If there's one thing that this
Doctor Who episode has taught
2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,800
me, it's that you can't trust
podcasters.
3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:15,320
Noah and their deep, dark agenda
full of lies and conspiracies.
4
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,400
Spoilers.
And murder.
5
00:00:25,950 --> 00:00:29,710
So anyway, watch slash.
Listen to this episode with
6
00:00:29,710 --> 00:00:33,230
caution is on a bite of We're
talking about Doctor Who Season
7
00:00:33,230 --> 00:00:38,080
2 Episode 4, Lucky Day, Yeah.
Oh, we're halfway through the
8
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,440
season.
Halfway through the season of
9
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,680
Lies.
I'm Noah.
10
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:47,040
That's Derek.
So we're on another Doctor Light
11
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,200
episode.
Will this compare to 73 yards?
12
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,280
Who can say us?
We will say.

00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,280

So spoiler alert for all of
19
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,120
Vinshuti's run of Doctor Who,
and this episode specifically.
20
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,080
Yes, so let us officially take a
bite of Doctor Who Season 2
21
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,640
Episode 4 Lucky Day, written by
Peter Mcteague and directed by
22
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,800
Peter Whore.
The Vindicator anchors in 2007
23
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,320
where the Doctor and Belinda
bump into a young Conrad Clark.
24
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,960
Amazed by what he has seen,
Conrad spends his life tracking
25
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:38,520
down the Doctor and eventually
finds the one and only Ruby
26
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,320
Sunday.
Conrad and Ruby grow close, but
27
00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:45,320
what seems like a blossoming
relationship is actually an evil
28
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:51,720
plot or Ruby.
Or Ruby.
29
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,560
What did you think overall?
Oh, oh good I I think this is
30
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,600
episode is very good.
I'm still I still question
31
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,600
having these types of episodes
in such a short run of Doctor
32
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,040
Who.
I like them.
33
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,120
Last season, 73 yards I thought
was amazing.
34
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,440
It was one of my favorite
episodes.
35
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,400
This one, I honestly think it's
a very good episode of
36
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,000
television.
Pushed Ruby's story forward a
37
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,680
little more, even though we
haven't really seen Ruby this
38
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,520
season.
But also it makes me question
39
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,600
like, do we need the OR not not
do we need them?
40
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,720
But with such a short run, I
don't know.
41
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,320
It's more like, can we get to
the story?
42
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,880
Like there's still so many
questions that we have.
43
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:37,960
And I'm curious if this just
almost stops the momentum for
44
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,520
the season.
Well, I think that.
45
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,120
So if you're comparing this to
73 yards, it's kind of like a
46
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,280
stand alone Ruby episode.
I thought, personally, I thought
47
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,680
73 yards was more entertaining.
It kind of had me more on the
48
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,840
edge of my seat.
But I didn't think 73 yards
49
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,560
really did anything to progress
the plot of that season
50
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,440
necessarily.
Whereas this one, if I think,
51
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,080
you know, they're doing what
they're doing, like if I'm
52
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,960
correcting that thought, this is
really the point where things
53
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,600
start going bad and why the
doctor and Melinda can't get
54
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,240
back to 2025.
Yeah.
55
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,680
I mean, I will say this one, if
we're going to compare the 73
56
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,320
yards in this, 173 yards didn't
really push the plot as much as
57
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,520
this one did, especially in the
end because we have a new
58
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,720
villain and we have another
mysterious figure kind of taking
59
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,600
a villain into the fold in some
capacity.
60
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,800
So there is stuff that is
setting up, I agree, but I don't
61
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,600
know, it's just more of like,
ah, where's the Doctor?
62
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,800
You know, like, I mean, we can
have episodes without it.
63
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,440
But I will say if this is like a
soft pilot for a UNIT episode or
64
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,400
if the Land in the Sea spin off
series is going to be anything
65
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,840
like of this caliber, I'm very
excited for that.
66
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,880
That is totally what it also
felt like to me, like they were
67
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,360
testing a spin off series.
And you know, it's always funny
68
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,520
when they do stuff like that
'cause they try and like sneak
69
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:58,840
it in.
It's like when they try, when
70
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,440
parents try to sneak vegetables
into their kids meals.
71
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,240
It's like we're enjoying it, but
we know something's off.
72
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,360
Yeah, they're trying to do
something else here.
73
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,400
It's not.
As bad as when Stranger Things
74
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,800
try to do a spin off in the
middle of their season.
75
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,280
Yeah, these kids with power.
Yeah.
76
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,760
So overall, I really like this
episode.
77
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,480
I think the twists, there was a
few twists in here where
78
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,520
genuinely I did not know that
they were going to happen.
79
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,160
So that was a fun surprise.
But I think the biggest thing
80
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,320
here is Ruby, right?
I was so excited to have Belinda
81
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,800
and Ruby finally meet and
interact.
82
00:04:32,840 --> 00:04:34,720
Unfortunately, we didn't get
that in this episode.
83
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,120
So that's my expectation.
That was not met the thought on
84
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,240
the show.
But I really can't wait for them
85
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,680
to meet.
I just can.
86
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,800
We just have like a third series
with all three of them
87
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,520
traveling.
I would love that so much.
88
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,880
That would be really cool.
So Ruby had her solo episode
89
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,520
last season and now Ruby has a
solo episode this season, but
90
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,600
Belinda doesn't seem like she
like it doesn't seem like she's
91
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,080
going to get a solo episode.
That to me seems unbalanced and
92
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,960
unfair.
Well, I do think this season is
93
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,640
still doing some weird parallels
with the first season.
94
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:10,440
Again, I don't know if that's
intentional or not, but it is
95
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,320
interesting that we're seeing
parallels again through the
96
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,680
season, specifically with Ruby
Sunday.
97
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,080
I always find it really
fascinating when we catch up
98
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,920
with companions after the Doctor
has left their lives.
99
00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:27,200
And you know, a lot of times in
Doctor Who, the saddest thing
100
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,960
isn't necessarily when the
companion dies, cause a lot of
101
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,360
times the companion doesn't
necessarily die.
102
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,640
It's more the, the death of the
friendship, which is just
103
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,320
equally as sad because we know
we're not going to see these
104
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,440
people again.
So when we do see them, like in
105
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,920
this case for Ruby, we can see
how the time with the Doctor has
106
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,680
changed them for the good or the
bad.
107
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,160
And picking up with Ruby here
and seeing how she almost feels
108
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,600
a little lost, but she has some
PTSD.
109
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,680
But traveling with the Doctor
with the world ending, she, I
110
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,680
think she said in this episode
that, you know, she saw
111
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,800
everything turn to dust and she
hasn't really processed that.
112
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,680
I think she's always still
waiting to hear the TARDIS and
113
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,200
to be swept away again.
Yeah, that's one of the, IT
114
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,000
almost seems one of the
dangerous things of being a
115
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,520
companion of the doctor is,
well, first you might die, but
116
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,040
you go through a lot of trauma,
and then he kind of says goodbye
117
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,040
to you and he keeps going on his
adventures and living that life,
118
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:27,480
and you're left to your own
devices, basically.
119
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,720
And I think we really see that
here with Sunday and I think
120
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,160
with Sunday with Ruby Sunday,
because something else that I
121
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,600
think we need to talk about with
Ruby is that she's constantly
122
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,840
being left by people, right?
She has a obviously has an issue
123
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:45,000
of abandonment with her bio
mother.
124
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,800
And granted, they've been
reunited at this point, but that
125
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,640
was really her main thing
throughout the whole first
126
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,560
season was trying to figure out
who her mother is.
127
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,640
And so she once again is being
abandoned by someone she loves
128
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,880
and again, with really no way to
contact them.
129
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,040
And so being through wars,
having lived an entire life and
130
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,640
73 yards and all the all these
different things, it's really
131
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,400
left her kind of in shambles.
And I think that's a very
132
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,960
realistic portrayal of someone
who's gone through these things.
133
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,520
I will say it was very nice to
see Jerry and Carlo again and
134
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,120
Louise thrown into the mix now,
which is just lovely to see
135
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,960
Ruby's extended family and
immediate family of different
136
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,800
sorts kind of hang out together.
I just, it's just so I don't
137
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,400
know.
I didn't know how much I missed
138
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,400
them until I saw them, so I wish
they were more of a regular on
139
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:36,840
this.
That's why I really want just.
140
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,600
Ruby, can you come back?
You were gone too quickly.
141
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,680
I need all of you back.
Well I don't know, will she be
142
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,960
in the UNIT spin off if they do
one?
143
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,840
Or you think she'll just jump
back in the TARDIS?
144
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,200
I don't know, maybe I, I mean,
we don't really know much about
145
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,040
the last two episodes of the
season.
146
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,440
So I'm hoping that she will come
through and she'll be with our
147
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,080
current companion and Doctor.
But it's really for us to see.
148
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,160
I think this episode was really
fucked up and what it did.
149
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,280
So we meet Conrad, which we meet
him in 2007 when he's a child.
150
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,400
We see that he his mother's an
alcoholic and she hits him a
151
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,000
little bit.
So he's going through his own
152
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,640
thing.
But he runs into the Doctor in
153
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,120
Belinda and he's just fascinated
by that, right?
154
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,640
He kind of becomes maybe
obsessed with it.
155
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,920
Maybe it's the thing that could
take him away from his home
156
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,680
situation.
But he never saw the Doctor
157
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,600
again.
And I think seeing these two
158
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,320
people, Conrad and Ruby, Ruby
went with the Doctor and we see
159
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,880
the side effects of that.
Conrad never got to go with the
160
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,760
Doctor and we see the side
effects of that.
161
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:41,840
So I think it's a interesting
kind of character study with
162
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,440
both of them on, like how one
side can go way far this way and
163
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,800
the other one needs some healing
and some time to themselves and
164
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,560
not waiting to hear that TARDIS
noise.
165
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,720
Yeah, it's so interesting, the
effect that the doctor has on
166
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,840
people.
It's like whether you're with
167
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,240
him or you're not with him, you
become obsessed with him and
168
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,520
what he can do.
Hence this podcast.
169
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,680
And here we are, another two
victims of the doctor.
170
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,640
I think for Conrad, he was
looking for an escape.
171
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,400
He was looking for a way to get
out of the life that he was
172
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,000
living.
And unfortunately, he was left
173
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,320
wanting.
And so he really dedicates his
174
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,000
life to trying to figure out
what's going on, but somehow
175
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,840
that turns into him not
believing in the doctor or not
176
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,680
thinking it's true.
And so it's like it takes a
177
00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:34,760
weird turn for Conrad.
Yeah, so the biggest twist in
178
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:39,040
this episode is finding out that
Conrad, while being obsessed and
179
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,240
kind of luring Ruby in with the
photo that he took of them when
180
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,400
the doctor and Ruby were doing
their adventures, and then
181
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,720
turning in pretty much doing
this elaborate prank on UNIT and
182
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,440
Ruby and just.
I mean, they were dating for
183
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,480
weeks.
And like Ruby, you hear from
184
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,160
like her whole family unit,
like, oh, you haven't had a
185
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,120
boyfriend.
Finally you have somebody else
186
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,920
and everything.
They were so happy for her.
187
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,920
And then for that to be
completely shattered and it was
188
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,320
a lie is devastating.
But I think it shows that
189
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:14,040
Conrad, you know, he was
abandoned probably multiple
190
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,840
times.
And he maybe just felt jealous
191
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,320
and slighted by the doctor.
Like, why Ruby?
192
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,000
Why did Ruby get to go do that?
Why is Belinda getting to do
193
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,360
that?
Why can't I do that?
194
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,760
What made me not so special, You
know, the doctor spent time to
195
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,120
give him a A50P and it was like,
it's your lucky day.
196
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,080
But then he got smacked by his
mother and he left him.
197
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,760
So like, is it really his lucky
day?
198
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,760
It's one of those things as
simple as, I don't know, he just
199
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,920
felt wronged even though he
really wasn't wronged and he
200
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,400
felt like he was entitled to
more that he got.
201
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,080
I mean, So what we're saying is,
is that he represents straight
202
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,160
white men on this Earth, on this
planet.
203
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,160
Yeah.
And just people that think like
204
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,280
they know that they're lying,
they know that they're lying,
205
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,440
it's just relentless noise and
that's all that they are.
206
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:05,280
And even when he's literally
living through these horrors and
207
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,400
these science fiction, you know,
tales come to life, he's still
208
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,960
spewing out lies and still
saying it's make up.
209
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,560
And so he's a frustrating
character to watch, obviously
210
00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:18,760
because of what he does to Ruby,
but then how he even progresses
211
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,200
and presents himself throughout
the rest of the episode, I mean.
212
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,200
Also, to convince all your
friends to do this is just wild.
213
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,480
I mean, maybe they're not even
friends.
214
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,720
It's just this think tank
bullshit of an organization.
215
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,560
It's very like Joe Rogan ask
like, you know, just a weird
216
00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:36,760
cult following of people that I
think they know that they're
217
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,280
wrong, but they just they're
loud and they want to just
218
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,240
oppress people.
And I don't know, He said, I
219
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,160
think Conrad when they were
recording, he said something
220
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,040
like he looked at Shirley and it
was like, look at her.
221
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,120
She's taking benefits.
And it's like, are you kidding?
222
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,800
Like, I don't know.
I I think the whole twist and
223
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,160
everything like that was just so
shocking that I don't know.
224
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,960
I didn't expect them to go this.
Far at first I thought it was
225
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,480
just a punked type show and so
like I was like, oh that was
226
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,640
really evil.
But then as he kept talking and
227
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,560
they brought all the cameras and
they were going live and they
228
00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:14,800
were recording them, it was like
kind of a shock to me.
229
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,080
And I was trying to just like,
wrap my mind around everything
230
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,480
that was going on.
He just was like, weaponizing
231
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:20,080
it.
Yeah.
232
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,120
And it became really just gross.
And I know, exploitative.
233
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,720
Yeah, I I feel so bad for Ruby
just seeing the look on.
234
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,560
Also, can we give it up for
Billy Gibson?
235
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:37,320
I mean, jeez Louise.
Like, so fantastic, just the
236
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,240
look in her face and how it just
progressively gets more
237
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:45,080
devastated and just of course,
of course this happened to me.
238
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,120
Especially when she it seems
like she's opened up her open
239
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,480
herself up to someone finally.
And you know, that point that
240
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,920
you made about Cherry and Carla
of them being so excited because
241
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,520
from the outside, they can see
that she's stuck, that Ruby is
242
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,640
not herself and she's trying to
find herself.
243
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,400
And so this seems like a moment
for them to be like, oh, you're
244
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,640
you're trying something new.
You're getting out of your shell
245
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,320
again.
We can see a little bit of
246
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:11,960
yourself.
And you know, there's even a
247
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,440
part when he kind of is like
throwing everything in her face
248
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,200
once everything is revealed.
And he's like, oh, I had to
249
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,240
listen to you whine and I had to
listen to your stupid keyboard
250
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,360
songs.
And it's almost these things of
251
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,960
she's opening up to someone.
And maybe she's finally
252
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,840
expressing herself again through
music, and he's throwing that in
253
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,080
her face as if those are bad
things.
254
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,720
He literally said everything
that who she is is annoying.
255
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,040
That's so that's so devastating.
That's so devastating.
256
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,240
It's one of those things where,
I think, you know, she got
257
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,040
infatuated by him, obviously,
and she was starting to fall for
258
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,040
him, which everything we saw.
OK, yeah, that makes sense.
259
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,200
There was a meet queue
everything.
260
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,040
I think her going on that
podcast was very much like, this
261
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,800
is a way for me to talk about
the doctor because I love the
262
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,800
doctor and is a little obsessed,
right?
263
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,680
And she's just waiting for that
adventure again.
264
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,760
But to have to finally have this
other person, they, her family
265
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,640
unit says, like, oh, she hasn't
talked to other doctor in, like,
266
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,560
weeks.
And so she's finally being able
267
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:16,040
to be herself.
And then she's told again that,
268
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,280
no, I what whoever you are, I
don't want it.
269
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:20,960
Yeah.
It's not worthy of my time.
270
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,000
And that's all she felt with her
mother abandoning her.
271
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,080
It's so sad.
It's so like, can she catch a
272
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,800
break?
It, it doesn't seem like it,
273
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,560
right?
And it seems so unfair.
274
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,640
And so, you know, I, I really
hope that we get to see Ruby
275
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,640
progress and come into her own
more.
276
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,360
I think that would be unfair to
us as the viewer and unfair to
277
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,080
the character to kind of just
leave her squandering.
278
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,560
And I, and I mean, at the end of
the episode, she does regain
279
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,120
some of the power, but there's
no closure for her in any of
280
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:53,440
this.
I think she says to Kate
281
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,520
something like she acknowledges
it.
282
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,760
She's like, I think I need some
time for me, like outside of the
283
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,440
Doctor and outside of all of
this.
284
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,880
I don't know how long she's
going to get with that because
285
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,120
we were literally I would say 2
episodes away from like the two
286
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,600
parter finale.
So good luck Ruby.
287
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,240
I hope you can get some time in
there.
288
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,800
Again, I am going to harp on the
fact that I believe the Doctor
289
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,200
Who universe needs good
therapists.
290
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:24,880
UNIT needs to take some of their
money out of crazy guns and they
291
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,000
would need to put it into a
mental health department.
292
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,760
I think they should, yeah.
Yeah.
293
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,720
Where's Rose?
Where's Rose at?
294
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,640
And I didn't, you know, I was, I
was listening for Rose.
295
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,200
She Kate says something like Mel
is in Sydney, which tracking
296
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:40,640
something.
I don't know.
297
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,480
But it was like they were
letting us know that Mel's still
298
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,320
around.
Oh, maybe.
299
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,600
So they're they are doing like a
spin off show.
300
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,680
I believe it's still happening.
I haven't heard much about it,
301
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,600
the land and the sea.
So I'm curious if she's going to
302
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,320
be in some capacity involved
with that.
303
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:55,720
I don't know.
We'll see.
304
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,800
Maybe that's why, yeah.
They mentioned her and so kind
305
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,920
of continuing in just this
little bit of the spin off
306
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,680
conversation, I really feel like
they planted some interesting
307
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:08,040
seeds here, especially like the
romance between Kate and I think
308
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,320
it's Captain Abraham.
So it's.
309
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:11,920
Like I call him Captain Arms and
Face.
310
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,320
Guard Oh yeah, he's a, he's a
real hottie.
311
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,000
But it was like they were really
kind of putting some plot points
312
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,160
into place.
You know, we even have Shirley
313
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,600
Anne Bingham come back.
So it's like, is this going to
314
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,040
be our unit crew for the spin
off?
315
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,320
I don't know.
I mean, I always worry about
316
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,480
spin offs, right?
I think Torchwood had some
317
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,040
success with being a spin off
from Doctor Who.
318
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:40,240
I worry in this current state of
like streamers and stuff like
319
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:47,240
that on the, I don't know,
willingness and the studios
320
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,040
trusting that it will happen
because IA lot of these studios
321
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,760
tend to be like, oh, in the
first 3 episodes of the first
322
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,520
season, it didn't capture his
viewership.
323
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,760
Now we need to pull the plug.
When in reality, I think if it's
324
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,440
not like a huge like sometimes
it takes a minute for people to
325
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,240
discover things and for it to
find its audience.
326
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,200
I don't this is like a really
weird example, but Gilmore
327
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,480
Girls, while it was really
popular when it was on, it got
328
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,400
so extremely popular when it
went on Netflix.
329
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,480
So I think that's a weird
example, but I just think it
330
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,640
takes time for like an audience
to find something.
331
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,920
Yeah, but unfortunately it's
just not how it works now.
332
00:17:23,079 --> 00:17:24,160
Right.
And Doctor?
333
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,200
Who it's always now it's just
the fanbase is weird.
334
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,000
Like people are always rooting
for it to end for some weird
335
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,160
reason, and then people always
want it to continue.
336
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,040
So I don't know, it's weird, but
I, I, I always want more Doctor
337
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,120
Who.
I don't care.
338
00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:40,400
Like I could want something
where it's literally like in
339
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,400
Donna's garden.
Just talking about what's
340
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,480
happening in the world outside
of Doctor Who.
341
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,120
This if this UNIT spin off, it
really seems like it would be
342
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,800
sort of like an Agents of SHIELD
type thing, which is hard
343
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,400
because I think when you're
watching Doctor Who, you're
344
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,880
looking for the time travel,
you're looking for the creatures
345
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,480
you're looking for this sort of
silliness every so often with
346
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,920
this cast of characters that
they have here, it feels like it
347
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,680
would be a very serious show.
Yeah, I feel it could be
348
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,240
serious.
It could be, yeah.
349
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,000
It would be very like political,
almost like a political
350
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,240
thriller.
It could be supernaturally.
351
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,480
You know, the way that they
dealt with the shriek in this
352
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,200
episode I kind of liked because
it showed that they had a
353
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,520
containment unit for all of
these different types of
354
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,760
entities and creatures and stuff
like that.
355
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,440
So I think it could be
interesting.
356
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,880
I don't I don't know how much
legs it has that would like they
357
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,640
would almost have to have
crossovers and really spill into
358
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:42,240
each other to not make people
watch it but like why?
359
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,480
Why does this have to exist?
Right, Yeah, and or, or some
360
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,640
while I like Kate and Cap the
captain, I feel like we need a
361
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,440
stronger, I don't know,
character at the lead.
362
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,680
Then Kate.
How dare you.
363
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,320
Kate is a legend.
Sorry.
364
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,520
I think Kate would be No I I
agree.
365
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,720
I think now her status is more
like she comes in when shit is
366
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,960
bad and she's the person that
you don't want to piss off.
367
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:08,760
And she's also that legacy
character.
368
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,160
So she's definitely there.
But I agree they would have to
369
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,960
almost fill it out.
Almost, but I don't.
370
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:20,280
I like having like headquartery
type shows like that can tend to
371
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:24,640
get a little repetitious.
So I would be very cautious of
372
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,360
that.
I I think in Ruby has said
373
00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:31,680
something when she's talking to
Conrad about stuff and she's
374
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,720
like, well, aliens exist.
We all know that when she's on
375
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,760
the show.
So it's like, yeah, the the
376
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,200
world does know aliens exist.
So it's interesting to see how
377
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,680
the world kind of perceives the
Doctor Who universe.
378
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,920
Well if if anyone needs it's
this spin off.
379
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,720
It's Ruby, that's for sure.
I would watch it all of them.
380
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,000
But so my question is, is like,
I feel like whenever I watch
381
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,320
shows like this, I'm always
wondering how much this the
382
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,160
general public know, right?
And it's so it's like the
383
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,920
general public, they know the
doctor exists.
384
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,640
And they know that unit exists.
Yes and no.
385
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,960
I, I think sometimes it does get
confusing with like timelines
386
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,680
and how much they do know
because we get so little of what
387
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,720
they know.
But it's apparent that like it's
388
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,040
not a secret to talk about these
things existing.
389
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,840
I just think it's a secret of
what they can do because a big
390
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,800
thing in this episode, it's
like, imagine if, like, you
391
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,080
know, other people got access to
that time window or even time
392
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,120
travel and stuff like that.
It would be really bad.
393
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,080
So I don't think that everybody
knows about that, but they know
394
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,800
that there's stuff, there's
things that exist.
395
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,480
And obviously that their tax
dollars are going towards it.
396
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:45,080
Yeah, which God, I this is the I
like having an episode like this
397
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,720
in this current like political
climate is so stressful.
398
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,520
It's like because Oh yeah,
before like I would I would love
399
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,000
to be like this would never
happen.
400
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,800
Like imagine if a government was
ran like this.
401
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:58,840
It's literally happening right
now.
402
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,600
Yeah.
So we're living through the
403
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,840
apocalypse.
What did you think of Think Tank
404
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,920
and all of them?
I got it.
405
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:07,960
You know, it's so funny.
You're like think tank, what
406
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,200
does it mean?
But it's just one of those like
407
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:15,280
generally branded nonsense
things that people latch onto.
408
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,920
And so I mean, it made sense,
right?
409
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:23,560
And taking kind of the truth and
twisting it for conspiracies
410
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,720
gain.
You have a charismatic, good
411
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,360
looking guy at the head of it
who spews enough lies with
412
00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:32,800
enough passion and people are
going to follow it.
413
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,040
Look, if Ariel could fall for
him and Ruby can fall for him,
414
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,240
who's to say we can't fall for?
Him.
415
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,040
He didn't even sing in this
episode.
416
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,600
I didn't sing.
Yeah, I I think yeah, they they
417
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,440
made sense.
They were very annoying.
418
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,320
But to villainize Unit in this
episode and kind of put them as
419
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,680
the bad guys was a really
interesting, I don't know, side
420
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,720
to be on, even though we're
rooting for them and we know
421
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,000
that they're not bad, right?
It was just interesting to see
422
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,040
the world and media kind of turn
on them.
423
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:07,200
And there's even the comment of,
you know, he's Conrad is playing
424
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,320
sort of like this every man,
this almost pauper, this look
425
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,440
how my life has been ruined.
And then Kate's like or, or
426
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,520
someone at unit.
It's like he has 80,000 paid
427
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,000
subscribers.
He's super rich, like he's lying
428
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,400
about his mother.
And so it's like, you know, he's
429
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,960
capitalizing on the kind of
foolishness of the general
430
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,720
public.
I there's this whole thing, I
431
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,640
don't know, I think there's some
people that keep getting access
432
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:40,040
and, and things that shouldn't
get it and it's just constantly
433
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,720
happening and it's very
frustrating.
434
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,160
There's a this is like
completely sideways, but it goes
435
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,240
along with the same point.
There's a, there's a recent
436
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,520
thing coming out about the Oscar
voters, right?
437
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,400
And that, oh, some of the Oscar
voters would just press play
438
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,680
because they need to see that
they watched it but wouldn't
439
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,920
actually watch it.
And so it's like, why are people
440
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,440
like that continuing to get
access when it's like there's
441
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,320
people that deserve access or
just fighting get their stuff
442
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,720
seen, but these people are just
entitled to it.
443
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,480
And it's kind of the same thing.
You see all these like
444
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,360
thumbnails on YouTube of like
Doctor Who Woke that all the
445
00:23:12,360 --> 00:23:14,120
stuff.
And it's like, why are those
446
00:23:14,120 --> 00:23:17,200
things getting hundreds and
thousands of views?
447
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,280
And people are paying them for
this even though they're just
448
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,080
hate watching it?
It's like, turn the channel on
449
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,200
them, silence that noise.
Like we need to just like, stop
450
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,160
it.
Yeah, I, I, I don't understand
451
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,600
it either.
And it's, I don't know it.
452
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:35,120
It's something to be said of
like the squeaky gear gets the
453
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,160
oil.
Someone yelling just foolishness
454
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,720
as loudly as possible seems to
get more love and more views
455
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,200
than people you know having an
intelligent conversation about a
456
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,960
property.
I mean, it's not even that it's
457
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,520
Yeah, I mean, listen to us, not
them.
458
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,440
Yeah, it's sorry.
That was like a weird soap boxy
459
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,400
moment.
But I think this episode plays
460
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,520
into that, right?
It plays into the just how much
461
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,200
people can get influenced just
to jump on a bandwagon, which is
462
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,280
stupid.
They they all know they're
463
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,080
lying.
So let's talk about the ending
464
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,240
here.
I did think it was a cool detail
465
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:13,680
that Remember when the doctor
first meets Belinda and he's
466
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,600
like, oh, your name is Melinda?
I was told, like I was told
467
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,560
about you already.
We find out that that's Conrad.
468
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,680
Conrad is the one that kind of
dropped to that hand.
469
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,160
But so like the final showdown
in UNIT, which I thought was
470
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,560
quite crazy because Kate almost
went too far.
471
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,320
Like she was, I don't know how
far she was going to let that go
472
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,800
because she didn't give Ruby the
thing to shock the shriek.
473
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,360
Like how far was Kate going to
let this go?
474
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:43,800
I wanted her to let it go all
the way.
475
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,480
No, she can't stoop to that
level though.
476
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,720
That's dangerous.
I don't know.
477
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,080
And it was live streamed.
And then they could have seen
478
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,640
that, but then they would have
said it was fake.
479
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:54,440
Whatever.
I know.
480
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:59,120
But you know, when there's a
character as infuriating as
481
00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:03,880
Conrad, you want them to come to
their ultimate end because as we
482
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,760
see, because he didn't come to
his ultimate end, now he's able
483
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,560
to create more trouble.
And so I kind of wanted Kate.
484
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,880
I, I see how angry Kate was.
I see how frustrated she was,
485
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,680
you know, and it's that annoying
thing of like, well, when they
486
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,080
go low, we go high.
It's like, well, sometimes we
487
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:21,960
want to go low too.
No, Yeah.
488
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,720
I mean, I I don't even think
it's about going low.
489
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,800
I just think it's about no,
these are consequences, murder.
490
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,560
And you deserve to get eaten by
a shriek.
491
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,520
Yeah, You were given the
antidote.
492
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,800
I think you didn't take it.
Yeah.
493
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,360
Yeah.
I this whole, I think the ending
494
00:25:40,360 --> 00:25:42,200
was fine, right?
I, I was worried that Kate was
495
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,160
going to go too far.
I maybe there's going to be some
496
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,880
consequences with that later on.
But what I really liked about
497
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,440
the end of this episode is after
Conrad is has his arm reattached
498
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,960
with some technology, he's in
his cell and the Doctor kind of
499
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,880
like, summons him into the
TARDIS.
500
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:02,320
I just love the idea of the
Doctor always having tabs on his
501
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,040
companions whenever they get
wronged.
502
00:26:04,360 --> 00:26:06,600
So like, if somebody's really
rude to them, does he do this?
503
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,560
He's like you don't ever.
You hurt my friend.
504
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,400
Yeah, even like a nasty barista.
Yeah, he'll he'll bring them
505
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:15,920
into the TARDIS and give them
what for?
506
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,680
Absolutely.
But this, Oh my, I think this is
507
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:26,320
the first time we've really seen
the Anshuti like do the not dark
508
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,120
side, but the scary side of the
Doctor.
509
00:26:29,360 --> 00:26:32,680
It was hinted at a little bit in
the beginning of the season, but
510
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,160
his like full on, this is a
Doctor's speech.
511
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,000
I love a Doctor's speech.
All the Doctors incarnations of
512
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,840
the Doctors have their speech
moments, and this was one of
513
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,440
them for Anshuti.
That's going to be like up
514
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,560
there.
And I think that this moment is
515
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,520
really powerful on a number of
levels, right?
516
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,640
We have this like white in cell
guy and then we have this
517
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,760
Blackbeard Dr., you know, really
standing in front of him and
518
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,680
giving him what for.
And you know, you want Conrad to
519
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,080
listen.
And I think Conrad is scared,
520
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,160
but obviously not scared enough.
No, he's not scared enough.
521
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,440
And I just the, the, some of the
things that the doctor says here
522
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,720
is just saying that like I fight
for everyday people that just
523
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,520
want to exist.
And then you come in here with
524
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:23,520
this noise, this relentless
noise, you're nothing.
525
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,200
You're ash in the wind, like,
just completely, like, putting
526
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,880
it in his face, like what you're
doing is not worth it.
527
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,320
And it's nothing.
And it's like, I think it's
528
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,480
like, what is he saying here?
He says something like, he's
529
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,560
like, I have all the time in the
universe and energy to spend.
530
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,520
And I was like, yes, he does.
Yeah.
531
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,280
Got him, got him, got him, got.
Him, he's so good, but then to
532
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,920
have Conrad just say I don't
accept your reality is also just
533
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:56,280
so frustrating on like just a
base level of like you can't
534
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,480
can't, you can't make up a
reality.
535
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,800
But that's how easy it is.
That's how easy it is.
536
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,720
You could literally show someone
in black and white, you can be
537
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:11,240
the living person saying I
exist, I'm real, I'm here and
538
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,560
they go, I don't believe it.
Oh.
539
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,280
My God.
Welcome to our life.
540
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,720
God it's so infuriating.
But to have the doctor go as
541
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,880
like dark as like, you're going
to die in the cell at the age of
542
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,080
49 when your heart gives out in
the same exact cell, lonely,
543
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,400
unloved.
See, but us as foolish viewers,
544
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,360
we think, well, he's going to be
in that specific cell he's in,
545
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,320
but I think unfortunately he's
not going to be in that.
546
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,560
I don't.
Know he might, you never know,
547
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,680
maybe things get reversed and he
gets put back in there.
548
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:46,560
But having Missus Flood come to
Conrad and call herself the
549
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,560
governor, which I think that's
just, which is calling herself
550
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:56,600
then and there, but her saying
it's bigger isn't like it's
551
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:57,920
bigger.
Not bigger on the inside.
552
00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,360
She says something in the
inside, it's bigger.
553
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,480
She says it weirdly.
But so does that mean that she's
554
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:06,200
been inside the TARDIS?
It's I think that it's feeling
555
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,960
more and more to me like she is
another spurned.
556
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,520
I just, I hope it's not.
The set 'cause remember, in the
557
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,240
first season, the second it
landed, she knew exactly what it
558
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,440
was and she told Ruby to go for
it.
559
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,800
The weird thing was is that she
didn't recognize it at 1st and
560
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,600
then when we saw her again with
it then she was like, you've
561
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,320
never seen a TARDIS Because when
she first sees it she's like oh
562
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,840
what is this?
OK, ultimate, ultimate
563
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,880
hypothesis.
That's Ruby.
564
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:39,360
No, no, no, no.
We've seen Ruby though, when
565
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,280
she's older, she doesn't like
anything like Missus Flood.
566
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:48,760
I I'm still on the side of maybe
it's his child, you know, I, I,
567
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,640
it just kind of almost makes
sense.
568
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,400
Like maybe it just took the
TARDIS being close to like
569
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,560
reignite some of those memories.
I don't know.
570
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,280
There's so many theories out
there with Missus Flood, but why
571
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:07,040
is she like gathering people
that were beaten or scorned or I
572
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,040
don't know, the doctor is
defeated, why is she gathering
573
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:11,680
them?
Because they got a chip on their
574
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,000
shoulders, baby.
They want to get revenge.
575
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,280
Yeah, there's a lot of hand.
And and you know what, I, I hope
576
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,840
it's something like what we're
talking about because I think I
577
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:27,320
would be frustrated if it was
like she's just another God
578
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,920
like, oh, I.
Think we need to be prepared for
579
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,960
that though.
Or just like she's a Time Lord,
580
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,000
you know, there's been theories
out there that she might be like
581
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,600
certain Time Lord, which I'm not
going to say if you don't want
582
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,840
to get spoiled, but I don't
know, who knows?
583
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,080
Also, could she possibly be the
master?
584
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,880
There's too many theories.
But I I really like that they're
585
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,160
going more and more with misses
Flood in the season.
586
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,000
And we obviously can see that
she can time travel in some sort
587
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,720
of way.
So is she connected to the
588
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,160
TARDIS or what?
Does she have her own TARDIS?
589
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,840
So I guess we'll see.
But man, I will say I missed
590
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,200
Ruby.
I I really did that, that scene
591
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,560
in the pub when that guy was
like, who put you in charge?
592
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,080
She's like, why don't you go get
some fresh air?
593
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:09,960
How about?
That, yeah.
594
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:13,680
Oh, I missed her.
And then her explaining to
595
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,000
Conrad how the shriek works and
just that whole scene of the
596
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,680
lights flickering and getting
dark.
597
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,200
So good, So so good.
I I really like this episode.
598
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,080
I missed the doctor and I missed
our story that we were on, but
599
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,120
it was a nice little pit stop.
I miss Belinda, so I'm looking
600
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,440
forward to this next episode
with more Belinda and more
601
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,200
Doctor.
I I'm curious if we're going to
602
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:35,960
see the rogue.
I know this is sideways, but I'm
603
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,320
just trying to see like we have
some strings that are kind of
604
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,160
hanging from their first season,
and I'm just curious if we're
605
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,520
going to get some rogue stuff or
if that's going to be like a
606
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,520
future, future thing.
But when?
607
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,720
Yeah.
When do all of our characters
608
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,680
meet?
We shall see.
609
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,800
OK, well so we have episode 5
next week.
610
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,880
Let us know what you thought of
this episode, and if you thought
611
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,880
it was the Doctor's lucky day,
it really wasn't Ruby's.
612
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,680
I think it was just Conrad's.
I think just the bad person got
613
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,520
the lucky day every time.
That's always the way it works.
614
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,520
All right, we're going to go cry
now.
