doctor who

[Samcro]

is there a thread?

Since they put her into a female body, the Doctor appears to have regressed. What happened to her imagination and creativity?
I've no idea what's going on, by the way. Any suggestions welcome (thank you pp upthread)

I thought the story last night was good, and I like Prof Jericho and Bel and Life Partner, but dear god I can't stand Jodie Whittaker's acting any more.

I know the script isn't excellent, but everyone else seems to manage, even John Bishop (who's no thespian, let's face it).

The Guardian reviewer seems to have loved it though. Well, more than loved it. More sort of lost in a whovian ecstasy. Takes all sorts I guess

The highlight for us last night was discovering that one of our regular dog-walking spots is a portal for Weeping Angels!!

i like yesterdays. last week was too confusing.
Jodie is way too wooden.

I quite liked this one
The meeting of young Peggy and old Peggy.

Not a Jodie fan though.

Did you miss all the Division episodes, ParishSpinster? If so there’s an explanation here:

I dislike Chibnall’s writing, and the whole thing seemed very dated in its direction and approach. But since he insisted on retconning the Doctor’s backstory it seems at least logical to go full circle with it. Looks like we’re building up to quite an ambitious finale. (And I do love a story arc!)

Another Division explanation, here:

Thank you @LiterallyKnowsBest the links were very helpful.

HOW did I forget about Brendan? And the whole reason the Judoon were after Doctor Ruth? Gah! Now feel a bit more I formed

The writing is awful. Flat. Over-explanatory. Poorly characterised and plotted. Jodie didn’t stand a chance.

The writing is awful

I said during the first episode of the series that I had no idea how the cast (and crew) kept straight faces at the drivel they were expected to say. I have not changed my mind!!

DS and DH are die hard fans and still watching.

Is the tamagotchi thing her unborn baby?

And who was the older woman in the third episode? There's too much going on for me I think!

I loved Eustacius Jericho — can we have him as a companion instead?

Is the tamagotchi thing her unborn baby?

Oh! Of course …

Thank you!

Over-explanatory.

It is, isn't it? I thought that last night when The Doctor gave some long winded explanation of something. I honestly don't recall any of the previous doctors needing to do that. Or maybe they did but hid it better...?

If everything needs constantly explaining it says to me the writing is very poor. I have no faith in her as the Doctor either, she seems permanently baffled and chaotic. It’s a shame as was all for a female Doctor.

I thought the same when she was in the time storm (?) last week. I'm glad she did a bit of exposition though, because I didn't really know what was going on in that episode.

I’m just confused
Too much jumping between stories

Second half better
Liked the reference tu Williamson tunnels

Dot.

But Dot though. 🥰

I could have done with him as the next doctor.

Neither DD nor I have the faintest idea what's going on 😂

There are too many parts going on at once. We are hoping it all knits together.

Haha are you me? I can't make head nor tail of it, and as soon as something begins to make sense it all gets muddled up again or there's another twist. 😅

I feel like I spend most of the episode going What does that mean? Who are you? Why is that important? Where are they going with this? When will this make sense?

It doesn't make sense to me either.

Which is OK when there's enough action to just enjoy the spectacle.

But that last episode was just dire - both incomprehensible and dull.

Pity

Exactly !!

Another one hoping it makes sense next week.

I think it might need a gin.

Ahh I knew I recognised him but couldn’t place him as Dot.
