Doctor Who review of Season 1 episode 8 the season finale. The BBC and Disney partnered to build up to this episode to save Disney+, and failed. With lots of plot threads left specially for this episode, you at least expected AN ANSWER. No, nothing, not a single care in order to make the story satisfying for the audience. This episode reaked to me of you've already sat through the messaging I wanted to send you, and so now why should I care at the end. This episode gets worse at it goes along just because you realise where the story is going. All the plotlines, every episode, none of it meant anything. It was just bad writing. I wasn't even a fan of the previous episodes, but somehow still managed to be disappointed by the story. This episode, is indefensible. But what did you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below, and as always, thanks for watching :)
And he's so bad at his job that he has now resurrected every foe and threat to existence that he has ever faced and killed back to life. Fans of this series more than I know how bad this is and that they can't continue after this, but boy it would be a laughing riot if they let that rock.
Honestly, If they had explained it that way it would have made the episode so much better. Sutekh was waiting for an incarnation of the Doctor that was so incompetent that he was sure to be able to beat him. What Sutekh didn't expect is that the Doctor is so important to the universe that his incompetence spread to everyone else in the universe that included Sutekh himself.... DUN DUN DUN....
I think that is 100% the case. Every preceding doctor (except the last two), had something definable (or indefinable) about their character where their opponent would either make a misstep, change their operations based on the Doctor's involvement, or flat out fail, or get kicked off the planet. I haven't seen that happen with this guy. In fact, if he was to apply for a job, the skill level would be above his ability, and only morons would hire him. But, you know, he does check all the boxes, and that's all I have to say about this decade.
They killed death before, I think in Torchwood, and the result was a living nightmare where everyone remained alive no matter how badly they were injured. Heck, they had a guy blow himself up and still be alive after.
There was a stupid throw away line about the things inside the Memory Tardis not being "real" enough to work for what he needed it for. BUT it doesn't make sense that he had to find some random woman to give him a damn spoon cause from what we saw objects didn't just fall apart cities still seemed to exist without people inside them... Just fly to some random empty building and empty a freaking silverware drawer.
I can't believe that RTD, the person who brought back Dr Who, the person that created the Sarah Jane Adventures because he loved Liz Sladen so much, would crap all over her memory with such a dismissive line about her and Tom Baker in what is generally rated as one of the best stories in Tom Baker's tenure. What a scumbag.
Agreed its amazing how a writer can come back and destroy his legacy! RTG acts like it's the 80's or something! No one cares if your gay or straight , if you're black or white just tell a good story!!!!
@@Irishrebel092 RTD did. The throwaway cultural appropriater line. I find it hysterical that for someone who wants a utopia he gets angry over people wearing clothes from another culture. By that logic I shouldn't speak English because that's offensive since it's not my first language which will then leave me out of a significant loop.
In Ecclestones last two episodes when the Doctor, Rose and Jack where trapped in reality game shows ie Big Brother. They met a woman, and asked, "don't the controllers know what is happening in the shows". The woman answers "the masters don't watch the shows" This is BBC and Disney.
@@DeadlyPlatypus I've found, when they start screaming and calling you a conspiracy theorists, racist, bigot, ect...you're over the target. If they do one thing great...it's projection
@@DeadlyPlatypus Colonized implies that Africa is colonizing us. You only need to look at the continent to see they're straining at tying their own shoelaces, let alone come up with such a well thought out strategy. It is our own elites and the virtue signal brigades who are letting them in and do what they want. So re plac eme nt, yes, coloni zing, not really.
@@PAGrunt It's their M.O. Alinsky told them to always accuse their enemies of what THEY, themselves, are doing. Essentially, Leftism is just self-aware, systematized hypocrisy.
Sutek traveled in/on the Tardis since the 70s and what in all that time didn't care to come out until now, but, the one question he must know is "Who is Ruby's mum?". The God of Death is now the God of Gossip.
He isnt't even the 'God of Death' Set (/sɛt/; Egyptological: Sutekh - swtẖ ~ stẖ[a] or: Seth /sɛθ/) is a god of deserts, storms, disorder, violence, and foreigners in ancient Egyptian religion. Explains whats is happening in the UK....BBC planting there hidden messages.
Actually if the bi-generation effect copied everything then Sutekh is still out there with Tennant-14 and every other potential Doctor incarnation since it's been riding along since Baker, got split off in The Five Doctors when they all went their separate ways at the end so it's been there since the beginning INCLUDING Hartnell/Hurndall-1 whch means it's also overlapped itself... But it's also been around when the universe has been destoyed TWICE, once by Smith-13 when the TARDIS exploded and with Tennant-10 when the Daleks made the Crucible to re-write the universe in their own image (which would've been a lot better). Not to mention when TARDIS was pushed out by House(?) took over in that pocket-universe with all the dead TARDIS that it had lured in to consume she never mentioned feeling a presense then either.
He got lost in the Tardis wardrobe section, developed an unhealthy obsession with shoes, and went completely mad. It happens. There are probably quite a few people and otherworldly beings lost in that time machine.
The 4th Doctor didn't send Sutekh into the time vortex. Sutekh was traveling down a spatial corridor from Mars to Earth, and the Doctor used some equipment from the TARDIS to lengthen the corridor so that Sutekh would die of old age before he got to the end of it.
@@lgoamity Yes, that's right! I haven't seen Pyramids of Mars in probably 40 years is my excuse. RTD should have watched it before writing that stuff, but I bet he just skimmed the wiki entry on Sutekh
Shhh, RTD knows that but hopes that the modern audience don't. Also Sutekh's main party piece in the Pyramids of mars is looking at people, his eyes flash, and they DIE on the spot. Which eh could have done any time Ncutti is standing in the TARDIS door gloating at him. Or better yet, as he is being dragged across the room he just looks at the Doctor and says "My mind is in yours" Just like he did with the 4th Doctor, and Ncutti is instantly turned into a meat puppet. This Sutekh seemed to have forgotten that he can do either of those things with a mere glance.
@@lesigh1749 And he overpowered the Doctor BEFORE he evolved into this supposed true god form. He should be at the level of the Black Guardian at this point!
"I don't want people to associate disabled people as evil!" "I don't want people to play with the sonic screwdriver like a gun!" "HERES A 13 YEAR OLDD MOBILITY SEGWAY WITH MOUNTED MACHINE GUNS!!!!!!!!!!"
Disabled people are not to be perceived as evil or dangerous or scary, so we have disabled peoole shooting out of wheelchairs and Segway and not yet shooting out of their walker Gatlin gun combination equipment.
@@troffle Trying to steal someone's comment but it shows in order of posting.... Real smart. You should be the next Dr Who writer... they love ripping off ideas.
Doctor Who with Rose: We'll do a big reveal that the reason she saw bad wolf everywhere was because she was seeding the time stream with clues to create herself and save the Doctor Doctor Who with Martha: we'll do a big reveal that she wasn't walking the earth to assemble a weapon, but just to spread the word about the doctor so the shared faith of humanity can restore the doctor so he can win the day with compassion Doctor Who with Donna: We'll do a big reveal that the reason the ood called her the doctor donna was because she became part Timelord and the doctor has to remove her best memories to save her Doctor Who with Ruby: We'll do a big reveal that the reason the god of death couldn't see her mom's face was because he had a bad camera angle and Ruby's mom was just dramatically pointing at a street sign, with no one around, in the dark, for her own self benefit. Ruby's mom is a bit of a drama queen like that.
all of this sounds stupid. admitted the earlier stories at least add up to something, but they are all equally poor IMO. They all stem from never understanding what the Doctor was actually about
Incredible how not one member of senior staff thought of this: Not the rich baby in the segway, not the campy robot, not the 15-year-old drag queen, not the almost-silent box-ticking diverse soldier, and not the middle-class menopausal lady they put in charge of the tough decisions. Did I miss anyone out? No, the episode makes clear that UNIT is run by 3 people, a baby and a robot.
It's remarkable how consistently trash their content for Doctor Who, Star Wars, and Indiana Jones was. Disney, you are amazingly dense, mind blowingly petty, and the fact that anyone entrusted you with a pen and paper to write this cultural garbage is unbelievable. GOOD JOB!
You forgot Willow... Also NO ONE has talked about the Percy Jackson show that came out earlier this year, nobody. So I can only assume it's not very good. Also "Wish." they butchered their own anniversary movie. And Buzz Lightyear. And all of their "Life action remakes." .... Everything Disney touches turn to s
@@SatanLiterally Fair enough, I have not seen it so I don't know. I just find it curious how this is a pretty big property.. Or at least I assume it is, I was never into it but seen other people talk about it on the internet. And there's just nothing at all... Honestly, my way of gauging if something is a big success or not is if I see any memes from it. Invincible has A LOT of memes all around the place, so I know it's successful. Same with "The Boys." and "Wednesday." for a while I saw the memes just floating around. I have seen zero Percy Jackson memes... So yeah.
@@darthlaurel "Metal is very rare but you're all nearly dead anyway and I wasn't smart enough to go get it from anywhere else, so I'm going to take away your only piece of it."
He thought bringing back Sutekh will appeal to the old fans. The same old fans he literally told can leave and not watch the show? That's a great strategy.
I like how the people that always talk about unity and diversity are the ones that are most self-righteous and self interested in their own life. I almost never see these people talk about giving back to other people being selfless or caring about someone other than themselves…
Truth, they only talk about it when it's in the context of it benefits them, or they are clearly virtue signaling. "Look at me I'm such a good person." And they always hate the working class, people who does work, people who are actually more talented and capable than them, of any skin color they hate people with more potential than themselves so they have to stomp them down. I even talked to a black guy once who told me. "Oh I got this job real easy, I checked all the diversity boxes just fine, but then they figured out I checked the wrong box too... I'm very competent and they hated it so they fired me." .... I actually believed him when he said it, also when he was so honest about how he got the job. He seemed incredibly intelligent and I fully believe these people are that petty, they can't stand any potential threat to them.
@@MoonPhantom Like I don’t think these people even consider something like opening a door for someone unless a camera is on them. The thought never crosses their mind.
@@ASoberBear Well you see... opening a door for someone is actually misogyny because you're assuming they can't do it for themselves... Yeah I'm a woman and I hold doors for people because... It's polite. But yeah they actively are looking for things to be offended by, and things OTHER people are doing wrong. Not them though, they are perfect human beings don't you know, and always were, they never had to learn a thing. And it's unfair when things are hard for them, cause they are the only ones who ever had hardship... That's the thing that always grinds me with these people. I don't doubt they are suffering and things are hard for them, because on this planet we ALL must suffer and endure hardship. It's their belief that nobody else ever suffers! Because again... EVERYBODY on this planet suffers and must endure hardship! And they really believe they are the only ones ever and it's not fair. No it's not fair, it is what it is. Suck it up.
@@philnewton-england7795 Hey in fairness, I actually think the Ruby actor is pretty good and she is REALLY doing her best, you can tell she is, she's trying so hard. It's just that the material given to her is absolute trash... She did her best but she got nothing to work with... And her solo episode was the best episode because she's a way better actress than Cutie so... yeah.
The TARDIS has advanced sensors that can detect anything, yet somehow it missed an invisible being hanging onto it for billions of years? That means Sutekh would be everywhere, since the TARDIS rebooted the entire universe in "Rhe Big Bang." What a colossal joke this show has become.
A standing ovation for RTD 👏. You have produced, hands down, the single worst season of Doctor Who ever created. You will go down in history as the man (sorry person) who killed Doctor Who by turning it into a gay horror show.
Oh RTDs got NPD and never got over whovians getting bored with his x files with a who twist torchwood.. To boot everything RTD does is just rip off new adventures, BBC who and now faction paradox
Sutekh deserved a better comeback story. He deserved a better Doctor. Sutekh should have fought against Peter Capaldi's Doctor. Sutekh was the only reason why I tuned in because he was an awesome villain in "Pyramids of Mars" and I was sick of endless appearances by the Daleks or the Master. True to form, wack-tivist RTD wrote Sutekh's return the way Disney hacks wrote Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi - formerly cool characters made to look like idiots.
with the way Sutekh looks and the way peter capaldi was as a doctor it would've had Peter playing Metallica like Eddie in Stranger Things Season 4 or something, idk why but i see that happening for some reason
I'm actually GLAD this story sucked because I just want to draw a line and write off the entire last few years of the show as non-canon. A good episode would jeopardise that.
>this is a new doctor, a more sensitive doctor, one who's worked out his traumas and has a more upbeat and positive attitude >drags a dog on a leash behind his car, then opens the car door to shout "I'm BETTER THAN YOU" at it k
I've been watching him since She Hulk (except for Willow; not my circus...) and I've _never_ seen him floored by stupid so hard that he just reclines all the way back in his chair.
This is all i can stand to watch when it comes Doctor Who or anything Star Wars including that Wokeolyte which doesn’t even give a f-ck about its own fans at this point.
I agree. Less disappointing this way. He's more consistent, goes into detail about context, more entertaining/humorous, doesn't get self-sabotaging entertainment from antagonizing fans, etc. It's like a little comedy and tragedy rolled into one as we laugh at how bad this previously enjoyable show has become
This season of Dr Who was perfectly timed, I didn't wanna work in the garden and dig out 30 years of bamboo growth but being told to touch grass made me do it, And a couple of months later the bamboo is gone and Dr Wtf is finally over.
I can't believe the legendary Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith, were referred to as people who "just travelled in the TARDIS"! This is the same Sarah Jane Smith, who RTD brought back in Series 2, for an emotional reunion, and who went on to star in her own TV series! 😠
I used to think it was sad that so many Doctor Who actors had died relatively young, but now I think that they were being spared. It's going to be hard to make a living on convention money, these days.
No, his old episodes ARE good. They have all the elements this current season lacks. His old episodes aren't perfect. There are many flaws that he retained when writing this current season and even amplified, but those old episodes are totally rewatchable in a way that the current episodes are not.
It was moffat that probably needed to be brought back not RTD. I think moffat was the better writer all along. He wrote a couple of the better episodes during the first couple seasons of new-who before he became show runner.
@@upstatelee18 And then he helped turn the show into complete trash. And he had to steal huge things from the between-series books. Moffat and RTD need to be held underwater until half-an-hour after the bubbles stop.
It's so sad, this was promised to be a fantastic new version of Doctor Who one that will crack the U.S. and wow legions of new fans but because of some of the acting and most of the writing it's not going to keep older fans invested.
@@markgrehan3726 Who told you that? Did you get some special message from Russ , the BBC or Disney? The message I and everyone else got was "Screw you and the horse you rode in on!". Message delivered and carried out.
True. After this fact even his first run seasons stink… I was just showing my mate Doctor Who for the first time, and the amount of times he just paused and laughed about bad writing…. Made me really embarrassed for hyping it up do much. It seems apart from a few happy accidents, and Actors who carried the show… the writing has always been worst than a highschool grade.
@@markgrehan3726 Americans aren't going to like this either. I have always had the strongest impression that they have loved Who for its essential Britishness, and even the most diehard *actual* fan can see this is "Disney Who". The fact that RTD wrote this for American markets and dumbed it right down to this degree shows more about his personal views of Americans than actual reality. He should have written it for people who don't want to be talked down to, who are tired of being preached at, and who want to see wit and intelligence - because that is what will stand out on an American network today.
Apparently while being dragged by the TARDIS Sutekh was so dumbfounded at the silliness of the plot that he completely forgot that he can in fact kill somebody or posses them and control them like a puppet with a mere glance and a flash of his eyes.
@@troffle He just didn't have the technology. I mean it's a cord that's used to secure a load to a trailer, how could his giant intellect possibly comprehend that?
@@SuperLloyd84 jesuswept the picture you draw of the levels of intelligence of these writers, that just hurts. This show used to have a mandate of intelligent writing for the audience. We're doomed. Let's also point out, it came from his silly "remembered" TARDIS. When have we ever seen that thing before?
Season One, Episode Eight was excellent, I loved the bit where Ian got inside the dalek and they were able to escape in time to warn the Thals about the ambush.
Amazing. They really did the "Oh, you're special because we believed in you! All the other people across history that are insignificant? Nobody has ever believed in them enough. Not cult leaders, or kings, or loved ones. Nobody cared about anyone the way you were mildly interested in your mom's backstory!" I really hoped we were past that shitty ass trope.
The only way this series could've been redeemed is this: when Ruby turns around at the end, she turns around with a revolver and shoots him so he can regenerate into someone that doesn't cry like a beech 3 times per episode on average.
That'd be hilarious. Sob sob! Boohoo! Crying in the middle of the worst time possible. Ruby. FFS! Pulls a revolver and takes him out. Stop crying and do something!
Oh they did not try to make the Doctor leaving Susan into a horrible thing that he shouldn't have done. Context is very important on that one. He left her behind because she fell in love with a man, and The Doctor knew that she wouldn't be able to bring herself to leave him in order to be with the man she loved. The Doctor left her behind so she could live a happy life with him, and probably also to help humanity rebuild, after the Dalek occupation of Earth was thwarted. it probably hurt him way more than her to do that, but he knew it was what was best for Susan. Also, he promised that one day he would come back and see her. The Doctor is being chastised by RTD for the crime of wanting to give his granddaughter the chance to have a family of her own, and live a normal life.
To be fair: a) he's been busy b) the first Doctor and Susan met again in "The Five Doctors". And then she got to meet the Fifth Doctor. c) according to the Audios, the Eighth Doctor did indeed go back to see her. But I'm super sure facts just get in RTD's and the modern fans's way.
Reminds me of The Doctor Dances, talking to the doctor in the hospital “When this war (WWII) began, I was a father and a grandfather. Now, I am neither, but I am still a doctor.” At the time, I didn’t know any Classic Who, so I didn’t know about Susan, but the power of that scene was that you KNEW the 9th Doctor was connecting with him on a visceral level and therefore he must have lost both children and grandchildren in the Time War (I’m honestly still unclear if Susan lived out her life(s) with her husband on Earth or if she joined Gallifrey in the Time War). Mind you, it reminds me because the writing used to be GOOD and it used to complement what came before, and now it’s just… whatever the hell this is. Before, you felt that the Doctor was running away from past mistakes because, like all creatures in this fallen universe, he is fallible, but as a “higher being” his mistakes have vastly greater consequences. Now, you feel like the writers are bashing the character for perceived character flaws before *they* - perfect beings that they are - controlled him. It’s enough to make me yack up my oatmeal.
@@StarWarsomania Yes I loved that scene! I'm not very familiar with the Big Finish audiobooks, or other spin off stuff, but I always took that scene to mean that she had been killed as a result of the Time War. She may not have wanted to join up with Gallifrey, but I could easily see a scenario where the Daleks found out that The Doctor's granddaughter was on Earth, and sent a force out to exterminate her, as a way to hurt The Doctor. Maybe that was part of what pushed him to join in the war in the first place.
@@StarWarsomania his claim to being a father is tenuous, unless you count Jenny. In the post-classic books the Time Lords were sterile and instituted regeneration to continue the species until they built machines to remix base genetics to grow new Gallifreyans. And Susan was originally in pre-Time Lord history, the Hand of Omega kicked the TARDIS into Gallifrey's forbidden past for the Doctor to find Susan. But now, just like Star Wars with Disney, they threw out the books until they needed to cherry pick something decent to resurrect, steal and degrade like Thrawn. The book depicting all that history is called "Lungbarrow".
Soooo.....everyone on earth died, including David Tennant's Doctor? When he's brought back to life does that fire the regeneration process, and if so is there another split Doctor on earth now? And what happened to D.T's TARDIS? Jeebus. ...
When I first theorised Sutekh returning (yes it was that easy to guess!), I thought 'great, finally a chance for this series to do well' but the truth of the matter is that they BUTCHERED him! That final episode basically destroyed EVERYTHING left of the Dr Who canon by somehow suggesting Sutekh was MAGICALLY on top of the TARDIS _the entire_ time - yes even when the Daleks and other big threats and unique stuff happening, Sutekh didnt pop out to finally kill the Doctor or aid the baddies. SO DUMB! And Susan Twist is nobody! And Ruby is just a 'normal' girl? But then how does she see the snowing thing? Why would Sutekh be interested in her and not Clara Oswald for example?
Honestly, the answer is easy. Like so many other franchises the writers want to use magic as the answer. They don't want to put effort in being consistent or logical, so they just make stuff up. Any inconsistencies can be waved away as "because magic. Why Stekh didn't acted before, because magic. Why Susan have snow powers, because magic.
@@juan0808 That is the worst thing about incompetent/lazy people writing fantasy or scifi. They think that, because the rules aren't the same as reality, there are no rules. But it doesn't work that way. In order for a scifi or fantasy story to be good, there have to be rules. The difference is that you write the rules and then you have to stick to them. In this case, there were rules already in place and RTD decided to break those rules, thinking that it didn't matter, but for a Doctor Who story to be good, it can't break the rules in the past. The only real exception I can think of off the top of my head is the sonic screwdriver which became a bit overpowered. However, even there, there is one rule. It doesn't work on wood. That stays consistent for whatever reason.
Personally I would've had the Trickster be the shadowy figure that dropped Ruby off at the church. The trickster lives in a plane the tardis never visited, so the trickster is safe and because he's the parent of Ruby. The dust would never killed her, and the reason why that moment is so important and keeps changing is because that's what the trickster does. They set up that moment to be a choice that the doctor would have to make. The doctors choice with ruby , and the reason why the Trickster did this in the first place. Is because when Sutekh brought death to existence, then there was no more chaos.
I can't wait for RTD to write a person with a walker, that turns into a Gatling gun. A person with crutches that turn into katanas. Or a mobility scooter with a cannon.
Problems with ruby’s mom being normal average person: - Snow and music? - What did maestro mean when he said there was something wrong with her? - Why was the mom “beyond a glitch and shadowed” - Why did the memory of the doctor regarding the mom change? - The time window required the power of Europe to power up and was broken, it turned on magically when ruby walked in and then stayed on throughout the whole episode?!?!! - Why was the time window answering the questions? General plot holes: - why did the doctor need to get a spoon when the planets were left intact in 2046 there was load of metal just no people? - so the doctors entire plan was based on the tardis not being moved/rotated? - if the doctor,Mel and Ruby were the last people alive in the universe why did sutekh care about the mom if she was already dead? - if a new Susan is created 73 yards away from tardis when the doctor lands somewhere then how can the mom of a character be a Susan?!?! - how does death to death bring life? Doesn’t really make much sense. - why was that random woman alive? Why did the doctor land there? These are some I noticed after first watching, if I rewatch I’d probably find a few more. Also, Just rembered didn’t in boom the ambulance was unable to say who the mother was? Wouldn’t it know cuz of the dna test??? Might need to rewatch boom.
Also on the “bringing death to death brings life” shite, how come everybody is coming back to life while Sutekh is being dragged through the time vortex, and is still very much alive!
Good summary! I too wrote my own list of problems with the episode, and it has many different points to both you and the video. Basically, every single line of this hour-long episode is a problem. It's one big steaming pile.
Thanks Disparu, I've loved your reviews have kept me sane during this season of Who. The "they're all dead" from Red Dwarf was exactly what I thought of! I appreciate all your hard work on these videos.
Just imagine, someday an extraterrestrial invasion fleet will be heading towards Earth, intercept these Doctor Who episodes - and call the whole thing off.
Man... When I thought the twist was gonna be... that the mom was Susan who was persued by Daleks, or had been found by the Timelords that wanted to draft her for the time wars, or something so she HAD to quickly drop her baby. And I thought that would be incredibly lazy and obvious writing and yet somehow... the actual writing is WORSE than what I feared.... Good job.
Stop letting Soap Opera and Sitcom Writers write Science Fiction and Fantasy. They clearly lack the intelligence to do so competently. I've been seeing this for the last 20 year or so, every Franchise gets wrecked the moment people familiar with how to write these genres are no longer doing so. It all turns to Feelings and Hallways and Wibbly Wobbly Timey whimey who gives a shit how anything works it's all about me and the Drama I want to create
Foundation was a beautifully crafted Series (with a few flaws). For the Season Finale the Showrunner destroyed Terminus, the home of the Foundation. That does not happen in the books and destroys the story entirely. But, hey, the Showrunner said he wanted a Big Bang Finale.
@@joso7228 It was absolutely not. Foundation was utter offensive trash that spits on absolutely everything Asimov ever cared about. Asimov wrote over 300 books and had a PhD. Psychohistory was originally developed by a team of over 50 mathematicians. Insane things like a perpetually cloned emperor or a psychic girl would have completely messed up psychohistory. Said psychic girl who ought to have been executed on her own planet for dabbling in forbidden arts worked out psychohistory? So would the mind-reading technology at the entry ports. So would the "Vault"'s quantum-build-new-body technology. If the Star Bridge was so crucial, why was there only one and why was it not rebuilt after thirty years? The room full of scientists and engineers who decided it was better to archive a sundial than a waterclock in case you settled a planet without water and WANTED TO KNOW HOW LONG IT WAS GOING TO TAKE YOU TO DIE. Plus the same scientists watching this woman guess ten coin flips in a row and NOT ASK HOW SHE DID IT. And a book Hardin who said "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent", to the TV version who said "I'm gonna go see what violence we can muster". And spaceships that have clear windows into outer space, but instead of closing the windows, FORCE YOU TO GO TO SLEEP BEFORE HYPERSPACE JUMPING. If you think the "Foundation" series was beautifully crafted... deargods AND YOU DO KNOW THE BOOKS? You have committed the kind of sin Asimov the atheist would have condemned you for. The series wasn't just utter trash from start to finish, it wasn't just an attack on the intelligence of the audience, it was an utter sin against absolutely everything both the Foundation and Asimov stood for. The problem with the Empire was the decay of the galaxy thanks to human nature and stupidity; and this show WAS ITSELF AN EXAMPLE OF HUMAN NATURE AND STUPIDITY.
Every single reddit fan theory about any of this season is better than what we got. The only way to write this bad is on purpose or have the IQ of an ant. I thought Lost had the worse tv show ending ever, I now stand corrected...
Hopefully it won’t matter because this will be the last episode of Doctor Who for a decade or two. As usual, I’m sure this show will disappoint me on this point like it’s been doing for a few years now.
YES I was thinking amount the same thing, Rose giving life back to Jack had MEANING and was something serious, but even apart from this they are ripping off SO MANY thing from Ecclestone's series it's genuinely infuriating
@@EyeOfMagnus4E201 Sadly, "Season 2" has already been filmed and is in post-production. It's happening - RTD and Gatwa once again, the nightmare continues. I've only really been watching this latest season "just to see how bad it can get", but after this, I don't think I can go any further. This was the least woke of the episodes and still somehow the most offensive to my intelligence.
I imagine RTD would say something like "underage pregnancy is a reality and happens all the time in the real-world, so we feel it's important to reflect that." Not understanding that just because something _does_ happen in the real world, doesn't mean it _should,_ and all he's actually doing is normalising it...

The world record is 5. Mother and child lived. Lina Medina. There. That is a thing you know now.
And everyone was horrified that her father would do that to her. Funny how you left that part out. Also funny how you think that means anything at all to what op was saying. Your hard drives need to be checked.
@@SimonMoon5 Gotta say it again. Sutekh was not the god of Death, that was Anubis. Sutekh was not the god of Dust, that was Geb. The Dust thing was never in the classic series. In the myth, Set was the god of deserts, storms, disorder, violence and foreigners. So RTD is also an incompetent stupid failure of a researcher and writer.
@@azzajames7661 Ah. The thing said by people who can't be bothered to look up references and end up writing crap as bad as RTD's. FFS why didn't you just tell Nick to pull a Ncuti and touch grass?

You’d stop them digging up the Gaffer and turning him adrift. You’d make some folk pay for their dirty work.’ ‘I would,’ she said. ‘That is how it would begin. But it would not stop with that, alas! We will not speak more of it. Let us go!’ ... that was Galadriel in "Fellowship Of The Ring" wisely refusing to take the Ring because she knew how it would go. ... do you know who you are? You're the five-second-flash of evil-Movie-Galadriel who would've taken the Ring. Congratulations. You are the evil you failed to be smart enough to criticise.
RTD: So we changed the sonic because it shouldn't look like a gun, not a good thing to market to kids. ALSO RTD: Has 13 year old kid with machine gun in wheelchair, blasting away.
Remember RTD had 13's costume regenerate to 14's costume because he didn't want the Doctor in "drag" , then hired a Drag Queen and put the doctor in a skirt.
Even dumber, it was his revival series that made th Sonic Screwdriver to be used in this way. The Classic Series the Screwdriver mainly was used for opening locks or panels, occasionally to use a sonic pulse to set of a mine or something (and it had to be done in a very specific way). RTD and co started useing it as a cure all for every problem
The reveal of Ruby's mother confirms what I've suspected all along - RTD has only returned to Doctor Who to troll the fans. I don't know if he's been taking flack over the years, but he's clearly bitter to the point of using the show he supposedly loves to get back at the fans. Even putting aside all the identity politics which is typical BBC/Disney (although Moffat's episode seemed able to avoid it), we have: 1. You felt Ruby's mother was special? Ah! You're seeing patterns that aren't there! Typical fanboy! 2. You expect the Doctor to be asexual? Ah! Forget it! He's actually a predator! 3. You want explanations for 73 Yards, Ruby's snow and how Sutekh could hide in the TARDIS even when it's been blown up? Hahaha! 4. Did I saying this would be the biggest and best finale ever? Ah! I meant to say I'm going to destroy a classic character by making it look like a CGI dog and kill it by dragging it on it's lead, and then have 15 minutes of Eastenders, which is the show I REALLY love! 5. You didn't notice there weren't any black characters in Dot and Bubble? Ah! You're racist!! Hahahaha! 6. You want sci-fi in your sci-fi show? Ah! How about musical numbers, dance routines and Bridgerton! Hahaha! 7. You thought the best episodes of my previous run where written by other writers? Ah! Well I'm writing them all now! (except for allowing my mate Moffat to write a couple - oh, and to force those Marvel writers who didn't make their show gay enough to make amends as a sort of grovelling apology to me personally!). Hahaha! 8. You want scary monsters? Hahahaha! Grow up - have a literal boogeyman you bunch of space babies! Lol! 9. Did you say Davros was one of the few classic villains that Nu Who has done justice to? Ha! Hold my beer! 10. You want to know who the Anita Dobson character is? Ah! I'm going to make you wait at least a full year, and then it still won't make any sense that she's lived next to Ruby all this time! HAHAHAHAHA!
I just realized: Did Russel steal the idea of going back in time to meet the mother who left the protagonist at an orphanage from “meet the Robinsons”? Because it’s almost the same: the mother is in a hooded cloak and the time traveler rings the bell, because he scares of the mother before she can. The only difference is, that in meet the Robinsons it’s raining instead of snowing which makes it way less likely that the infant would have frozen to death
Yep, the more I learn about new shows, I wanna try to rewatch the old ones. especially since I only watched it as little kid. Red Dwarf sure might have aged no that well, but it still seems better than whatever we have now.
@@markgrehan3726 Even then, Disney doesn't want us to think that she's special because she's the child of a non Force sensitive Palpatine clone or because she appropriated the name Skywalker in the end. She just IS special, just because of course she is. She just is the most Forciest Forcer that ever Forced, because yaAaaAASssSSS sLaY qUeEn. Ugh, I actually wrote that crap at the end of that...
The twist is; there is no twist. It’s not clever, it’s just wasting time on a pointless mystery, when we could be developing the character in the present.
Admittedly, this has been a problem with Doctor Who for a long time, and is especially pronounced for Nu Who. I remember Eccleston accidentally unleashing a gateway that flooded Earth with a battalion of Daleks because he thought it was a signal from Gallifrey, but later in the same 45 minute episode managed to pull some sonic screwdriver shenanigans to suck every Dalek back in the gateway with minimal human casualties. There's no point in most Nu Who storylines to care about major events and setpieces because they are just... ludicrous and no matter how high the stakes were, they were overcome with ridiculous ease and with little cost. Compared to some of the major events from classic Doctor Who. The Hartnell era 12 episode epic "The Dalek Master Plan" (13 if you count "Mission to the Unknown", although 2 episodes basically don't relate to anything because of the Christmas lead up and 2 involve a rematch with the Meddling Monk) is one of the biggest examples of where the stakes are high and, although the Doctor triumphs, the price of victory is not cheap. The War Games (Patrick Troughton's finale) is also interesting because it's another example of the Doctor facing a renegade Time Lord, except the renegade has aligned himself with Steve Jobs and ultimately the Doctor realises that Time Lord intervention is required, knowing full well that the Time Lords view him as a renegade.
That was a plot point in the last grwat time war, butheres the thing, there it was a bad thing, it was an indication that TIME ITSELF was being so distorted by these two godly factions that death became just a word, people would die, then come back only to die right after and rinse and repeat, but here? This is just lame and stupid
That leash time vortex stretch literally leaves me speechless. Dr. Who has been pretty awful for years but this is literally mind numbingly stupid. I was operating under the impression that RTD was at least a competent writer, just hopelessly lost to activism, but that leash BS has shattered that illusion for me.
No one seems to mention how the "Doctor" uses his sonic screwdriver about 5 times in the whole series (If that). He also does not use his intelligence to overcome any issues. He seems incompetent and only the people around him make a "difference".
Well, he did change a CRT TV from the 90s into a Tablet with the Sonic Screwdriver. Somehow. Just Consume Product, don't ask questions. The incredible part is that TV's were box shaped for a reason, i.e. they needed a cone-shaped screen to work. The artifice was making the Cone-Shape look less odd. If you look at the 2005 iMac 'teardrop' shape, that's functionally why. Putting an iPod inside a shoe is possible, but you'd have to functionally assert a reason for it. When they changed from CRT to LCD, suddenly you could get flat-screen devices. The Cathode ray relies on a cone-shaped projection to shoot electrons at a screen/material layer, using a controlled magnetic coil to fire in scanned lines. How this works when you flatten the process is infinitely odd, because it still needs a reflector or coil to aim the beam(s). It's a vastly different kind of technology to the LCD or matrix screen, which has a field of crystals that change state based on voltage. I sort of get what they're trying to achieve, but it's a bizarre method to attach a Tablet to a computer when you could just have WiFi and make it work. 2046 and 2026, most tech should work. Just like 2006 and 2026. You can't really guarantee an iPhone 6 will work, unless they make 5/6/7G backward compatible, or they make concessions for older devices. IDK.
I think that's the point. How do you destroy a culture? First you destroy their heroes. When kids have no role models to learn from they become weak and easy to manipulate.
A character, or characters, are only as intelligent as the people writing them. As for the magic wand, I mean, sonic screwdriver, it's SERIOUSLY OVERUSED. Just look at any promo poster or cover of Dr Who since Harry Potter, think about John Hurt's War Doctor giving shit to the knob-end doctors brandishing it like it's a weapon ("It's a screwdriver, what are you going to do? Assemble a cabinet at them???"). Ffs. Patrick Troughton, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and even Paul McGann use the sonic SPARINGLY. The only other Doctor that used it quite often was Jon Pertwee and even then it wasn't EVERY EPISODE.
The weirdest thing about all the shows going woke is the timing. This is why people believe there are higher ups giving the government and entertainment industry their marching orders. It’s like someone flipped a switch and this is our life now. It’s interesting to think about. How is western culture made? Is it top down or bottom up?
in the 1970's in the uk tv programs like "love thy neighbour" were created to make people more accepting of immigrants. the white man was shown to be a bigot and the black man to be reasonable and good company. this is just the current year ham fisted attempt.
It seems life after 2015 (or perhaps 2019) the 🌎 REALLY entered a pervasive woke era @an aggresive pace. Academia, politics, policies, social media censorship, rising crime, gov't going after farmers, increase in mental illness, openly gr***ing children, intense gaslighting by media, exposure of corruption. It's like forces of darkness decided to come out from the sewers & let everyone in the daytime know that they've always been the ones behind the scenes.
I had a laugh while noticing the BBC had been showing clips from Pyramids of Mars lately to 'hype people up' for Empire of Death. I was like, not probably something you wanna be doing, reminding viewers that there's a better older episode they could be watching or re-watching instead, lol
They did a much better job with much less money. Chances are if the had a lot more money it might not have been as great as it was because they wouldn'0t have thought things through as much
Sutekh really is weird. Powerful enough to survive the universe ending and restarting attached to an exploding tardis, but weak enough that he can't resist being pulled along by two people who weigh half of what he probably does
"We all have our time-machines, don't we? Those that take us back are memories...and those that carry us forward...are dreams." - much better quote from a much better time-machine story.
Did Sutekh have a Rubik's Cube. He must have been bored shitless hanging around all those years. I wonder if he killed random stuff on the way just to keep his hand in?
How do you think he reached his ultimate evolution? Only someone who's mastered the 100x100x100 cube can reach such an enlightened state that he can't recognize an average teenager.
For the record, Sutekh wasn't the god of death, that was Anubis. As was the jackal's head. Sutekh also wasn't the god of dust, that was his father Geb.
I've played with it, and Chat GTP really does come up with plots like this; the vague mystery, the world ending villain with no real explanation, no real direction. I wouldn't be surprised.
@@BackUp-nx2de I am feeding my collection of classic and Eighth Doctor ebooks into a local GPT. It's gonna take absolute days, it has so far and it's not a third finished. ... of course, I asked the silly thing BEFORE I started reading in the books, "describe the Candy monster from the seventh Doctor episode" and it described him as a Hobbit, so.
OK, but we have to admit that unit just breaking out the firearms and shooting at the space aliens is kind of a meme. I remember the Easter special, where the look of just joy and rapture on the face of one of the unit soldiers when he said bullets work on them, it was it was fun.
Consider how similar Millie and Jenna look that would have been a brilliant idea - but I'd rather Clara not be connected to this. Bad enough they dragged Mel and Sarah Jane into this.
Also, she's supposed to be unalive now and wouldn't have the metabolic processes anymore. Well now they live in a universe where the Earth can be destroyed a thousand paradoxical times in the past and dust can travel through space to destroy suns so what the damn hell.
@@mikeweber3685 That's something a 4 year old would do. Point at interesting t´hings they see even though no one is around. A grown woman doing that is indication of severe developmental delays and cognitive impairment.
And why would she be so bothered about naming the baby she has literally just left to die on the stone Cold steps of a church in the freezing cold of December at midnight. This mentally deficient 15 year old could have dropped the baby off at a hospital the police station in a store at a friend in her school in fact a million other places rather than a friggin church. And then she wears a weird cape and starts behaving strangely pointing at the road sign because the name of her baby must be Ruby for some peculiar reason. Why???? Did nobody at all in the production team say to Russell T Davies mate this makes no fucking sense what are you doing? I suspect everybody is scared of him and wouldn't there question him and that's why these ridiculous scripts have got through this season they are awful
Wasn't the lamp post with the street sign also behind the TARDIS at the time in the Window? And previously there wasn't any turning and naming, so what the?
Thank you for suffering through this whole season & at least making entertaining content by reviewing the episodes! I will keep my doctor's in my heart & rewatch those episodes on Blu-ray.
Plot twist if a) RTD had a brain and b) UNIT scientific advisors had a lifespan of more than two episodes: the kid is funnelling off technology and money to become the next insanely powered supervillain. ... I just want to know where the anti-TARDIS forcefield of the archives and the Time Window CAME from. Silly me, thinking Davies had a complete enough worldview to not ask such questions.
So.... Ruby wants to find her mother.... Life is wiped out everywhere but somehow her mother records her DNA (somehow) in 2046. They get the name / identify of the woman. Then they reminisce about her. She is still alive....... go find her. Also...Dr. the reverse of the reverse is true..... Death deleting Death brings Life....... that cannot die.
I watched the Hartnell Doctor 1st run and 1st hand (yeah, I'm that old), and every season that followed...until the end of Capaldi's run. The disrespect they are showing the show and the canon makes one weep.
I'm that old too. It seems there are no consequences anymore. They don't care how much money they spend, or how many people watch. It's just a propaganda machine that is a public service they are happy to produce.
@@stevenedwards8353 I have some flashes of the Hartnell years, but there was one Troughton episode when two guys opened their mouths and released some sort of gas - I know it sounds stupid - but the way it was done scared little me behind the sofa. Wish I could go back and pay waay closer attention. I've re-seen most all of it that still is.
To summarize the season RTD: "OOOOH Look at this Mystery box! It has Ruby's mother inside isn't it so amazing?!" Audience: "K..." RTD: "... but BUT that's not all! It can make it snow and DODGE THE GOD OF DEATH!" Audience: "Alright... so this must be important then?" RTD: *Proceeds to open box* "IT WAS NOTHING! Haha! Tricked you! It was only important because YOU made it important! HAHAHAHA" Audience: "... what?" The real twist is that RTD is just a brain damaged version of JJ Abrams. At least JJ remembered to PUT something in the box, even if it was stupid.
If you think the mother reveal itself was terrible enough as it was, apparently RTD was inspired by the "ordinary parent/s" twist from Star Wars: The Last Jedi, because apparently Ruby Sunday is Rey to him. I'm not even joking, look up the news on this finale. Davies even admitted it in the iPlayer commentary.
@@SamuelBlack84Maybe Davies thought it was easier to plagiarise SW, since it's under Disney's ownership. And since Disney is affiliated with this new series of "Doctor Who"...
Yeah, but Rey was special because her Mum was a fricking Palpatine and so strong in the Force, unlike Ruby's Mum who apparently is as ordinary as dirt.
@@markgrehan3726Either way, getting inspiration from The Last Jedi clearly isn't a fantastic way to apply a twist for your story's twist your character's arc. But hey... There's Always a Twist.
I can't decide which is worse "bringing death to death to bring life" or "the power of one, the power of two, the power of many". I was curious how this "doctor" would defeat Sutekh given he hasnt done anything in the whole show except cry a bit here and there and yell. I just can't believe how bad and ridiculous this whole thing was.
@@SamuelBlack84 Hey, all I said was that the statement itself was idiotic beyond measure, and that no _sane_ person would associate pointing a cylinder to wielding a gun; what _that_ means is that RTD is clearly _not_ sane.
@@Jackson-ub1uv Neither are many of his fans who blindly obey his viewpoint for the sake of virtue signalling Davies also said that he's going to change the Daleks to being nice and Jo longer evil because he feels they're celebrating evil What's next? Cybermen with handbags?
I think what I hate most is that any other modern doctor, ANY OTHER MODERN DOCTOR, would've been so incredibly angry and revengeful if earth or one of their companions died. And here's 15, crying, screaming, defeated. He doesn't do anything. He's just sad, a poor victim all the time. Like, dude! Where is the anger?! Where is the action!?
10:20 compare this "remembering the TARDIS back into existence" to Amy Pond on her wedding day. "Raggedy man, I remember you! And you are LATE FOR MY WEDDING! Something old, something new, something borrowed,....something BLUE"
Have to say with Matt Smiths first season. Lots of stuff didn't make technical sense. I mean Rory dying... and then he was a mechanical centurian somehow... And then the Doctor Rebooted the entire universe... Somehow... and Rory is back to life and a normal human... Somehow... And Amy and Rory now remembers a timeline that no longer exists cause it was rebooted... Somehow. This all technically doesn't make sense. BUT! The attachment to the characters was GREAT! The emotional impact, the emotional satisfaction was absolutely one hundred percent there. And you can get away with this, if you have the emotional satisfaction. Which Matt Smith season 1 DID. And this obviously did not... I cared about Amy, I cared about Rory, I cared about the Doctor. I was attached to the Doctors' willpower, and how he had to stand up to fix this not showing any fear or doubt. To Rory's loyalty that never faltered and I got to see it. To Amy's perseverance that she would not give up. We SAW them all being exceptional and acting it, so I could be impressed by them, feel attached, and be happy when they got a happy ending! They EARNED it and my emotional satisfaction!
That is pretty much how it works. I found Amy, Rory and River extremely dislikable and so I forgave nothing. Which isn’t saying that I thought the actors were bad at their jobs, because they were all doing a good job of playing what the scripts asked for Moffat was a messy writer so he absolutely relies on fans liking his lead characters.
"You want a father? I'll put all the names in this hat..." On serious note, if she ran DNA test father's name would appear just the same as mother's. So she probably knows who her father is. Just won't mention him ever again. Like Amandla Stenberg.
Remember that one time the tardis got sucked into a scrapper on a spaceship and nearly got destroyed from the outside. Poor sutekh must have gotten ripped to shreds
And let's be honest, all of the new things posted on the subreddit related to this season of doctor who doesn't even get to 100 upvotes, no one cares about the show anymore, and you can also see that in the subreddit
@@xaikkenreddit is like the nazi takes away your freedom of expression and it only exists woke in the reddit community This is why reddit has almost no people who like any post because modders ban everyone
The Tardis was duplicated at the end of the giggle so what does that mean for 14th Doctors Tardis. Does that mean there are two Suteks or did they thought "Oh this one has a ramp, I'll hope on this one!"

Doctor Who review of Season 1 episode 8 the season finale. The BBC and Disney partnered to build up to this episode to save Disney+, and failed. With lots of plot threads left specially for this episode, you at least expected AN ANSWER. No, nothing, not a single care in order to make the story satisfying for the audience. This episode reaked to me of you've already sat through the messaging I wanted to send you, and so now why should I care at the end. This episode gets worse at it goes along just because you realise where the story is going. All the plotlines, every episode, none of it meant anything. It was just bad writing. I wasn't even a fan of the previous episodes, but somehow still managed to be disappointed by the story. This episode, is indefensible. But what did you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below, and as always, thanks for watching :)
I had more fun watching your reviews than the actual show
can you say Ncutis name correctly?
I think Ncuti’s speech was the closest we got to Doctor (barely) but this should have been episode 1.
Like eleventh hour jank
Thank you! Your reviews provide a LOT more entertainement than the actual series!!! But how you stomach it all...?
I like how Sutekh spends literally thousands of years waiting until a doctor arrives who so bad at his job that he thinks now let’s just try it 😅
And he's so bad at his job that he has now resurrected every foe and threat to existence that he has ever faced and killed back to life. Fans of this series more than I know how bad this is and that they can't continue after this, but boy it would be a laughing riot if they let that rock.
Honestly, If they had explained it that way it would have made the episode so much better. Sutekh was waiting for an incarnation of the Doctor that was so incompetent that he was sure to be able to beat him.
What Sutekh didn't expect is that the Doctor is so important to the universe that his incompetence spread to everyone else in the universe that included Sutekh himself.... DUN DUN DUN....
I think that is 100% the case. Every preceding doctor (except the last two), had something definable (or indefinable) about their character where their opponent would either make a misstep, change their operations based on the Doctor's involvement, or flat out fail, or get kicked off the planet. I haven't seen that happen with this guy. In fact, if he was to apply for a job, the skill level would be above his ability, and only morons would hire him. But, you know, he does check all the boxes, and that's all I have to say about this decade.
Yeah sounds right.
They killed death before, I think in Torchwood, and the result was a living nightmare where everyone remained alive no matter how badly they were injured. Heck, they had a guy blow himself up and still be alive after.
They could create a Tardis out of thin air by just "remembering harder", but he had to travel to another planet.. for a spoon?
...only try to realize the truth.
What truth?
There is no spoon.
Maybe he could get rid of SpoonTech if he did something else harder?
The Doctor says a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.
There was a stupid throw away line about the things inside the Memory Tardis not being "real" enough to work for what he needed it for.
BUT it doesn't make sense that he had to find some random woman to give him a damn spoon cause from what we saw objects didn't just fall apart cities still seemed to exist without people inside them... Just fly to some random empty building and empty a freaking silverware drawer.
Not just any planet, the IKEA planet
I can't believe that RTD, the person who brought back Dr Who, the person that created the Sarah Jane Adventures because he loved Liz Sladen so much, would crap all over her memory with such a dismissive line about her and Tom Baker in what is generally rated as one of the best stories in Tom Baker's tenure.
What a scumbag.
being g a y e r you are means you have shckit all over over everything...

Sutek traveled in/on the Tardis since the 70s and what in all that time didn't care to come out until now, but, the one question he must know is "Who is Ruby's mum?". The God of Death is now the God of Gossip.
Why does it even matter?
He isnt't even the 'God of Death' Set (/sɛt/; Egyptological: Sutekh - swtẖ ~ stẖ[a] or: Seth /sɛθ/) is a god of deserts, storms, disorder, violence, and foreigners in ancient Egyptian religion.
Explains whats is happening in the UK....BBC planting there hidden messages.
Actually if the bi-generation effect copied everything then Sutekh is still out there with Tennant-14 and every other potential Doctor incarnation since it's been riding along since Baker, got split off in The Five Doctors when they all went their separate ways at the end so it's been there since the beginning INCLUDING Hartnell/Hurndall-1 whch means it's also overlapped itself...
But it's also been around when the universe has been destoyed TWICE, once by Smith-13 when the TARDIS exploded and with Tennant-10 when the Daleks made the Crucible to re-write the universe in their own image (which would've been a lot better). Not to mention when TARDIS was pushed out by House(?) took over in that pocket-universe with all the dead TARDIS that it had lured in to consume she never mentioned feeling a presense then either.
yeah also... this is the copy Tardis Ncuti made... Sutekh glommed onto the other one... the one Tenant was using...
He got lost in the Tardis wardrobe section, developed an unhealthy obsession with shoes, and went completely mad. It happens. There are probably quite a few people and otherworldly beings lost in that time machine.
The 4th Doctor didn't send Sutekh into the time vortex. Sutekh was traveling down a spatial corridor from Mars to Earth, and the Doctor used some equipment from the TARDIS to lengthen the corridor so that Sutekh would die of old age before he got to the end of it.
From His Egypt Crypt... Mars was the location of the "Security System".
We need writers who actually remember the damned show!
@@lgoamity Yes, that's right! I haven't seen Pyramids of Mars in probably 40 years is my excuse. RTD should have watched it before writing that stuff, but I bet he just skimmed the wiki entry on Sutekh
Shhh, RTD knows that but hopes that the modern audience don't.
Also Sutekh's main party piece in the Pyramids of mars is looking at people, his eyes flash, and they DIE on the spot. Which eh could have done any time Ncutti is standing in the TARDIS door gloating at him.
Or better yet, as he is being dragged across the room he just looks at the Doctor and says "My mind is in yours" Just like he did with the 4th Doctor, and Ncutti is instantly turned into a meat puppet.
This Sutekh seemed to have forgotten that he can do either of those things with a mere glance.

Doctor Who with Martha: we'll do a big reveal that she wasn't walking the earth to assemble a weapon, but just to spread the word about the doctor so the shared faith of humanity can restore the doctor so he can win the day with compassion
Doctor Who with Donna: We'll do a big reveal that the reason the ood called her the doctor donna was because she became part Timelord and the doctor has to remove her best memories to save her
Doctor Who with Ruby: We'll do a big reveal that the reason the god of death couldn't see her mom's face was because he had a bad camera angle and Ruby's mom was just dramatically pointing at a street sign, with no one around, in the dark, for her own self benefit. Ruby's mom is a bit of a drama queen like that.
all of this sounds stupid. admitted the earlier stories at least add up to something, but they are all equally poor IMO. They all stem from never understanding what the Doctor was actually about
Is that what Rose was about? I never could figure it, even after watching the show

Incredible how not one member of senior staff thought of this: Not the rich baby in the segway, not the campy robot, not the 15-year-old drag queen, not the almost-silent box-ticking diverse soldier, and not the middle-class menopausal lady they put in charge of the tough decisions. Did I miss anyone out? No, the episode makes clear that UNIT is run by 3 people, a baby and a robot.
It's remarkable how consistently trash their content for Doctor Who, Star Wars, and Indiana Jones was. Disney, you are amazingly dense, mind blowingly petty, and the fact that anyone entrusted you with a pen and paper to write this cultural garbage is unbelievable. GOOD JOB!

I like how the people that always talk about unity and diversity are the ones that are most self-righteous and self interested in their own life. I almost never see these people talk about giving back to other people being selfless or caring about someone other than themselves…
Truth, they only talk about it when it's in the context of it benefits them, or they are clearly virtue signaling. "Look at me I'm such a good person."
And they always hate the working class, people who does work, people who are actually more talented and capable than them, of any skin color they hate people with more potential than themselves so they have to stomp them down.
I even talked to a black guy once who told me. "Oh I got this job real easy, I checked all the diversity boxes just fine, but then they figured out I checked the wrong box too... I'm very competent and they hated it so they fired me."
.... I actually believed him when he said it, also when he was so honest about how he got the job. He seemed incredibly intelligent and I fully believe these people are that petty, they can't stand any potential threat to them.

That's the thing that always grinds me with these people. I don't doubt they are suffering and things are hard for them, because on this planet we ALL must suffer and endure hardship.
It's their belief that nobody else ever suffers! Because again... EVERYBODY on this planet suffers and must endure hardship! And they really believe they are the only ones ever and it's not fair.

The TARDIS has advanced sensors that can detect anything, yet somehow it missed an invisible being hanging onto it for billions of years? That means Sutekh would be everywhere, since the TARDIS rebooted the entire universe in "Rhe Big Bang." What a colossal joke this show has become.
The Tardis scanners can analyze anything except the writers plot holes
A standing ovation for RTD 👏. You have produced, hands down, the single worst season of Doctor Who ever created. You will go down in history as the man (sorry person) who killed Doctor Who by turning it into a gay horror show.

@@ZeeDeadlyPotato someone else who remembers the Faction obless you kind one
Sutekh deserved a better comeback story. He deserved a better Doctor. Sutekh should have fought against Peter Capaldi's Doctor. Sutekh was the only reason why I tuned in because he was an awesome villain in "Pyramids of Mars" and I was sick of endless appearances by the Daleks or the Master. True to form, wack-tivist RTD wrote Sutekh's return the way Disney hacks wrote Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi - formerly cool characters made to look like idiots.
Lore-wise it makes more sense this way tho. By now he knows better then to fight a competent doctor again.
Read the Tenth Doctor Titan Comics for a significantly better Sutekh return plot.
with the way Sutekh looks and the way peter capaldi was as a doctor it would've had Peter playing Metallica like Eddie in Stranger Things Season 4 or something, idk why but i see that happening for some reason

The fact I watch Disparu reviews rather than the show itself.
Same! I refuse to give this trash show any extra viewing.
I've been watching him since She Hulk (except for Willow; not my circus...) and I've _never_ seen him floored by stupid so hard that he just reclines all the way back in his chair.
This is all i can stand to watch when it comes Doctor Who or anything Star Wars including that Wokeolyte which doesn’t even give a f-ck about its own fans at this point.
@@draketheduelistThe Willow reviews were hilarious.
I agree. Less disappointing this way. He's more consistent, goes into detail about context, more entertaining/humorous, doesn't get self-sabotaging entertainment from antagonizing fans, etc.

I can't believe the legendary Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith, were referred to as people who "just travelled in the TARDIS"! This is the same Sarah Jane Smith, who RTD brought back in Series 2, for an emotional reunion, and who went on to star in her own TV series! 😠
Dude never loved the series, I'm telling you.
I used to think it was sad that so many Doctor Who actors had died relatively young, but now I think that they were being spared. It's going to be hard to make a living on convention money, these days.

And a black off
Yes and both lost.
RTD seems like one angry dude. His self loathing is palpable and he takes it out on the world, in the name of righteousness.
This season of television has me questioning if RTD was ever a good writer, or if we all just ✨believed✨he was a good writer the whole time. 🤔
I didn't.
Neither did Chris Eccleston.
No, his old episodes ARE good. They have all the elements this current season lacks. His old episodes aren't perfect. There are many flaws that he retained when writing this current season and even amplified, but those old episodes are totally rewatchable in a way that the current episodes are not.
@@SimonMoon5 > but those old episodes are totally rewatchable in a way that the current episodes are not
... mmm, maybe not so much anymore.
It was moffat that probably needed to be brought back not RTD. I think moffat was the better writer all along. He wrote a couple of the better episodes during the first couple seasons of new-who before he became show runner.
@@upstatelee18 And then he helped turn the show into complete trash. And he had to steal huge things from the between-series books. Moffat and RTD need to be held underwater until half-an-hour after the bubbles stop.
Can we stop referring to RTD as a writer? Because a 2-year old has had more creative accidents in their pants than this.
It's so sad, this was promised to be a fantastic new version of Doctor Who one that will crack the U.S. and wow legions of new fans but because of some of the acting and most of the writing it's not going to keep older fans invested.
@@markgrehan3726 Who told you that? Did you get some special message from Russ , the BBC or Disney? The message I and everyone else got was "Screw you and the horse you rode in on!". Message delivered and carried out.
True. After this fact even his first run seasons stink… I was just showing my mate Doctor Who for the first time, and the amount of times he just paused and laughed about bad writing…. Made me really embarrassed for hyping it up do much. It seems apart from a few happy accidents, and Actors who carried the show… the writing has always been worst than a highschool grade.
ChatGPT would do a better job.
@@markgrehan3726 Americans aren't going to like this either. I have always had the strongest impression that they have loved Who for its essential Britishness, and even the most diehard *actual* fan can see this is "Disney Who". The fact that RTD wrote this for American markets and dumbed it right down to this degree shows more about his personal views of Americans than actual reality. He should have written it for people who don't want to be talked down to, who are tired of being preached at, and who want to see wit and intelligence - because that is what will stand out on an American network today.
This whole season really does feel like RTD punishing fans for wanting him to return at all.
Every story seems full of spite, malice, and anger.
He truly is the Spiteful One.

Apparently while being dragged by the TARDIS Sutekh was so dumbfounded at the silliness of the plot that he completely forgot that he can in fact kill somebody or posses them and control them like a puppet with a mere glance and a flash of his eyes.
That's what he gets for watching the last few seasons of Game of Thrones. He just kinda forgot.
Well, he WAS, after all, an Evil CGI Horse.
Or that something with the power of Sutekh could have, oh I don't know, cut the cord.
@@troffle He just didn't have the technology. I mean it's a cord that's used to secure a load to a trailer, how could his giant intellect possibly comprehend that?
@@SuperLloyd84 jesuswept the picture you draw of the levels of intelligence of these writers, that just hurts. This show used to have a mandate of intelligent writing for the audience. We're doomed.
Let's also point out, it came from his silly "remembered" TARDIS. When have we ever seen that thing before?
All the identity agendas aside, this was legitimately one of the worst episodes of anything I've ever seen.
Season One, Episode Eight was excellent, I loved the bit where Ian got inside the dalek and they were able to escape in time to warn the Thals about the ambush.
Amazing. They really did the "Oh, you're special because we believed in you! All the other people across history that are insignificant? Nobody has ever believed in them enough. Not cult leaders, or kings, or loved ones. Nobody cared about anyone the way you were mildly interested in your mom's backstory!" I really hoped we were past that shitty ass trope.
This is so typical of modern PC story writing... Lazy tropes masquerading as profundity.
The only way this series could've been redeemed is this: when Ruby turns around at the end, she turns around with a revolver and shoots him so he can regenerate into someone that doesn't cry like a beech 3 times per episode on average.
That would have been the perfect ending... Unless the next one is somehow even WORSE. Because that's something BBC would do...
That'd be hilarious.
Sob sob! Boohoo!
Crying in the middle of the worst time possible.

Oh they did not try to make the Doctor leaving Susan into a horrible thing that he shouldn't have done. Context is very important on that one. He left her behind because she fell in love with a man, and The Doctor knew that she wouldn't be able to bring herself to leave him in order to be with the man she loved. The Doctor left her behind so she could live a happy life with him, and probably also to help humanity rebuild, after the Dalek occupation of Earth was thwarted. it probably hurt him way more than her to do that, but he knew it was what was best for Susan. Also, he promised that one day he would come back and see her. The Doctor is being chastised by RTD for the crime of wanting to give his granddaughter the chance to have a family of her own, and live a normal life.
To be fair:
a) he's been busy
b) the first Doctor and Susan met again in "The Five Doctors". And then she got to meet the Fifth Doctor.
c) according to the Audios, the Eighth Doctor did indeed go back to see her.
But I'm super sure facts just get in RTD's and the modern fans's way.
Reminds me of The Doctor Dances, talking to the doctor in the hospital “When this war (WWII) began, I was a father and a grandfather. Now, I am neither, but I am still a doctor.” At the time, I didn’t know any Classic Who, so I didn’t know about Susan, but the power of that scene was that you KNEW the 9th Doctor was connecting with him on a visceral level and therefore he must have lost both children and grandchildren in the Time War (I’m honestly still unclear if Susan lived out her life(s) with her husband on Earth or if she joined Gallifrey in the Time War).
Mind you, it reminds me because the writing used to be GOOD and it used to complement what came before, and now it’s just… whatever the hell this is.
Before, you felt that the Doctor was running away from past mistakes because, like all creatures in this fallen universe, he is fallible, but as a “higher being” his mistakes have vastly greater consequences. Now, you feel like the writers are bashing the character for perceived character flaws before *they* - perfect beings that they are - controlled him. It’s enough to make me yack up my oatmeal.
@@StarWarsomania Yes I loved that scene! I'm not very familiar with the Big Finish audiobooks, or other spin off stuff, but I always took that scene to mean that she had been killed as a result of the Time War. She may not have wanted to join up with Gallifrey, but I could easily see a scenario where the Daleks found out that The Doctor's granddaughter was on Earth, and sent a force out to exterminate her, as a way to hurt The Doctor. Maybe that was part of what pushed him to join in the war in the first place.
@@StarWarsomania his claim to being a father is tenuous, unless you count Jenny.
In the post-classic books the Time Lords were sterile and instituted regeneration to continue the species until they built machines to remix base genetics to grow new Gallifreyans. And Susan was originally in pre-Time Lord history, the Hand of Omega kicked the TARDIS into Gallifrey's forbidden past for the Doctor to find Susan.
But now, just like Star Wars with Disney, they threw out the books until they needed to cherry pick something decent to resurrect, steal and degrade like Thrawn.
The book depicting all that history is called "Lungbarrow".
Soooo.....everyone on earth died, including David Tennant's Doctor?
When he's brought back to life does that fire the regeneration process, and if so is there another split Doctor on earth now?
And what happened to D.T's TARDIS?
Jeebus. ...
When I first theorised Sutekh returning (yes it was that easy to guess!), I thought 'great, finally a chance for this series to do well' but the truth of the matter is that they BUTCHERED him! That final episode basically destroyed EVERYTHING left of the Dr Who canon by somehow suggesting Sutekh was MAGICALLY on top of the TARDIS _the entire_ time - yes even when the Daleks and other big threats and unique stuff happening, Sutekh didnt pop out to finally kill the Doctor or aid the baddies. SO DUMB! And Susan Twist is nobody! And Ruby is just a 'normal' girl? But then how does she see the snowing thing? Why would Sutekh be interested in her and not Clara Oswald for example?
Honestly, the answer is easy. Like so many other franchises the writers want to use magic as the answer. They don't want to put effort in being consistent or logical, so they just make stuff up. Any inconsistencies can be waved away as "because magic. Why Stekh didn't acted before, because magic. Why Susan have snow powers, because magic.
@@juan0808 Agreed, and this is the laziest form of writing that there is.
@@juan0808 That is the worst thing about incompetent/lazy people writing fantasy or scifi. They think that, because the rules aren't the same as reality, there are no rules. But it doesn't work that way. In order for a scifi or fantasy story to be good, there have to be rules. The difference is that you write the rules and then you have to stick to them. In this case, there were rules already in place and RTD decided to break those rules, thinking that it didn't matter, but for a Doctor Who story to be good, it can't break the rules in the past. The only real exception I can think of off the top of my head is the sonic screwdriver which became a bit overpowered. However, even there, there is one rule. It doesn't work on wood. That stays consistent for whatever reason.
Personally I would've had the Trickster be the shadowy figure that dropped Ruby off at the church. The trickster lives in a plane the tardis never visited, so the trickster is safe and because he's the parent of Ruby. The dust would never killed her, and the reason why that moment is so important and keeps changing is because that's what the trickster does. They set up that moment to be a choice that the doctor would have to make. The doctors choice with ruby , and the reason why the Trickster did this in the first place. Is because when Sutekh brought death to existence, then there was no more chaos.
Never mind. At least you still have the acolyte.
I can't wait for RTD to write a person with a walker, that turns into a Gatling gun. A person with crutches that turn into katanas. Or a mobility scooter with a cannon.
Did they already do that last one sorta with the agent lady in a wheel chair that fires rockets
I personally want a walker that turned into a Gatlin gun now that I read it.

Problems with ruby’s mom being normal average person:
- Snow and music?
- What did maestro mean when he said there was something wrong with her?
- Why was the mom “beyond a glitch and shadowed”
- Why did the memory of the doctor regarding the mom change?
- The time window required the power of Europe to power up and was broken, it turned on magically when ruby walked in and then stayed on throughout the whole episode?!?!!
- Why was the time window answering the questions?
General plot holes:
- why did the doctor need to get a spoon when the planets were left intact in 2046 there was load of metal just no people?
- so the doctors entire plan was based on the tardis not being moved/rotated?
- if the doctor,Mel and Ruby were the last people alive in the universe why did sutekh care about the mom if she was already dead?
- if a new Susan is created 73 yards away from tardis when the doctor lands somewhere then how can the mom of a character be a Susan?!?!
- how does death to death bring life? Doesn’t really make much sense.
- why was that random woman alive? Why did the doctor land there?
These are some I noticed after first watching, if I rewatch I’d probably find a few more.
Also, Just rembered didn’t in boom the ambulance was unable to say who the mother was? Wouldn’t it know cuz of the dna test??? Might need to rewatch boom.
Also on the “bringing death to death brings life” shite, how come everybody is coming back to life while Sutekh is being dragged through the time vortex, and is still very much alive!
Their mentality is, don't think ,just consume product and get excited for next product!
How did the DNA records exist in 2046 when everyone died years before the samples would have been taken?
Good summary! I too wrote my own list of problems with the episode, and it has many different points to both you and the video. Basically, every single line of this hour-long episode is a problem. It's one big steaming pile.

I do love the reaction to Ruby's mom's identity. Even the defenders are mad.
Man... When I thought the twist was gonna be... that the mom was Susan who was persued by Daleks, or had been found by the Timelords that wanted to draft her for the time wars, or something so she HAD to quickly drop her baby. And I thought that would be incredibly lazy and obvious writing and yet somehow... the actual writing is WORSE than what I feared.... Good job.
Stop letting Soap Opera and Sitcom Writers write Science Fiction and Fantasy. They clearly lack the intelligence to do so competently.

Foundation was a beautifully crafted Series (with a few flaws). For the Season Finale the Showrunner destroyed Terminus, the home of the Foundation. That does not happen in the books and destroys the story entirely. But, hey, the Showrunner said he wanted a Big Bang Finale.
@@joso7228 It was absolutely not. Foundation was utter offensive trash that spits on absolutely everything Asimov ever cared about.
Asimov wrote over 300 books and had a PhD. Psychohistory was originally developed by a team of over 50 mathematicians.
Insane things like a perpetually cloned emperor or a psychic girl would have completely messed up psychohistory. Said psychic girl who ought to have been executed on her own planet for dabbling in forbidden arts worked out psychohistory? So would the mind-reading technology at the entry ports. So would the "Vault"'s quantum-build-new-body technology. If the Star Bridge was so crucial, why was there only one and why was it not rebuilt after thirty years?

And a book Hardin who said "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent", to the TV version who said "I'm gonna go see what violence we can muster".
And spaceships that have clear windows into outer space, but instead of closing the windows, FORCE YOU TO GO TO SLEEP BEFORE HYPERSPACE JUMPING.
If you think the "Foundation" series was beautifully crafted... deargods AND YOU DO KNOW THE BOOKS?
You have committed the kind of sin Asimov the atheist would have condemned you for. The series wasn't just utter trash from start to finish, it wasn't just an attack on the intelligence of the audience, it was an utter sin against absolutely everything both the Foundation and Asimov stood for. The problem with the Empire was the decay of the galaxy thanks to human nature and stupidity; and this show WAS ITSELF AN EXAMPLE OF HUMAN NATURE AND STUPIDITY.

I imagine RTD would say something like "underage pregnancy is a reality and happens all the time in the real-world, so we feel it's important to reflect that." Not understanding that just because something _does_ happen in the real world, doesn't mean it _should,_ and all he's actually doing is normalising it...

Congratulations, you ARE as the same evil as the thing you were trying to criticise.
Hey, let's go with a Tolkien quote.
"I wish you’d take his Ring. You’d put things to rights. You’d stop them digging up the Gaffer and turning him adrift. You’d make some folk pay for their dirty work.’
‘I would,’ she said. ‘That is how it would begin. But it would not stop with that, alas! We will not speak more of it. Let us go!’
... that was Galadriel in "Fellowship Of The Ring" wisely refusing to take the Ring because she knew how it would go.
... do you know who you are?
You're the five-second-flash of evil-Movie-Galadriel who would've taken the Ring. Congratulations. You are the evil you failed to be smart enough to criticise.
RTD: So we changed the sonic because it shouldn't look like a gun, not a good thing to market to kids. ALSO RTD: Has 13 year old kid with machine gun in wheelchair, blasting away.
Remember RTD had 13's costume regenerate to 14's costume because he didn't want the Doctor in "drag" , then hired a Drag Queen and put the doctor in a skirt.
Even dumber, it was his revival series that made th Sonic Screwdriver to be used in this way. The Classic Series the Screwdriver mainly was used for opening locks or panels, occasionally to use a sonic pulse to set of a mine or something (and it had to be done in a very specific way). RTD and co started useing it as a cure all for every problem
Not to mention two 15 year olds having a kid
@@sayLeotardbutsayitChinese This is just the world he sees as normal, I guess.
@sayLeotardbutsayitChinese Love has no age don't you know?
The classic Pyramid of Mars was far superior. This offered nothing new.
It almost seems he went out of his way to pervert the original.
The reveal of Ruby's mother confirms what I've suspected all along - RTD has only returned to Doctor Who to troll the fans. I don't know if he's been taking flack over the years, but he's clearly bitter to the point of using the show he supposedly loves to get back at the fans. Even putting aside all the identity politics which is typical BBC/Disney (although Moffat's episode seemed able to avoid it), we have:
1. You felt Ruby's mother was special? Ah! You're seeing patterns that aren't there! Typical fanboy!
2. You expect the Doctor to be asexual? Ah! Forget it! He's actually a predator!
3. You want explanations for 73 Yards, Ruby's snow and how Sutekh could hide in the TARDIS even when it's been blown up? Hahaha!
4. Did I saying this would be the biggest and best finale ever? Ah! I meant to say I'm going to destroy a classic character by making it look like a CGI dog and kill it by dragging it on it's lead, and then have 15 minutes of Eastenders, which is the show I REALLY love!
5. You didn't notice there weren't any black characters in Dot and Bubble? Ah! You're racist!! Hahahaha!
6. You want sci-fi in your sci-fi show? Ah! How about musical numbers, dance routines and Bridgerton! Hahaha!
7. You thought the best episodes of my previous run where written by other writers? Ah! Well I'm writing them all now! (except for allowing my mate Moffat to write a couple - oh, and to force those Marvel writers who didn't make their show gay enough to make amends as a sort of grovelling apology to me personally!). Hahaha!
8. You want scary monsters? Hahahaha! Grow up - have a literal boogeyman you bunch of space babies! Lol!
9. Did you say Davros was one of the few classic villains that Nu Who has done justice to? Ha! Hold my beer!
10. You want to know who the Anita Dobson character is? Ah! I'm going to make you wait at least a full year, and then it still won't make any sense that she's lived next to Ruby all this time! HAHAHAHAHA!
@@hicmad Like 15 years? 150?
I definitely think there’s some truth in this. He hates the long term and loyal fans that’s for sure.
I just realized:
Did Russel steal the idea of going back in time to meet the mother who left the protagonist at an orphanage from “meet the Robinsons”?
Because it’s almost the same: the mother is in a hooded cloak and the time traveler rings the bell, because he scares of the mother before she can. The only difference is, that in meet the Robinsons it’s raining instead of snowing which makes it way less likely that the infant would have frozen to death
This just made me want to re-watch Red Dwarf. "Everybody's dead, Dave!"
Red Dwarf was epic 👌
Yep, the more I learn about new shows, I wanna try to rewatch the old ones. especially since I only watched it as little kid.
Red Dwarf sure might have aged no that well, but it still seems better than whatever we have now.
@@cola98765 It's aged very well. I've seen it a ton of times. Watching it with my son now and he loves it too.
Imagine if they did this to 'Red Dwarf'
I shudder at the thought. I think as long as Doug Naylor is around, it won't be "modernized", but after that, who knows?
Fun fact: apparently; RTD took inspiration from The Last Jedi for the reveal of Ruby's parents.
That makes way too much sense
But got bored and didn't see to the end so missed the whole "What wait SHE IS SPECIAL THEN" part.
@@markgrehan3726 Even then, Disney doesn't want us to think that she's special because she's the child of a non Force sensitive Palpatine clone or because she appropriated the name Skywalker in the end. She just IS special, just because of course she is. She just is the most Forciest Forcer that ever Forced, because yaAaaAASssSSS sLaY qUeEn.
Ugh, I actually wrote that crap at the end of that...
@@markgrehan3726 The fact he took inspiration from that film at all is damaging enough.
The twist is; there is no twist. It’s not clever, it’s just wasting time on a pointless mystery, when we could be developing the character in the present.
"This is just ass!"
Russel T. Davies and Ncuti Gatwa define themselves thus.
Nobody stays dead any more in Doctor Who. So, there are no emotional stakes.
No one can even die in the Whoniverse to begin with.
Every living thing is now immortal...The Dr. killed death. Nothing can ever die again.
Admittedly, this has been a problem with Doctor Who for a long time, and is especially pronounced for Nu Who. I remember Eccleston accidentally unleashing a gateway that flooded Earth with a battalion of Daleks because he thought it was a signal from Gallifrey, but later in the same 45 minute episode managed to pull some sonic screwdriver shenanigans to suck every Dalek back in the gateway with minimal human casualties. There's no point in most Nu Who storylines to care about major events and setpieces because they are just... ludicrous and no matter how high the stakes were, they were overcome with ridiculous ease and with little cost.
Compared to some of the major events from classic Doctor Who. The Hartnell era 12 episode epic "The Dalek Master Plan" (13 if you count "Mission to the Unknown", although 2 episodes basically don't relate to anything because of the Christmas lead up and 2 involve a rematch with the Meddling Monk) is one of the biggest examples of where the stakes are high and, although the Doctor triumphs, the price of victory is not cheap. The War Games (Patrick Troughton's finale) is also interesting because it's another example of the Doctor facing a renegade Time Lord, except the renegade has aligned himself with Steve Jobs and ultimately the Doctor realises that Time Lord intervention is required, knowing full well that the Time Lords view him as a renegade.
That's why them destroying the Donna arc in the Christmas special finally broke the show for me.
@@DeadlyPlatypus He also killed morality.
That was a plot point in the last grwat time war, butheres the thing, there it was a bad thing, it was an indication that TIME ITSELF was being so distorted by these two godly factions that death became just a word, people would die, then come back only to die right after and rinse and repeat, but here? This is just lame and stupid
That leash time vortex stretch literally leaves me speechless. Dr. Who has been pretty awful for years but this is literally mind numbingly stupid. I was operating under the impression that RTD was at least a competent writer, just hopelessly lost to activism, but that leash BS has shattered that illusion for me.
For someone so old you would think the doctor would be able to control his emotions especially for trivial things we saw this season
Now we know how many regenerations it takes for senility to set in?
No one seems to mention how the "Doctor" uses his sonic screwdriver about 5 times in the whole series (If that). He also does not use his intelligence to overcome any issues. He seems incompetent and only the people around him make a "difference".
Well, he did change a CRT TV from the 90s into a Tablet with the Sonic Screwdriver. Somehow. Just Consume Product, don't ask questions.
The incredible part is that TV's were box shaped for a reason, i.e. they needed a cone-shaped screen to work.
The artifice was making the Cone-Shape look less odd. If you look at the 2005 iMac 'teardrop' shape, that's functionally why. Putting an iPod inside a shoe is possible, but you'd have to functionally assert a reason for it.
When they changed from CRT to LCD, suddenly you could get flat-screen devices.
The Cathode ray relies on a cone-shaped projection to shoot electrons at a screen/material layer, using a controlled magnetic coil to fire in scanned lines. How this works when you flatten the process is infinitely odd, because it still needs a reflector or coil to aim the beam(s).
It's a vastly different kind of technology to the LCD or matrix screen, which has a field of crystals that change state based on voltage.
I sort of get what they're trying to achieve, but it's a bizarre method to attach a Tablet to a computer when you could just have WiFi and make it work. 2046 and 2026, most tech should work. Just like 2006 and 2026. You can't really guarantee an iPhone 6 will work, unless they make 5/6/7G backward compatible, or they make concessions for older devices. IDK.
@@Toliman. What you wrote here is 100% more intelligent than anything this "Doctor" has done or said in all these episodes.
I think that's the point. How do you destroy a culture? First you destroy their heroes. When kids have no role models to learn from they become weak and easy to manipulate.
A character, or characters, are only as intelligent as the people writing them. As for the magic wand, I mean, sonic screwdriver, it's SERIOUSLY OVERUSED. Just look at any promo poster or cover of Dr Who since Harry Potter, think about John Hurt's War Doctor giving shit to the knob-end doctors brandishing it like it's a weapon ("It's a screwdriver, what are you going to do? Assemble a cabinet at them???"). Ffs.
Patrick Troughton, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and even Paul McGann use the sonic SPARINGLY. The only other Doctor that used it quite often was Jon Pertwee and even then it wasn't EVERY EPISODE.
@@PhialSubstance Yes, but WHAT'S THE POINT? What is the POINT of doing a destruction this hideous and miserable?
The weirdest thing about all the shows going woke is the timing. This is why people believe there are higher ups giving the government and entertainment industry their marching orders. It’s like someone flipped a switch and this is our life now.
It’s interesting to think about. How is western culture made? Is it top down or bottom up?
I almost never comment, or reply to comments, but this is on point.
They're following orders, no other explanation.
"We've got to force behaviors" - Larry Fink
in the 1970's in the uk tv programs like "love thy neighbour" were created to make people more accepting of immigrants. the white man was shown to be a bigot and the black man to be reasonable and good company. this is just the current year ham fisted attempt.
And paying for it through Blackrock
It seems life after 2015 (or perhaps 2019) the 🌎 REALLY entered a pervasive woke era @an aggresive pace. Academia, politics, policies, social media censorship, rising crime, gov't going after farmers, increase in mental illness, openly gr***ing children, intense gaslighting by media, exposure of corruption. It's like forces of darkness decided to come out from the sewers & let everyone in the daytime know that they've always been the ones behind the scenes.
It’s amazing how one clip on the show can make me say “Gosh, Pyramids of Mars was a good episode. I think I’ll go watch that one again.”
I had a laugh while noticing the BBC had been showing clips from Pyramids of Mars lately to 'hype people up' for Empire of Death. I was like, not probably something you wanna be doing, reminding viewers that there's a better older episode they could be watching or re-watching instead, lol
Just imagine the Tom Baker era of Doctor Who, with this budget! Tom Baker would have smashed it 💥
They did a much better job with much less money. Chances are if the had a lot more money it might not have been as great as it was because they wouldn'0t have thought things through as much
Sutekh really is weird. Powerful enough to survive the universe ending and restarting attached to an exploding tardis, but weak enough that he can't resist being pulled along by two people who weigh half of what he probably does
"We all have our time-machines, don't we? Those that take us back are memories...and those that carry us forward...are dreams." - much better quote from a much better time-machine story.
Did Sutekh have a Rubik's Cube. He must have been bored shitless hanging around all those years. I wonder if he killed random stuff on the way just to keep his hand in?
He probably just napped. He had every opportunity to screw the Doctor but just kind of didn’t bother.
How do you think he reached his ultimate evolution?
Only someone who's mastered the 100x100x100 cube can reach such an enlightened state that he can't recognize an average teenager.
He was easily yanked by Ncuti becuse he skipped leg day since the 70's
For the record, Sutekh wasn't the god of death, that was Anubis. As was the jackal's head. Sutekh also wasn't the god of dust, that was his father Geb.
@troffle In the case of RTD's mess I don't think it really matters TBH. Appreciate the clarification though.

OK, but we have to admit that unit just breaking out the firearms and shooting at the space aliens is kind of a meme.
I remember the Easter special, where the look of just joy and rapture on the face of one of the unit soldiers when he said bullets work on them, it was it was fun.
Why didn't they make Clara " The impossible girl" be her mother ? Make sense as she travelled with every Dr. Manipulating all their stories.
Consider how similar Millie and Jenna look that would have been a brilliant idea - but I'd rather Clara not be connected to this. Bad enough they dragged Mel and Sarah Jane into this.
Jenna is having a baby.. my favorite companion.
Also, she's supposed to be unalive now and wouldn't have the metabolic processes anymore.
Well now they live in a universe where the Earth can be destroyed a thousand paradoxical times in the past and dust can travel through space to destroy suns so what the damn hell.
They’re not touching my girl because what is this 😭
I’ve never seen a single episode of Dr who yet have watched all of your reviews immediately lol
Try 'The Eleventh Hour'
She was pointing at a lamppost naming you is the stupidest thing i have ever heard. no one else was there at the time to she her point.
or whose benefit? She was alone, right?
she was probably just remembering the name of the Road so she could be bothered to come back later... maybe.
@@mikeweber3685 That's something a 4 year old would do. Point at interesting t´hings they see even though no one is around. A grown woman doing that is indication of severe developmental delays and cognitive impairment.
And why would she be so bothered about naming the baby she has literally just left to die on the stone Cold steps of a church in the freezing cold of December at midnight. This mentally deficient 15 year old could have dropped the baby off at a hospital the police station in a store at a friend in her school in fact a million other places rather than a friggin church. And then she wears a weird cape and starts behaving strangely pointing at the road sign because the name of her baby must be Ruby for some peculiar reason. Why????
Did nobody at all in the production team say to Russell T Davies mate this makes no fucking sense what are you doing? I suspect everybody is scared of him and wouldn't there question him and that's why these ridiculous scripts have got through this season they are awful
Wasn't the lamp post with the street sign also behind the TARDIS at the time in the Window? And previously there wasn't any turning and naming, so what the?
Thank you for suffering through this whole season & at least making entertaining content by reviewing the episodes! I will keep my doctor's in my heart & rewatch those episodes on Blu-ray.
Remember, child labor is fine as long as they've got genius level intellect that we can use.
Plot twist if a) RTD had a brain and b) UNIT scientific advisors had a lifespan of more than two episodes: the kid is funnelling off technology and money to become the next insanely powered supervillain.
... I just want to know where the anti-TARDIS forcefield of the archives and the Time Window CAME from. Silly me, thinking Davies had a complete enough worldview to not ask such questions.
So.... Ruby wants to find her mother....
Life is wiped out everywhere but somehow her mother records her DNA (somehow) in 2046.
They get the name / identify of the woman.
Then they reminisce about her.
She is still alive....... go find her.
Also...Dr. the reverse of the reverse is true..... Death deleting Death brings Life....... that cannot die.
I watched the Hartnell Doctor 1st run and 1st hand (yeah, I'm that old), and every season that followed...until the end of Capaldi's run. The disrespect they are showing the show and the canon makes one weep.
I'm that old too. It seems there are no consequences anymore. They don't care how much money they spend, or how many people watch. It's just a propaganda machine that is a public service they are happy to produce.
Thats amazing! Did you watch and remember some of the episodes that are now essentially lost to time?
@@stevenedwards8353 I have some flashes of the Hartnell years, but there was one Troughton episode when two guys opened their mouths and released some sort of gas - I know it sounds stupid - but the way it was done scared little me behind the sofa. Wish I could go back and pay waay closer attention. I've re-seen most all of it that still is.
Pat Troughton for me. Now, I know how Star Wars fans feel after Chibnall and this
To summarize the season
RTD: "OOOOH Look at this Mystery box! It has Ruby's mother inside isn't it so amazing?!"
Audience: "K..."
RTD: "... but BUT that's not all! It can make it snow and DODGE THE GOD OF DEATH!"
Audience: "Alright... so this must be important then?"
RTD: *Proceeds to open box* "IT WAS NOTHING! Haha! Tricked you! It was only important because YOU made it important! HAHAHAHA"
Audience: "... what?"
The real twist is that RTD is just a brain damaged version of JJ Abrams. At least JJ remembered to PUT something in the box, even if it was stupid.
Good question......... for another time!
(Refuses to elaborate)

My new favourite channel. These Dr Who and Acolyte reviews make my week.
If you think the mother reveal itself was terrible enough as it was, apparently RTD was inspired by the "ordinary parent/s" twist from Star Wars: The Last Jedi, because apparently Ruby Sunday is Rey to him.

Why does everyone keep going on about Star Wars?

@@MoskHotel It's probably easier than to have his own ideas
Yeah, but Rey was special because her Mum was a fricking Palpatine and so strong in the Force, unlike Ruby's Mum who apparently is as ordinary as dirt.

I can't decide which is worse "bringing death to death to bring life" or "the power of one, the power of two, the power of many". I was curious how this "doctor" would defeat Sutekh given he hasnt done anything in the whole show except cry a bit here and there and yell.

Really sums up the writing of this show now
I think what I hate most is that any other modern doctor, ANY OTHER MODERN DOCTOR, would've been so incredibly angry and revengeful if earth or one of their companions died. And here's 15, crying, screaming, defeated. He doesn't do anything. He's just sad, a poor victim all the time. Like, dude! Where is the anger?! Where is the action!?
seriously...
Thanks for taking one for the team... I was never gotten this far if it was not for you.
10:20 compare this "remembering the TARDIS back into existence" to Amy Pond on her wedding day. "Raggedy man, I remember you! And you are LATE FOR MY WEDDING! Something old, something new, something borrowed,....something BLUE"
Have to say with Matt Smiths first season.
Lots of stuff didn't make technical sense. I mean Rory dying... and then he was a mechanical centurian somehow... And then the Doctor Rebooted the entire universe... Somehow... and Rory is back to life and a normal human... Somehow... And Amy and Rory now remembers a timeline that no longer exists cause it was rebooted... Somehow.
This all technically doesn't make sense.
BUT! The attachment to the characters was GREAT! The emotional impact, the emotional satisfaction was absolutely one hundred percent there.
And you can get away with this, if you have the emotional satisfaction. Which Matt Smith season 1 DID.
And this obviously did not...
I cared about Amy, I cared about Rory, I cared about the Doctor. I was attached to the Doctors' willpower, and how he had to stand up to fix this not showing any fear or doubt.
To Rory's loyalty that never faltered and I got to see it.
To Amy's perseverance that she would not give up.
We SAW them all being exceptional and acting it, so I could be impressed by them, feel attached, and be happy when they got a happy ending! They EARNED it and my emotional satisfaction!
You care about the characters so much that you almost don't care that it doesn't make much sense
That is pretty much how it works.
I found Amy, Rory and River extremely dislikable and so I forgave nothing. Which isn’t saying that I thought the actors were bad at their jobs, because they were all doing a good job of playing what the scripts asked for
Moffat was a messy writer so he absolutely relies on fans liking his lead characters.
@@MoonPhantom100% spot on.

On serious note, if she ran DNA test father's name would appear just the same as mother's. So she probably knows who her father is. Just won't mention him ever again. Like Amandla Stenberg.
