00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,720
Hey, I'm Derek.
And I'm Noah.
2
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:03,680
And you're listening to A Bite
of.
3
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,480
Where we take our current
favorite pop culture obsession
4
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,960
and enjoy it one level at a
time.
5
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:22,120
Big Explosive Nemo Doctor Who
Episode 3 Boom Boom Boom.
6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,520
I want you in my room.
We did it together.
7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,560
You kind of did it, so be
warned.
8
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,080
I'm just going to put this right
up front.
9
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,360
The first two episodes of this
new Doctor Who season we did
10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,240
spoiler free.
From now on, they're all going
11
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,240
to be spoiler spoiler spoiler
spoiler spoiler spoiler.
12
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,280
So we're going to be talking
about the new episode.
13
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,680
We're also going to kind of go
in the TARDIS a little bit and
14
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,960
back up before we get into the
new one and just mention some
15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,200
things that we literally it was
written on a document.
16
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,600
Do not mention these things.
We're going to go back and
17
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,320
mention them just a little bit
in case you wanted to hear our
18
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,680
thoughts, but also I want to get
them out.
19
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,160
Yeah, we've been holding in
these secrets.
20
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,560
It's too much.
We have to lift them free.
21
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,760
We're coming out of the closet.
We're expressing ourselves.
22
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,520
Out of the TARDIS?
Yes, with all the secrets from
23
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,280
episode one and two.
That everyone knows now.
24
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,440
Yeah, well they don't know what
we said.
25
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,800
So before we get into all of
that, you know, follow us on all
26
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,600
the socials.
Make sure you're following the
27
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,320
pod, Make sure you're
subscribed.
28
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:25,920
Whichever platforms that you do
that you guys watching it on
29
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,520
YouTube and or Spotify, make
sure you're following us.
30
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,760
That way you get notifications
with new episodes.
31
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:37,080
We do have the finale of X-Men
97 releasing after this one, so
32
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,160
Monday, Tuesday.
I don't remember what day we
33
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,960
release it, but it's one of
those days.
34
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,400
Sometime after this, yes.
So we're starting Doctor Who,
35
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,240
but we're finishing X-Men, and
we have quite a big surprise
36
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,480
coming up at some point down the
line.
37
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,800
That has to do with Doctor Who,
you'll see.
38
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,360
I feel like this is the one of
the first times that like two
39
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,240
different properties have
intercepted where we're like
40
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,640
finishing one but also beginning
one at the same time.
41
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,560
Timey wimey.
Holy smokes, look at us go.
42
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,759
So proud of us.
So make sure you're doing all
43
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:11,520
those good things, Patreon.
We are going to be going back to
44
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,160
2000s to the black leather X-Men
movies, so that's going to be
45
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,640
fun.
The road to Deadpool and
46
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:23,880
Wolverine starts now.
OK, and that's it.
47
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:29,720
So let's first talk about the
things that we've wanted to talk
48
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,320
about.
So one and two.
49
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,000
So space babies and the devil's
chord.
50
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,680
OK, so spoilers.
Yeah.
51
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,680
Now officially, yes.
So what are some things you've
52
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,520
been wanting to really talk
about?
53
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:50,880
OK, so one, there is this
mysterious woman that is popping
54
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,680
up since this Christmas.
Special to now all of the Ruby
55
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,840
episodes, there is this
mysterious woman and she's
56
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,320
always credited as Susan Twist.
I have no theories.
57
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,480
I just need to say it and put it
out there.
58
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,360
I I mean, I have theories of
like maybe it is the Doctor's
59
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,120
granddaughter that regenerated.
Maybe it's another Pantheon
60
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,080
member, like the maestro and toy
maker.
61
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,320
Who knows, But it is here.
It's very weird, and especially
62
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,960
in I'm already talking about
episode 3, but I feel like in
63
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,560
those first three it was kind of
glimpses of Susan twist, right?
64
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:29,480
But in this one, she feels like
more of an ominous presence.
65
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,520
Well, I think as they go on,
they're going to show us more
66
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,520
like, hey, this woman is in it,
while the other ones, it was
67
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,480
very quick.
It was like giving tea or she
68
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,440
was just in the bar, so, you
know, quick glimpses.
69
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,560
Yeah, I I have no theories
either.
70
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,240
But again, this is one of those
mysteries that I think we're
71
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,720
just going to keep building on
as the season goes.
72
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,200
Another one of these mysteries
that I want to talk about that
73
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,160
we got to see.
You know, we were talking about
74
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,120
motifs and things that are
running through this entire
75
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,040
season so far, and we keep
having these moments where Ruby
76
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:05,400
is either attacked or stunned,
and when she's frozen, snow
77
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,240
starts to fall.
Yeah, it's it's interesting.
78
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,400
It started with space babies and
it was in Devil's court and it's
79
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,960
in boom, so we keep getting the
snow.
80
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:17,920
I did see.
I just want to put this out
81
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,760
there.
It was a wild theory that
82
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,480
somebody had said something
about like maybe somewhere
83
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,240
somebody made commercial time
travel and this is like a Truman
84
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,120
situation and like the snow is
static.
85
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,800
So that's a wild theory, right.
Snow is only related to her
86
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,280
because of her birth, of when
the Doctor found her or when her
87
00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:40,600
story started really when there
was left on the church.
88
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:44,080
I couldn't even tell you what
this would possibly mean.
89
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,280
Like, is it actually Snow?
Is it a manifestation of a time
90
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:49,480
where you know everything
started for her?
91
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,040
I don't know.
Like this season of Doctor Who,
92
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,200
I can't tell you.
Yeah, it's all new things, all
93
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,160
new villains and this like
through line of the Companion
94
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,880
with a built in mystery already.
Yeah, it really does seem to
95
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,960
keep reminding us of when she
was left at the church.
96
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,320
Don't forget, it was the winter,
it was Christmas, there was snow
97
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,640
there.
So it feels very much like a
98
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,800
finite point in time that we
must always be reminded of.
99
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,120
I mean, I'm even now.
Throwing out is Susan Twist,
100
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,320
possibly the woman that left
her.
101
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,760
Possibly at the church.
It's one of those things where I
102
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,240
think a crazy theory is if Susan
twist or whatever, you know, if
103
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,080
she is the Doctor's
granddaughter and Ruby is
104
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,960
potentially her daughter, that
would make Ruby the Doctor's
105
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,080
great, great granddaughter.
So this, this season seems to
106
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,640
have a lot of things with music,
a lot of things with family.
107
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,040
I don't know like I it's gonna
it, it will connect.
108
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,440
I'm just really curious to see
how.
109
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,200
Yeah, because even with the
maestro being from what we could
110
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:01,080
tell is the offspring of the toy
maker, And there's more, and
111
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,800
there's people above the toy
maker that are more powerful.
112
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,400
The one who waits is a great
example of another mystery, the
113
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,240
Golden Tooth with the master who
picked it up.
114
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,280
And it it seems like Maestro was
kind of even struck by Ruby.
115
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,880
Oh, terrified, right.
And the fact that Maestro hasn't
116
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,160
seen anything like this.
There's a hidden song.
117
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,080
There's a hidden.
Song.
118
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,320
Right.
And so the fact that Maestro,
119
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,680
who is so powerful and has
basically stolen all the music
120
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,960
in the world, has come into
contact with Ruby and is
121
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,160
completely puzzled by them as
well, I mean, it's a big
122
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,760
question mark for everyone.
Yeah.
123
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,240
And they, I think they also said
something like, why was he there
124
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:41,800
that day?
Something like that.
125
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,680
So there's a lot of mysteries,
right?
126
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,200
These were things that we
couldn't say.
127
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:47,880
And I just want to, like, put
them out there.
128
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,840
That way when we're talking
about them the rest of the
129
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:52,040
season, it's not like we never
brought them up.
130
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,200
Yeah.
Yeah, One another thing I want
131
00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:57,640
to mention that probably won't
make an appearance in the rest
132
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,440
of the season is that in space?
Babies.
133
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,080
Nanny.
Said about like 30-4 times in
134
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,600
that episode.
Is that nanny was actually Queen
135
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,520
Charlotte from Bridget 10.
Yeah, Bridget 10.
136
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,840
And.
The one thing that if you have
137
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,160
not noticed, listeners that have
been with us for a long time, if
138
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,080
what we're covering has accents
thus, then Derek does have an
139
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,080
accent.
It might not be the correct
140
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,800
accent, but there will be an
accent and there's actually, OK,
141
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,960
this is getting in the weeds,
but there is, there's a long
142
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:35,960
lost Patreon episode where Noah
and I cover the first season of
143
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,560
Bridgeton and take a Bridgeton
quiz that we never released.
144
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:44,240
We just weren't happy with it.
So me saying Bridgeton makes
145
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,760
sense to me because we did say
it in a long last episode, but
146
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:50,600
it makes no sense to you that
was.
147
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,400
Very early on.
Yes, it was.
148
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,560
It was.
It was in our makeshift
149
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,320
recording studio of blankets.
So, I mean, I don't really have
150
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,960
much to say about space babies,
only that it's literally just a
151
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,520
sillier version of the movie
Aliens, which I did say already,
152
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,960
but with the monster being
boogies, it's just amazing.
153
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,000
I thought it was super silly.
Yeah, it was an interesting
154
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,080
introduction too, with
everybody.
155
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,640
It's like they just kind of
started and within the third
156
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,480
episode realizing, oh, Ruby's
never even been to another
157
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,120
planet yet.
Yeah, crazy.
158
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:30,000
I If there's one, if there's one
character from Space Babies that
159
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,760
I want to return, it's Captain
Poppy.
160
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,880
Oh yeah.
That Angel they might.
161
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,400
I would love it.
Who knows?
162
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,760
So, anything else before we move
on to episode 3?
163
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,919
No, nothing that's sticking out
necessarily.
164
00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:43,760
Yeah, luckily.
Luckily for The Beatles, The
165
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,000
Doctor and Ruby were there to
save them, so that's good.
166
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,520
Yeah, The Beatles.
The Beatles.
167
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,440
Yeah, yeah, totally.
All right, so should we do it?
168
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,720
All right, let us officially
take a bite of Doctor Who
169
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:01,280
Episode 3, Boom, directed by
Julie Ann Robinson and written
170
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,360
by Steven Moffitt.
Rushing to help a person in
171
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,720
trouble, the Doctor accidentally
steps on a landmine on the
172
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,120
war-torn planet Kasterian 3.
In order to not fully trigger
173
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,600
the explosive, he must stay
calm, keep his balance, and
174
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,120
figure out the mystery of what
this war is all about.
175
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,560
Trying to keep him safe, Ruby
gets caught in the crosshairs of
176
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:26,160
the battle, and a roving
ambulance does more harm than
177
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,160
good.
Dun Dun Dun.
178
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,080
Kiss.
Kiss.
179
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,040
So, broad strokes, general
thoughts of this episode.
180
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,160
This is a very weird analogy,
and I feel like it's very
181
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,000
specific, but great watching
this episode.
182
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:49,800
If you've ever gone to an Off
Broadway play performance and
183
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,600
there's just a character
standing in the middle of the
184
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,400
stage and they have all of your
attention and everything they're
185
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,480
saying is filling the entire
space, That's what this episode
186
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,400
felt like.
I felt like it was starring
187
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,440
Chuti Gatwa.
He was at the epicenter of
188
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,880
everything and every word.
He said I could not hang on
189
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:16,240
anymore.
Yeah, yeah, I I this it it gives
190
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,360
me flashbacks to watching the
episode Midnight with David
191
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,520
Tennant's Doctor.
It all takes place in a train.
192
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,400
That's the entire thing.
All of the cast is in there.
193
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,400
It even got made into a play
because of just how well it's
194
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,560
written.
I love this episode.
195
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:35,080
I'm just putting that out there
right now.
196
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,200
Final review stamp of approval.
Steven Moffat did it.
197
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,840
It's been like what, 7 years
since he wrote anything for
198
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,200
Doctor Who.
He actually started in Russell T
199
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,880
Davies doing some episodes and
then he became showrunner for
200
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,960
11:00 and 12:00.
So he's great.
201
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,760
He's great with these like one
off episodes.
202
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,600
He did some of the ones that are
like Blink, which is a the
203
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,840
famous Doctor Who episode.
I feel like people that don't
204
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,680
watch it know about that one.
I that was the first one I think
205
00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:04,240
I showed you.
Yep, absolutely.
206
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,200
I want to get him into it.
He'll like this one.
207
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,160
And what's interesting of just
like being a geek and being in
208
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,800
like the GEICO sphere, you know,
on social media, I've seen
209
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,960
people dress as those angels and
cosplay as them, and it's always
210
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,200
kind of just been popping up.
So it was really nice to see
211
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,600
what it was all based on.
Yeah, I mean he he created the
212
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,320
the Weeping Angels and amazing
creature.
213
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,840
He also did The Empty Child.
He did the Doctor that dances
214
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,200
the girl in the fireplace.
I mean, he's written some of the
215
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,880
episodes of Doctor Who and a lot
of times he creates these
216
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,080
monsters or aliens or these
creatures.
217
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,400
And in this one, I love that he
didn't do that.
218
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:47,440
The the thing was, how does he
figure out how to do anything
219
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,680
without doing anything?
The Doctor couldn't move, he
220
00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:52,720
couldn't move his hands, He
couldn't do anything except for
221
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,760
speak and cry.
But putting the Doctor in the
222
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,920
situation, like backing him into
a corner a lot of times, that's
223
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:03,200
when you let the Doctor shine.
And this being in the third
224
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,840
episode, let shootie.
I mean, if you had doubts that
225
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,840
he was the Doctor, come on, like
the speeches, the emotion, the
226
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:17,120
figuring out, the wit, knowing
how heavy a urn or canister or
227
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:22,120
that compressed body was just by
smelted, smelted just by, like,
228
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,120
lightly tossing it.
That's the Doctor.
229
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,560
Yeah, I so I have a question.
As someone who is a long time
230
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:30,920
Doctor Who fan, I feel like we
got three different types of
231
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,680
Doctor Who episodes in these
first three, right.
232
00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:38,040
We had zany space adventure, we
had historic action, and then we
233
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:43,360
had future war with commentary
on society.
234
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:48,360
So are you, are you grateful for
these switches between types of
235
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,160
episodes?
Is there one you gravitate
236
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,760
towards more?
This is Doctor Who.
237
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,440
This is what it's about, right?
It it's it's having a through
238
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,880
line, having this big
overarching story with this
239
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,320
character that you know and love
in their spaceship and then each
240
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,960
week going to a different place
and what happens?
241
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,640
It always does, Yeah.
I think this episode, I actually
242
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,880
really thought about it
consciously and it's like with
243
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,400
what happens with Ruby in this,
right?
244
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,960
It's like she's like pretty much
dying.
245
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,840
And I was thinking, I'm like,
but they're they're then they're
246
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,440
going to go back into the TARDIS
and like keep going.
247
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,720
And if I was Ruby, I'd like can
I just like go home for like 2
248
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,120
seconds?
I almost died.
249
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,600
Like, just keep.
Doing it, which I mean I
250
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,040
probably would too, but like I
would need like a little tiny
251
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,960
break.
I think one of the things that's
252
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,000
so interesting to me about the
Doctor's relationship with the
253
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:44,480
Companion is that I feel like
the relationship building, a lot
254
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,480
of it happens in the time
between episodes, right?
255
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:48,960
Right.
We don't know how long they've
256
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,880
been travelling between each
episode.
257
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,840
And at the start of this
episode, you know, we see him
258
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,440
running out because he hears
someone in distress and you
259
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,400
know, Ruby's left behind.
Like, OK, here he goes again.
260
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,320
I'll just lock up the TARDIS
behind him.
261
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,520
It's not a big deal.
So there's there's so much of a
262
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,360
relationship that's been built
between the two that we're
263
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,200
seeing it sort of growing Fast
forward for our eyes, but
264
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,040
there's stuff happening in
between that we don't even know
265
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,800
about.
Well, I was happy for this
266
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,880
episode that we actually got to
see them act on that, right?
267
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,240
Because there there is.
They do have adventures in
268
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:26,120
between the ones that we see,
right, And how much he cares for
269
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,200
her.
We really saw it in this
270
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,080
episode.
And like whenever she has to
271
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,680
give him the urn to
counterbalance his weight so he
272
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,960
can put his foot down how he
really was.
273
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,200
Like, you're brilliant, you're
brave, you're important, you're
274
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,520
all of these things.
And like, we haven't really seen
275
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,400
that yet with these two.
And I was grateful for that
276
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,640
because we needed to know that
they carry about each other as
277
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,480
much as we care about them.
Yes, it's a very important step
278
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,000
for the Doctor and Companion.
Yeah.
279
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,120
And I think that even just
looking at that word, companion,
280
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,400
right, it's not assistant, it's
not Sidekick, it's their
281
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,840
companion.
There's so much more to that
282
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,480
word.
It really is someone that
283
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,720
there's a close bond with.
And we get to see that in this
284
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,760
episode, especially in how much
he cares for her and knowing
285
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,680
that he is sort of trapped in
this moment.
286
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,800
He doesn't want to bring her
into it, but she cares for him
287
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,120
so much.
She's willing to put her life on
288
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,480
the line and saying, well, I'm
in this with you, so we have to
289
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,640
get through this together.
Yeah, so, I mean, he's on a
290
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,160
landmine, right?
And so he can't do anything.
291
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:31,760
And on top of having them show
that they really care about each
292
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,640
other, I really liked seeing
Ruby push back at him.
293
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,400
So in again, the same scene
where she has to hand them the
294
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,000
urn, he's like, just toss it to
me and she's like, no, I'm going
295
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,800
to hand it to you.
And he's like, well, you could
296
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:45,480
die, you're going to be too
close.
297
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,360
And she combats him a little
bit.
298
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,200
And I I like that in a companion
where it's like, yes, you're
299
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,440
clever, you're a clever man.
But trust me on this, like, I
300
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,200
can do this.
Yeah, you might be able to know
301
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,960
the weight of something by
looking at it, but like can, I'm
302
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:06,360
sure footed, I earned it to you.
When when she first said no, in
303
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,520
my mind I'm like, well, I know
that if I were the companion and
304
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,600
someone asked me to throw them
something from this far away, it
305
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,640
would not go well.
So you're more and like I know
306
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,840
in my ability I can't throw it
right.
307
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,800
What I got going for me?
Humor.
308
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,600
Heart throwing?
No, not one of them.
309
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,200
That's why we're doing a
podcast.
310
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,120
Not in sports, exactly.
I don't even know if I can
311
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:33,480
throw, but but I agree, and I
and I think that I like seeing
312
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,200
her stand her ground and show
who she truly is.
313
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,080
You know, we're finding out who
Ruby is through this journey as
314
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,000
as she is, but there's a piece
of Ruby that we don't know
315
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,400
about, and so we're getting to
see it come alive.
316
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:51,160
This episode, it being in
central location, really liked.
317
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,720
I liked that even though the set
like they have the mouse money,
318
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,520
right, the set was ugly, like it
was just like it could have.
319
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,040
Been a green screen it.
Could have been there probably
320
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,800
was some, but I liked that it
was simple because we really
321
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,720
needed to focus on these
characters because shootie and
322
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,440
merely gave a performance.
I know in our initial review
323
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,920
that we have posted on social
media, I had said something
324
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:19,359
along the lines of this is like
Shootie's doctor defining
325
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:24,480
performance like this was just
amazing and being able to convey
326
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,040
the fear.
The even when there's jokes
327
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,840
being said, he still can convey
like that, That tremble in his
328
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,640
left, the quick tears that are
falling down years so good, and
329
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,880
also being able to give like an
impassioned speech, well, not
330
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,320
really moving.
Yeah.
331
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,200
And and you know, there's it's
finding that balance of the
332
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,520
Doctor of needing to be in
control of the situation, but
333
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,520
also not knowing what the
situation is.
334
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,040
And I think that shooting really
brought that to life.
335
00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:55,080
He's, he's calculating what's
going on as he has one foot on
336
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,880
this landmine.
He's putting the pieces together
337
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,880
and we're seeing him work
through all that.
338
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,080
And the beauty is, is that in
Shootie's performance, it's not
339
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,080
running across the room grabbing
this, grabbing that.
340
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,880
It's being in one place and
we're just watching his face,
341
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,880
right, knowing that he's, he's
doing the work.
342
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,520
Yeah, he can't do the the
frantic Dr. Run right?
343
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,520
Like they just.
Do run around the Tardis and
344
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,560
buttons and pull levers and
stuff like that.
345
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,040
You can't move, no.
So we talked about the landmine
346
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,280
quite a bit.
So let's generally talk about
347
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,520
this episode, right.
So it's Valengard.
348
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,000
Valengard is it's been in Doctor
Who history.
349
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,400
It is exactly what they said.
It's like, I don't know if the
350
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,880
correct way to say it, but it's
like a, a manufacturing planet
351
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,360
that creates weapons.
And like the Doctor said in this
352
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:42,800
episode, they're the biggest
weapons manufacturer in recorded
353
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,240
history.
They have actually gone there
354
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,840
before in past seasons.
I think most recently it was 12
355
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,360
that went there.
There was a a Dalek named Rusty
356
00:18:52,360 --> 00:18:55,520
who is a good Dalek, but he
doesn't want to be called the
357
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,120
good Dalek.
So they're, they're kind of
358
00:18:58,120 --> 00:19:01,520
mysterious in that, but they
manufacture weapons, right?
359
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,080
And I think the premise of this
episode being so simple, but
360
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,560
then adding, he didn't have to
Add all the commentary, right?
361
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:13,120
He didn't have to add that, like
the AI algorithm is keeping you
362
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:16,280
dying so you can keep buying,
Like making sure you're killing
363
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,760
the right type of people and not
helping them or giving them care
364
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,760
so that way they can then keep
fighting is insane.
365
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,920
Yeah, the the war commentary,
the war for profit commentary I
366
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,560
thought was really well done in
this, and I'm glad that Steven
367
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,680
Moffat was the person to handle
that.
368
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:37,400
Yeah, I think that it needs to
be a person who is skilled in
369
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,480
crafting a story because there
really was so many layers to
370
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,240
this, right?
You could take it at the top
371
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:44,680
layer and be like it's about
war.
372
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:49,240
Oh, it's about family.
But then even when you see the
373
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:55,400
Marines, they have the collars
like a priest would have, and so
374
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,360
we learn that they are ordained
Anglican Marines.
375
00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:01,800
I'm glad you said it because I
had a hard time saying I was
376
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,960
like Pelican.
So Anglican means anything that
377
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,040
has to do with the English
Church or or related to the
378
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,400
English Church.
And so that's like mind
379
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,000
boggling, right.
So you know, we we in our
380
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,040
current society think about how
much.
381
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,040
Well we we see how much, not
think about, we see how much
382
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:26,120
religion incites war and So what
happens when the actual ordained
383
00:20:26,120 --> 00:20:31,400
people are the soldiers, right.
And so we hear talks between
384
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:39,720
Mundy and her, her friend Canto
about lover, lover, RIP of
385
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,520
bishops.
And that's like a higher rank
386
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,280
and and and being ordained and
having the divinity to make
387
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,600
these decisions.
So everything is very much based
388
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,160
in religion.
Also tattoo artist hey.
389
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,280
Hello, just on the side, you got
to have some fun.
390
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,120
I'm glad the church allowed
that.
391
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,040
Well, or do they?
Or is this something that they
392
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,840
secretly have to hide, right?
Yeah, I I think it's an
393
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,640
interesting commentary.
There has been instances where
394
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,360
like the military organization
has a religious undertone in it.
395
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:13,800
In the Doctor, the in the
universe, I should say there's
396
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,360
been like clerics and stuff like
that.
397
00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:18,480
So it is like a running thing
that does happen.
398
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,480
And I think it is really
interesting because we see
399
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,280
humanity at different points in
history, in the past or in the
400
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,480
way future future.
And it's like we get to see them
401
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,040
at their worst and at their
best.
402
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:35,680
At what point is this this sect
of humans that went off to be
403
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,760
these people that are just
perpetuating their own war?
404
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,600
Right is insane.
And having faith that this is
405
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,320
the right thing to do, that this
war is truly what they're meant
406
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:48,920
for.
Even if they they just need to
407
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,800
surrender and think about it.
Yeah, I want to There's.
408
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,200
So what the Doctor says is faith
is the magic word that keeps you
409
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,120
never having to think for
yourself.
410
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,200
Wow.
Yeah, and I do like though at
411
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,880
the end of this episode, how?
He said.
412
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,360
I think it's Splice the little
girl or maybe it's Monday, but
413
00:22:06,360 --> 00:22:09,120
they said like she said
something about having faith and
414
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:11,240
then Monday says like I thought
you didn't like faith.
415
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,720
And he's like just because I
didn't say I don't like it
416
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,080
doesn't mean I don't need it.
And I think generally faith
417
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,040
depending on you know, where
you're putting it and everything
418
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:23,280
and if it's for good, if it's
for good reasons, typically it's
419
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,520
good to have faith that
something will work out
420
00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:27,360
supposed.
To And I think that there are
421
00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:28,800
different levels of faith,
right?
422
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,360
So the word faith can mean your
religion.
423
00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:34,600
That's your faith or it can mean
faith in yourself or faith in
424
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,880
humanity.
And so right, you know those
425
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,280
different levels and what it
means and what those types of
426
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,440
faiths have us do right in our
lives.
427
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,640
And and so that was just kind of
like kind of mind blowing,
428
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,320
right.
Because when you hear him kind
429
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,320
of say this line, you're like
Dang, that's real.
430
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,800
And then at the end when he
agrees with it, it kind of evens
431
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,280
it out, right.
And.
432
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:02,120
And that's an interesting thing.
So I also just want to talk
433
00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:05,880
about there's like very much the
the faith and the theory of this
434
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,200
episode, but there's also the
physicality of this episode.
435
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,680
And I want to talk about the
wild technology a little bit.
436
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,840
I mean we start off with like
these like cheek phone things
437
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,840
which is like so wild.
Yeah, it's almost like they
438
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:24,440
answer and stuff like this.
But when Splice's father asked
439
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,760
about her doing her teeth
brushing her teeth, she like
440
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,920
blew into her finger.
And I'm like, wait, there's a
441
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,520
microphone also on the finger?
Like what?
442
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,760
The technology is funny, like
you will see this as a new
443
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,840
Huvian, I should say.
You're going to see technology
444
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,080
like that where like you won't
see it again and it will just
445
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,520
come up in like a different
form.
446
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,120
But I I like that a lot.
And I like that you're kind of
447
00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:48,800
just like this thing is thrown
into your face and you're like,
448
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,600
wait, what's going on?
And it doesn't really have a lot
449
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,840
to do with the plot.
It's just and interesting detail
450
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,560
about this group of people.
It just it makes the world.
451
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,000
It's those little tiny details
that make the world feel alive,
452
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,440
right?
It makes it like, okay.
453
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,080
They advance technology in this
way to have face phones.
454
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,960
Sure, Yeah.
Would you get a face phone?
455
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,640
No.
I mean, if that's what it was,
456
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,680
yeah, I would have to.
I'm not going to, like, walk
457
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,880
around with my iPhone 10 just
being like I'm still here, guys.
458
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,560
I mean, it's literally taking
that thing of people being like
459
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,280
you're walking around with a
tracking device.
460
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,240
It's like now it's just
implanted in your face.
461
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,120
You are a tracking device.
Absolutely whatever.
462
00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:27,600
It make you explode at any time.
It's fine, Do it.
463
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,240
Another technology that we have
to talk about is the ambulances.
464
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:36,040
So Susan's twist sighting.
Very parent Susan twist
465
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,400
sighting.
So if you haven't seen her yet
466
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,160
in these I would say 3 past
episodes, including episode 0,
467
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,200
this is her.
She's just different this time
468
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,640
and she is the face of the the
ambulance AI, right?
469
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,120
It's terrifying.
Terrifying that when they sense
470
00:24:53,120 --> 00:24:58,000
combat, their sole purpose isn't
to administer care, it is to see
471
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,600
if you're viable enough to keep.
Living.
472
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,440
Yes.
So Splice's father, at the
473
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,720
beginning of the episode, we see
that there's something wrong
474
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,160
with his eyes.
And when he's with his colleague
475
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,320
and they're walking through this
wasteland, they see an ambulance
476
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,320
in the distance.
And you would think, oh good,
477
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,040
they're going to get help, but
they're like, hopefully it
478
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,280
doesn't come to us.
And eventually it does.
479
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,200
And just because he's not really
fully blind, his eyes just need
480
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,120
time to heal.
It's temporary, but the four
481
00:25:24,120 --> 00:25:26,560
weeks is just too long to have
to take care of him.
482
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:31,640
So instead they smelt him down
into a human urn body.
483
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,480
Canister thing.
Can we, Since we're talking
484
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,400
about like, the physical
technology stuff of this
485
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,040
episode, can we talk about those
Urns?
486
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,560
Well, yes.
So it's a compressed body that
487
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,120
looks like, you know, the bank
tellers, things that they put in
488
00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:47,120
the tubes and they go away, but
with the added benefit of a
489
00:25:47,120 --> 00:25:51,320
hologram.
I when Ruby was walking around
490
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:55,280
trying to find something heavy
enough to counter the balance of
491
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,400
the doctor's weight, she picks
up this weird thing, as she
492
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,600
calls it.
There's literally a human
493
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,400
eyeball on it, and she's like, I
don't know what this is.
494
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:09,280
I'm like rubes like.
OK, but let's stop for a second.
495
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,360
Let's stop for a second and
think.
496
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:12,840
No, she should have stopped for
a second.
497
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,320
No, no, no, I OK.
So I'm sort of on board with the
498
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,600
smelting cylinders because.
Right.
499
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,720
OK, so what's weirder, right?
Putting bodies into a very
500
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:28,160
compact cylinder, right?
Or taking a body, taking all of
501
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:32,160
its organs out, filling it with
all sorts of fluid, sewing its
502
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,240
eyes shut?
Well, do you know what I mean?
503
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,800
Like, that's weird.
Mama I.
504
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,760
Think they're both weird.
I think if they packaged the
505
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,320
body a little better instead of
like just seeing the fleshy
506
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,360
Bony, you know?
I'm with you.
507
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,240
Then I'd be OK with that, you
know, because they have a really
508
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,240
nice, like black on it with the
name.
509
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,960
And it's your little AI message
embedded in the top.
510
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,840
You could talk to your friend
whenever you want.
511
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,400
It's amazing, but like, just
cover up the flesh part.
512
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,760
Like, I don't what am I going to
do, put that on the mantle?
513
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,120
Well, Flash, maybe wear it as a
pendant.
514
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,120
No, that's beautiful.
I carry you wherever I go.
515
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,680
Yeah.
So I mean, another instance of
516
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,080
great technology could be
better.
517
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,480
Yes.
Like the face phones?
518
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:16,520
No.
No.
519
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,960
Like I just, I and like a little
girl has it, so they do it very
520
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:21,960
young.
You're born with it.
521
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,040
That must.
Maybe it.
522
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:24,560
Maybe you're born with it.
Maybe it's Facebook.
523
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,560
Yeah, I don't know.
That's too much.
524
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,760
And then let's talk a little bit
about this landmine.
525
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,920
OK, so the landmine need when
something steps on it, it needs
526
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,400
to know if you're actually a
viable thing to kill.
527
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,280
If you're a rock, it'll let you
go.
528
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,560
And so, luckily for the doctor,
I mean, I would have been done
529
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,000
dead a like, boom, farted.
Done.
530
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,080
Uh huh.
Yeah, Farted for sure.
531
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,960
Whereas the Doctor luckily has
the wherewithal to stop, right?
532
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,800
And so when he's first done it,
there's four fingers between the
533
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,960
gauge, right?
To not make him blow up.
534
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,040
Yeah, how horrifying.
Yeah, I mean, this is really
535
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,560
interesting too, because this
concept has been done in Doctor
536
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,360
Who.
It's in classic Who, where like
537
00:28:04,360 --> 00:28:07,160
the Doctor literally steps on a
landmine and he's like Charles.
538
00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:09,680
I've just stepped on a landmine
and he can't move.
539
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,280
Never really seen it.
I've seen clips of it and it's
540
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,880
like, OK, whatever.
This is just elevated and more
541
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,560
modern, right?
It's terrifying.
542
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,760
I think that even it measuring
his adrenaline, right?
543
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,640
But then the the mine itself, it
it's not an explosive right.
544
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:31,040
It turns your body down to it's
like molecular structure into
545
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,920
pure energy and that's what
explodes.
546
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:38,720
So that's where the extra stakes
in this episode are of the
547
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:44,200
Doctor being a time event, being
pure energy, a higher
548
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,840
dimensional being.
It is a lot of energy.
549
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,720
It's going to kill everybody on
this planet, right?
550
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,880
Yikes.
So it's not just him.
551
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,040
No, that would die.
It would be everyone around him.
552
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,440
So you thought Steven Moffat was
like, OK, he's on, he's on a
553
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,240
landmine and like, there's
people and stuff like that.
554
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,080
Boo.
Let me just up the stakes a
555
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,760
little bit.
The ambulance is going to try to
556
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,440
kill you.
The Doctor's going to kill
557
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,560
everybody.
It's just this episode did a
558
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,040
really good job of the pacing,
of the tension because he's on
559
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,560
that landmine within like 2
minutes of the episode.
560
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,320
And it's like, oh, that sucks.
And then the daughter comes
561
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,200
because she hears her dad.
She's trying to get to her dad.
562
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,360
And then they're like, no, don't
come here.
563
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,800
And then Wendy comes and then
Kondo comes, and then the
564
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,440
ambulance comes and I'm like, I
can't.
565
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,600
I need everybody to stop.
Yes, and there's just like
566
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,840
misunderstanding after
misunderstanding, right?
567
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,720
So Ruby is trying to get the
ambulance to focus on her.
568
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:39,600
Kanto.
Caesar.
569
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:45,080
He shoots her.
I specific having the doctor.
570
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,000
Every time something would
happen, my eye would always go
571
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,800
to the doctor because this is
like the worst thing for the
572
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,920
doctor to begin.
Not being able to help, not
573
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,840
being able to do anything.
He's seeing all of this happen.
574
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:03,480
He can't comfort this little
girl when he realizes, like I
575
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,560
have her dead dad in my hand.
How am I supposed to tell her
576
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,560
Monday comes?
I can't give her this thing
577
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,080
because I'll die and everybody
else will die.
578
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,880
And then, seeing his companion
get shot, what is he supposed to
579
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:17,840
do?
I don't know.
580
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,360
I mean, he must have been very
Zen to see Ruby get shot and
581
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,320
learn that she has like 5
minutes to live.
582
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,520
That would have made my blood
pressure go through the roof.
583
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,200
Boom, boom, boom.
My God.
584
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,120
Dead.
Great though.
585
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,200
Great television.
So the ambulance does this thing
586
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,000
where it needs to give you a
sharp scratch.
587
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,600
I think it's called and and so
it's kind of reading your
588
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,360
vitals.
And so when Ruby falls on the
589
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:45,680
floor, it sends one into her and
we get this bizarre thing where
590
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:50,240
it's giving us all of her stats,
and the one stat is that she's
591
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:54,800
3082 years old.
Yeah, what's your question?
592
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,280
I mean, we knew something was
special about Ruby.
593
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:06,000
It's real interesting.
It's really interesting.
594
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:10,240
I she would almost have to be,
yeah.
595
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,280
We saw in one of the earlier
episodes the Doctor doing
596
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,280
readings on her, like she
already goes out of the TARDIS
597
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,520
and you see on the screen he
kind of looks at it and it's
598
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,120
scanning her, trying to figure
out like what's up with her.
599
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,440
So he he already has it in the
back of his mind.
600
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:29,600
So for this ambulance to confirm
something of like she's not like
601
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:37,240
a normal human age thing, right.
And is the my my thing is, is
602
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:41,560
she really that old?
Or is because they're in the
603
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:45,040
future?
Is it saying she's 3082 years
604
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,880
old because that's how far in
the future they are from when
605
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:49,920
she was born?
That was one of the things I was
606
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,800
thinking as well.
So that could be a thing.
607
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,000
Or here's another theory.
It's a red herring.
608
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:07,440
Or what if Ruby isn't a person
at all, but Ruby is a song, and
609
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,320
that song is 3082 years old.
I'm serious.
610
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:12,720
Oh.
I thought you're.
611
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,000
I thought you made-up a song,
3080.
612
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,040
No, no, no, no.
I'm saying that she is as old as
613
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,080
that.
You know when she is dropped off
614
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,800
at that church, we don't know
when that is taking place.
615
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:27,040
Yeah, it's really interesting.
I think when the maestro had her
616
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,320
up with all the music notes and
stuff, he said.
617
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,720
There's a Hidden song and The
Hidden the song that came out
618
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,640
with Carol with the bells and
I'm not too sure what that
619
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,960
meaning means.
Yeah, there's there's a there is
620
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,840
a lot of music.
When she was about to hand him
621
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,080
that urn to calm her down or get
her ready for it.
622
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,760
It's not 123.
She stopped him from counting.
623
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,520
She said I need something
rhythmic, I need a beat and so
624
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,440
he sings more singing more
songs.
625
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,680
It's it's interesting.
I there's too many musical
626
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,720
analogies, too many musical
meanings that could mean
627
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,800
anything.
So it's going to be interesting
628
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,400
to see how he ties that all
together.
629
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,080
Because if she is, let's say,
part of this pantheon, right?
630
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,840
She could be.
Is the Doctor also part of that?
631
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,840
Who knows?
But if she's part of that, what
632
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,120
is her thing, right?
It's like the toy maker is
633
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:19,680
imagination, it's games and
everything.
634
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:24,240
Maestro is music.
What then would Ruby be so?
635
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,400
She's a gem.
She's a thong.
636
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,960
She's just, she's the song of
all the songs.
637
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,200
She's 3082 years old.
But I I had that thought about
638
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,880
the the time travel as well.
It's like, does your age change
639
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,600
just because you're travelling
through time?
640
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,560
Well, I I would think that a
machine that's reading like your
641
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,440
carbon dating, it's like, oh,
would it read it as however old
642
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,280
you are.
If the scientists were to use
643
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,000
uranium and carbon date you,
that's all they would say you
644
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,400
are.
We also get another scene of
645
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,840
snow in this.
And so what's interesting is
646
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,600
that Mundy and Canto are like,
it doesn't snow here, like this
647
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,360
isn't any, like, this isn't
real.
648
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:06,240
And then the doctor just says
no, it's Ruby.
649
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,040
Yeah, like this is just Ruby.
He knows.
650
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,760
I think at this point he doesn't
know what it means, but he knows
651
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:16,320
it happens.
It was startling to see it stop,
652
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,600
you know, because the doctor is
literally men sentence.
653
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,120
As long as it's fault and then
it stops, that's not good.
654
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,920
So it's interesting.
Whenever she's literally about
655
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,280
to die, the snow is falling, but
then it just stops.
656
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,560
So I'm curious.
I mean, I don't want her to die,
657
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,199
but like, I'm curious what would
happen?
658
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,840
Like, why is the snow there?
It doesn't seem like the snow is
659
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,360
helping her in any way.
It's just more of like an
660
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,159
effect.
It's not really boding well for
661
00:34:42,159 --> 00:34:47,600
Ruby that an episode from
episodes zero through three, she
662
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,000
has almost died probably three
times.
663
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,800
The doctor said your lifespan
isn't great.
664
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,400
It's not looking good.
I mean, she might die at the end
665
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,440
of this.
She could she she.
666
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:03,280
You know, Who knows, can we?
Before we get into other stuff,
667
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,680
we've mentioned her name a few
times Monday.
668
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,200
When I first initially watched
this, I thought they were saying
669
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,760
Monday, which then the joke of
the doctor saying you should
670
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,760
marry Ruby because then you
would be Monday, Sunday.
671
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:16,840
Fantastic joke.
I love it.
672
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,800
It's so stupid, but it's so
great.
673
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:24,560
But it's Monday, right?
What's even more interesting is
674
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:31,240
the actor that plays her has
been in Andor fantastic series.
675
00:35:31,240 --> 00:35:35,720
You should watch it.
But the BBCA couple weeks ago
676
00:35:35,720 --> 00:35:39,640
and maybe a couple months ago
had announced that she is going
677
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,400
to be a companion.
This actor is going to be the
678
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:47,360
Doctor's companion.
So I mean, I don't see her being
679
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,280
the companion as Mundy.
So that just brings up a lot of
680
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:55,680
questions of like, is whoever
going to be the Doctor's
681
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,280
companion regenerate into
looking like her?
682
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,880
Like, what does this mean?
This is bizarre.
683
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:07,000
The only thing I can think of is
that at the end of this episode,
684
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,560
the doctor says.
And I'm going to stop by again,
685
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,200
you know, And my favorite food
is, was it fish sticks and
686
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,440
custard fish?
Fish sticks and custard Fish
687
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,920
sticks and custard.
Which is a call back to Matt
688
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,600
Smith's 11th hour introduction
episode.
689
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,240
Disgusting meal, but it's it's a
phase like.
690
00:36:25,240 --> 00:36:27,320
Full on scoops of custard, of
course.
691
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,800
Of course Moffat would be like,
yeah, the first show running
692
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:31,520
episode.
I did.
693
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,200
I'm going to call back to it of.
Course, absolutely.
694
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,520
But so he says, I'm going to
come back, I'm going to visit.
695
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,520
So it could just be Monday,
yeah, yeah.
696
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,920
And he could just be like, I'm
going through the week.
697
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,040
I had Ruby Sunday and now I have
Monday.
698
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:46,320
And.
Then.
699
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,680
Tuesday, Wednesday.
Now we just have to watch out.
700
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:50,560
I just find it really
interesting, right?
701
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,200
Like, yeah, I guess that could
happen, right?
702
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,680
And I I missed the line where he
said I'm going to come back.
703
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,960
It's it's just interesting.
Typically, at least from what
704
00:36:59,960 --> 00:37:03,400
I'm thinking, you know, Peter
Capaldi was in an episode of
705
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,080
Doctor Who way before he became
the Doctor, right.
706
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,320
Typically there's like time in
between when they, like, come
707
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:14,120
back.
So it's to me, I find it weird
708
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,960
that like, she's introduced this
early and then is going to be a
709
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,200
companion.
It could happen, but like that's
710
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,480
bizarre.
Maybe with how much he changed
711
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,840
her life and her views on faith
and everything.
712
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,280
Maybe then, when he does come
back, she she wants more.
713
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,360
Right, she might say.
You're right about everything.
714
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,320
Everything I've ever known has
been a lie.
715
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,320
Or prove to me.
Right, right.
716
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,000
Because what he basically
uncovers is that they are
717
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,360
fighting no one, right?
They are just a profit machine
718
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:47,040
for Villingard and so that's
mind altering, that's life
719
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,280
changing.
And so I think it could make
720
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,680
sense that he goes back and she
says I want to join you on this
721
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,760
journey.
I want to see more of what the
722
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,560
universe has to offer.
Yeah, I'm, I'm excited.
723
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,840
Like I I'm excited.
I like Burrata Sathu.
724
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,480
So her being a companion, I'm
it's going to be interesting if
725
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,560
they overlap or is it going to
be both of them?
726
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,360
Because there has been like 4
companions at once, so it's
727
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,120
going to be fun to see the
dynamic add another companion to
728
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,720
that, however long it's going to
last.
729
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,080
I believe she does come in in
season 2.
730
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:22,080
Spoiler It was already announced
everywhere, so I'm excited.
731
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,000
Yeah, I I'm just hoping that
it's one of those things where
732
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,240
Ruby is like, you know what,
Mundy?
733
00:38:27,240 --> 00:38:29,960
It's your time.
It's time for me to go home and
734
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,000
be with my mom and raise those
babies.
735
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,360
You go on this journey now.
That's what I'm hoping for
736
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,760
because my heart is already
broken.
737
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,920
Thinking about Ruby not
surviving this.
738
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:44,680
You know which Doctor had all
their companions safe and sound.
739
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,200
None of them.
Jodie Whittaker Oh, OK, they
740
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,160
even have a support group that
they made.
741
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,240
Or that I love.
With like people that have
742
00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:56,760
travelled with the Doctor, they
are the only Doctor since it's
743
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,880
new who that have like got off
fine.
744
00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:02,480
Everybody else, specifically
Matt Smith.
745
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,000
Not great.
So what you're saying is don't
746
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,440
get your hopes up.
No, I wouldn't.
747
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:13,280
I wouldn't get my hopes up.
I know you're new to Doctor Who,
748
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:16,320
but just.
Be prepared.
749
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,040
But like, isn't that the worst
when they make you fall in love
750
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,000
with someone and then they break
your heart?
751
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,600
That's why we watch this.
No.
752
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,320
Yeah, it's like the Nicole
Kidman AMC thing.
753
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:30,320
That's why we come here, yeah.
Cinema.
754
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,840
No, it's so terrible.
So let's wrap up this episode
755
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,320
right?
Because I do think that the end
756
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,200
of it itself is really
interesting.
757
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,960
High stakes.
It's like on a a a knife's edge
758
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:47,360
this entire episode, And to add
more heartbreak to it, in
759
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,320
typical Moffett fashion.
Why not?
760
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:53,160
Yeah, why not?
Kanto and Mundy have this, like,
761
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:54,600
you know, kind of romantic
tension.
762
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,080
She even says to his face, yeah,
because of this romantic tension
763
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,680
we have like playing around is
not playing.
764
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:06,760
They both love each other.
Him dying and then saying, like
765
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,560
saying those words over and over
and she's like, I can't see you,
766
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,480
where are you?
And then she sees him in his
767
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:15,920
hologram.
I was like, that is not OK.
768
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,320
No.
I first time I watched it tear,
769
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,040
tear in my eye.
I don't know these people.
770
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,520
I've just met.
Them I don't.
771
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,160
Care about them must be the
writing.
772
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:34,600
I just like, it's that thing of
like, you know, what made me cry
773
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,560
is when he said you were
designated as my favorite
774
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,080
person.
And it's like, I don't know his
775
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,920
family life, but it's like the
fact that he didn't send it to
776
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,560
his family.
And he said if he doesn't have
777
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:50,480
one but sent it to her, it's so
sad.
778
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,680
It's so good, though.
Like, these are the things of,
779
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:57,080
like sometimes the most
beautiful stories in Doctor Who
780
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:01,440
is when it's the saddest because
it makes you appreciate those
781
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,440
things that you have, right.
And it's like, that's really sad
782
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:05,760
that that was his favorite
person.
783
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,200
But it's like, I'm glad I have
my favorite person, but it's
784
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,800
like, I would also be sad if
that happened, you know?
785
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,320
It's just.
I mean if he, if you think about
786
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:17,000
it right he when we see him back
at base, he's trying so much to
787
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,960
get Mundy to come back because
he knows it's not safe for her
788
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,720
out there.
So he does risk his life to go
789
00:41:22,720 --> 00:41:26,000
and find her and save her and
ultimately does give that
790
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,400
sacrifice.
So sad.
791
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,200
So sad.
Especially the fact that the
792
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,560
freaking ambulance kills him as
he they're realizing that they
793
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,760
both love each other.
Yeah, that's fucked up.
794
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:37,160
Yeah, that's fucked up.
The.
795
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,480
Fact, too, of like, just this
whole conversation of AI and
796
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,600
Valengard and all of that.
And it's the whole purpose is to
797
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:48,720
perpetuate this war that means
nothing is insane.
798
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:55,160
And the way that the doctor gets
Monday to realize it, which
799
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,720
there's a point where in he says
something like, do you get it?
800
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:04,240
And she looks at Splice and I
think she's always kind of known
801
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,320
but because of her faith and
because of what she's around and
802
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,440
everything, she didn't really
want to believe it.
803
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,160
It almost seemed like she didn't
want to say it in front of her.
804
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,320
And she's like, do I say like
she's right here?
805
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,400
This little girl that lost her.
Am I supposed to say her father
806
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,680
died in vain for nothing in
front of her?
807
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,400
Yeah, you're going to have to.
And the doctor pushing it.
808
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:24,800
Do you get it?
Do you get it?
809
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,760
Do you get it?
Master.
810
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:28,680
Master.
For work.
811
00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:29,720
Yeah.
So good.
812
00:42:29,720 --> 00:42:32,800
I just want to bring out one
other moment that I felt was
813
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:38,200
really heartbreaking.
When Ruby is dying and the
814
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,000
ambulance asks her who's your
next of kin?
815
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,640
And she just keeps going, Who's
my next of kin?
816
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,840
Who's my next of kin?
I Is that what the ambulance
817
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,520
asked?
Oh, what I how I heard that was
818
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,240
it was searching for next of
kin.
819
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:53,840
Was it asking her or was it
searching for?
820
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,600
I mean, I guess.
Either way, either way, she.
821
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,640
Doesn't know.
No, no, no.
822
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,480
I I was just saying because I
took it a different way and it
823
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,880
was like trying to search for it
and she's like, I'm dying.
824
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,360
Who is it?
Can you tell me who it is?
825
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:08,600
Well, either way, wow, that's
even heartbreaking.
826
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:09,800
Too.
It's so sad.
827
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,600
Yeah, she's dying and she's
like, who is it?
828
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,480
I don't know.
I don't know where my life is
829
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,400
going from here.
Yeah.
830
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:23,200
But I OK, So we also have this
little girl whose father has
831
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:24,200
just died.
Yeah.
832
00:43:24,240 --> 00:43:28,360
And yet she's like, no, it's OK.
I will see him again.
833
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:29,840
Yeah.
Because of her faith.
834
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,720
Yeah.
So it's just another layer.
835
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,600
Yeah.
You know, I mean, obviously I
836
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:36,720
don't want to talk about
religion.
837
00:43:36,720 --> 00:43:40,920
I have my own views on religion
and other people do as well, but
838
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,440
I like that they did that right
at the end of this episode
839
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,360
because the doctor was combating
it quite a bit in this episode,
840
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,800
which I think is important to
question things like don't just
841
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:50,640
blindly follow things, like
question it.
842
00:43:51,240 --> 00:43:55,000
And in the end when she says
yeah, you know my mother was
843
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,400
gathered up and my dad's not
gone, I'll I'll see him again at
844
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,480
some point and then when he's
with Ruby, she's like that.
845
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,680
That's sad though.
Like he's dead, he's gone.
846
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,920
He's like when, Yeah, yeah.
But we're all kind of like
847
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,000
dying, you know?
So it's like we're all just
848
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:10,280
snowflakes that are going to
melt.
849
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,960
Yeah, but it's everything's a
beach eventually.
850
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,520
But if it makes her happy, it's
not hurting anybody for her to
851
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,280
think that, right?
I think ultimately the message
852
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,880
here that he says at the end is
what survives of us is love.
853
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:30,760
And it's very much the thought
of yes, we may be here and for
854
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,920
only a blink of an eye, but make
sure what you leave behind is
855
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,800
love, yeah?
It it Harkins back to the other
856
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,200
thing that we're covering when
Kurt tells Gambit, love is best
857
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:45,320
measured and what we forgive.
I love love quotes that aren't
858
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,560
just like love is love.
You know what I mean?
859
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:48,880
Like, I mean, love is love.
Girl.
860
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,280
Girl.
No.
861
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,600
That was the first one that
popped in my head.
862
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,280
But you know what I mean?
Where it like he?
863
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,880
Doesn't want live, love, love.
No.
864
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:01,680
Live love.
Love the ones that like, give
865
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,920
that extra layer of love, right?
Like the the things that do make
866
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:09,360
up love great.
I'm very excited for this
867
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,000
season.
I haven't been this excited for
868
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,200
Doctor Who in a long time and
it's very exciting.
869
00:45:15,240 --> 00:45:18,840
It's a beautiful thing.
I mean, the the incredible thing
870
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,920
is, is that this episode really
just was one situation for an
871
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,880
hour and we've managed to talk
about it so much.
872
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,920
There was so much there.
Yeah, there was so much there.
873
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:34,960
All of those ambulances coming.
Thank thank you for AI Daddy for
874
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,280
just, like, wiping out all of
the velling guard.
875
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:38,160
He became a hacker.
Oh.
876
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:39,400
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
877
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:45,240
Dust to dust, Dad to Dad.
So good. 73 yards is next.
878
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:47,240
I have no idea what that one's
about.
879
00:45:47,240 --> 00:45:49,080
I don't either.
It looks like a town that's
880
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,160
going crazy.
It looks like it's Doctor Light
881
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:56,480
to sometimes in Doctor Who
seasons, I think it's the Doctor
882
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,080
is like usually the main star,
right?
883
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,280
Sometimes for a little break,
there's episodes where the
884
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,440
Doctor isn't in it as much.
So it does seem like that's
885
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,840
going to be a Doctor like
episode, which I'm happy with.
886
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,200
Yeah, sure.
I like those.
887
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:09,520
You know, I need a little more
Ruby.
888
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,520
I'll be honest.
Yeah, it was she.
889
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:13,600
She keeps falling asleep at the
end of these episodes.
890
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,320
She's always just strung up
somewhere with snow falling
891
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:17,280
around her.
Yeah.
892
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:21,440
All right, so send your thoughts
to Abo Nibbles at Gmail.
893
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:25,960
Let us know Live left love.
See you Monday.
894
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:42,160
Bye bye
the.
