Bibliogryphon 9,582 Posted January 29, 2020 The whole Jack bit was a bit pointless. It was just to keep the companions occupied and put in some teasers for the rest of the series. Not a massive fan of Jack. It will be interesting to see if all the discussion and interest actually improves the overnight viewing figures next week or raises the catch up figures for this week. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladyfiona 2,585 Posted February 19, 2020 Yeah it was amazing and we finally saw what I wanted to see in Jodie's Doctor - a speech that was worthy of defining her era. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,046 Posted February 22, 2020 Chibbers would like to bring back old companions like Ace and Amy Pond. Respect for the show's history, or an apology for the forthcoming destruction of accepted canon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've got a feeling the whole show is about to get some kind of off the deep end reboot in these final two episodes which makes those returns look less appealing. In other news I'd forgotten just how good Series 1 was.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyfiona 2,585 Posted February 22, 2020 Amy had a good exit and unless you want to fuck with time and mess with what Moffat did with The Angels then leave her alone. Maybe bring her father or grandson in like what was seen in the deleted scene. Unless it was for a special/flashback I don't think Karen Gillan would come back soon, she's got a career in Hollywood.

Bibliogryphon 9,582 Posted February 23, 2020 That was a bit disappointing. Like the first episode of Spyfall all it was was a series of dramatic scenes strung together to provide for the dramatic reveal at the end. The lack of overall narrative is a real weakness of Chibnell's writing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,046 Posted February 24, 2020 Right, watched it now. Nobody should spend around an hour watching the middle and the beginning of a story. Excite us with some brilliant amazement from a character that gives us a moment of deduction, right or wrong. Literally nothing in that gave us anything, ee bah gum fam. I was hoping for Mondasian Cybermen at least, maybe I missed that. Left the viewer out of any engagement or participation. It's all being written for a bunch of Who bananas, one handed wankfest. I've watched this show forever and come to everything new everytime, willing it to surprise, excite, fear, make me laugh and cry. Now I'm expected to hold my feelings and astonishment for fucking weeks without a bone being thrown to my speculation, then hope I can backwards work it, assuming I can understand what ilkley moor bar tat shite comes forth. I watched Midnight again today, and couldn't finish it, everything was magical and frightening. Today I'm between chapters in a poor penny dreadful. Gawd help the kids today who have no stories, only massive arcs or 5 minute resolutions in a 45 minute soap opera. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
