Yeah, seriously, Ruby wishes Conrad would be happy, and every woman in the series becomes a mother…

Of ALL the Doctor Who antags to give a happy ending to, why did it have to be the most punchable of the lot?

Women were all housewives in his wish world already , I don’t understand RTD at all 
I don’t he understands his own narrative at this point

To be fair, Ruby (iirc) does comment how unfair it is that Conrad got a second chance but Poppy didn’t.

Belinda in the first 3 eps of the series was great, all down hill from there. I really hate this retcon or whatever it was. Why did the Doctor have to make that part of the wish reality, Belinda didn’t ask for that? The whole thing just really rubs me up the wrong way tbh.

I wonder if there may have been a sad ending originally. All that rescuing Poppy stuff felt like a rewrite to fit in a regeneration.

One of the gayest eras of the show ends with the most heteronormative idea of a “everyone is happy now”-ahh ending.

Said this yesterday but will repeat again that at least personally I’m really happy you enjoyed the episode, as did some others. And I wish I did too, I just really didn’t. I get how exhausting it can be though to be a fan when others aren’t, I’ve been there before.

That picture of 15 and Belinda at a nightclub looked more like a happy ending to me…

I understand why would Ruby be so concerned about Poppy’s existence , after all her reality was altered before , but it doesn’t feel right She wanted to go back home , there was no hint of Poppy!

If RTD ever writes The Writer’s Tale 2, the chapter about this episode is going to be WILD

Do we think all the shots of Belinda saying “I need to get home for Poppy” were part of the reshoot? Because they looked to me like they were shot at the time the original episodes were filmed…

… Y’know, in the chaos of everything else, I somehow forgot about Rogue being in Wish World.
Okay, now I’m pissed.

I thought it might’ve been reshoots because I think Belinda’s hair looked different in the Robot Revolution flashback, but I’m not 100% sure

On one hand I’m like where tf was Susan, on the other thank god we didn’t get a BF retcon

I’d say that he’d probably write Susan as saying nothing but “Grandfather!”, but that’s kinda already what we got…

Half of the episode being focused on Poppy was wild, like I really did not care one bit.
