So we've seen dozens of variations on this over the years, but this is the first time I've ever seen Christopher Eccleston just straight up say why he left Doctor Who, and why he probably won't come back. It's pretty rough!
The part about the BBC writing a fake quote from him is particularly galling and I totally understand why he wanted fuck all to do with them after that.
Oh brilliant

The Psychopomps have the TARDIS. But the door(s) (a paradigm of thresholds) are/is still in the floor, ceiling, walls...
As for the rest of the episode, oh gee, um, I think I'll need the community wiki for this one... We're rolling deeeep into the philosophy of quantum mechanical interpretation(s). :rotate:

Or at least; I am.
There was definitely a lot of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... stuff.

ACAB, SCAB, SDAB (Some Doctors Are Brilliant)... If we got anything from this episode... We got Jodie dressed as a police officer talking about shopping troubles.

I think this is now the Chibnall of Broadchurch finally doing something that suits him. He was clearly no good at the “episodic, single stories with hints” structure that RTD was great at, so now that he gets to do something that’s intentionally long-form he’s able to be more himself.
No idea if it’ll all hang together in the end, but I’m enjoying the ride while it lasts.
Reminded me of when I was 10 and writing stories and thought that hopping from one mysterious scene after another was good storytelling.
I mean. He's clearly better at long-form story telling than episodic. But he's got three episodes left. If you try and pay everything off at the very end you get a mess like last season's finale.
Also I'm no physicist but I think his understanding of space and time as separate entities isn't quite right.
"Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination."

If our science understood space/time as well as the Time Lords we'd have built a Tardis already.
I see no reason why a "Timey Wimey" show should be limited by Einstein or whatever.
I mean true but there's fantasy pseudoscience you can ignore, and fantasy pseudoscience that takes me out of what I'm watching. Every time they spoke about space and time separately I felt my IQ counter tick down one.

I am idly browsing the Doctor Who blu-ray sets they started releasing a couple of years ago.
They're very nice, aren't they? I had a few DVDs of Classic Who but got rid of them ages ago for some reason. And I could just get a BritBox subscription to get access to all of Classic Who.

And yet.
The artwork is superb, if we're thinking of the same sets.

Yaz: hey, do you want to talk about how you're taking this very personally and really off right now?
Dr: NO, GET IN THE CAR TARDIS AND BE QUIET.
What even is the relationship between Yaz and Dr now?

I'd probably be looking at getting the slimline editions that are a bit cheaper and less fancy in the packaging department, but still. Then again there's a guy on eBay who's selling all 9 existing box sets as a package that costs no more than a PS5.
Man I have never had to wait this long for the new episode to drop on Amazon, I'm kinda getting worried here. Has the BBC and Amazon had a pissing match in the past week or something?

AMC+ has been getting them on the day they are shown, but the smartphone app is freezing up. I finally got it work. I set my phone into performance mode.
Did the baddies worlds not get effected by the Flux or did they already have a plan to handle such a situation?
I am wondering why they are all going on a rampage to conquer the galaxies.
Here is some Old Who recreated. Not bad. Kind of a clean comic book look. I like the style. AMC+ has some of the recreated Second Doctor episodes. https://youtu.be/jxmgqgWeZkA
Here is the Behind the Scenes for the new episode:
Really, they are using animation for the Old Who that is similar to what they used for Archer and Sealab. It uses computers and is allot cheaper. Some of it is kind of like puppetry.
It is kind of similar to what was used in the recent Rayman games.

Edit:(Well, as far forward{s} as you might wish to go, but never ever back - unless you know about a stable synthetic element (exotic matter) that's not currently on the periodic table)...
Edit: Forgot to include my point, in a rush. Probably the closest thing that humanity has to an IRL TARDIS, were we able and/or willing to command it to swing back around to the vicinity of Earth's local inertial reference frame.
If Tardigrades were on it they could/would be younger than than Tardigrades kept here as a baseline/control group here on Earth. TARDIS-Grades... :P :snap:
It seems like the problem with Dan is that he cares too much. He does not focus on making money for himself. Maybe there is some reason for that.
They are kind of doing this weird "time is magic" thing right now. Somehow, it can be manipulated by special powers the Doctor and those other people have.
I too had Rani vibes, just because of the "laboratory" atmosphere. But the conversation didn't feel right for that. If it is a character we have met before, the most likely to me seems to be the White Guardian. But given recent writing, it will probably be a brand new character who is somehow also the Doctor, again.

I think she's the bartender from the last episode of Quantum Leap.

"It was over!"... with a race of aliens who do nothing but go to war and literally just got done trying to wipe out earth and declared they'd be back. No, it's not over until they're all dead.
The Flux was obliterating planets. Stars. Everything. Then there are remains to fight over and land on and search through.
The bad guys don't just snap the doctor out of existence instead of themselves after they've had her perform her task they masterminded because...?

She must be using her Timelord mind powers, because I didn't really see her do anything.

That's from Series 5, Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone. Debunking my theorem that Chibs has not seen a single Moff episode, eh.

I'd still argue he hasn't seen anything with Capaldi in it though.
Honestly the first time I've seen a problem, and it sounds like this ep isn't something I should rush off to see anyways...
It is a confusing episode, but there are a couple of payoffs in the end.
Its Mephisto!
