tsuranga conundrum
heyy it’s anna’s bf lol
not quite liking how her companions got dropped straight behind
anyway not a fan of more of the ‘sorry’ more of the ‘you’re right’ more of the ‘don’t like being told what to do [but i’ll listen then]’
i know they’re trying to depict turning over a new leaf & learning but i just find it terrible timing that’s all (being that shes now a woman)
once again a lot of closeups. it’s ok but not quite
astos get out of the pod it’s gonn get jettisoned
he’s got good instincts except then he ignores the Doctor twice and he dies. ??? so....what did we learn?
highlighting that creature ignored the Doctor also
why?
WHY DESTROY THE SONIC SO EARLY???? felt like blasphemy
like this pregnant dude though. turning some shit on its head
like the analogies - the medicine doctor stuff
why did the ship have to tell us, why not let the Doctor tell us for once? all alien and future stuff so far has drawn confusion from her. has she forgotten everything suddenly? is she not 3000 years old with incredible memory?
mabely didn’t need to tell the Doctor to examine the general - it was spelled out about three times to the audience that something was wrong - having the Doctor notice herself would show that she’s smart and perceptive (ugh)
NOO NO NO NO! the iphone version of cern??? if it was it would break in seconds! but the Doctor makes that analogy without any disdain ahghghg
the Doctor offers to help. incapable. AGGHGHGHGH
why is the Doctor reiterating what teh audience already knows??? why chibs?? why spend precious minutes on filler that does nothing??
‘and yes i am keeping score for all of ya!’ ‘jokes!’
‘oh every day mate!’
really loved the pregnancy stuff (avacado lol) and Ryan probably processing some things and just the whole gender reversal there. doesn’t make much sense to me that they’d imply that male pregancy is engineered somehow and that they’d forget to put in a fertility switch but OK it worked
not sure about the super on the nose ‘hope’stuff but i liked the speech getting recounted
liked the line about the 67th century being kinda eh in the middle but it’ll all turn out ok
really quite crunchy stuff, all falling into place pretty well yeah and i really liked that brother and sister reconciled in time
was hoping brother would be like: hey android y dont u come work for me (?) since he was literally sister’s ‘consort’? and questions of personhood and slavery etc
feel like they wouldn’t have to let the different characters doing their stuff (all feels very carefully slotted into place) somehow highlight the Doctor falling short
