Stabbatical posted:Eleven had a lot of that as well, to be honest. It's a bit weird, thinking about it again, that Twelve was meant to be this big, dark arc for The Doctor but I don't really remember him doing anything as sketchy as drowning a whole race of children, killing already retreating foes, or blowing up spaceships of semi-alive cyborg-foes just to leverage information. He was just a bit curt about people dying for a while. Yeah, I think that really undermined the entire thing they were going for. Like, after all that nonsense and spending hundreds of years defending a planet in Time of the Doctor, NOW you're the dark conflicted one? that's stupid

I now want to see cuts every so often to Yaz's family "Meanwhile back at home..." where Yaz's mother is talking to the spider like it's her daughter's actual girlfriend, inviting it to family dinners, etc. Yaz's Mum: "I just stopped by to drop off this cassarole, I know you must be so lonely since Yaz went on assignment." Spider: "CHITTTER CHITTER CHITTER"

I gotta say watching the Rosa Parks episode, it could be good if the writers could make convincing dialog. It just feels like they face the camera and start expounding on why racism is bad.

Jerusalem posted:Apparently there are longstanding (and conflicting/denied) accounts of there being a lot of tunnels under Sheffield, so this may have just been playing off of that. Honestly, I've half expected them doing something with the now filled-in "hole in the road" in sheffield. I'm old enough to remember this being under a major roundabout in the city, and Chibnall is missing a trick if it isn't the secret entrance to UNIT HQ or Torchwood: Sheffield or something.

He was just a bit curt about people dying for a while. I mean, the Doctor's been written so many ways by so many people over the years, it's inevitable. Like how remarking on the alienness of domestic life was a big thing for Eleven, then Twelve happily works as a professor for several decades.

Are the bags of recyclables in Yas' family's apartment meant to be part of the "dodgy trash company" plot, or something to explore in the future? (Two episodes about Sheffield being secretly full of trash seems a little harsh.)

It is entirely possible that 13's characterization is someone who is socially awkward or perhaps doesn't have all the answers. It could be a different take over past versions of an omnipotent Doctor

Two lecture theatres about 100 yards apart as the crow flies, but it takes like 10 minutes to get from one to the other cos you need to keep zig-zagging around all the stupid crossings.

They have one of those news kiosks in Harvard Square. Walk by it every day. They're forever saying they're going to tear the thing up, but so far, it's stuck its ground.

So far this season I like the execution, especially the improved cinematography and lighting but I’m missing high concept sci-fi fuckery like the ship where time passes at different speeds on different floors, planet sized library or the weird space hotel, next week looks like it has potential.

Avalerion posted:All the doctors had some degree of “violence bad” as part of their message, but Thirteen may end up taking it so far it no longer ends up coming of as positive. Should we also have a beef with exterminators taking out cockroaches, or invent ethical bug zappers? Depends. If your exterminator seems to enjoy killing things, that might be a bad sign. There's brands of pest control that focus on removing pests and keeping them from returning over killing them. There is a big difference between swatting a fly and slowly pulling off its wings. So far, Thirteen seems less about "violence bad" and more about only returning violence when it is offered. The spiders were hungry, confused, frightened. They did kill people, but they weren't monsters, and were deserving of pity and compassion. It's funny that I haven't read more people being concerned, not about the Doctor's pacifism here, but about the extent to which she doesn't seem as bothered by the dead people they come across. "We don't see her 'humanely' kill those trapped spiders" and not "we don't see funerals for the dead people." Says something about underlying narrative assumptions in Who. Z. Autobahn posted:Isn't a single instant shot to the head a lot more of a humane way to go than slowly suffocating in your own body that's too large for you? Do giant mutant spiders have heads? If so, is a single bullet to that head going to instantly kill one? Even if so, does anybody seriously believe that CEO Bigly had the foggiest idea (or, for that matter, accurate aim)? For all we know, his shot led the spider to a slow and agonizing death.

Also, didnt they say it was suffocating because it was too large and was exerting itself? If they could have calmed it down it might have survived long enough for the doctor to come up with a solution that didnt involve shooting it.

That set looks like pretty. It's actually closer to what I'd like the TARDIS to look like than it currently does. The production values will hopefully really get a chance to show in the more wacky, high concept sci-fi stuff. This is also the last Chibnall-penned episode until the last one, I think, so we'll see what some of the other writers do with Thirteen.

That said, didn't he take a writer's room approach so while every episode might have an individual writer's name on it, there will be some uniformity to the episodes as everybody was pitching in, working on ideas, adding dialogue/coming up with alternate views on stuff?
