Ultimate Doctor Who Poll Round 1 - Matchup 22

Episode Summaries under the cut

113: Empress of Mars - Season 10, Episode 9: The Doctor, Bill, and Nardole are in NASA headquarters, watching them test a new camera on the surface of Mars, where they see rocks spelling out "God save the Queen". The Doctor tracks the message back to 1881, where they arrive, but the TARDIS takes off with Nardole inside. The Doctor and Bill meet an Ice Warrior and a platoon of Victorian soldiers. The soldiers say that they found the Ice Warrior, Friday's, crashed ship and helped him to repair it in exchange for promised riches back on Mars. The soldiers have been helping him to mine.

Their mining effort finally breaks through a wall, where they discover an Ice Warrior Hive, including the Martian Ice Queen. The Ice Warriors wake up and begin to fight with the British soldiers, but the Doctor deescalates, but peace breaks down when one of the soldiers fires. While everybody else fights, the Doctor, Bill, and one officer are held prisoner, but are freed by Friday.

One soldier takes the queen hostage, but is killed by another soldier to free her. Surprised by this, she decides to show mercy to the humans, and stops the fighting. The Doctor helps the Ice Warriors send a distress call to another planet to get them a ship, and they set out the rocks spelling out God Save the Queen. The TARDIS returns for them, only for them to find that Nardole has released Missy in order to pilot it for him.

144: The Tsuranga Conundrum - Season 11, Episode 5: The Doctor, Ryan, Graham, and Yaz are injured by a sonic mine and wake up on a medical ship 4 days later. The Doctor wants the ship to turn around, as they left the TARDIS behind, but discovers the ship is on auto-pilot, with only medical staff aboard. They discover a small creature aboard doing damage to the ship by eating parts and draining them of power, including the Doctor's sonic screwdriver when she tries to scan it.

The ship detects the creature, called a Pting, and due to the danger it threatens the main hospital if the ship completes it's journey there, begins a self-destruct sequence, which the Doctor works on delaying. They realize the Pting is attracted to energy and that the self-destruct would come from a bomb built into the engine room. The Doctor takes the bomb, which is increasing in power, to attract the Pting and sends it out into space with the Pting following after it.

yeah baby!

i have watched the tsuranga conundrum and it is SO good!

the bit of banter at the beginning to let us know they've been traveling together for a while and give a longer measure of time to the series!

the doctor freaking out about losing the TARDIS because that's her ship, that's her home, someone's going to take her, she can't lose anything else–

the way astsos grabs her and tells her she's being selfish and she pauses and realizes that he's right, that there are people who need help and if she is the doctor she will help them first and worry about herself later.

everything about astos, actually.

she doesn't like being told what to do.

the way the doctor actually gets to be injured, and she moves through it because she's used to it, she's done it before and will do it again but the way it's so visible in her body language and voice and it lasts and isn't played off in a second and ignored.

i kept worrying they were going to play yoss off for a joke, and expecting graham to be an asshole about it (i don't know why, he's beating all the allegations, he is a lovely middle aged man with useful life skills who is cool and hip with the times and is just trying to do his best by his teenage step-grandson) but it actually ended up being really sweet and the funny bits were actually funny and not haha thinly-veiled transphobia

speaking of graham just look at him. he's just a guy. i love him.

AND

THE DOCTOR

aaaaaaaa look i know it takes a bit to adjust to a new doctor, and i. hated ten. when i started season two. i did not like him. but i thought eleven was excellent in his first episode, and i'd known twelve already and got so excited to see him, so it took me a minute to get used to thirteen.

even accounting for that, it feels like the first four episodes were still adjusting to jodie whittaker as the doctor. some of the dialogue was a little awkward, and there were really good moments (tea at yaz's! the showdown moment in rosa!) but generally it just felt a little clunky and out of rhythm.

and in this episode! it! clicked!

i've decided i would die for thirteen, actually.

how she meets the general and goes so hard on being a fan, 'oh no doctor is a very common name! i'm not important! ...i think it was more like a volume, not a chapter'.

the way she's so determined to do this, to save everyone, and she doesn't know how yet but she's going to.

the particle accelerator speech. god, this bit. i rewatched it four times. she's just. something about the doctor talking about 'old' technology with a hushed awe and appreciation, talking about science like it's poetry, loving the basic facts of how the universe operates, is just. god.

and especially the ending, how she figures out a way to save them and make the p'ting happy. there was a little bit of it with the big spider, but she moved on very quickly there. here, it's just a side moment, barely even mentioned, but even just the comment about how it isn't trying to hurt anyone, just feed itself–

i love this show.

the cgi is good now but at what cost (lame alien design and unimaginative plots) chibs era feels like rtd with all the seasoning removed. how do you make life-threatening stakes feel so lifeless and dull. can’t believe the spider episode was better than this

things we Don't Really Talk About in the Doctor Who fandom (although we really should):

this Scooby-Doo scene, mainly because it takes place in the same episode as this:

and this:

-

this interspecies couple:

and their children:

-

this creepy lady and her leech:

and how she turned The Doctor into this:

-

those few episodes with this kid who was sort-of-not-really a companion:

and The Doctor was essentially on the future space version of Big Brother:

and this was the bad guy:

also Scotty was in it:

-

these awful dolls that came to life and turned other people into dolls:

-

that time The Doctor and team saw this message on the surface of Mars:

only to discover Victorian soldiers there:

and the baddass Empress Martian:

-

that time everyone got sucked into the tv:

and promptly lost their faces:

and The Doctor went all Mary Poppins on a misogynist:

-

my least favorite, the first time Mark Gatiss appeared:

and turned into this:

-

and my most favorite, that time there was a (presumably) cis pregnant man:

and when asked if it was a girl or a boy, said that both male and female people of his species could get pregnant - and that men gave birth to boys, and women gave birth to girls.

and the bad guy of the episode was Just A Little Guy who ate everything:

(including a bomb. and not only did it survive, it was finally sated!)

-

these are out of order but there are definitely more. and the point is, like... Doctor Who is weird. it always has been. this isn't even counting Classic Who, as I haven't watched much of it.

and I think we should talk about the underrated episodes more. because they have some really poignant moments:
