There's lots to talk about with
this one.
7

I feel like I say that every
time.
8
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,760
I hope there's lots to talk
about every time we do.
9
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,440
This we talk a lot, but that
proves the point.
10

Yeah, but not too much.

I don't have it here.
Oh I was hoping to grab it and

So you just, you just said
something that they're not going
23
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:12,440
to get.
So that's great.
24
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,040
Well, they'll have to tune in
next week.
25
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:20,280
OK, so all that great stuff.
Spoilers ahead for Doctor Who
26
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,280
this entire season so far, and
especially for Rogue.
27
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,720
Yes, so let us officially take a
bite of Doctor Who Episode 6
28
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,040
Rogue.
Directed by Ben Chessel and
29
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,760
written by Kate Herron and
Bryani Redman, The Doctor and
30
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,040
Ruby Land in Bridgeton inspired
1813.
31
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,720
Where there's etiquette,
dancing, a handsome bounty
32
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,720
hunter and shape shifting bird
like lightning producing
33
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,560
cosplayers, scandals abound.
Where's Lady Whistle Down when
34
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,160
you need her?
Oh, writing about the scandal?
35
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,000
Well, she better be there
because there was a lot
36
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,440
happening at this place.
Where's?
37
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,680
Penelope, I did not see her.
Well, she's a little wallflower.
38
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,560
You never see her the whole.
Point.
39
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,120
Very good point.
What would I have done if Nicola
40
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,960
Coughlin would have come out of
the wall as one of those bird
41
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,520
people?
It would have been amazing.
42
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,240
You know she is going to be the
companion for this year's
43
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,240
Christmas special, so look at
that connection.
44
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,080
Is that true?
Yeah, why would I lie?
45
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,000
To get my hopes out.
Hello.
46
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,360
I would never lie about Nicola
Cocola.
47
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,680
I mean, she's amazing, yeah.
No, she is for real.
48
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,480
So surprised if you didn't know
that.
49
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:33,400
Spoiler.
Out of a lot of these episodes
50
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,800
that we've seen from like the
season trailer and everything,
51
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,720
this is one of the ones that was
at the top of my list that I was
52
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,440
so excited for.
Not just for the Bergerton of of
53
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:49,400
it all, but I love Time period
pieces or Doctor Who so it just
54
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,960
checked multiple boxes.
What are your thoughts on this
55
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,520
episode?
General thoughts before we get
56
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,240
into the nitty gritty.
Thoughts.
57
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,560
I have more questions than
thoughts.
58
00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:06,280
My question is where does this
fit into the season?
59
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,720
What does love mean to the
Doctor?
60
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,360
Who is Ruby Sunday and what's
the deal with Susan Twist?
61
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,040
That's it, That's all the
thoughts.
62
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,040
That's all the thoughts they
have.
63
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,600
Well, I.
Those are seasoned questions,
64
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,880
and I feel like this one being
right before the penultimate,
65
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,240
right before the kind of two
parter finale, is an interesting
66
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,760
choice.
But I thought it was a lot of
67
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,880
fun.
We almost needed it because the
68
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,440
last couple episodes were really
heavy, almost so and.
69
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,920
This one wasn't.
Well, I mean, it was like hot
70
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,280
and heavy, but.
Not that ending.
71
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,640
We needed some like levity,
almost.
72
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,440
There was dancing.
Yeah, there was a lot of dancing
73
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,160
with us.
That's the joy of anything
74
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,880
Bridgerton.
It's the costumes and the
75
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,560
dancing.
And this delivered both.
76
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,040
Yeah.
What did you think of the fact
77
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,040
that it was they were like in
Bridgerton, but not necessarily
78
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,600
1813?
OK, so thoughts gone into the
79
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,720
episode I the year doesn't
matter to me.
80
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,520
I'm like fine, do whatever year
you want.
81
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,640
You can go to 426926.
I don't.
82
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:18,760
Care time.
Yeah, I can't.
83
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,760
Time me why me?
Thanks for pointing out my
84
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,000
mistake.
No I I liked it again.
85
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,520
I like the period pieces with
this.
86
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:32,640
I am really interested on why
we're getting episodes like
87
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,160
this.
They the only really through
88
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,680
line is the Doctor and Ruby,
which is most of Doctor Who and
89
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,920
Susan Twist.
But each one it almost this
90
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,640
episode made me feel like it's
out of order and I don't know
91
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,960
why I'm feeling that way.
And maybe we'll know if that's
92
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,640
something that's happening, but
it almost does feel out of order
93
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,680
and I don't know how to put a
pin in that.
94
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,640
Do you feel that in any way or?
I just felt like this episode,
95
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,960
out of all of them, we lost a
lot of those through lines that
96
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,560
we have been talking about this
entire season, right?
97
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,120
Of sort of music playing a part
in it.
98
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,240
I mean, granted there was
dancing, but there wasn't like
99
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:15,840
music wasn't encompassing any of
it.
100
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,760
There was like pop hits.
I mean, that is true, but I
101
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,880
don't know, it feels like
where's the as far as the babies
102
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,520
or parents?
I don't know.
103
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:30,840
I felt like as far as it being a
main part of this storyline, it
104
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:33,400
wasn't there.
Even Susan Twist in this one,
105
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,000
she was a painting on a wall and
that's all we got of.
106
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,360
It but she was a grandmother,
right?
107
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,320
So there's your familiar
connection there.
108
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,440
I mean, I I think so Doctor Who
is interesting because it is
109
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,200
very like episode of the week,
but there is a through
110
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,240
storyline, right?
And so I am curious to see if
111
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,280
there is a connection between
Ruby almost manifesting things
112
00:05:56,280 --> 00:05:58,760
that are happening in episodes
like and the devil's chord.
113
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,240
Oh, you know, where's like the
dance numbers and the jibes?
114
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,720
There's one at the end, you
know, this is very Bridgerton.
115
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:09,040
It literally became Bridgerton
with the quartet, pop music,
116
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:10,760
instrumentals.
We got.
117
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,360
What was it, Poker Face and Bad
Guy by Billie Eilish played in
118
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:15,800
this one.
And all of that stuff happens
119
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,520
almost after she puts it into
the universe.
120
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,360
Almost.
This is she said in this
121
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,200
episode, this was always a dream
of mine and it's becoming a
122
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,000
reality.
So I don't know if it's we're
123
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,400
supposed to be picking up on
those things, but I do find it
124
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,760
interesting that it is almost
like we are already on the
125
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,200
planet or wherever they are,
they're already there and it is
126
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,840
whatever happens.
And she almost like she the
127
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:42,480
fairy circle.
It became a fairy tale.
128
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,400
I don't know, it's just it's
interesting.
129
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,960
I'm trying to put together
pieces but I feel like I will go
130
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,240
insane if I keep trying to
connect everything.
131
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,120
Yeah, I mean, I think you're
right in the sense that each of
132
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:58,040
these episodes sort of does feel
like it's very own genre like or
133
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,280
like the it's hitting a specific
genre, right.
134
00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:04,320
So this is exactly so this is
where instead of being in Disney
135
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,080
Plus, we're in Ruby Plus, right?
And we're just going through her
136
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,360
subscription based streaming
service.
137
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,840
And so this week we were in
Bridgerton, you know, the week
138
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,800
before we were in sort of a
Black Mirror episode, the
139
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,480
mirror, you know, before that we
were in the horror or whatever
140
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,880
it is, space babies.
So I think you're hitting
141
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,080
something on the head there
where it does seem like they
142
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,480
are, although there is the
through line of the Doctor and
143
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,480
Ruby.
They're going through very
144
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,960
different places, which I know
is part of the show, right?
145
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,240
They travel to different places.
But a lot of the times it does
146
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,480
feel very based in in science
fiction.
147
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,280
Yeah, there's just, I almost
feel like there's some things
148
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,520
that are missing almost.
And that's what's giving me
149
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,400
pause because I'm I was.
We've been watching some
150
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,400
episodes.
I've been making you watch some
151
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,400
episodes that are my favorite,
and we watched some of the ones
152
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,200
with Amy Pond and, and Matt
Smith and everything I said the
153
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,440
character's name and the actor's
name.
154
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,120
You guys know I'm talking about.
There's too many names to keep
155
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,960
track of.
But there's something that like
156
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,640
what I feel like is missing, and
I just thought of it now, is the
157
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,160
Doctor being like, OK, pressing
all the buttons, doing all the
158
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,440
levers and going to the place.
And that happens most of the
159
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,040
time, not all the time when it
happens.
160
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,040
And I feel like we haven't seen
that at all, really.
161
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,280
The season before everything
kicked off.
162
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,360
So there's like things that I
feel like are missing that I
163
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,320
don't know if it's by choice or
they're just omitting it for
164
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:27,240
like runtime.
Like are we?
165
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,440
Just cutting to the chase of
them being there, right?
166
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,560
Because there's only eight
episodes of season where usually
167
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,880
there's like 13.
So I don't know.
168
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,240
I'm just like throwing theories
out there.
169
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,200
It's towards the end, I'm going
crazy.
170
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,280
I need some answers.
And I think it's interesting.
171
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,960
Is is the mystery just Ruby
herself, or is the mystery this
172
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,840
entire season I.
Think both.
173
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,040
I think they're tied together.
They would have to be.
174
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:50,920
It's going to be interesting,
so.
175
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,360
Susan Twist is really just a
producer at Ruby Plus, and she's
176
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,240
pulling all the strings it could
be.
177
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,160
It could be.
So this episode, what did you
178
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,520
think about the Bridgerton Ness
of it?
179
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,240
I love it.
And I mean, I think the timing
180
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,640
is perfect, right?
We're kind of in the middle of
181
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,480
season three of Bridgerton right
now.
182
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,920
We're waiting for that
second-half which comes out next
183
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,920
week.
So the Bridgerton Ness of it, I
184
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,720
think we are all Ruby, right?
We are Ruby living in this
185
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,360
reality where we can't wait for
the next season of Bridgerton to
186
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,480
come.
And the things that she loves
187
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,240
about it, you know, the amazing
costume designs in this episode,
188
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,400
the choreography, which is done
by the same choreographer who
189
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,160
choreographs Bridgerton.
That's insane.
190
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,080
Yeah, it's it's pretty
fantastic.
191
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,800
So his name is Jack Murphy.
He's done all three seasons of
192
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,040
Bridgerton.
And he's done a couple episodes
193
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,440
of this Doctor Who, which is
very cool to see.
194
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,680
And so I think that as far as
the Bridgerton Ness of it and
195
00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:50,920
thinking about them being in
Bridgerton, it totally pays off
196
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,360
and they pull it, totally pull
it off.
197
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,480
The one thing that I'm trying to
piece together, not to get back
198
00:09:55,480 --> 00:10:00,120
into the theory of what's
happening here, is it it feels
199
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,120
like they're actually in an
episode of Bridgerton, not that
200
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,000
they're doing what Bridgerton
does, which is like, you know,
201
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,080
Bridgerton is like taking the
Regency era but making it more
202
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,480
modern.
It's like they actually went
203
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,640
into Bridgerton itself rather
than them just putting A twist.
204
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,640
In the era, I feel like the
writing duo that wrote this
205
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:25,800
episode were the perfect people
to do this because when an
206
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,840
episode of TV tries to clearly
emulate something and they even
207
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,880
drop the name of the thing
they're trying to emulate, it
208
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,800
could get tiring really quickly.
But I felt like with the
209
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,560
writing, with this, I mean, Kate
Aaron, we know them from Loki
210
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:40,960
season one.
They, they were the reasons why
211
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,760
Loki season one was so good.
I mean, there's obviously tons
212
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,960
of other people, but they were
the creative mind behind that.
213
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,760
And I felt like the writing was
so sharp in this episode.
214
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,400
The jokes weren't like
heavy-handed.
215
00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:56,440
They were quick and witty and
just kind of like there.
216
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,080
And it's like, oh, that was that
was funny and it just seemed a
217
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,480
little natural.
So having that tight writing in
218
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:08,800
this paid off with it emulating
another show and I feel like it
219
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,920
didn't get tired.
I was enjoying a bunch of it.
220
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,440
Yeah.
And I really loved the scenes,
221
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,560
personally between Ruby and the
character Emily Beckett, who's
222
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:21,040
supposed to be like the shy
wallflower character.
223
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,720
I love Ruby just being Ruby.
Even though Ruby is dressed up
224
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,760
in Bridgeton attire, she's still
saying current vernacular.
225
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,200
She's still acting like herself.
And so watching this character
226
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,040
get very wide eyed by everything
that she's saying, I thought was
227
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,520
really funny.
And I thought they played off of
228
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:38,960
each other really well.
Yeah.
229
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,960
I liked it.
And there's, you know, injecting
230
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,760
that modern feminism into it.
And even though we do find out
231
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:49,000
that this character is a
shoulder, which I'm going to say
232
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,320
we had a hard time pronouncing
that at first because we didn't
233
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,120
really catch it in this show.
And then I know in the like the
234
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,360
spoiler sheet that we got,
because we saw this episode
235
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,800
early, they were like, don't
mention blah, blah, blah about
236
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,520
the shoulders.
And I was like, how do you say
237
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,000
that?
I didn't expect it to spell.
238
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,640
It was.
Spelled quite bizarrely.
239
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,840
Absolutely.
But so finding out that she was
240
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,080
that, but she was still from
like a time, not in current
241
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,560
time.
So it was interesting to see an
242
00:12:13,560 --> 00:12:16,320
alien deal with that vernacular
as well.
243
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,360
But also having Ruby there to
inject the like this isn't
244
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,440
right.
Yeah, let's let's not do this I.
245
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,200
Love that she calls that one
jerk Lord Stilton.
246
00:12:26,680 --> 00:12:30,160
And then he's like Stilton and
and then the Duchess says it's a
247
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,080
very difficult cheese.
So funny.
248
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,400
That was really.
Funny so.
249
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,600
Funny because at first I was
like, that's his name.
250
00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:38,800
I didn't, it's so early in the
episode.
251
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,000
But when she said that was like,
oh, it was a dig.
252
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,680
Yeah, good job and.
I love that it's explained as
253
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:45,280
well.
It's a very difficult cheese.
254
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,000
Ruby and the Doctor in this
episode.
255
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,000
It was really good to see them
together again for a longer
256
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,480
period of time because it's been
like 3 episodes almost where
257
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,560
like we, you know, Ruby was
sleeping in Boom and then the
258
00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:03,520
Doctor was gone and 73 yards and
the last one they were just
259
00:13:03,560 --> 00:13:06,520
Facetiming in.
So it was nice to see them.
260
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:08,880
Even though they did get
separated in this episode.
261
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,440
I loved the moments where they
were just like she was, Oh my
262
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,480
God, like this is so cool.
And there's that thing with the
263
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,840
Doctor where like the companion,
then he's taking to these places
264
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,520
they would have never gone to.
And there's that spirit in him,
265
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,760
that thing that just like
radiates like This is why I do
266
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,520
this.
You know, I save people and help
267
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,960
people, but like, I get to show
people all these wonders that
268
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,640
they would have never seen
before and.
269
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,680
In this particular episode, it
seems like they weren't there
270
00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:39,520
because the Childers were there.
They were there because they
271
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,640
just wanted to go to Bridgeton.
They got an invite to Bath,
272
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,800
England in 1813, and they're
like, sure, let's go, let's do.
273
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,880
It I mean, let's pop in our
little ear buds that will, you
274
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,240
know, let us know all the dances
in the vernacular and we're good
275
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,360
to go.
And it was nice to see them just
276
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,680
having fun.
It was for the first, you know,
277
00:13:55,680 --> 00:13:58,880
5 minutes of the episode, but it
was nice to see them enjoying
278
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,280
each other because that's the
thing, right?
279
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,360
Is that in every season of
Doctor Who?
280
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,200
We're very invested in the
relationship between the Doctor
281
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,120
and the companion, so we need to
see them together in order to
282
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,320
see that grow.
Right.
283
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,920
You know, I'm very happy for
this episode.
284
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,680
Even though Ruby and the Doctor
weren't together a lot, this
285
00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:20,760
episode with the titular name
Rogue had this new character a
286
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,480
part of it and the Doctor right
along with that.
287
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,440
And I felt like because we got
73 yards with Ruby and we really
288
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,120
got to know her a little more,
see her more, we got to see this
289
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,160
layer of the Doctor from in
Chuti's way that we haven't seen
290
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,200
yet.
What did you think about Rogue
291
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,000
and the Doctor?
Well, I mean, it's Pride month,
292
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,840
so I fully support it.
I will say every episode of
293
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:50,360
Doctor Who is gay at some level.
This one real gay.
294
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,120
Oh yeah, so gay I.
Mean it had Kylie Minogue in it.
295
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,440
I literally hold on.
Let me find this in my notes
296
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:02,360
because I I wrote in my notes
Kylie Minogue in all caps.
297
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,160
That's one way to tell if
somebody's gay.
298
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:05,960
I.
Mean and not even that, but just
299
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,280
the doctor just fully body
rolling the entire time while
300
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,400
it's playing.
I mean, it's it's like that
301
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,800
hidden playlist that you don't
want anyone to know about and
302
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,720
then they play it and blast it
did.
303
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:20,760
He ever think that there would
be this Time Lord Temporal being
304
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,080
that came into his ship and
would play his playlist, the one
305
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,360
that he paused and that was the
song he landed.
306
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,640
He's like, But when I scored
this bounty, I'm playing Kylie
307
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,240
Minogue and I'm dancing the hell
out of this.
308
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,720
Absolutely his.
Face, when it came on Jonathan
309
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,320
Cross face, Rogue's face was
just like, oh.
310
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:48,800
No, no, I do have to say I loved
the there was no tiptoeing into
311
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,000
this, right?
It was very much brooding on the
312
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,680
balcony, the doctor going up
there and them just immediately,
313
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,000
I don't know, some sort of space
traveler signals of letting each
314
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,640
other know that they were into
each other.
315
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,360
It it.
Was really interesting because
316
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:08,160
one Jonathan Groff, I feel like
did an amazing job and I hope he
317
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,120
becomes a fan favorite because I
would love to see more of this
318
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:12,880
character.
I don't know how because he's
319
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,200
the doctor's going to have to go
find him.
320
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,520
I hope he comes back because
there is that element of like
321
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,040
other characters in the hooner
verse that we don't have any
322
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,400
more at this point.
And so having this character
323
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,160
that like is a little horny with
the Doctor and just like pops in
324
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,080
and out, but adds that like
bounty hunter aspect of it is so
325
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,600
good.
Don't I know pops?
326
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:38,040
In and out, Noah, this is a
family program.
327
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,520
There's.
An E next to this episode.
328
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,880
OK, explicit.
Yeah.
329
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,160
What was?
Explicit about it What?
330
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,960
Our episodes.
It's like Rogue.
331
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,360
No.
What did I miss?
332
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,240
Yeah.
So I, yeah, there's that element
333
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,800
that I'm that is missing a
little bit.
334
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,120
Like we don't have Captain Jack
anymore.
335
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,720
And my hopes was this could be
the new Jack, but with that like
336
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,720
kind of budding romance or at
least attraction.
337
00:17:05,079 --> 00:17:09,440
I wouldn't necessarily say full
on romance, but like, that's
338
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,839
interesting.
That's new and I like it well.
339
00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:17,079
That was my question for you was
as a Doctor Hugh, Hugh, Doctor
340
00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:20,839
Hugh, just keep going Fan and
leva.
341
00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:24,880
When there is a new character,
are you trusting them?
342
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,359
Are you not trusting them?
What does it feel like when
343
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,120
someone like this appears?
OK, well, let's get into the
344
00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:33,280
rogue of it, all right?
We don't know his name.
345
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,160
It does seem like that's a name,
Like maybe a moniker, right?
346
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,800
The bounty hunter.
Yeah, on 1st watch, when I watch
347
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,720
this, I was like, I love this
character, he's amazing.
348
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,320
They need to get married.
I don't care.
349
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,840
Let's do this, let's go.
I'm sold.
350
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,880
Watching it a second time, I'm
cautious.
351
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:59,880
I think there's a line that the
that Rogue says when they're in
352
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:04,800
the ship, after Kylie Minogue
and after all this stuff and the
353
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,360
Doctor commenting on all of his
untidiness in there, there's
354
00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:12,760
something that he says, he says
he mentions a new boss.
355
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,240
The new boss, you know, wants
blah, blah, blah or something.
356
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:16,600
Yeah, he.
Says this job has so much more
357
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,480
paperwork since we got that new
boss.
358
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:23,920
The only other person that has
said anything about a new boss
359
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,360
or something like that is the
Meep from the Star Beast and
360
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:29,880
also kind of inkling with the
Maestro.
361
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,680
There's this thing of something
else is bigger running things.
362
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:38,320
I don't know if that was just a
line that peeked my ears and
363
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,240
means nothing or it was
something that we were supposed
364
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,040
to catch.
I do find it interesting.
365
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,680
New boss for what usually?
A bounty hunter is like out on
366
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,840
their own, their rogue, you
know, they answered a no one.
367
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,000
So the fact that there's a boss,
I think that is an interesting
368
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,120
line, yeah.
There, because we know there's
369
00:18:54,120 --> 00:18:57,840
this ominous figure somewhere
waiting, the one who waits.
370
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,240
What does that mean?
So that's waiting for.
371
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,040
Paperwork.
That gave me a little
372
00:19:04,360 --> 00:19:06,400
interesting.
And I don't know if it's one of
373
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:12,960
the situations where, you know,
Rogue, his mission maybe is to
374
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,840
hunt the shoulders, but the
Doctor came and that's a bigger
375
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,520
prize.
And then he was like, oh, I'm
376
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,520
just going to capture this guy
or whatever.
377
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,360
But then he actually did start
having feelings.
378
00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:26,800
He was able to open up because
that's the beautiful thing about
379
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,800
this doctor is he's so open.
He's so emotive.
380
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,880
He's so just willing to like
grab and touch and kiss and
381
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,040
everything, and we haven't had
that in a while.
382
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,760
So I'm curious if that took away
that facade.
383
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,120
Almost it.
It's interesting.
384
00:19:41,120 --> 00:19:44,240
I don't know.
One of the things that I'm
385
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,360
thinking about is we learned
that he had a partner at some
386
00:19:48,360 --> 00:19:50,320
point that he would travel
through space with and do all
387
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,120
these jobs with.
But, you know, at first I
388
00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:58,280
thought, oh, the partner died,
but maybe the partner didn't
389
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,560
die.
He just says, I woke up one day
390
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,120
and like, that was the end of
that.
391
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,680
So what happened to the partner?
You know, did he do something to
392
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,320
the partner?
Did the partner not trust him
393
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,840
anymore?
You know, what would happen when
394
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,560
you seem to be in this long term
relationship?
395
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,000
Why did it end?
Yeah.
396
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,520
He said his his words were a day
came along and at the end of
397
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,720
that day I lost them.
And I guess that can be
398
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,480
interpreted any type of way.
It is interesting.
399
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:29,280
I did like these moments because
it is somebody that can relate
400
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,840
on a level that nobody else can
with the Doctor.
401
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:35,480
This guy travels, had a
companion, lost them.
402
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,400
This guy travels, lost a
companion.
403
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,320
You know, it's so it's very much
like that's their bonding.
404
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,480
Is it true?
Again, I feel like on the second
405
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,080
watch, if you've only watched it
once, I do recommend maybe
406
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,440
watching it again because there
are some things where it's like,
407
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,280
that's interesting.
But then we get moments of when
408
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,480
the scandalous thing of two men
dancing in Bridgerton happens
409
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,640
and the lights go out and the
lights are just on them.
410
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,320
There's moments where I'm like,
I believe it.
411
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,640
Like I believe that there is an
attraction, but there's
412
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,800
something of both of them being
like, this could be something
413
00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:13,040
can it, should it is the
question.
414
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,600
I like that.
Moment that they had in the
415
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:20,520
TARDIS where you know he the
Doctor says something like, will
416
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,000
you travel to all these other
planets with me?
417
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,080
And then he says something like,
well we can go on my ship and
418
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,600
you could do all these jobs with
me.
419
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:33,000
We can argue together, you know,
so these two beings that are
420
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:38,760
constantly traveling time and
and galaxies and stars, you
421
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,120
know, how often is it that you
find another male that's
422
00:21:42,120 --> 00:21:44,680
interested in men that does the
same thing that you do?
423
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,720
You know what I mean?
So hopefully outside.
424
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,760
Of earth like sexuality is much
more open fingers.
425
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,560
Crossed, but I don't know man.
There are spacists.
426
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,080
So that's what I'm.
Saying and I don't think, and
427
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,560
you know, going back to last
episode, I don't think any of
428
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,800
them people were queer neither.
Well, no.
429
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:03,920
Probably not, that's what I'm
saying.
430
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:08,240
I do want to say though the the
one that played I believe Gothic
431
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:13,680
Paul maybe is the first trans
man to be casted in Doctor Who.
432
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:18,000
Incredible love that for them.
Hello this.
433
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,160
Season is just paving the way.
Yeah, I love it, you know?
434
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,400
Russell T Davies did say I'm
going to be talking about this,
435
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,080
I'm going to be doing this.
I'm not going to be holding
436
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,200
back.
I'm going to be doing all these
437
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:27,400
things.
He's doing it.
438
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,480
So thank you for that if you're
listening.
439
00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:33,320
But he does.
He does.
440
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,760
But back to Rogue and the
doctor.
441
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,640
Did you find their chemistry to
be believable, or is there
442
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,840
something that gave you pause?
I think in.
443
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,120
The first watch we're really
digging down on the 1st and 2nd
444
00:22:46,120 --> 00:22:48,360
watch in this.
On the 1st watch, I didn't
445
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,480
believe it so much.
I felt like too much happened
446
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,240
too quickly for me to really
fully support it.
447
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,000
I don't trust him for the
Doctor, I don't think they're a
448
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,760
good match.
Wait.
449
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,360
Are you protective of the
doctor?
450
00:23:02,360 --> 00:23:03,440
I don't want him to get.
Hurt.
451
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,840
Which by the way, OK, I'm I'm
just going to get into this now.
452
00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:09,840
The doctor needs therapy Very,
very badly.
453
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:15,080
Very badly.
The the only OK, yes, and I'm
454
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,960
just saying this line 'cause I
feel like some listeners of
455
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,080
Doctor Who would be like, right,
this is supposed to be the
456
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:27,120
Doctor after all the therapy.
So the by regeneration happened
457
00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:30,960
and David Tennant kind of does
all the therapy and this is like
458
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,400
after OK, but when?
The and that's beautiful, but
459
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,600
you don't finish therapy, you
don't graduate from therapy.
460
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,680
I'm in therapy.
There is no cap and gown
461
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,040
ceremony.
I'm just saying you just.
462
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,720
Keep going.
Because what I noticed with this
463
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,160
doctor is that something
horrible happens and then he's
464
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,800
like, fold it up and then I put
it in a box.
465
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,680
Well.
Welcome to Doctor Who, I think.
466
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:58,040
That he could really do well
with sitting down with someone
467
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,200
and talking about things.
I so you're.
468
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,560
Specifically talking about like
literally the last scene with
469
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,280
both of them.
And he's like, OK, on to the
470
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,160
next thing after Rogue is gone,
after everything happened, after
471
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,160
he sent the ship into orbit, and
he's like, OK, next thing, like,
472
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,760
let's not be sad, let's go.
What I did like, though, is that
473
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:19,560
Ruby took a minute and she was
like, no, no, like you're saying
474
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,080
this thing.
I know you need a hug.
475
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,160
And I loved that.
I loved that.
476
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,120
Like he let it happen because
there are some doctors would
477
00:24:26,120 --> 00:24:28,720
just be like, like, OK, fine, we
hugged.
478
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,920
OK, let's go.
But he really kind of leaned
479
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,600
into it, which is nice to see.
But even though he was going
480
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,480
back to his old ways of running,
he took a a moment to be like,
481
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,720
OK, yes, I let me think about
it.
482
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,800
Yeah, I.
Mean, I do also think about the
483
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:49,720
Doctor protecting himself
because a lot of the beings that
484
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,800
he comes in touch with, maybe
something happens to them and so
485
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,120
he can't cry over every single
person that he loses.
486
00:24:57,120 --> 00:24:59,240
He needs to kind of move on.
He will try.
487
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,000
Yeah.
And Chuti's.
488
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,280
Doctor has cried almost every
episode.
489
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,520
Yeah, because he keeps.
Almost killing Ruby in every
490
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,800
episode.
I should say he keeps getting
491
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,920
into situations where Ruby
almost dies in every episode.
492
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,000
He's not doing it, so shifting.
Gears, just a little bit.
493
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,760
What did you think about the
monsters, the villains, the
494
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:24,680
aliens, the Trolder Trolders?
Well, Russell T Davies is
495
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,120
obviously saying that people
that cosplay and go to cons take
496
00:25:28,120 --> 00:25:31,160
it too seriously and it's a life
or death situation.
497
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,720
That's that is the social
commentary of this episode.
498
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,680
He didn't write it, so let's
just.
499
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,160
That's true.
Let's not blame him.
500
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:40,120
You're right.
You're right.
501
00:25:40,120 --> 00:25:44,120
I'm sorry.
So I will say that Kate and
502
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:49,000
Brainy think that.
No, but in in all seriousness,
503
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,040
so fun.
So cool.
504
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:57,040
I mean, I don't know why bird
cosplayers make lightning when
505
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,600
they're sucking the life out of
people, but I don't need to know
506
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,480
why, right?
Because I thought it was so
507
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,720
outlandish and delightful.
Yeah, I agree.
508
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:08,200
I I do find it funny that their
whole game plan was to like
509
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,840
start here at this ball and then
take over the world, But I love
510
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,600
that they're not subtle at all.
Like if it does seem like
511
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,040
they're just playing and they
don't give a shit because they
512
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:24,120
would just lightning, which is I
like it because it's different.
513
00:26:24,120 --> 00:26:26,560
It'd be one thing to just like
hold somebody and do like a
514
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,480
rogue and just like suck their
essence and their look, but the
515
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:35,200
lightning made it like, OK, this
is like different, not subtle at
516
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,200
all.
So that was fun.
517
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,520
I thought they looked fantastic.
That is one thing with all of
518
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,600
these episodes so far as the
quality has not dipped in the
519
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,440
costuming and the effects and
the sound and the music.
520
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,520
It is all have been so
consistent.
521
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,600
Watch older Who and it's like
this.
522
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,840
That looked weird, but this
fantastic.
523
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,560
I love the way they looked.
Yeah, I was.
524
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,280
Really marvelling over.
Obviously they were each based
525
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,440
on a different type of bird, and
I was marvelling at the
526
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,480
featherwork on their faces.
I mean, they're cowls that they
527
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,080
were wearing, had full, you
know, single feathers in it.
528
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,200
It wasn't just like something
that was painted on.
529
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:13,760
You can tell there was real
feathers there.
530
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,080
I mean, it was incredible.
Yeah.
531
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,880
And I believe.
Pam Down had did the costuming
532
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,480
for this season.
I believe.
533
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,120
They're just kind of did the
whole thing.
534
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,640
I think they got the Burgerton
look down perfectly.
535
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,280
There could have been more
extravagant wigs, but I'm just,
536
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,120
I'm sure the wig budget is like,
not in it for Doctor, Yeah.
537
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,200
The, I mean, the, the
extravagant, extravagant wigs
538
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,440
are for the queen when she's
there.
539
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,360
So they didn't have a queen
here, right?
540
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,640
But I think that they must have
the prosthetics on the shoulders
541
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,800
probably cost a lot.
And I also like the idea of then
542
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,760
me like, OK, so you need to
dress all these extras and then
543
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,440
we have some bird humanoids that
also need to be in Bridgerton
544
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:54,400
garb.
Why not?
545
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:59,320
And I agree, what a creative.
Task for her to have to tackle,
546
00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:02,760
yeah.
All right, so getting into kind
547
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,800
of the conclusion of this
episode.
548
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,120
So they're cosplayers, they love
the drama, they feed off of it.
549
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:11,720
They can't help but expose
themselves, the shoulders with
550
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,640
drama.
So after the scandalous gay
551
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,680
dance of two men and then
creating a scene and proposing
552
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:23,640
the proposal, proposal, which I
loved how it took the Doctor by
553
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,360
surprise.
He kept trying to get Rogue to
554
00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:27,000
play into it.
And then when he got on the
555
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,720
knee, the Doctor was like, oh,
that felt real.
556
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,360
To me, the proposal, it did feel
real.
557
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:37,360
Which is interesting, I know
ahead of this episode we had
558
00:28:37,360 --> 00:28:40,240
asked and everything on on
social media like any final
559
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,880
thoughts or anything like you
think is going to happen in the
560
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:44,480
show.
And a lot of people were like,
561
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,040
it's going to be another Time
Lord, it's going to be a
562
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,320
fugitive Dr. it's going to be
another incarnation of the
563
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:50,600
Doctor, it's going to be this
and that.
564
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,000
And that would have been
interesting.
565
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:58,080
But as far as we know, it's not.
So the fact that like he did do
566
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:04,800
that to create a scene, but how
personal it felt is interesting.
567
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,760
What they were playing up in
that scene was kind of the
568
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,400
scandal of it all, Like, I'm not
going to give up my life for
569
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,160
you.
And for a rogue to go in the
570
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,200
complete opposite direction of
getting down on one knee and
571
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,400
making it a tender moment.
He the doctor.
572
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,160
Literally says before he does
that, tell me what your heart
573
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,520
wants or I will turn my back on
you forever.
574
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,840
And then he gets on his knee.
And we were trying to.
575
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,040
So because of how we watch this
episode, there's a big like kind
576
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,520
of watermark on the on the
episode.
577
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,600
So behind the scenes stuff, we
had a hard time seeing what was
578
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,600
on the ring because of course
the watermark was right there.
579
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:46,240
I think it's a dagger, which is
like rogue dagger.
580
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,280
It looks like a dagger, but it's
it's a very weird looking
581
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,920
dagger.
So if any of you got a better
582
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,320
look at it while listening to
this episode, let us know what
583
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:56,880
you think that is.
It's a.
584
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:58,960
It's a Susan twist.
It's a spring.
585
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:00,960
It does look like a.
Twist though, right?
586
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,480
There's always A twist at the
end.
587
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,200
Whoa.
But seeing them run around
588
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:12,640
holding hands, it was just, you
know, as a queer Doctor Who fan,
589
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:17,400
seeing the Doctor really fully
be queer in this moment, we
590
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,960
almost got it.
We almost got it with 13 and
591
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,360
Yaz.
There's a moment and Jodie
592
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,240
Whittaker sees them where
there's they're they're at their
593
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,520
like kind of end of whatever's
happening with the show.
594
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,800
And Yaz tells her feelings to
her and the Doctor's like, I
595
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,160
would be with you.
But because of the episode and
596
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,160
because everything happening,
she knows she can't.
597
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,160
So it's like we almost got like
that queer relationship with
598
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,800
Doctor Who.
So to finally see some form of
599
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,720
that actually be acted out made
me very happy and not to go.
600
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,760
To blue right now, but I feel
like there was a lot of play on
601
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,840
like sort of, I don't know,
things like men having a pissing
602
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,360
contest, right.
It was kind of like the doctors
603
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,600
like well I have my Sonic
screwdriver and he's like, well
604
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,960
I have a big pistol and he's
like what's that shed?
605
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,240
He's like that's my ship.
He's like I'll show you a ship.
606
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,600
Look at my big flirting.
Yeah.
607
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,200
And then they go in.
And he's like, your ship's
608
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,440
disgusting.
It's a mess.
609
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:13,920
He's like, let's go into my
ship.
610
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,440
And he's like, now this is a
ship.
611
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,000
Sleek, sturdy.
But it does make some weird
612
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,000
noises every once in a while.
Ignore it.
613
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,680
Yeah, but something's up with
the TARDIS, obviously.
614
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:27,760
Still, Yeah, yeah, it's doing
that weird groaning thing.
615
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:28,680
It did.
It did make.
616
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,560
A really weird noise which he
was like, oh, it just doesn't
617
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,040
like the ethicalness of whatever
is happening.
618
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,760
I don't believe that something's
weird with the TARDIS.
619
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,320
Yeah, but I.
Appreciated all the little word
620
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,160
play about their ships and their
weapons and things like that and
621
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,640
what they can do.
And obviously the rogue is also
622
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,640
a bit of a geek because he plays
Dungeons and Dragons.
623
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,840
Yeah, right.
So there's something about him.
624
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,560
Like, what is his deal?
The the mystery of the rogue is
625
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,840
still there, but we're peeling
it back piece by piece, trying
626
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,160
to figure it out.
The greed.
627
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:03,800
So spaceship sizes aside,
queerness aside, I liked the
628
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,880
bait and switch of this episode.
I thought they did a really good
629
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,320
job because one, I think they
played with us a little too much
630
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,800
of like Ruby screaming and we've
seen the lightning.
631
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:17,680
I was like, oh damn, he actually
got her and it with it being so
632
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:22,240
close to the end of this season,
I was like, this can't be how
633
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,760
like Ruby like she can't die
this way.
634
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,360
How is he going to get her back?
It wasn't it was the the
635
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,480
earrings like helped her.
But in that moment when he
636
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,800
realizes, Oh my God, this is
Ruby.
637
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,760
She's not gone.
What do I do?
638
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,080
Impossible decisions for the
doctor.
639
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,840
It's like the chef's kiss of the
series.
640
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,880
But also I hate seeing him in
those situations.
641
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,440
It's like.
He's got to learn to make
642
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,720
devices where he doesn't have
just one chance to do things,
643
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,400
you know?
I mean, when he's fixing the
644
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,640
device, making it big enough
instead of one person to six
645
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,400
people, it's like, OK, but you
only have one chance.
646
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,440
Like, Doctor, you got to stop
doing this.
647
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,880
You know it's.
For us, it's for the stakes.
648
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,680
Is it for us?
Because I find it frustrating
649
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,160
because I think they're just
going to kill Ruby and they
650
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,000
don't care them showing.
That flashback with him talking
651
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,160
to Carla and she's like, promise
me that you'll keep her safe.
652
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:14,520
And he's like, yeah, I I
promise.
653
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,240
How dare you?
You know what?
654
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,480
He rude.
Yeah, he should learn to stop
655
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:23,680
leaving Ruby by herself.
He had a hot Jonathan Groff, I
656
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,560
think.
Every once in a while, you know,
657
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,480
look, a good gay should find
their bestie and always just
658
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,000
check on her and make sure she's
OK.
659
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,600
That's true.
Right, but she did survive like
660
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:37,200
decades by herself.
He doesn't know that she had
661
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:38,920
those goblins.
Following her around for a
662
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,640
while, She's a doc, had an easy
life.
663
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,680
And then that Lady.
Oh my God, Susan.
664
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,920
Twist.
She's around still.
665
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,680
Oh my God.
Do you think that we will see
666
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,480
Rogue again?
Do you think he's going to find
667
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,520
him if he's actually lost?
OK.
668
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,120
You.
So this would be, I think,
669
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:02,280
homophobic because you cannot
give us the first fully queer
670
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,960
Doctor Who kiss and then have it
never happen again.
671
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,600
True, and have that love.
And just completely disappear.
672
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,679
Hey, I hope.
For the doctor's sake, he does
673
00:34:11,679 --> 00:34:12,719
find.
I think he's going to be
674
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,560
wearing.
That ring, I think he's going to
675
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,840
be twisting it.
I think he's going to put Kylie
676
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,520
Minogue on that little jukebox
inside the TARDIS and he's going
677
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:21,920
to be thinking about him
constantly.
678
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:24,520
Sad.
Come on.
679
00:34:25,159 --> 00:34:28,920
Sending his ship up to the moon.
He should get in the ship, dig
680
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,480
around, find his real name out,
maybe do some DNA tracing or
681
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,000
something like that.
He should, but.
682
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,440
We have two episodes left and we
don't have time for that.
683
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,360
Yeah, ridiculous.
So, final thoughts on this
684
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,280
episode.
I really enjoyed it.
685
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,840
Bridgerton, if at all.
The acting, the moments of the
686
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,639
Doctor in complete distress and
making those decisions.
687
00:34:48,639 --> 00:34:52,639
Will you, you know, sacrifice
your friend to save the world.
688
00:34:52,639 --> 00:34:56,480
Why are you asking him that?
And for him to say no, I mean,
689
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,880
he's at the point where he's
like, how many companions, how
690
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:02,200
many best friends have I lost?
People that I've loved.
691
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,440
I can't keep doing this.
Yeah, I love.
692
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,440
I I love it.
You know, I think this episode
693
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,920
came at the right time before we
get into the two parter.
694
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,160
Yeah, I think that.
Thinking about the Rogue
695
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:19,400
character, kind of tying up my
thoughts on him in that moment
696
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,120
where he's kissing the Doctor.
We're all thinking that he's
697
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,680
going to press the button and
send Ruby to that other
698
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,560
universe.
But what he does is he ends up
699
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,960
sacrificing himself and he says
find me.
700
00:35:30,240 --> 00:35:34,680
So maybe Rogue doesn't actually
know who he's working for in the
701
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,360
sense of he know he's he knows
he has a new boss, but he
702
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,720
doesn't know what he's doing and
that he's out to get the Doctor
703
00:35:39,720 --> 00:35:43,040
in some way.
So we can trust Rogue, but Rogue
704
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,320
doesn't know that he can't trust
who he's working for.
705
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,600
Yeah.
It's interesting.
706
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,560
And Rogue did see his true
nature.
707
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,760
He did see that he was a Time
Lord and his other faces were
708
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,400
there other faces.
There was a moment and another
709
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,320
moment that I keep thinking
about Rogue, like, I hope he's
710
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,760
good and I hope maybe he wasn't
good and he's like, I, the
711
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,080
Doctor changed me in some way.
But when he saw David Tennant's
712
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:10,240
face, he just went, he like gave
a weird look, like he
713
00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:12,080
immediately took his his finger
off.
714
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,440
Like that was the person that
was the face that we saw or
715
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,400
whoever, and was like, find this
person.
716
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,560
And maybe once he saw that, he
was like, that's the person I'm
717
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:26,480
supposed to find or.
Or was that Doctor the person he
718
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,680
was travelling the stars with?
Was he once a companion?
719
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,280
And one day.
Our dude was gone.
720
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,000
How dare he never say anything
about him.
721
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,520
I mean, that's true.
That's a good point too.
722
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,680
It does happen.
There's adventures, he's always
723
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,760
travelling.
So stuff that we haven't seen so
724
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,640
much.
So going off of the next time
725
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:52,040
for the penultimate episode of
Doctor Who season 14 season one,
726
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,760
whatever you want to call it,
what do you think?
727
00:36:54,720 --> 00:36:56,880
I think we're going to finally
get some answers.
728
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:58,400
We have to.
Right.
729
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,720
It starts with there's this
woman, she's following me
730
00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:02,880
everywhere I go.
And we see Susan twist and it
731
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,760
seems like she's on some type of
like stage or like there's an
732
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,640
audience that can watch
whatever's happening.
733
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:12,120
And she's like, it's always in
my dreams or I, I can't remember
734
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:15,600
the exact words, but we get a
flash of like her face changing
735
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:20,640
into some weird like black
crowned thing is Susan.
736
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:24,680
Twist an author, and they're
stuck in her intergalactic book.
737
00:37:26,720 --> 00:37:29,680
Right, because.
They're always seeing her and
738
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,040
she's like, they're always
there.
739
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:35,080
It's always there, yeah.
It looks like UNIT is definitely
740
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,600
involved.
We saw Kate, we saw Bush, we saw
741
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,840
all of them.
Kate Bush.
742
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:45,560
Was that all there?
No Kylie Minogue.
743
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,920
There.
Lady Gaga, there, there.
744
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,040
Oh, there's so much.
So let us know.
745
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:56,560
Send your thoughts at
us.dm.us.abonipples@gmail.com.
746
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,040
What are your thoughts going
into the finale?
747
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:04,400
2 weeks left guys, I can't.
Believe it, that's another end,
748
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,800
all right.
So till next week.
749
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:07,160
Bye.
