with time travel (why would they get those records, how?), or they used some kind of dating technology which is messed up because time travel regardless, she's still 19.
Which also means there's another problem with the scripts: the ambulances are supposed to triage and diagnose and treat human illnesses. It should have absolutely blown its own head out on meeting a THREE THOUSAND YEAR OLD GIRL.
Even Martha got to be special because she went commando around the world gathering / encouraging the Doctor's psychic energy for a year that now never happened. Every assistant is going to be special somehow, now.
10:24 But it's NOT a war zone... the soldiers just thought it was... that's one of the points.
Yeah I got that, But they should have still been out fighting and there should have still been background noise as they were out fighting mud and fog..
To be fair, if you think it's a warzone and act in it as if it were a warzone, that MAKES it a warzone.
To be more fair, they should have been finding a way to destroy the mud and were doing NOTHING. I mean, lasers to dry out the mud? Fire and napalm across the fields?
The Anglican marines did surprisingly little in the way of prayer services.
For a war driven by economics, they're using therefore buying very little weaponry and ammunition.
Who's placing the mines if the mines are theirs?
If they're trying to sell things, why aren't they just charging more for blindness treatments to get soldiers back on the battlefield instead of killing them?
If they're trying to sell things, why are the mines REUSABLE and self-maintaining?
If they're trying to sell things, why aren't the ambulances and mines giving holograms of the enemy to SHOOT AT so they approach and set off the mines, or use ammunition, or get injured and require expensive healthcare?
Why are the flesh caskets LEFT ON THE BATTLEFIELD, why not charge the families a fee for the ambulances returning the message to base?
For that matter, how did the Doctor go from a run to perfect balance on a mine?
The Doctor was resting, apparently, 6kg of force of his bodyweight on his other leg. Which means what, at least the other 50-70kg on the other leg? Wasn't really going to make much difference.
Also, if the flesh of a whole body is smelted/compressed, if it was partly wrinkly and was there an eyeball in there, then obviously the liquid hasn't been removed, so how does an adult male soldier including muscle mass get brought down to SIX KILOGRAMS?
Splice made it through an invisible-mine-field AND DIDN'T HIT A MINE.
In a warzone with horrifying scary violent dangerous machines in sight, SHE SAT DOWN TO WATCH HAPPY SNAPS?
And the Doctor leaving the TARDIS without the screwdriver, that's even more ridiculous than the rest. Moffat could've had a laser grid with multiple protected emitters to force standing still, but a reusable mine in an economically driven war, it doesn't make sense. None of it made sense. It made so little sense, it was impossible to feel anything at the end.
If Moffat really tried to make this episode about capitalism, it's incomprehensible. Paid as much as he is, he should've written a script that made sense. Nothing about this episode makes sense and I don't understand how Moffat has his reputation, it's as senseless as everybody thinking Elon Musk is a genius.
People love these episodes and Moffat and NEITHER OF THEM DESERVE LOVE. We all deserve something better. Excuses shouldn't be made for this show; everybody should stand up and demand better of a company with resources like Disney, experience like the BBC and people getting paid as much money and apparently respect as Davies and Moffat.
This show used to genuinely inspire thinking and love of knowledge and care and compassion and now it's just nonsensical. I've loved this show since 1979 and sometimes this makes me want to cry. You think that makes me negative? You think what I'm saying is negative? Why is it you don't think the show is negative? WHY?
the "sypnosis"?
A synopsis is a brief summary which gives readers an overview of the main points. In an academic context, this is usually a summary of a text (a journal article, book, report etc) but in some instances you might be writing a synopsis of a talk, film or other form of presentation.
I know… I was commenting on how you mispronounced it.
@@tatin_sesamin Oh bear in mind I recorded this at 2 oclock in the morning in the UK.. also I am scottish and this happens with a lot of words.. accent:)
This has to be my favourite review so far 😊
It is so insightful 😊
I agree on the music being a theme and possibly due to the hidden song within Ruby. I personally think this episode would have been better placed before Devils Chord. The first time seeing a planet like this yet in Devils Chord the mention of travelling together for 6 months, the hints with the music being important in this episode would then translate better to the lack of music sorry more change in music in Devils Chord and the importance of it.
I do have to say one thing and it has been the same in every review, you all state Ruby was shot dead but she wasn't dead she never actually fully died she was near death but never died. The Ambulance was preparing to basically kill her with the Next of kin bit as it did with the soldier. Ruby was upset because she couldn't think who her next of kin would be hence the snow as she was trying to remember or think who to name. The ambulance glitching on it is because there is only a record of her birth but none of parents and that 'confused' it's algorithm.
I loved the Doctor speaking parent to parent to Splices Dad and getting through to him that way and a parents love for their child saving the day. I loved the fake out of ambulance appearing as a hologram and saying the AI failed then glitching out and him not having failed. I do think the mention yet again of The Doctor being a parent could be significant and more to come BUT his playing on that in this situation was a natural thing to do for me so may actually not be.
Overall I think this is my favourite episode so far, it's not perfect but I would say it's a 8-8.5/10 I may change that to higher depending on episodes that follow I like to leave some leeway 😂
The best Steven Moffat episode ever no a bloody good episode yes.
Thank you for this in depth reply, I always love to hear the opinions of others as it not only helps me piece together parts I may have not seen or overthought but helps me make my content better for the next video so thank you for this.
I took the next of kin part with Ruby’s death to be more her wanting the machine to tell her who her parents are, but even this advanced AI from the future couldn’t figure it out, and that’s why is started going berserk.
@@Smakka13420 This was the way I had taken it also.
@@TardisTalks Ahh, so refreshing to have a Doctor Who video that isn’t completely swamped with constant negativity about the new series and just people excited about it and swapping ideas and theories on what’s gonna happen.
Haven’t been this hyped about mysteries since The Vault (which I always guessed was Missy, but loved the suspense of what/who’s in the vault).
@@Smakka13420 It is lovely and that is the exact type of community I want to build for this channel :)
In a word DULL
The clock is ticking until DW is boom cancelled.
We shall see when we get the viewing figures.
@TardisTalks the viewing figures for overnight was 2 million, and that's the lowest ever.
@@neil4920 Yeah might wanna take into consideration that it was moved to a whole new format and most people after waiting for so long to see the new series would have watched it on D+ or iPlayer before it even came on tv, its the 7+ day figures that matter to Doctor Who now not the 24h ones.
@TardisTalks there are always excuses for crappy shows who shill for this type of rubbish. Plus, there is no independent service (in the UK) to verify the BBC iPlayer and Disney+ figures. In America, they have an independent service that verify viewing figures, though, and that will be interesting.
@@neil4920 you do know the 24h figures don't include iPlayer streams in the UK yeah? those go into the 7+ Figures, The only Figures available so far are from the people who didn't want to enjoy the nice weather and sat in and watched Dr Who on TV as normal.. All other figures are yet to be announced, The figures will be fine.
