Are you a person? Do you like to win completely meaningless prizes? Can you type the letters A-D and F over and over again? Then you, too, are eligible to participate in a contest statistically little different than a random lottery! As part of the review thread, we readers guess what grade each episode will receive and then complain bitterly about Toxx's taste when we inevitably get it wrong. Here are the rules, in no particular order:

The Witch's Familiar Let's be real. It was always going to be a trick. Davros was always going to be tricking the Doctor and the Doctor was always going to be tricking him. No other outcome was possible, given the structure of the show and the people running it. But imagine. Imagine if it weren't. Imagine if it really were just about an evil old man calling up his greatest enemy to have a chat with him before he died. I wanted that episode. Anyway, this one was still pretty okay.

Before the Flood The Bootstrap Paradox, or as I am more generally familiar with it, the Ontological Paradox, is one of my favorite little things about time travel stories. It compresses the entire thing into a neat little self-referencing lump. It's also one of the main reasons that time travel as depicted in shows like Doctor Who can't exist in real life. (The entire point of any paradox is to point out that something about the setup is logically inconsistent and therefore must be false.) Much as I like Capaldi, I did not need him to smugly point this out to me even as an excuse to have him play the guitar more. As Toxx has pointed out, Doctor Who generates ontological paradoxes only slightly less frequently than rubber-mask aliens, but even apart from that, on a very basic level: if you want to point out that something in your story is weird, HAVE THE loving STORY POINT THAT OUT. DO NOT HAVE A CHARACTER LITERALLY TALK TO THE AUDIENCE AND SAY "HEY, ISN'T THAT WEIRD". WHY THE gently caress DID ANYBODY THINK THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA? Anyway it was pretty good apart from that.

I think the idea is that it's so absurd it becomes great just on that basis. Imagine instead that the Doctor realized he had a bunch of chewing gum in his pocket due to their previous stop being the Chewing Gum Planet. So he pulls out like a hundred pounds of chewing gum (his pocket is bigger on the inside than the outside) and sets all the vikings to furiously chewing on it. Then, when the bad guys arrive, they fall into a giant pit-trap filled with chewed gum and are unable to escape. It would be utterly stupid and ridiculous, but that very quality would make it amazing. For some people, the eels approach this.

Mmm, yes, just about The Snowmen.Toxxupation posted:The funny thing about grief is that it's personal to the point of selfishness. It's not like grieving our dead changes anything. I mean, they're dead. It's not like feeling horrible over someone else being dead brings them back, it's not like they end up judging you for it. No,what grief does is it allows the ones who are grieving to place value on the departed's life by, paradoxically, realizing how important the dead person was to them. We view others through the prism of ourselves, and the strange irony of grief is that it allows one to be selfless by being selfish. This person was there for us, and now they're not, and what we grieve is not necessarily their death, but their absence. People grieve when they break up, for instance. It's the same emotion, just made more or less important based on scope. The magnitude of loss. Not a word about Heaven Sent. Toxxupation posted:In contrast, "Heaven Sent" is an episode that, from beginning to end, is about The Doctor dealing with and processing his grief. The restriction of the scope to a one-man show doesn't just create a fantastic acting showcase for Peter Capaldi. It also means that "Heaven" can confront The Doctor with his feelings for Clara, repeatedly and without compromise. The world isn't at stake, there's no weird comic relief characters. There's no random atonal bits like, say, an idiotic scene of a woman walking on a staircase leading up to a cloud as overly twee music plays. No. "Heaven Sent" wants Twelve to really think about Clara, and what she meant to him, and so it imprisons him in a glorified puzzle box with zero distractions. Truly the worst-written review ever. Toxxupation posted:"Heaven Sent" also takes its time. The grieving process is a lengthy one, which presents a neat conundrum when dealing with a time traveler like Twelve. Time as a length, as a fixture to imply significance to a narrative, is almost impossible to do with the Doctor. Grieving for years is an unimaginably short period for him. Grieving "to the end of your life" has no practical meaning to a man who can regenerate endlessly. For the process to have weight, it needs to be for an incomprehensibly long time. As the wall that most obviously represents the layers of sorrow and anger he feels, Twelve needs to punch his way through it, taking billion of years and millions of lives to do so. It's the only way that gives Clara's death any importance. Man, I'm just so disappointed. Toxx, we're cutting your pay in half from now on.

Now, it's on the low end. It may not mean anything, but it's a curious little bit of trivia.

What I often suggest to people is to treat it like watching a play rather than a television show. You have to make some allowances based on what was possible given the conditions the thing was made under if you want to have any chance of enjoying it.
