"There is a kangaroo, and the kangaroo had a grenade, and the grenade is the woman, and the woman is a bomb"
God, we really are going to miss you, that was gold 😂😂😂
In all serious, could you imagine how terrifying it would be if they sent 14th to go talk to the woman and he ran for the hills?
Oh god, I am now imagining a version where he runs straight to the Tardis and then leaves Ruby and that could be much darker than just vanishing. (obviously can't do that with the other Eps this season drawing attention to him getting scared so it would be repetitive)
14th?
You mean 15th?
He means 14th. Davids second version who is living with Donna.
Went from an A24 film in the front half to a Black Mirror episode in the second half.
My thoughts on this episode.
The Fairy Ring the Doctor breaks causes the Doctor to vanish (it's in folklore, entering one would transport you to the realm of the fairies and you'd never been seen again), that's old magic/power, but Ruby interferes as well with it, causing it to effect her.
However, something powerful was present at Ruby's birth, so there's whatever power tied into her that's trying to counteract the Fairy Ring's power, hence The Woman throughout her life, the moment Ruby dies of old age the power with her triggers a time loop, thus giving Ruby the chance to prevent this paradox from ever existing.
Maybe. My reading is that the Doctor broke it, and was punished by being 'removed'. Ruby was tasked/cursed with fixing the circle by completing the loop, which is what she did.
Some really interesting things in this episode. Ruby noticing Susan Twist was pretty cool but also seemingly was an event that didnt happen now but at least we the audience know they can potentially tell shes the same person. Additionally Ruby aged and didnt age into Susan Twist either so we can mark "She's future Ruby" off the Pepe Silvia board!
It didn’t happen but she still remembers it so she would remember that she had that encounter.
@@itsalexney Ummm kinda making some assumptions there bud! She just said "Ohh my 3rd time must be right now" its not like she said "Le gasp I remember everything Gee wilikers"
Man, this felt less like an episode of Doctor Who and more like the BBC somehow broadcasted an indie horror film from a universe where M Night Shyamalan was Welsh.
I did really like it though. I'm gonna have to rewatch it.
Adored this one. That makes 3 certified bangers in a row.
I love the idea that The Woman is Ruby’s internalized fear of abandonment- the primary “logic” to everybody leaving, Doctor included, is that it’s Ruby’s fear of what will happen it’s the deeply ingrained worry that she’s doomed to be left behind and semperdistans from everyone forever.
Don't worry about piecing it together. It was meant to be one of those horror stories that doesn't give you the info so you're just unsettled forever cos you haven't solved it and always questioning “Why?”
Of course, later Eps may recontextualise it when they explain Ruby’s mystery by the season's end
Why does it matter WHY its 73 yards? This is By far my favorite episode this season and one of my favorite of all time and I absolutely do not want them to EVER explain how this works.
"This timeline might be suspended along your event."
Ironically, as this was Millie's first episode filmed: No, she had *not* seen Susan Twist before...
You left out the part where Ruby saves The Doctor from stepping on the fairy ring! That was the point of the whole curse!!!
Exactly, supernatural and fairy tale stuff is real now.
Honestly the best episode in 15 years. I was about to stop watching, however this episode has increased my interest again. What an outstanding episode! The character development of Ruby has been absolutely fantastic.....she is rapidly becoming my favourite. WOW.
I dont know about the hand gestures and why exactly 73 yards, but i do have other theories.
Where did the doctor go: he was the one who broke the fairy circle, so maybe his disappearance was a type of punishment. And why didnt Ruby disappear? She was the one who took the scroll about Mad Jack and read it, so taking down the PM had become her mission alone, although she didnt know it yet.
Why did the woman make everyone hate Ruby: I feel like it was a defence mechanism, coz nothing should hamper Ruby's mission of dethroning the PM. If Unit, for example, successfully intervened and captured the woman, Ruby would have never been able to deal with the PM. So, its like: you try to approach her or talk to her, then you are repelled by her and driven away from Ruby, so that Ruby's mission can be completed without impediments or distractions. Nobody tried to approach the woman after Ruby dealt with the PM, so we don't know if this theory holds.
There is no paradox. The episode occured in an alternate timeline. And in that timeline, Ruby stopped the PM. When the timeline is reset in the final scene, Ruby does not live a life where she will stop the PM, so it isnt a paradox. Her original timeline is restored. In the final scene, the doctor again tells Ruby that the PM will "lead the world to the brink of nuclear-". Going by the exact words of the Doctor, the PM will indeed come to power in 2046, but clearly doesn't do any catastrophic damage. He simply acquires the weapons for symbolism.
This entire episode was in an alternate timeline and trying to be all meta coz in this alternate timeline, Doctor Who does not have a title sequence.
It's a deliberately ambiguous narrative which is intended to leave unanswered questions. It's only confusing if you expect it to be straightforward. It needs a second - or possibly even a third - watch in order to grasp the mechanics of it. It's certainly a highlight of the series so far.
My current theory is that jack was locked or trapped within the circle, doctor stepped and broke it essentially swapping places. At that moment it creates a branching timeline somehow, (either because of the doctor vanishing or Ruby's powers, which I think are like memory related?!) right now I have two theories either her powers created this singular loop and it closed after one singular time or she's been stuck in this loop for a while trying to figure out a way to free herself. Maybe the one we see she kept saying go away or something? Maybe that's what old Ruby said to the previous one or whatever, idk. I just love it.
So the circle was broken at the edge of land and sea where the fabric of reality is weak. It moved Ruby into a separate reality, a sort of time loop where Ruby’s beginning and end are connected. As a temporal paradox, future Ruby caused people to go mad somehow when they interacted with her. Perhaps being future Harbinger Ruby, when her full power is realized does that to keep Ruby moving on the timeline? I don’t know why 73 yards exactly either. Anyway, Ruby used her unique relationship with the woman to prevent Mad Jack from escaping the loop into the real world. Then Ruby had to live through the loop until she caught up with herself at the beginning/end of the loop, where she could send herself a message to fix the timeline (make the circle unbroken). It is a weird bootstrap paradox of sorts.
It's the point at which a person with perfect vision can no longer recognize a face.
The woman in the red beret in the pub said The Spiteful One (aka the One Who Waits probably)? Can gain access to the world in places where the laws of time/space/sci-fi physics are suspended aka supernatural stuff like the fair circle
If I had a nickel for Everytime a timey wimey thingie turned Ruby's mom into an awful person who says terrible things I'd have 2 nickel. Which isn't a lot but like get a new thing to happen to Ruby's mom Russell!!
They’re both completely different sets of circumstances that led to a similar result. Not the same thing.
@@itsalexney bud I have loved this show in even some of the crappier times and with gusto if I wanna poke fun at a Lil something it's not a big deal. It's still easy to break down that time traveler shenanigans made Carla say some dreadful things.
I think its a time paradox created because the Doctor accidentally told her a part of her future and she had to fix the paradox but the Doctor couldn't be there because he is a complex, temporal event. That's why the woman is 73 yards. It's the beginning and ending distance of her timeline. It gets closer when she's at the end and the paradox can be fixed because you cannot meet yourself in time but at the end of the timeline that wouldn't matter.
Except she’s still 73 yards away when Ruby is 40
@@LeviPennington-vv2kq Kate explained that it was the distance a person with 20/20 vision can see. She stayed 73 yards while Ruby wore glasses, but when she saw her at the end, without her glasses she was only a few yards away.
Her vision got worse as she aged.
Is she the one who waits?
Certainly the best of this year's lot so far.
I hope that the unanswered questions I have are related to the mystery of who Ruby actually is.
Someone in another reaction said something about, the old Ruby didn't say anything, it was just they saw Ruby and noticed something. But I'm not sure. My question is, WHY, why are they just noticing this now. Especially Karla who has had the better part of 18 years with Ruby. and that Echo, "Don't Step" did make it seem like she was actually saying something but what, and if it was old Ruby, WHY does she want to isolate her younger self. Especially when Karla and Cherry are so intagural parts of her life. AND MY FINAL QUESTION. HOW? How did old Ruby time travel? Was it supernatural, does Ruby have an innate ability she doesn't know of yet? Overall, to me, the concept was interesting but I think. it would have made much more sense if they had played it kind of how they did it in the "god Complex" where it was a creature or entity, playing Ruby's fear. Which is where I THOUGHT the episode was going.
Now, it could be a "Turn Left" scenario where the Bug actually came from the future and and so does whatever they notice on Ruby..... but even that, in this context, I just don't feel like it works.
Also, IF the Doctor was effected, why was the TARDIS not, it just sat there for 80 years....
This was a bottle episode and thats all I will remember it as. A bottle,. throw away episode. I don't want to be harsh, but to me, this was another good example of message vs story "Nuclear War bad." Okay good enough, lets move on.
Consider the bootstrap paradox. You have to have everything happen to you to end up where you do. According to everything I read there are 43 Easter eggs in the episode.
"this is weird as fuck" lol...and yup!
Nu who's ghostlight an incomprehensible mass of what the hell that gets re-evaluated after the show is cancelled.
Well, let's hope that the parallel isn't *that* exact this time.
Not generally a big fan of alternate timeline episodes like this where nobody remembers what happened but maybe it will come back at some point in the future.
Yeah. This episode really needed an epilogue or something.
Yep. the best episode yet.
I really hope you didn't retire on us early. :-P
Seriously, though, I (or really we, I am fairly certain) can't wait for these last 4 reactions. I am certain that they will be epic, as they've always been.
Oooo escape room :) I love doing those. Doing 2 more tomorrow lol
I don’t get it either I was very confused. It was a good episode though
This was cool but it doesn't make any sense. It was a great watch but I wish they explained it better.
I have mixed feelings about this one. Millie was great. I’m not fond of Ncuti and Millie together but boy she really shone in this episode. But what the heck? I hope something ties into this by the end.
Man, I came to see reactions discussing the absolute mind-fuck alternate-timeline-Ruby is going through and everyone is confused about mechanics of the time travel and faerie rings? Like, who cares? Doctor Who has never been the best at explaining or being accurate with the sci-fi bullshit. Now that they're explicitly transitioning into the fantasy/supernatural realm where the rules of belief apply, it's very strange to me to see people focus on the how of it all rather than just take it at face value. How did the lady in black appear? How did they time travel? What could she possibly say to make everyone so scared of Ruby? This is all fun to speculate about but I'd much rather hear people's takes on the girl with abandonment issues being haunted by something so ironic and depressing. Like she can never truly be alone, and anyone who comes too close eventually talks to lady in black and ends up afraid and hating her. She chases one goal that might get rid of her ghost, like maybe there's a purpose to this psychological torture the universe is putting her through but no, that doesn't work. I have feelings about this. Can we talk about Ruby please.
It's one thing to complain about the story not giving you the answers; but quite another to think that the story probably DID give you the answers, but that you're "too stupid" to "get it".
In other words: TB has less of a story criticism problem in this video, and more of a self-criticism problem.
And while unfair criticism of others should often be met with a spirited defence (like yours), unfair criticism of the self should virtually always be met with empathy and at least an attempt at understanding.
Russell really needs someone who isn't a yes man around him to tell him when he's written something rubbish. Everything after the pub scene was almost Chibnall tier bad.
Nah bro.....I was about to give up on Docter Who, however this episide has reinvigorated my interest. I want more of these episodes...absolutely brilliant.
It was good enough, but he's gotta leave timey wimey stuff to Moffat, the end of this episode just fell flat on its ass
This episode has a deep resonance for me, but it captures (extremely well) a particular form of trauma that you might not have. Everything about it, including the lack of explanation and the ending, reinforces the meaning until it won’t let me go. Not a plot driven episode (obviously), but that doesn’t mean it lacks meaning. It’s already forcing me to reconsider some things about my life, and that’s part of what art is for.
@productjoe4069 Yeah that's where I disagree with you. The story does have a plot, and its well written and produced. I now have a new appreciation for Ruby, and RTD has done a great job with Ruby's character development......I now somehow relate to her character, and I like it.
Everything you need to understand what happened was in the episode.
The way I see it. When the Doctor stepped on the ring, it released Mad Jack, but Ruby was there too and she got pulled into an alternative timeline (possibly because of her unknown special backstory/power). Mad Jack didn't get to his full potential until the soul he'd took over grew into an adult hence why Mad Jack didn't appear until he became PM. He was going to rain destruction on the world via nuclear war (a bit like The Omen storyline). He was an evil spirit. She was the fail safe the person who could push him off course. Then she died and was able to alter the course of history by just appearing to herself early. Her reward if you will. It also feels like a bit of a Quantum Leap story, the Doctor knew about the PM in that timeline, but Ruby had to go through this timeline to ultimately put it right. The Welsh PM may still have happened but he was just a great PM now rather than the evil spirit/Son of the Devil kind of creature. I loved this episode this is what I want from Who, not the Space Babies. :D
