Yeah that was weird actually, what was the point of that? She’s quite a name and they brought her in for very little?Did anyone else think for a minute that Ruby's mum was going to beClaire from Fleabag?
Yeah those three episodes were all bad for much the same reasons. When the enemy is basically omnipotent you just know there's gonna be some random bullshit pulled out at the last minute to save the day.Hoping for a few less god-level enemies next time. Between Toymaker, Sutekh and Maestro, it feel a bit too MCU and hopeless with the "We can't beat a God" which leads to underwhelming conclusions at times.
And that's still less than we used to have back in the day. 13 always felt like the right amount of episodes for a season. You had enough time to set up the main arc, room for one or two double part episodes and space for plenty of one offs where the tone was lighter.I understand that with the Xmas specials we had 11 episodes in the last six months and that Disney was testing the waters… but this season was ridiculously short. We could have used four more to flesh out this new doctor and to actually care for Ruby fff
The finale had its moments. I teared up a bit when everyone turned to dust, but couldn’t help but cringe and the screaming and crying from Ncuti.
I wonder if we’ll get a Halloween special, since that old lady talked about horror. But pls, no more gods.
I don't think Sutekh was on the Tardis for thousands of years, rather he latched on sometime after his original defeat, so even though he'd been through time and space he had "only" been holding on for a few decades, which is just the blink of an eye for a God.I liked the finale. RTDs resolution was always going to be dumb: Magic rope, death of death means life, and Ruby’s mum being someone normal.
I don’t understand how a monster/god who survived thousands of years on the Tardis was killed by being dragged by the Tardis when he had managed to get stronger over those thousands of years, how the Doctor didn’t see in those thousands of years that everyone died after he landed anywhere, or why the monster/god didn’t kill Ruby because her mum was so unsual even though she wasn’t.
I still don’t get it. Was Ruby the only baby abandoned at birth? Why did he care who she was?I don't think Sutekh was on the Tardis for thousands of years, rather he latched on sometime after his original defeat, so even though he'd been through time and space he had "only" been holding on for a few decades, which is just the blink of an eye for a God.
And the way I saw it, the dust only started doing its thing once Sutekh revealed himself so it was a chain reaction. After a rewatch, I feel like by undoing his death dust, the Doctor drained Sutekh of his powers and life? I dunno on that one.
And he likely kept Ruby alive because she was the key to this one mystery he couldn't solve. Without her he'd never be able to figure out who she was, even though he'd likely already killed her. It was so dumb really.
The only baby abandoned at birth in front of the Tardis, I guess fffI still don’t get it. Was Ruby the only baby abandoned at birth? Why did he care who she was?
I think because the mystery of her identity made her somehow important because everyone wanted to know who she was but couldn't solve the mystery and Sutekh is a nosy bitch who wanted all the gossip? Like it was really convoluted and not properly explained. I've watched it like three times and still not sure what's going on.I still don’t get it. Was Ruby the only baby abandoned at birth? Why did he care who she was?
Also, why couldn’t we see Ruby’s mum’s face when she was pointing at the sign? You could see the rest of her clearly and so it wasn’t a 73 yards thing.The only baby abandoned at birth in front of the Tardis, I guess fff
The whole pointing at the sign post thing was so ridiculous though. Like… there was nobody in that street, who was supposed to see that jsjdjdj the dramatics
Maybe because she was standing within the TARDIS’ perception filter field so it made her hiddenAlso, why couldn’t we see Ruby’s mum’s face when she was pointing at the sign? You could see the rest of her clearly and so it wasn’t a 73 yards thing.
Only her face but not the rest of her?Maybe because she was standing within the TARDIS’ perception filter field so it made her hidden
that random woman with an empty crib
How else would they show the effect of Sutekh‘s death dust? It spreads from family member to family member.They should have ditched that random woman with an empty crib scene
