His favourite story is Galaxy 4, calling it now.
They finally defrosted him
Is the guy who plays Conrad related to Paul McGann at all? I wouldnât be surprised if he is.
I agree. So much of the negativity reeks of insincerity. Trolling to rile people and create discord. Itâs the modern playbook.
Now, what was that quote?
ââŠalong comes this⊠noise. All day long, this relentless noise. Cowards like you, weaponising lies, taking peopleâs insecurities and fear, and making it currency. You are exhausting. You stamp on the truth, choke our bandwidth, and shred our patience. Because the only strategy you have is to wear us down.â
Apt.
Not sure if anyoneâs mentioned this, but when the Doctor meets young Conrad back in 2007, at that point heâd already had that confrontation with adult Conrad in the Tardis. I wonder if he put together that it was partially due to him that Conrad went on his dark path, as in the scene it didnât look like any bells rung.
I donât think he realized it was the same person , maybe he will
SAMEE I also thought he kinda looked like him
I think the Doctor meets a lot of people, not sure he realised the link, or maybe he might have tried to do something different?
Itâs a paradox, not sure where they are going with this.
This was allright,
Not my fav episode as it was very Belinda and Doctor lite.
Gave it 3 stars, as itâs middle of the road for me.
I think if I had to take a major mark against it, Iâd like a Kate episode where her father isnât mentioned. Thereâs this tendency to always bring up the Brigadier in some way, making it harder for Kate to stand on her own. Although, it was interesting seeing what happens when someone speaks ill of him in her presence. I think Conrad touched a nerve, and thatâs part of why she arguably went a step overboard.
To quote myself from the discord
McTighe, I take it all back, I wasnât aware of your game
Well, maybe not all of it
Kerblam! still sucks, and Praxeus is fine but not stunning
but this was a whole load of fun
I did feel like they made this episode less about Ruby more about Unit - it wasnât a bad episode.
Also slight nit pick at all the people Kate hires - only a few appear at a time.
If I had one complaint about the episode, it would be agreeing that yeah, the Brig didnât need to be mentioned again, but also it feels completely in character for Conrad to do so in that way
Also I kind of wish the companion support group from PotD showed up again at the end (or at least got nodded towards), but also I loved the line about Ruby collecting mums
Do you mean Ruby could go there to get some emotional support?
Because that is a really good idea, she should definitely seek them out.
However when I read your comment I thought you meant the support group should show up with makeshift weapons and kick Conradâs ass
To be fair, UNIT is a world-wide organisation, in this episode they mention that Melâs off doing setup for The War Between in another country.
As for the other people weâve seen working at UNIT, I reckon thereâs good enough reasons theyâre not here:
- Donna - Gets a bunch of time off
- Rose - Most of this takes place at night, between UNIT and School, she probably needs the sleep (Plus I get the vibe that when 15âs not around, sheâs not usually on the main floor)
- Morris - I kind of assume that given him and Shirley have the same role within UNIT, they only need one person in that position on the âmain floorâ at a time, heâs probably just downstairs
- Susan - Also doesnât feel like sheâd be given a âmain floorâ job, plus sheâs splitting time between UNIT and Triad anyway
I hope this features at some point.
Yeah, I mean Mel was there, so she probably knows it exists, I think Ruby and Yaz would get along
Obviously William Russell has passed away, but Iâm imagining 90 year old Ian beating Conrad half to death with a cane lmao
Gonna watch this later with my dad. And weâre gonna watch The Well as he hasnât seen it.
It feels so good not being the only adult watching the show again
He also bought me some cola for when we watch too.
Read some of yâall replies here but havenât been spoiled yet. Just my luck ig.
Not sure how I feel about this one yet, gonna have to rewatch it with my parents tonight to form a solid opinion. (Also for some reason I was having audio issues? Most of Rubyâs lines sounded super canny.)
The âTV Showâ theorists are gonna have a field day with Conrad directly calling the monsters costumes and special effects
