Something to note…

The Doctor tells Ruby that Time Lords can regenerate to hide themselves away… and only a few scenes later Mrs Flood actually says that she is always hiding herself away.

That’s way too much of a coincidence, especially when it comes to RTD who loves to seed hints throughout his scripts. Mrs. Flood is a Time Lord, bookmark me girlies.

I feel like she'd be a perfect for for UNIT. A former companion, qualified doctor and has experience with combat. We never got enough chance to explore what made Martha so unique in her season as companion and I so want to get more of her.
It was criminal that she was reduced to lovesick damsel in series 3 when you had the fact she was a doctor and could use that to help in so many ways.

That was epic! What a brilliant episode. This whole series has reignited my love for Doctor Who.

I know zilch about classic who so is Sutekh somebody the doctor has faced before?

I'd recommend watching "Pyramids of Mars" on BBC iPlayer (Season 13) when you get a chance. It's 4 episodes, but each one is 25 minutes so it's similar in length to a 2-part story in the revived series.

Sarah Jane Smith is also in the story, so you'll be familiar with at least one character in the story.

It's definitely one of the fan favorites of the early Tom Baker era.

I can't stop watching that final scene, it's just so good. I know Russell slept good after he finished writing that because he clearly put his all into it. And Genesis's performance as Harriet in that scene was just so good. I don't think I've been this obsessed with a final scene since Army of Ghosts.

I decided to look up the meanings of snow in literature and got some interesting results:

    1. Isolation and Coldness: Snow can also symbolize isolation and coldness. The image of snow-covered landscapes can evoke feelings of loneliness, emptiness, and desolation. It can symbolize a sense of being cut off from the rest of the world or feeling emotionally cold and distant. - The theme of loneliness and isolation has come up a few times through this series. And there have of course been several theories that Ruby drops herself off at the church.
    2. Transformation and Change: Snow is a transient element that can symbolize transformation and change. As snow melts and gives way to new life in the spring, it can represent the cyclical nature of life, growth, and renewal. Snow can symbolize the idea of change and the passage of time. - Transformation is of course a big part of Doctor Who, so are we about to see a character change (or regenerate) in the finale?

Or I could be chatting some nonsense and it's just snowing because it was Christmas haha either way, I'm so excited for Empire of Death.

Kinda off topic, but seeing the reaction that people in the Star Wars fandom had after they changed someone's fucking birthday makes me glad that Doctor Who's canon is so flexible. It's far more enjoyable knowing that writers are willing to play with the rules instead of being boxed in specific stories. I mean, there are so many inconsistencies in the show and, for the most part, we just...accept them? It's great.

The MCU effect has rotted people's mind all over. Try being a Zelda fan...!

There's still a lot of angry 'fans' but they're mostly hate farmers who get views for being overly negative on YouTube. Mostly, I think Doctor Who fandom really does embrace change/mess and gets past the various controversies after a while. Being raised in the classic era, with all the tonal shifts happening, sometimes from season to season, I'm a bit more flexible in terms of giving huge changes a chance, I suppose.
