#doctor who resolution

[twistingsands]

every time a dalek shows up on doctor who i want to shake a writer. HOW MANY TIMES do we have to go through “omg the most dangerous creature in the universe” and “all the daleks are dead”??? like either stop bringing them back or stop pretending like they’re all dead. and how scary can they be when they’re regularly defeated by one time lord. miss me with this shit. not every companion needs to meet daleks and cybermen i’m SICK OF IT

Not sure how to articulate this because it's going to sound a bit mean/showrunner discoursey, which isn't what I'm going for because I do like RTD and I have enjoyed the previous three eps (Ruby Road, Space Babies, Devil's Chord), but none of them have risen above a 7/10 for me (an RTD 7/10 to be clear, which is very different from the 7/10s I was handing out to some of the Chibnall episodes), and imo Boom just kinda further highlights their flaws in comparison. Part of it is just a style thing - Moffat's writing gels with me more than RTD's does - but it's also a lot more polished imo. Devil's Chord in particular I found extremely messy in a way that I could've forgiven if it had been more fun (and clearly it did work for a lot of people), but the villain fell flat for me, and without them there's just kinda nothing else there. Space Babies charmed me more than I think it did other folks but the cute babies were doing all the heavy lifting. I need more substance and this is the first ep that's delivered imo.

#also while RTD will make the journey very engaging he tends to fumble the resolution to his plots #whereas Moffat will just be like 'the answer was love all along' and somehow I eat it up every time #like wow... the answer was love all along....... #Ranger shut up about Doctor Who #DW spoilers #DW criticism

hey fun fact, when i was an incredibly depressed, desperately suicidal teenager, this scene was one of the things that kept me alive

you know the new season of doctor who is off to a great start when an episode i thought was pretty good comes out, only for fans to proclaim it's singlehandedly killed the franchise, then a week later an episode I'm more lukewarm about has saved all television lol

#maybe need to give boom a rewatch #like the first half hour was great but i just don't think 'and then the power of love saved the day!' is- #-a particularly satisfying resolution to what up until that point was a pretty grounded scifi story #as grounded as 'bomb that turns your quantum structure into an explosive' can be i guess #ending kinda dropped a potentially great episode to just okay for me #(says the guy who thought the fart joke was a good payoff to a previous episode so what does he know lmao) #doctor who #fifteenth doctor

I know it's not entirely the same, but 15 taking Ruby to modern London after it was destroyed to scare her reminds me of when Clara yelled at 12 for scaring her with the whole moon thing

Different episodes and arcs

But it does make me think that different companions would've reacted in different ways to the doctor telling them they're fucked

Like, Ruby eventually recovered, but she did believe 15

I'm sure some past companions would've been pissed at him and been like "this is my world, my life and my planet and you're telling me you've given up?! Wtf!"

15 is way more humbled, specially around all these weird god guys that are popping up. He really doesn't know how to deal with them, so far he's one of the first doctors I've seen not pull out some god complex and time lord victorious his way through a hopeless situation

But it is only ep3 of the season so far, so we'll see how his character evolves. It wouldn't make sense to have him regress backwards, but people are complex. I would like to see him trying to run away less, otherwise each fight/encounter will be "All hope is lost until the doctor gets lucky"

#deus ex machina better not become a thing each episode because the resolution in 3 was made a little iffy by the way the robots got stopped #and the way they were trying to build hopelessness and tension in that scene #doctor who #15th doctor #12th doctor #clara oswald #ruby sunday

[sp00ky-scary]

Honestly the best part of that episode was how camp it was. Like fuck yeah I love when doctor who gets dumb with it in the best way possible, and considering how not camp it became in recent years and the high budget it would've been so easy for them to lose what doctor who is, which is campy and silly, but they didn't !!!!

#doctor who #doctor who spoilers #like the next episode which is so mysterious and dangerous gets started because of donna throwing coffee on the tardis #and the meep !!!!! that was so dumb but so brilliant #and the resolution was giving 10 becoming space jesus in like the best way possible

It was so Moffat to write a full conversation between the Doctor and an unconscious woman where, because her lifeless body is of use to him as a sounding board, the Doctor can still very cleverly demonstrate he has worked everything out. A sexy lamp moment. A sexy, dead lamp moment.

#there was absolutely no need for that to happen at all #it did not add drama or tension. it was a waste of a good actor #lots of bits of the episode wound me up but I see it was a cheap one and that’s sort of fair. did it all have to be one scene? who knows #the resolution didn’t make sense but when does it ever. but seriously #cut to ruby dead on the ground while the doctor showboats #no better than her being injured and having a conversation with him lmaoooo #doctor who #boom

Does the bigeneration ending feel kind of like RTD wanted to give DT a happy ending first, then wrote the plot around it second? Yes. Did this decision effectively take a massive cartoon sledgehammer to a lot of previously established lore? Yes. Did I enjoy it? ABSOLUTELY

#not hating on the decision btw I actually think the giggle was the best of the specials and I really really liked that the resolution + #of this face coming back was that it was a subconscious cry for help! And overall I like how that was resolved! #also I’m incapable of being a hater I don’t have the heart for it #doctor who #dw #doctor who spoilers #dw spoilers #fourteenth doctor

resolution was… watchable. fine. okay. reasonably tolerable tv. chibnall has a real talent for turning even the most exciting potential concepts (an escaped dalek attaching itself to a human and reassembling itself from scratch) into wishy-washy stand-around-a-room-and-talk half-arsed dullness. you couldn’t get me to care for a second about ryan’s deadbeat dad or their out-of-nowhere “reconciliation”. at least if he’d been forced to sacrifice himself at the end and throw himself into the gravity well to get rid of the dalek that would have been satisfying from a narrative standpoint and would have been a point of conflict to drive a wedge between ryan and the doctor, with ryan blaming the doctor for his father’s death and potentially even storming out of the TARDIS in anger only to begrudgingly return much later in the next series out of necessity when disaster strikes, similarly to how martha came back in the middle of s4. i was so sure that he’d end up dying, and if moffat had been writing this he 100% would have, but instead we get chris neoliberal chibnall’s ‘you always have to forgive your parents because they’re family’ bullshit (for what?? what has he ever done for ryan but mistreat him and fuck off when he was at his most vulnerable?)

i liked some of it. the scene where thirteen was taunting the dalek was good ol’ who and reminded me of s1’s dalek, especially with the way it showed just how much death, mass panic, devastation and havoc one singular dalek can wreak. really portrayed it as a formidable enemy again and that was effective. imo thirteen could have been more imposing and commanding in her confrontation (this is always a criticism i have of her and why i’m still adamant that twelve should have regenerated into michelle gomez), maybe jodie’s just incapable of going oncoming storm mode. which is a bit sad, and don’t accuse me of misogyny please, it has nothing to do with her gender

all in all, i miss christmas specials. cultural christianity sucks but if you’re gonna feature the new year actually do something with it other than “ooh the time vortex looks like fireworks”. the tv movie did more with the new year than your new year’s special, chris.
