thrawn527 posted:Yeah, I basically have every question here, too. (Except the one about the woman’s arm. That’s obviously the actress’s arm and who cares?) It wasn't, that's why I asked, a character I cannot name who, if she hasn't had an arm previously, I didn't notice or see it, and if I did, it's a TV show I won't assume everything I see on a character is part of the human being (what happened to Swarm's actors face? Why is his skin purple and glittery and covered in crystals???) --and she's acting cagey about some experience with Dan or the adventure and the main thing about her I remember is having a really good idea at some point in one of many unclear settings and circumstances. I was asking about the character in context of the show, which featured people turning into angels and infinite energy whatever the hells and portals and fluxes and god knows what else that I could've missed. Turned out to be nothing, that's fine. Jerusalem posted:many answer Well, there is stuff I just missed but a lot just left unresolved and a lot of that unresolved stuff kind of feels like stuff we'd be lucky to just have skipped over with next folks. I think I'm alright with Time being some kind of entity I guess, honestly that chafes me less than a planet Time for some reason. That does just beget a billion questions though. First, where's the domain for this entity, all universes, just this one, perhaps a certain radius? Second... is Time the Timeless Child's mom or otherwise related to The Doctor? As for the ominous warning, I wonder if Time was being "cosmic being perspective" about The Doctor's end. AFAIK we got up to Doctor 26 before they needed to petition for more bonus lives, right? To a being like Time, reckon that could feel extremely soon. I hope Bel and Vinder show up again whether they have some bigger connection to doc or not. I get why the main companions are always from Earth, but I always like when we get some folks in the party who live in the broader or older universe. Narsham posted:many answer I kind of have to assume you're right and that Time will have reversulated everything, just seems like there's not really anywhere to go if everything is just gone. Hard to do a show about going everywhere anytime when there's nothing. I did look up chameleon arch and I do remember these devices, and I feel like he was setting up something for him to unpack rather than to leave for the hand-off. One thing I did notice since it's come up a few times as something ignored later in the show (and probably also explicitly referenced already but my brain is full of holes): quote:There was an account suggesting that the Seventh Doctor, prior to his regeneration into his eighth incarnation, made use of a broken Arch to create the fiction that he was half-human to use against the Master. (COMIC: The Forgotten, TV: Doctor Who) Not a bad way to reframe it. I will say that even though I'd be happy to skip the cruel time travel origin stuff, I also really do want to see 13 crack that thing open and huff some memories and see what the hell is up. Wonder if he'll save it for the final special because he has to to either figure it out himself or set up other stuff first.

So if the Lupari are all soul bonded to an individual human, where were all the others grabbing their human like Karvanista was doing Dan?

They all showed up to do just that, but the Doctor asked them to instead form a shield around the planet rather than just collect a human each and ride out the Flux itself, and the Good Doggy agreed. Apparently he was either the leader or chosen spokesman for the race, since we never saw any of the others and they seemed to follow his orders without issue.

Except for that single one that died off screen for no reason. Also apparently they didn't need to be in charge of their spaceships for them to work, so I'm not sure why that even happened. Or why none of them went down to the planet earth instead of spending the rest of the foreseeable future sitting in small metal cans as a part of a giant space net. Or why no one on earth really seemed to notice that there was a giant space wall between them and the rest of the universe. Or...

So... like.. the bulk of the universe is dead to the fluxx and they're just leaving it like that? Holy poo poo a glimmer of what 13 could be in the interrogation scene, which just makes all the other hackney writing stand out even more. Jodie you deserved wayyyyy better, but gently caress me I'll be glad when you're gone. Village of the Angels is the stand out ep for sure. Remove all the side-story nonsense and it'd be a killer stand alone ep.

Logopolis only destroyed one named planet, Traken (which was barely mentioned again even with Nyssa on board). It was bad in a different way.

Open Source Idiom posted:Yeah, I'm not really sure what they can do about it. Ijust assume that everyone who died, died. This basically leaves them with one planet in the entire universe, and realistically, that planet would be turbofucked by the debris from the rest of the dead universe or whatever refugees are left in it. I mean, I guess Chib could really want to play around with dead-universe but the previews indicate everything's probably normal.

As before, this episode had ideas that might've been good on their own, but mixed in with this storyline they were just wasted. The Timeless Child stuff was pretty unnecessary so it might as well have not been there. It just feels like Chibnall wanted to make the biggest mess possible, and he succeeded. Well, another year of Chibnall and then finally we get RTD back. RTD never did any bad stories, right?

Same way Ten regrew a hand, River dealt with some thugs, Eleven wiped some Dalek ships, and Eight smashed down a door newly-regenerated Time Lords get a power boost - probably to aid in keeping themselves alive - but as we saw with Eleven, they can still be killed during the Regeneration process

What's the issue, Timelords can survive 3000ft falls. What more do you need, they're a tough species. Remember when the master was hopping around with jumps like that just to pounce on people to eat?

Throughout the entire episode I had a deep seated sense of unease that random characters were going to be revealed to be secret incarnations of the Doctor. Remember the end of 12's run? That was a good end.

So the flux itself was basically pointless. It seemed more like a mild inconvenience than anything. The Doctor being split across three plains of reality felt very Matt Smith though. OldMemes fucked around with this message at 21:45 on Dec 6, 2021 |

If you were to ask me to describe in detail what happened in Flux, I couldn't even begin. This is true of most of Chibnall's run.

So I haven't watched this season and think in general JW as the doctor is great but the last two seasons have been meh. It looks like the newest season is on the AMC + app? So is it worth it to use an apple free trial for a week and watch it? I'll check without getting into general spoilers of the show. (not that it really matters).

There's some quite good stuff in this season, but some not so great stuff and the whole thing feels like 8-9 episodes worth of content jammed into 6, so a fair amount gets skipped over, forgotten or given very short service or simply left unaddressed. You can certainly catch up on the full season in a week easily though, so I'd say go ahead: after all, Doctor Who fans can't agree on anything so you'll only really know if you like this season by watching it yourself v  v
