Spikeguy posted:I was listening to the soundtrack from Day of the Doctor and heard the same song from when 12 breaks the wall. Didn't know they used it so early - it feels so 12 that knowing it actually came earlier feels wrong. It's like how the "Doomsday" music is very noticeable in "Rose" on rewatches. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u7WpYO93o8&t=185s Or how the Curator scene uses the music from "Wedding of River Song": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOTgKA1CV74 Also, totally unrelated, the Hologram scene in "The Parting of the Ways" is much better scored with the intended music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PToyTMJJTo "Do that for me, Rose. Have a fantastic life."

Aren't episodes officially going to 50 minutes now? That's only 40 minutes shy of 12x45. I remember when it was a big thing that Last of the Time Lords got extended to 52. Since then, most episodes have been poking at around 45–47.

The only thing that was unrealistic was the train scene. The lights going off and a bundle of wires attacking you is just a normal day on Northern Rail.

Let's see what the general reaction on Gallifrey Base is…Sparacus posted:Apart from the casting I actually noticed less political correctness pushing in this episode than some of the series 10 stories. The Doctor even allowed her companions to break health and safety rules by climbing up a crane. oh.

I like the implication in Death of the Doctor that before regenerating, the Doctor piloted his TARDIS over the Earth to watch Adric smash into the planet.

By the way, very good news for Jodie: https://twitter.com/drwhospace/status/1051860992173465601?s=21 The last episode to do as well was “Time of the Doctor”. The last non-special to do as well was City of Death. Which was helped by ITV being on strike. She even bagged the number one spot for the week, being the fifth episode to do so after “Journey’s End”, both parts of The End of Time, and “Day of the Doctor”. It’s also the highest rated New Doctor story ever.

In case you were wondering, the previous record holder was “Rose”, with 10.81m and just below that, Robot with 10.8m. A final rating in the high eights for The Ghost Monument is both probable and would be a very good result.

To be fair, Amy, Rory, and Clara were supposed to also do that, but the BBC kept seeing pound signs in Gillan, Darvill, and Coleman so they had to find flimsy excuses to bring them back after series 6 and 8 respectively.

sparacus posted:Obviously the whole episode was about an anti-racism message. Nothing wrong with that but surely the message would have worked better if it were presented in a more subtle way. Did every single white American have to be utterly racist? Were there not white anti-racists in the US? I seem to recall some of the Mississippi Burnings victims being white.

Seeing as the episode mentioned Emmett Till, in June, they erected the third memorial at the place where his body was found, after the previous two were irreparably damaged. By July, the memorial had already been shot at.

I already knew that Walsh had acting chops from L&O: UK, but I really got shades of Tate's "just save someone" from the scene on the bus.

Final ratings for "The Ghost Monument" put it on a cool 9 million on the dot. For comparison, the regular episodes to have done better than that since the revival are:

Really loving good. Also, a rather apposite theme on the centenary of the Armistice. Jerusalem posted:I am extremely glad the aliens weren’t the bad guys causing the problems, it was all lovely humans being lovely Two episodes by BME writers, in which the Bad Guy is racism, and to be honest I would definitely like more with that message.

Bicyclops posted:I've softened a lot on that two-parter. It's written by the same woman who wrote Daleks in Manhattan and it has some similar "trying to do too much" going on, but at least it isn't quite so bizarrely badly designed and terrible at understanding its setting. It is really fun to watch the Doctor goad the little tech bro genius, even if all the clone batch stuff is nonsense. But Martha was in that episode?

sinepost posted:I mean, realistically Chris Chibnall could start planning and writing for the 2020 season tomorrow and I'd expect the episodes written by him would be exactly as mediocre as if he'd knocked them together the night before filming. To be fair, "Midnight" was literally knocked up together the night before filming while RTD was high on five different types of cough medicine.
