I thought that this was a Moffat joke. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57_tXWsqO_g I didn't realise it was a callback to a real scene with the First. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snprb1JY_YA

Twelve is the ska phase, at least in his original costume. He dressed like he was either going to a ska show or opening one in the mod revival band he played bass guitar in.

They’re there for support to push him to keep trying despite his disability. It’s as much emotional support as anything.

The reason he can't makes sense, but the grandparents were just there to make a stupid "he's an adult but he's doing a thing that kids do" joke. I think he doesn't actually want to ride a bike, his grandmother's the one pushing for it. So he wouldn't do it by himself until the end of the episode, because he wouldn't be doing it at all if it was entirely up to him. And as to why he's doing it in the first place, I think it's more of a symbolic victory thing; his dyspraxia makes riding a bike, a really common thing, very hard but not impossible. It's an elephant in the room for what his disability keeps him from doing, and something that's probably gonna make things awkward when you say you can't do it. If he can beat that, that is a symbol that he is not his disability, he can overcome it, and participate in part of society that was previously unattainable. I have similar things with my own disorders, and it always sucked to know that, for example, my fine motor skills made clean handwriting and drawing effectively out of my grasp, even if I can go through most of my life without that being an outright obstacle.

dirksteadfast posted:I’m a simple man. As long as the Doctor’s costume falls within the spectrum between the 9th and 6th Doctor I’m happy with it. The show got huge amounts of flack back in the day for the Doctor's costumes becoming increasingly more contrived and gimmicky. Obviously there's that coat but even McCoy's question mark ensemble got a lot of hate. I think Eccleston's costume works really well, without ever being "a costume". It's just the kind of thing his regeneration would wear. It harks back to the days of Hartnell. The First Doctor didn't have a specific costume as such, his outfit was just what you'd expect his character to wear. NuWho has done a really great job on this so far. From Eccleston onwards each regeneration has had a very distinct style, without the costume ever taking front stage. But Whittaker's outfit is a bit too brash and gimmicky for my tastes. I might grow to like it over time, but I think I'm going to be biased against it for a while simply because of how hard she rocked Capaldi's old outfit for almost all of this episode.

Okay, so, the idea of each Doctor having their own theme music was only introduced with Eleven. I am the Doctor is so amazing. I love it so much. Twelve's theme, Good Man, was great too. Nine and Ten shared a theme. All choir ahs. But it was a theme for the both of them and the fact that they shared it always felt to me like they'd had there own if things went more as expected. There is no evidence, now that Murray Gold is gone, that Thirteen will have a theme at all. But if it's the music that played when they made their sonic, I am gonna' be so pumped. I would love to hear that every time they solve a problem at the climax.

But it was a theme for the both of them and the fact that they shared it always felt to me like they'd had there own if things went more as expected. That makes a lot of sense to me though, because to me Eccleston and Tennant weren't separable in the way other Doctors are. Eccleston's run, iconic though it was, was what, ten episodes long? Twelve? It was hardly any. Although it wasn't intended this way initially, he was already a sort of Prequel Doctor by partway through that first series, an intro to get new viewers up to speed, including on the fact that the Doctor can regenerate. Tennant's run doesn't begin with Christmas Invasion, it begins with Rose. Eccleston is the opening salvo of the Tennant era and Tennant was the big twist early in that story. The hook, almost. That's changed since, because of how long the series has run, but, yeah. I think all of RTD's Who is one item. So one theme tune for them both does make sense to me. Perhaps that feeling is aided by Eccleston's refusal to return.

^ Yeah without creeping any Star Wars thread analysis into this thread I agree. I managed to wrangle a friend into DW through showing the first 13th Doctor ep and she loves it! And she's been watching the 2005 series! We just finished Dalek and mate, that ep is a rollercoaster of feelings towards the dalek. Astonishment, fear, pity, anger, fear again, compassion, hope and finally sadness.
