In on the ground floor, can't wait for the new season. My wife lost interest during the Capaldi years ("Is Steven Moffat depressed or something?"), but she's all in for the new direction.

Has this episode of Graham Norton aired yet? Or is this just a tease for it?

edit: It has. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0blqj2g/the-graham-norton-show-series-24-episode-1

I just need to find a stream available in the US.

edit edit: Found one. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6ufa31

Unfortunately, almost none of that Graham Norton episode was about Jodie Whitaker. Basically, the clip posted earlier was the best part.

Also Americans don't forget, it will be simulcast in the afternoon on

Do we know if that will be true every week? Or just for the premiere?

The theme with a trailer for this season's guest stars:

Wait, Chris Noth? They get an actual American to (I'm assuming) play an American and not just get some to use a terrible American accent? I'm shocked.

I wonder if it will take place in D.C., New York, or the dessert, where all American episodes take place.

edit: Oh, and the episode was great. Feels like a whole new show. Can't wait for more.

I want the Doctor to try and go to Disney World, but gets stuck trying to track down meth addicts in a run down Orlando suburb.

As an Orlando resident...accurate. Also, I want this as well.

Loved the episode, loved Jodie, loved the new opening, loved the new Tardis, loved everything. So excited for this season.

New Tardis interior reminds me of 9 and 10's, if darker. More organic, both built and grown.

It's weird that it happened twice during Twelve's short tenure though. Moffat really did need a break

As hbomberguy pointed out in a video at the beginning of the year (which I just discovered), reusing ideas was kind of Moffat's thing. Like how the archive glass lady thing from his Christmas special (which stores the memories of people before they die) is basically the same thing as iCloud Heaven from the end of Capaldi's first season. Which itself is extremely similar to the computer system in Silence in the Library "saving" people into a computer system.

Is that "Timeless Child" bit referring to something I'm missing? Or are we not supposed to know yet?

gently caress I love that scene every time I watch it.

That scene is one of my favorite things I've ever seen on television. Every once in a while I look it up again just to smile about it again. (I also do this sometimes with 10 saving River in the library. "I'm VERY GOOD!")

I got into Doctor Who because the buildup to the 50th anniversary was this crazy media event thing that had people I knew super excited, and I loved the idea of a show that would just go for it like that. A super deep lore that it could dip into and have fun with. So I watched Matt Smith's first season, and then the 50th (because it aired right when I finished that season) and I was hooked. In hindsight, I spoiled myself, because I maintain that's the best stuff the show has ever had to offer. But I don't even care. It was pure euphoria.

I usually read spoilers and I'm pretty sure McGann was a shock to me.

I remember McGann being a shock to everyone. A movie/TV news site I go on posted the video and he was losing his mind about it, while being very careful to not say WHY he was losing his mind over it. They kept that one under wraps.

"It was then that I wondered, 'What if Charlotte was right, and Big was behind the giant spiders?' Could I ever go back to him knowing that?"

Yeah, when thinking of who I would expect to guest star on Doctor Who, Chris Noth probably wouldn't even be on the list. It's a weird one, for sure.

Chiming in late, but god drat did I love that episode. That was really something. If there were any justice in this world, Bradley Walsh would win an Emmy for his scene where he talked about trying to be a good man. But that's not really the world we live in, so...

I also know next to nothing about the Partition, being an uneducated American, so this episode, and reading up on it after watching this, has been pretty gut wrenching. Which is exactly what this episode should do to me.

drat, this was a good episode.

So in the preview for next week, I saw Lee Mack for a moment there! Which is awesome.

I thought Chib had already said there would be no returning villains this season.

It wasnt all the bubblewrap, just the packages which were being held back. If it was in ones or twos word would get out quickly and no one would accept their kerblam delivery, but if all the contaminated packages were sent out at the same time, via teleportation, then loads of people would be killed instead of just a few.

What was with the final shot being all, "Oooooh, scary bubble wrap can blow up!" when it was just the original package?

I think that was just a "You might just be scared of this average thing now, kids, because of Doctor Who!" moment a la the ending to Blink.

If so, it didn't really work for me at all.

okay so the system can send one (1) robot man in to try and choke out Charlie while the rest of the gang is present to defend him, why couldn't it do that when Charlie was by himself, maybe even like... sending way more robots to do it. System clearly has no issue murdering somebody, just kill Charlie the second he's busy unclogging a shitter somewhere

That's...hey, yeah, why didn't the system just kill Charlie?

I think it's tied for me between this and The Demons. I like them for different reasons, and there's basically no overlap in what appeals to me about them.

I know we shouldn't empty quote, so I'll just say :same:
