Doctor Who fans, what say you about the new one?
-
@Steffie I have edited my original post to spare you the temptation for the meantime.
-
@LonM I know, i saw it change before my eyes. Strange Magic [hey, if only ELO had thought of a lyric like that!]. Many thanks... but it's unfair on all others not afflicted with antipodeanitis, so maybe you should change it back, & i shall force myself to be good.
-
I am royally upset (to put it nicely). My PVR did NOT record the episode!!!
why why Why Why WHY!?!? -
@JoelYoung Do you have/use a VPN? If so, you can watch it on-demand at BBC, or [Oz] ABC iView.

I've tried various ways in the past to watch it on BBC, but the rascals have 24th century technology to detect my location. They're the only ones I've never been able to fool.
I'll check out the [Oz] ABC iView option, but Canada usually gets the raw deal when it comes to alternate viewing options. Everybody picks on Canada, and we're such nice people; never bother anybody.

...then [with respect] prior VPNs you've tried are not up to snuff. With a good one, a proper serious good one, you can do it. I can tell you from direct personal experience that with [for instance] VyprVPN & PrivateVPN, offshore access to BBC works well. IF you can't get to BBC with your present arrangement, there's a pretty high chance you'll also not reach ABC iView, given they also sniff fairly hard.
Would you settle for @LonM & me vividly describing all the events of the episode to you?
-
@Steffie Thanks for the heads ups. I'll give them a shot.
As for the detailed recap offer... don't call me, I'll call you.
But I'll send you a cardigan for Xmas if you like. -
@LonM I've just watched the Ep now, if you'd like to "unredact".
I'd not realised this was the last Ep for the season; somehow now the universe feels a smaller emptier place.
They could have used a certain Art Garfunkel song as musical theme for parts of tonight's Ep... not that many bunnies were extant tonight
-
@Steffie Will you get the Christmas Special "down under"?
Might be a risk as OZ will be too warm for frozen things -

Christmas Special
New Year's Day Special, this time, i believe.

New Years Doctor
I wasn't getting my hopes up for a Dalek episode, but I actually enjoyed this. Having a Dalek take over a human body directly by (I'm guessing) the brain stem is a pretty horrifying idea. Being conscious, and not in control of your movements. That character's going to be scarred for life with PTSD for sure.
Some nice funny-if-cheesy gags in here, like the UNIT funding cuts and having a conversation.
Good stuff. -
Funny-if-cheesy : A squid shaped vacuum hole?
Really -
Yeah well i had two reactions, both negative.
- I thought i'd read Chibnall assure the Whoniverse after taking the reins that under his reign [teehee, fun with homophones] it was to be all eyes forward, no rehashed monsters from the past. Ergo, last night i felt confused, betrayed & disappointed.
- I am now seriously worried that future babies she delivers might be severely compromised if her midwifery skills have been degraded by her recent severe psychological trauma. Think of the children!
-
@Steffie To be fair, it could be argued that the New Year's Special is a "one-off" and NOT really a part of the new Series.
I just want to know what portable power source the baddie was using given what the weight of the casing must have been (movement/recovered weapon/flying)?
-
@TbGbe Along slightly similar lines i was pondering the amazing metallurgical, blacksmithing, electronic engineering, avionics, & armaments skills possessed by Her in rustling up those inbuilt tactical thermonuclear missiles we saw unveiled.
Furthermore, upon further reflection i've decided that indeed her midwifery capabilities are now in fact likely enhanced not degraded by her recent experiences. For instance, those tentacles are bound to come in handy to reach in & turn those otherwise breech-birthed babies. Noice.

I'd hazard a guess that one of the things stolen from the
offense"defense" contractor was probably a battery of some kind. It would have been nice to show it though, even if just for a fraction of a second. See -
There's a podcast episode out with David Tennant and Jodie Whittaker chatting about acting and stuff not necessarily related to DW. Here's a link if you're interested: https://play.acast.com/s/davidtennant/jodiewhittaker

Who is Doctor Who? Is Doctor Who the Doctor, Doctor? Or is it Doctor Doctor?
