Rochallor posted:AND ANOTHER THING about that loving episode: what kind of an rear end-backwards decision is it to introduce the McGuffin as a small child, then always show it as a CGI energy monster, instead of the other way around? You show a little girl in chains, cut in a couple frames of a digital squid wriggling around so you know it's a space fucker and it's too stressed to keep its image up or whatever, and then it's just a girl. It's cheaper and the audience cares about it more! As I was watching, I honestly thought for a bit that the girl on the train was actually a little girl, and the energy thing was projecting itself as the girl. Just a separate issue, and the doctor saw it like that because the girl was on her mind, and we'd be getting back to that plot eventually.

Jerusalem posted:Bolded part mine. Yeah, it ties itself up in knots so much to make any kind of even superficial sense and even setting aside the distaste for "the Doctor is secretly a key element in creating a core aspect of the Time Lords as know them and also a super special mysterious alien from another universe because being a mysterious alien from this universe apparently isn't enough anymore?" my takeaway of the whole thing is,"What was even the point of any of this?" It apparently didn't change anything, didn't add anything, didn't go anywhere or have any reason for existing beyond Chibnall apparently wanting to give whatever weird idea he had about the Doctor's origins the "official" stamp. This in particular is really funny to me, because it's this big revelation that answers a question the viewers aren't asking "Where did the time lords get this power from?" and leaves them with a new question they may actually then be asking "So then, where did the Doctor get this power from?" which the episode is not curious about at all. The Doctor is just from somewhere else. The End.
