Is it going up on Disney+ the same time as UK broadcast or like an hour later?

Maybe I was just kind of blind to it during the Jodie era, but the RTD marketing machine is running at full blast.

I thought it was pretty good. Worried at the beginning at some mixing issues where you could barely hear the dialogue over all the bombast. Kind of interesting there's no real drama around the regeneration (so far), it's like Jodie never happened. Maybe since it's an old/new Doctor again, there's no awkward getting-to-know-yourself phase or lack of ability.

Jerusalem posted:There were a number of references to him having been Jodie, the one thing I didn't quite get was that Donna and Rose both knew that this was a different Doctor to 10 and that he had been a woman before, and I wasn't sure where they got that knowledge. But also their brains were beyond human comprehension at that point so I guess that's as good a reason as any!

Also since I've been seeing it everywhere since, the new opening titles are great.

If we get just like 30 seconds of Eccelston on screen again in the RTD2 era, it will all have been worth it.

Hey that was a good episode Doctor Who is good again. Also kind of funny that this is all happening in like a 12-24 hour time period, any % regeneration speedrun.

Three companions who all met horrible, but bittersweet ends. What about the 13th Doctor? Uhh I dunno, the Flux? Let's go with that.

The only way for the biregenerarion to work for me is that the 15th Doctor is plucked somewhere in time from his future after the 14th Doctor did all the work and eventually regenerates into the 15th Doctor proper. The idea he's the Doctor, but in a better mind frame, without that lived experience doesn't play well without some kind of handwave of the in-between time. Otherwise he is a different character missing a part of himself (the trauma).

Not enough love for The Vlinx which made the Doctor do like a headfake and then the mystery of such a character is never followed up again.

That's sort of the point, I think. Clara had been acting as a Doctor-lite and her hubris got her into a bad situation. She doesn't get to live/escape because she's not the genuine article and it serves as a tragic story that the recklessness of the Doctor shouldn't be emulated.

Bicyclops posted:It's particularly weird to think that Clara should be punished for hubris during that era because of how much it's emphasized that the Doctor is just like... a guy who stole a time machine. What makes him different and "better" than other Time Lords (well, before the Timeless Child stuff, I guess) is that he went out into the Universe and got enough perspective to always try to make sure that empathy and curiosity win out over tyranny and suppression. "Anyone can be the Doctor" is a better message than "leave the big stuff to the space wizards or you'll die" IMO. The 12th Doctor was really kind of weird coming off the whole thing with the 11th getting more regenerations and a renewed lease on life by using it to basically investigate the fundamental question of, "Am I / Is the Doctor a good person?" to the point where he just becomes sick of everything by the end that he's on the verge of refusing to regenerate. Moffat gets dinged often for giving his companions tragic endings, but I think it at least served the story they were trying to tell with 12 and his companions at least. Why does the Doctor always get to be the one to walk away? Well, they're the titular plot armor character and the revival era at least has been about carrying that trauma and weight. That is the conceit and drama behind the show. The message can still be anyone can be the Doctor, but we/the companions are still just human. There's a risk to doing these things, I don't think it has anything to do with gender politics. RTD seemed focused on fixing some of these problems by saving Donna, giving her a Doctor-level type escape from her fate, and giving the Doctor a new new lease on life without all of this baggage.

Jerusalem posted:Mostly that's down to me already being sick of "the companion falls in love with the Doctor" as a storyline crutch back in 2006 with 10/Rose. If I have any concerns or misgivings about the 15th Doctor, I hope they do not do a romance plot with Ruby.
