Episode Discussion: The Reality War

The one positive I’ll give is when Jodie appeared our screening audience went absolutely wild (in a good way)

Mel is maybe my favorite classic companion, and I think she was unfairly maligned by people (including Dame Bonnie) who equated her screaming a lot with her being helpless, whereas in actuality she’s immediately right on top of things, solving the mystery with the Doctor, in her first serial. But RTD never putting her near a computer is very much in keeping with her old characterization, lol. She got to repair an electronic circuit once and that was it.

Because Ncuti, very smartly, jumped off the sinking ship

I see where you’re coming from. At the same time, I don’t think age plays as much as a factor as people always think. It really felt like the early days after I came out to my mum, and she’d deadname me and then use the right one mid-sentence, or deadname me in front of other family members but call me my preferred in private, because she didn’t know the politics of me being trans and if I was keeping it secret.

I think what felt really real for me, personally, was just a family member who’s doing their best. And I liked that.

i think people who knew who omega was are more upset about the episode than people who did not , i myself did not know who he was until i heard the leaks about him and i was like okay sure
same with the rani obviously
i didn’t like the fact that there was a lot of exposition this season (the story and the engine, lucky days , wish world and the finale) and i didn’t like them just making belinda and mother and rewriting her after the first three episodes where she gave us something entirely new from a companion
and my biggest let down was ncuti leaving , i wished he had more time cuz i wouldve loved to see him travel with both ruby and belinda !!!
and when will russel stop adding so many characters to his finales ??? he did that with series 4 finale and it was fine but still so annoying
i genuinely think though that this season is better than the first one
empire of death and the legend of ruby sunday pissed me off so bad especially when it came to ruby’s ending

ALSO 13 HUGGING 15 AND THEIR CONVERSATION REMINDED ME OF 10 AND 5 I WAS SCREAMING FROM EXCITEMENT :sob::sob::sob::heart::heart:

Strip away the gimmicks and novelty gubbins (the regeneration, Piper, Whittaker) and this episode was still ass.

Stranger things have happened and I’m prepared to believe almost anything is possible.

Whether Ncuti comes back or not, I do definitely think Billie Piper is a stop-gap.

Gatwa won’t come back. Piper is definitely another gimmicky stop-gap.

That’s how I feel about TV Fugitive. Forever a cameo Doctor.
