docbeard posted:If we get more of It Takes You Away and Demons of the Punjab (and more for Yaz to do) I will be content. I've decided that I'm happy if a season takes lots of risks and we end up with two good ones (like those) and a few more where I can say "well they tried" (like Rosa or Kerblam!). I'd sit through ten Battle of Too Many Names just to get to see one Heaven Sent. I could go for something really weird this time, though. My attitude to pretty much all art now is "if it can't be good, it can at least be weird." poo poo - reviewing the list of episodes I almost entirely forgot about The Witchfinders, which was a solid B+. And I just realized that my bottom 50% of that season are the 5 episodes that Chibnall did by himself.

I'm super pleased that the Master's first action was to swap the pilot with a gigantic bomb.

I predict that this will be post Gomez and involve some Master logic like "well yes, you were 100% right and you totally got through to me but while I was dying over the next six months I realized that I'd never be as good at being good as you are, and that my antagonism of you made you better at being good, so I'm taking the long view of things and that means back to throwing bombs because it's easier and more effective."

  That was great. Also did anyone notice that The Master had a First Doc costume thing going on in the one shot we had of his full body hologram? Also I realized watching this one that the Doctor's tuxedo has a lot of 11 in it, with the bowtie and long coat.

Doctor who is at its best when the episodes are ambitious at the expense of any wider continuity and at its worst when it tries really hard to make poo poo internally consistent at the expense of the immediate storytelling. The former is the tone that I got from Spyfall, so I'm totally on board for series 12 (season 38). Also did you notice that the Master's facial hair grew in over the two episodes? Dollars to donuts that he's sporting the full Roger next time we see him.

I disagree with the assertion that Sacha is just retreading Simm. There's overlap but I see some overlap with Delgado and Ainley too.

Mokinokaro posted:Yeah that part made zero sense. We either needed to see him wounded, turning into one of them or the dregs using his tracker and faking his voice as a hunting method (they were smart enough to lay traps after all ) That bit reminded me of the Alzabo from The Book of the New Sun but it wasn't that cool.

Decent enough to watch while eating nachos. Goofy adventure with some historical figures in it. I thought about it and what tipped last week's episode for me is I'm sick of looking at grey wasteland post apocalyptic quarry settings.

The thing with Ruth being a "violent alt doctor" is that the whole weapon backfire trap thing was used in another episode, and though I can't remember which episode, I'm 99% sure that Tenant or Smith used the exact same line "I begged him not to do it" afterwards. Or I'm crazy. But I'm sure I've seen it before.

Things I liked: the nod to some of the old-series mythology like the Guardians; 14th century Aleppo as a setting. I liked the bad guy too, generally. Things I didn't feel really strongly about: most of the rest Things I disliked: how it came together.

Man I really like (spoiler for people who aren't caught up) this version of The Master. He really hits the right notes for me. There's some mix of chaos and coping with failure that really works

Yeah Sacha was great. BTW I also felt like Yaz was getting a bit more characterization that episode, but it got overshadowed by the nonsense.

Organza Quiz posted:Hey so what was actually up with those Ireland bits? Was that one of the Doctor's missions or some sort of fake memory and in that case why? Why were the two dudes still the same age? Was it just some absolute fanwank about humans thinking Gallifrey is somewhere in Ireland? It was an allegorical remnant memory of her life in Section 31 and before the mind wipe that reset her as 1. Kid gets found, gets raised and adopted, falls off a cliff but then survives etc etc.

Davros1 posted:It's just grueling to film. It's usually 10 months of shooting. There was a reason RTD (from series 2) and Moffat (to an extent) had a "Doctor-lite" episode each series, just to give the main cast a break. What makes it so loving brutal?

That makes sense. Thanks! It also sounds to me like something that writing could fix. Id happily give up a location story for a soundstage story and a doctor light story.
