After RTD leaves, should there be a female showrunner?.

Now that I've finally gotten around to finishing the latest series, I can give my ranking.

8 - Space Babies - There are worse episodes, but not a lot of them.

7 - The Church on Ruby Road - Not a bad episode but not a very good one either. It's just sort of there.

6 - Rogue - I do love the character Rogue, and the episode has some fun moments, but it's all skin deep... which wouldn't be too bad if it didn't try and be something it wasn't. They tried to put serious stakes and an emotional companion "death" into what should have been a fun lighthearted episode. However, I do hope we'll see Rogue again. And I think we will. We still have that mysterious "boss" to suss out (I'm assuming it will be the same boss that Beep the Meep mentioned).

5 - The Devil's Chord - A bit camp, a bit silly, and a lot of fun. Jinkx goes a bit overboard with their acting choices, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing, as Maestro is a very overboard villain. Also, the reveal that the Beatles are shit was hilarious.

4 - 73 Yards - I was very tired when I watched this and it was very noisy in the house, so maybe I missed something important that made this episode make sense? I just didn't really get it. However, the horror aspect at the beginning was brilliantly done, and the change up to using that horror to defeat an even bigger horror was masterfully done.

3 - The Legend of Ruby Sunday/Empire of Death - Great to have Sutekh back (and still voiced by Gabriel Woolf!), and we got some nice emotional scenes with Ruby. I expected to be more bothered by Ruby's mum being a normal person, but I honestly didn't mind the explanation that she was important because everybody believed it to be so. It still leaves a few plot holes, like the snow and why Sutekh couldn't see who she was, but for the most part, I'm fine with the ending (apart from the pointing at the sign thing, which I thought was ridiculous). Having said all that, I'm not totally convinced it is the end of Ruby's story. We shall see.

2 - Boom! - While I do think this episode overcompensates with drawing out the suspense of the land mine, and it could have done without the romance subplot, it is a great story with a great premise. Capitalism is making an army fight itself because war is profitable. Very believable.

1 - Dot and Bubble - Great social commentary, and I love how Finetime has a real 50s/60s aesthetic which works brilliantly with the whole segregation/racism theme. I also love how the main character of this Doctor-lite story - a role we are familiar with and are used to rooting for - ends up not being a good person. Usually we expect to end an episode - any episode - with at least the hope that the main character will overcome their flaws and become a better person. But any small amount of hope we have for Lindy vanishes when she, for all intents and purposes, murders Ricky to save herself. After that, the rosy tint of narrative expectation lifts, and we see that Lindy - and the whole damn society - is even worse than we feared. She's not going to change, she shows next-to-no remorse, and we are left with a mixture of heartbreak that the people of Finetime would willingly die on their prejudiced hill, and a bitter feeling that they deserve to.

Seriously I can't put my finger on why I like Chibnall Era at times more than RTD or Moffat Eras to me both are unique but feel somewhat the same while The Chibnall Era honestly actually felt different a breath of fresh air, the music is very good from a different composer than Murray Gold, the cinematography actually looks great and looks like how a scifi should look like, even the characters I will say while not great are interesting.

Hello,

A friend today sent us an interesting theory regards the last series.

Doctor Who Theory: The Doctor Is The Pantheon's God Of Life (screenrant.com)

As per usual with these kind of posts, have a read and...what do you guys think?

My aunt got me a bunch of the classic who episodes on DVD because she works at BBC and im so excited to watch all of them

Last night, I happened to watch the 2022 film, Till, a dramatisation of the murder of Emmett Till, and his mother's journey for justice.

I was pleasantly surprised when I spotted non-other than Tosin Cole among the cast, playing real life civil rights activist Edgar Mevers.

I then remembered that this was unintentionally foreshadowed in Rosa ("You know what they did to young Emmett Till. You want that to be you?")

None.

As you know there are 7 Doctors so you guys can choose who will get to be saved for this round and I will post the other rounds tomorrow so this is basically your chance to vote

None.
