00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,000
Upon watching this episode I
feel very relieved because often
2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,920
when I'm watching TVI say which
victim am I in this story but
3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:13,680
because I am bald I no longer
have to go get my haircut so I
4
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,880
am safe.
So please start thinking of
5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:26,480
stories for yourself.
I'm Derek.
6
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,600
That's Noah, and this is a bite
of And today we are talking
7
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,479
about Doctor Who Season 2
Episode 5.
8
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,360
Here we go more than halfway
through the season, Sir.
9
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,160
Man, now I can actually hold up
a 5.
10
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:39,640
That's right.
I don't know numbers.
11
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,640
I never claimed to be a
mathematician.
12
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,280
So, you know, here we are.
Yes, we are.
13
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,400
Three episodes.
Yeah, I think 3 episodes away
14
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,280
from the finale of Doctor Who or
the third episode of This is the
15
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,480

00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,560
But yeah, let's get into it.
Spoilers The latest episode of
21
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,000
Doctor Who.
Let us officially take a bite of
22
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,200
Doctor Who Season 2 Episode 5,
The Story and the Engine,
23
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,600
written by Inua Alams and
directed by Michaela McPherson.
24
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,280
The Doctor and Belinda land in
Nigeria where the Doctor goes to
25
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,160
visit an old friend.
He finds a cryptic sign telling
26
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,200
him to turn back.
Once he enters a barbershop, he
27
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,520
is trapped with a group of
missing men who must tell
28
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,680
stories in order to power a
mysterious engine.
29
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,040
So Sir, what did you think of
Episode 5?
30
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:42,360
I think this episode is very
different and pushes a lot of
31
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,720
new concepts for Doctor Who.
I really enjoyed it.
32
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,680
I love exposition heavy
episodes.
33
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:53,240
I think the performances were
off the charts here and I really
34
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:58,000
appreciated them.
And not that we need to focus on
35
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,800
oh the doctor's a woman, oh, the
doctor's a person of color, Oh
36
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,400
the doctor's a queer person, the
person that's playing them,
37
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,440
right.
But I like that they acknowledge
38
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,800
it and especially telling
stories of Nigerian roots with
39
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,760
an actor that is Nigerian, I
think is awesome.
40
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,160
And this is the things that I
love about Doctor Who.
41
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,880
Like I don't think we've ever
had a story set in Nigeria for
42
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,200
Doctor Who.
So it's just, it's great, right?
43
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,440
I think with it being exposition
heavy, it's going to divide
44
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,280
people that some people might
think it's slow, some people
45
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,520
aren't.
I like it, some people will
46
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,000
think it's amazing.
So that's what Doctor Who's
47
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,120
about, right?
You like some, you don't like
48
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,480
some, but here we are.
Yeah, I, I think this, I think
49
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,360
this was an interesting episode.
Like you said, you brought up so
50
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,200
many positives about this.
I think the costuming, the sets,
51
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,080
the way that they told the
stories within this episode were
52
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,800
really, really strong.
But what's so interesting is
53
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,360
that I think part of the
storytelling wasn't actually
54
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,720
that strong within of the
episode, meaning I think that
55
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,520
the first half of this episode
was really great and I think it
56
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,720
kind of got a little cumbersome
a little bit.
57
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,560
It fell apart in the
second-half.
58
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,080
So it it's kind of 5050 for me.
Not that I thought that it was
59
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,680
terrible, but looking at it from
like a reviewer standpoint, I
60
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,240
think that there were some
things they could have done to
61
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,360
either tighten it up or maybe
let it breathe a little more.
62
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:25,720
Yeah, I yeah, I think it, the
concepts and the story itself
63
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,160
was bigger than one episode.
And it's hard to really do a
64
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,520
beginning and an end with
something that seems this big
65
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,640
and a lot of twists and turns in
this episode.
66
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,880
I feel that.
I think I just liked it a lot,
67
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,960
but I wanted more.
And it's going to be one of
68
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,640
those episodes where I have to
watch it a few times to fully
69
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,480
understand it because we watch
we watch the Screener and really
70
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,440
haven't had time to like, watch
it again.
71
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,120
And I feel like a second watch
will really benefit this story.
72
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,720
And I'm not sure if that's a
positive or negative because
73
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,280
again, I enjoyed it, but I can
see where it's like that.
74
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,000
Wait, what?
That's kind of confusing.
75
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,080
Or like, how did we, what are we
doing here?
76
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,320
But I think the concept of
powering an engine with stories,
77
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,760
sitting in the Barber chair,
having you tell a story and if
78
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,000
it's a good story, powering the
engine, we're good to go.
79
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,279
We get the green light.
If it's not, we can't power the
80
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,440
engine.
I think is such a cool concept
81
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,680
and just like you said, this
showing the stories through that
82
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,120
painting and through those
images was just just added a
83
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,520
layer to it.
Yeah, I think there's an
84
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,800
interesting question at the
heart of this of what makes a
85
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,480
good story, right?
What makes the engine go green?
86
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,040
What is it about these stories?
Is it the heart?
87
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,000
Is it how personal it is?
And, you know, these men that
88
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,960
are trapped there, they're
scared that they're going to run
89
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,280
out of stories.
And the interesting thing is, is
90
00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:49,240
because they're trapped there,
they might at some point run out
91
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,600
of them because they're not out
experiencing life.
92
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:54,720
So there's a bit of a conundrum
in here of of these stories.
93
00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:00,640
But you know, so much in I think
our lives is, is is the value
94
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,720
and the power of stories.
I'm going to step up my
95
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,760
librarian soapbox here.
Just this week, Doctor Carla
96
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,360
Hayden was fired from being the
Librarian of Congress.
97
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,480
And the reasoning that was given
was that she was doing too much
98
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,280
work with DEI and putting
dangerous books on the shelves
99
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:18,680
in the children's sections.
So which we know this is
100
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,520
probably stories about BIPOC
people, about gay people.
101
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,800
And so there's the power of
stories there and how the regime
102
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,920
that is running this country
right now is afraid of those
103
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,320
stories, right?
So I think, although that's not
104
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,600
necessarily what's being said in
this episode, there is the power
105
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,760
of stories and how there is such
power educating people.
106
00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:41,960
But what's really cool about
this is that this whole setting
107
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,480
of taking place in this
barbershop.
108
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:48,640
So the writer of this episode,
Inua Alam, is is of Nigerian
109
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,520
descent and wrote a play called
The Barbershop Chronicles that
110
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,120
really centers on the a
barbershop as a community hub
111
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,560
and the relationship a Barber
has with their patrons and when
112
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,000
they come in and tell them
stories.
113
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,960
And so it's such a central part
of of our episode here.
114
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,200
But of course, you know, after
they get their hair cut, the
115
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,400
patrons supposed to be able to
leave the barbershop, which is,
116
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,360
of course, not what happens
here.
117
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,360
But I did love Wheat.
So we have this mysterious
118
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,280
Barber figure here.
And one of the details I loved
119
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,040
was the trimmer that he had and
how it looked.
120
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,680
And I thought that was such a
cool thing and how they really
121
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,720
zoomed in on that mask, on that
face, on that trimmer.
122
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,800
So how did you feel about the
Barber in this episode?
123
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,160
Yeah, I, I, well, I think the
concepts are really cool.
124
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,640
The Barber is an interesting
character because I think I
125
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,440
walked away being like, wait,
who was he?
126
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:47,920
And maybe that was the point,
because the at one point the
127
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:53,000
Barber, when questioned, says,
I'm Loki, I'm Dionysus, I am
128
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:55,360
Anansi.
I'm all of these things, these
129
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,080
pretty much these tricksters,
these storytellers, right,
130
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,680
People that are known for lying
or, you know, dealing with
131
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,480
consumption of things to, I
don't know, exaggerate
132
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,440
something.
I think that's really
133
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,960
interesting.
And we do find out that it was
134
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,320
just a demigod that was scorned
by the gods and took what they
135
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,120
made and wanted to get revenge
on them, right.
136
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:20,520
I thought that was really cool.
The detail with the the tremors,
137
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,520
awesome because it adds kind of
new and old to this.
138
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,280
Doctor Who is very much leaning
into the fantastical.
139
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,760
Ever since 14 did the salt at
the edge of the universe, it's
140
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,280
kind of made things a little
more mystical and magical.
141
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,200
So I like that they're leaning
into that.
142
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:41,840
Do I think that we will see more
of this Barber?
143
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,680
Maybe.
I think it would be cool.
144
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,280
There's a lot to explore here
because there's multiple
145
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,680
characters are intertwined with
this, but I think this is the
146
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,720
most we've heard about gods
outside of like the pantheon.
147
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,120
And so we can assume that all of
the gods are a real thing
148
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,640
because the Doctors actually
interacted with some of them.
149
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:05,720
So I don't know, it has a lot of
interesting implications.
150
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,640
I think this is a closer to also
I think this is the closest to
151
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,440
Chibbles era, the one that did
Jodie Whittaker that we've
152
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,200
gotten so far like outside of.
His era, I did think it was fun
153
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,320
to hear of the doctors stories
of partying with all of those
154
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,920
gods you know, and so when you
are a being that can transcend
155
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,720
time and space, you're going to
have run insurance with these
156
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,159
guys and I and I liked that it
was also gods from all different
157
00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:35,960
cultures, right.
Not saying that you know, one
158
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,200
set of gods is the real gods,
but doctor has been able to
159
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,039
party with all of them.
What a wildlife, the doctor
160
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,680
leads.
There's one thing that I think
161
00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:48,200
is because the stories and
everything that's a big central
162
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:53,560
part of this, of this episode,
the one of the, the Barber, the
163
00:08:53,560 --> 00:08:58,640
person that owns the shop, Oma,
he tells the story of the
164
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,320
doctor.
And it very much seems like a
165
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,840
story that people would tell
about a God or something like
166
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,760
that.
And the way that the doctor
167
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,320
almost when they're when he
finds out that they're trying to
168
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,560
defeat the gods or like he's
trying to get revenge on them,
169
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:17,280
which would essentially erase
them from all of history.
170
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,440
It's it's a weird thing because
it almost feels like and shooty
171
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,480
is or the doctor, I should say,
is almost like, that's me too.
172
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,080
Like what am I without my
stories?
173
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,200
And so there's this weird
parallel between like, is this
174
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,240
like a complex the doctor has or
it's just just something that's
175
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:36,760
really close and dear to their
heart?
176
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,320
Like do they also need the
stories for them to live on
177
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,360
because they're forever living
at this point?
178
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,800
I think it's an interesting
concept to to think about like
179
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,440
the doctors almost paralleling
these gods themselves.
180
00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:51,800
We still don't know who the
Timeless children are.
181
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,160
We still don't know all of that.
So like, where did the doctor
182
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,080
actually come from?
I think it's, I don't know,
183
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,120
maybe keep our eyes out on that.
And even in that story, so I
184
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,320
know that you said that they
have released that story.
185
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,400
I haven't read it, but in what
is described in this episode, it
186
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,320
does feel like he's a God,
right?
187
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,600
The whole the whole village is
on fire.
188
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,720
He comes down in his blue box.
He pulls out a hose.
189
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,800
He puts out all the fire.
And then he's like, love you
190
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,800
guys, see you later, you know?
So he's there.
191
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,560
He's a savior in that moment.
So that's something that, yeah,
192
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:25,760
he does feel like very much a
powerful God who they talk about
193
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,840
in legend, in myth.
And when will he return to save
194
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,560
them?
Not to not to pat myself on the
195
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:38,640
back or but early in the early
aughts of a bite of we used to
196
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,440
have special segments.
And there was the Oh my
197
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,520
trickster God segment, which was
when we covered Loki.
198
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,600
So if you want to hear about
more Trickster gods, please by
199
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,480
all means go back and listen to
that season.
200
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,800
What a throwback.
We used to do the special
201
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,960
segments at the end of the
episodes just for fun.
202
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,920
Just for funsie.
You would listen to us for over
203
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,600
an hour and it'd be like, wait,
one more thing that has there's
204
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,360
nothing.
I mean, I don't think anything
205
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,760
will ever be.
There's another edition of Bird
206
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,040
Facts, but.
I still think about that every
207
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,720
time.
Yeah, so I I do like the
208
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:15,040
addition of I don't I just think
that whole scene with when he's
209
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,320
lying to them, obviously, but
saying how he's all these
210
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,040
different gods and just the
transitions between those gods
211
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,880
and what they look like.
It's just amazing.
212
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,760
The visuals again, I can't I
can't praise them enough in the
213
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,160
season.
I think that they're really
214
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,600
going all out in some of this.
And next next episode, the Song
215
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,360
Intergalactic or Interstellar
Song Contest looks to be another
216
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,360
stunning episode.
Yeah, that's going to be really
217
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,680
cool.
But kind of talking about the
218
00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:43,280
doctor's relationship even more,
we have a character here named
219
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:47,640
Abena who we learn is, I believe
the daughter of Anansi the
220
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,840
spider, who's a trickster God.
And you know, another thing that
221
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,720
we have seen, I think, within
these last two seasons is how
222
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,960
the Doctor affects the lives of
those around him.
223
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,960
And so Abena has a chip on her
shoulder against the Doctor
224
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,800
because she was left behind.
I would say more of a like a, a
225
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,680
vendetta, A vendetta or just, I
don't know, just.
226
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,240
She's mad.
Yeah, she's mad.
227
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,720
And so we see the doctor in that
moment when he realizes who she
228
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,360
is, kind of going through that
feeling of here's another life I
229
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,720
have affected and not
necessarily in a positive way.
230
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:33,600
And then we get a glimpse of the
fugitive Dr. Yeah, I this is
231
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,720
interesting and I, I don't know
if we'll ever get the answer to
232
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,080
this.
Or maybe it's in the Unleashed
233
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,160
episode or something.
So the fugitive Dr. played by
234
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,840
Joe Martin.
I love the future to Doctor
235
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,400
Doctor so much.
I'm a big fan of the Jodie
236
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,120
Whittaker era of the chibble
era.
237
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,200
Of course there's things that
changed everything, but I think
238
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,200
Doctor Who needs to, I don't
know, challenge itself and
239
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,040
expand its boundaries.
And who cares?
240
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,800
The Doctor changed, so should
the story.
241
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,080
Do I agree with everything?
No, but I really like the
242
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:06,920
fugitive Dr. And with the
addition of the Timeless Child,
243
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,480
essentially meaning that the
Doctor has had more lives than
244
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,880
we know, right?
We thought there was only 13 or
245
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,680
15 or whatever it is, and they
could only regenerate 12 or 13
246
00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:19,800
times.
But it turns out the Time Lords
247
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:24,400
were the ones that stole that
genetic trait from the Doctor.
248
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,880
But when we find the fugitive
Dr., that's when we realize, oh,
249
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,880
so does this Doctor like was the
fugitive Dr. before Artno, which
250
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:38,000
is the very first Doctor?
It seems to be, yes.
251
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:43,640
So with the Doctor not knowing
the other lies prior to
252
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,480
Hartnell, Jodie Whitaker and all
of that, it begs questions of
253
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,840
like, oh, so do they now
remember it?
254
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:56,120
Or did our current Doctor
remember Abby here and being the
255
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,280
fugitive Doctor because they're
in this story engine?
256
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:00,840
Like, was it a situational
thing?
257
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,080
I think there are some weird
questions and they're playing
258
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,480
with like we're kind of soft
retconning it or not is to be
259
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,920
seen.
But I just as soon as Joe
260
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,720
Martin's face came on that
screen, I was like, yes, it's
261
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,000
just so cool.
So, so cool.
262
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:21,400
Yeah, I, I really enjoyed that,
where we're kind of behind a
263
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,000
bana and we're looking at
Anshuti and then as it pans
264
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,400
over, it goes to one side,
there's Joe and then it comes
265
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,920
back to Anshuti.
So, you know, it really is
266
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,880
showing that they are 1, you
know, in a way, and that their
267
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,880
memories are a part of each
other.
268
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,120
So yeah, that was, that was a
really cool part.
269
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,560
But I think if you're looking at
it from a like the world and the
270
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,040
universe of Doctor Who, there
are definitely some questions
271
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:45,800
there.
Yeah.
272
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,360
And I like that they almost
explained to that because Abena
273
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,840
is very much like you left me.
And it's one of those things
274
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,840
that we have seen a Doctor Who
before of like the forgotten
275
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,040
companion or the person that was
left behind or the mistake that
276
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,240
the doctor did.
And I like to the line of the
277
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,440
fugitive Dr. saying like I was a
fugitive, but like I was already
278
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,960
in another story like that might
another story was happening and
279
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,800
I, I couldn't, you know.
So I, I'm curious if we'll, I
280
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,920
believe she says a line of
something like has yet to be
281
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,360
told or like maybe we'll find
out.
282
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,160
And I'm wondering if it's going
to be in a Big Finish audio
283
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:22,560
story or will we see it again?
They could very much, hey, do a
284
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,760
whole series of just showing
what happened with future to
285
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:25,920
Doctor.
I would be down with it.
286
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,760
But yeah, I think it was a fun
episode for Easter eggs for fans
287
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,120
of the show.
Not only that, but we saw all
288
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,040
the other incarnations of the
Doctor again, another weird
289
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,040
parallel from last season to
now, when in the Rogue episode
290
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,960
we saw all of his faces.
This episode we see his faces
291
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,440
again.
But I did like that this episode
292
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,880
was very much a black cast
outside of flashbacks or TV
293
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,480
screens.
So I I, I like that.
294
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,760
I, I think again, adding the
fugitive Dr. here is
295
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,560
acknowledging that the chibble
stuff happened.
296
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,000
How far it will go, I don't
know.
297
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,560
We'll see.
One of the things that I was a
298
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,440
little disappointed in this
episode and I I'm still hoping
299
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,600
will change that.
At the beginning of this season,
300
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,920
I was really hoping that Belinda
would be a more actionable
301
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,920
character.
And, and in this episode we
302
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:20,200
don't even again, it's the role
of the companion, I guess, is to
303
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,080
follow the Doctor and do
whatever the Doctor's doing.
304
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,280
And so, you know, she's always,
she's just kind of taking orders
305
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,680
from him.
She's running after him.
306
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,640
But when he leaves her behind
initially when they land in
307
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,120
Nigeria.
And so she is in the TARDIS and
308
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:39,400
we're seeing the TARDIS react to
the barbershop engine, which is
309
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,640
something interesting as well,
right?
310
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,640
Because for the TARDIS to be
mimicking something outside of
311
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,120
it, like, what does that mean?
What does that connection mean?
312
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,040
I don't, I'm not sure.
I don't know.
313
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,400
I don't know if it was just like
an added effect or added mystery
314
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,000
or we'll never get acknowledge
it again, because I don't think
315
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,720
Belinda even mentioned it.
Maybe she did to the Doctor.
316
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,800
Like the TARDIS was acting weird
so that's why it came out.
317
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,960
I don't know.
I, I, it was weird that anytime
318
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,720
the barbershop door opens that
then the TARDIS would act funny.
319
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,400
Maybe they're connected somehow,
because at the end, in the
320
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,160
climax of this, the Doctor is
very much connected to the story
321
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,079
engine and their story alone
could power this entire thing,
322
00:17:20,079 --> 00:17:23,200
which I think is just a fun, I
don't know, like a heart warming
323
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,440
thing with the Doctor.
Like they've lived so many
324
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,760
lives, they have so many stories
to tell that they could just
325
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:33,320
power an entire interweb, you
know, on the side of like
326
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,320
Belinda.
I, I agree with you, but I also
327
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,280
don't only in that this is kind
of the role of the companion.
328
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,760
And I do think that this episode
was very much for Anshuti, very
329
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,400
much for this Doctor.
But I did like that they were
330
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:53,560
able to find a way for Belinda
to be involved in this, in that
331
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,520
talking to Abina and saying hurt
people hurt people.
332
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:03,160
And that flips kind of, Oh, OK.
So I shouldn't just be festering
333
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:07,320
in my hate for my father or for
the Doctor hearing what the
334
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,520
doctor had to say and that they
wish they could have taken them
335
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,000
with them.
And yeah, my, my father hurt me,
336
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,320
but maybe I should stop hurting
people and be good.
337
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,160
So I, I do like that.
Like, she kind of came in and
338
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,120
was like, hey, by the way, maybe
you should just, like, be nice.
339
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,480
Then this guy does like, you
know what?
340
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:24,880
You're fucking right.
Yeah.
341
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,080
Totally.
But also just I honestly like, I
342
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,600
love the story of the doctor in
the blue box and putting out the
343
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,600
fires and everything.
Belinda's story was so heart
344
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:40,440
warming and also so sad.
I just again, the power of a
345
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,440
story that was such a simple
story.
346
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,560
And the doctor talks about like,
you don't need these big things.
347
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,720
You just the an ordinary life is
some of the best stories.
348
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,360
And that was just such good
storytelling.
349
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:55,560
And that she's trying to go to
her, her gran's birthday and she
350
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,360
has to stop.
And this doctor's not listening
351
00:18:57,360 --> 00:18:58,520
to her.
And it's like, OK, you want to
352
00:18:58,520 --> 00:18:59,480
fix it.
It's your story.
353
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,240
But then she ended up saving
this woman's life and this woman
354
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:03,520
came back and was like, thank
you.
355
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,440
It's just, it's so good, that
little moment.
356
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,960
Yeah, and I think we see that
often nurses are the unsung
357
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,800
heroes, right, of the medical
profession.
358
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,760
And so that is very much
illustrated in this.
359
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:17,320
And like you're saying that, you
know, the doctor tells this what
360
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,000
can be deemed as an ordinary
story of an ordinary person's
361
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,200
life, but it's still powerful
enough to charge this engine,
362
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,480
right and make it move forward.
And I think that, you know, I
363
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,280
guess that is part of the magic
of Belinda.
364
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:33,520
I do like that she still had
very much is seen as a valuable
365
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:38,560
figure whether she's in the
TARDIS or at home and and I
366
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:43,160
think that's why I want her to
have more moments in in this
367
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,680
season.
Do you think I I almost feel
368
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,160
this way a little bit?
Not to say Doctor Who usually
369
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,240
doesn't have like a series or
even season long arc of like a
370
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,120
story.
A lot of times I feel like in
371
00:19:55,120 --> 00:19:57,320
the past it's been like kind of
something that's like kind of
372
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,080
snaked its way to the finale.
I think with it, starting with
373
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,080
this big mystery of Belinda and
like, can't get her back home.
374
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:09,840
I think sometimes it's hard for
us to be like, I like the things
375
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,840
that are happening and I like
these stories that we're getting
376
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,600
because that's Doctor Who,
right?
377
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,040
Landing somewhere, story
happens, go somewhere else.
378
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,840
But I think what I'm feeling
with this Belinda stuff is love
379
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,000
everything about the actor and
the character.
380
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,240
But like, he went out, put the
vindicator down, done.
381
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,000
And then it was almost like, OK,
now we're getting a Song
382
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,720
Contest, which obviously the
vindicator is going to come out.
383
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,360
It's going to do its thing,
right?
384
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,240
But almost like, I know there's
a rush, but sometimes it doesn't
385
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,320
feel like it.
And that's just because of the
386
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,120
nature of the show.
So I don't know if it was a good
387
00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:43,280
thing or a bad thing for us to
start that way.
388
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,800
But I am feeling very much like,
how is this story going to like
389
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,720
actually give room for it to
breathe when we're like not
390
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,120
really dealing with it only in
the aspects of Belinda be like,
391
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,880
when am I going home?
And then it goes into the story
392
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,000
of the episode.
So I don't know, I think there
393
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,400
is some weird structural things,
but I'm hoping the two parter
394
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,480
finale is going to give enough
time for like the story to
395
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,560
really pay off I.
Mean, if we think about it right
396
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,400
as we saw in that story of
Belinda's life, she's with a
397
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,480
Doctor Who isn't truly seeing
her value.
398
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,400
And here she is again with a
doctor.
399
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,040
Not that I don't think he's
seeing her value, but her
400
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:29,080
problem is not as big as all the
stuff he wants to deal with,
401
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,200
right?
Because they land here and she's
402
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,840
like, all right, we'll go have
fun, right?
403
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,840
And whereas she wants to go
home.
404
00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:38,560
Yeah, I, I think it's hard for
Belinda in that instance when
405
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:43,280
the doctor explains to Belinda
of, you know, this barbershop is
406
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,200
the place that I feel like I can
be myself.
407
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,840
And it feels very much like
because I'm a, I'm a black
408
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,280
person, I can go here and it
just feels like home.
409
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,920
It feels safety.
And Belinda, we've seen even in
410
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,880
the story that the doctor tells,
it's like always putting other
411
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,960
people before herself.
And so it's just perpetuating
412
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,880
that of like, well, yeah, sure,
go, go on.
413
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,360
I want to say just like anytime
you guys do that, something
414
00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:09,400
happens.
Just like either do it or don't.
415
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,400
Like what's to stop him from
solving Belinda's mystery and
416
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,560
then just going back?
Well, then we want to have the
417
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,080
story.
Yeah, it's funny.
418
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,360
It's like a weird better thing
where it's like you could not do
419
00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:23,960
that but like.
Then there wouldn't be an
420
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,320
episode.
Right then we want to get this
421
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:29,160
beautiful episode, right, Right.
OK, so one thing I did want to
422
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,960
touch on with this is so we
talked about the gods, we talked
423
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,920
about the story.
I think the the way the story
424
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,640
engine looked with the heart and
the brain.
425
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:42,160
Fantastic.
Ebena telling the story of
426
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:49,200
slaves putting like roots to
freedom on the hair and for
427
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,520
other people to read it.
And it was passed from
428
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,480
generation to generation, slave
to slave.
429
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,560
And then she did the thing to
the doctor of showing the route
430
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,160
to get to the story engine.
I think was just, oh, whenever
431
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,480
that happened, I got chills.
I was like, that was just such a
432
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,880
smooth way of telling that story
and then incorporating it into
433
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,080
the story I thought was
beautiful.
434
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,040
But there's one mystery that
happens on the set, kind of gets
435
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,160
mentioned again, but we don't
really talk about it.
436
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,080
And I think it's going to come
into play later is when Belinda
437
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:22,280
is walking to the shop, she sees
a child and the child seems a
438
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,680
little out of place.
My theory with that child,
439
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:26,880
because she says something to
the doctor.
440
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,400
I saw, I saw a child.
It was really weird.
441
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,480
And doctors like, oh, it was
stories were just spilling out,
442
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,000
right?
I for some reason, my gut
443
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,560
reaction was like, that's Poppy
from Space Babies.
444
00:23:39,120 --> 00:23:42,000
And I don't know why, but that's
what I felt.
445
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,280
And I don't know why she would
be there.
446
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:49,000
But it also makes me think,
like, is Belinda a space baby?
447
00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:51,880
I don't know.
I don't know.
448
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,760
It's just like, for some reason
it just my first reaction was
449
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,040
like, that's Poppy.
Yeah.
450
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,240
It just, it just felt like
something that it would be
451
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,880
Doctor Who, right?
Just tying in the first episode
452
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:02,960
into this somehow.
I don't know.
453
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,760
I think that would be a really
great call back.
454
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,920
That would be very cool.
But I guess the question is why
455
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,640
is Poppy there?
Right, right.
456
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:13,360
And are the space babies off
exploring all corners of the
457
00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:16,000
universe and time?
I mean, they are adventurers at
458
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,920
heart.
Are the space babies the
459
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,680
Timeless Children?
Is the Doctor a space baby?
460
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,640
How many generations of space
babies are there?
461
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,600
I just like saying space babies.
Space baby Yeah, yeah, that
462
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,680
that's definitely a mystery.
I think hopefully we get an
463
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,000
answer to it.
But again, I feel like I feel
464
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,800
like I'm mad at the doctor this
this episode because and she's
465
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,160
saying she saw something weird
and he's like, oh, don't worry
466
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,120
about it.
It's a typical doctor though,
467
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,640
until it bites them in the butt.
Why don't they ever listen to
468
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,240
their companions?
They do only when this story
469
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:54,360
needs it.
So final thoughts.
470
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:55,480
Let's get to final thoughts of
this.
471
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,200
We did get a Missus Flood
sighting, of course.
472
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,280
I think she's been in every
episode so far, just like Susan
473
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,400
Twist was in every episode last
season she was in Belinda's
474
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,800
story, which again, very weird
that Misses Flood is involved
475
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,440
with the companion so much.
But final thoughts, I think
476
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,760
again, conceptually and
storytelling wise, great.
477
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,040
There was some interesting
moments where maybe it was
478
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:23,120
solved a little too quickly.
Exposition was good and also not
479
00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:26,200
good.
But I think overall an excellent
480
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,360
episode for Doctor Who.
Overall, I thought it was a good
481
00:25:29,360 --> 00:25:32,040
episode, but my main problems
are really with how things were
482
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:36,720
tied up at the end.
I thought the the 180 turn of of
483
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,600
the Barber really kind of came
out of nowhere.
484
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:45,240
And granted, look, I love the
this, this notion of hurt people
485
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:46,920
hurt people.
So stop the cycle.
486
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,720
I think that's very important
but but I just thought that he
487
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,200
was like so vindictive and so
hell bent on destroying these
488
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,640
gods for him in a moments to
just turn around.
489
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,280
It felt way too easy.
Well, I will say, yeah, that's
490
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,040
Doctor Who, right?
Doctor Who is very much all
491
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,200
about non violence.
They don't use guns, you know,
492
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,680
So it's like it's a lot of
always talking the person into
493
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,600
coming to the realization that
they should come to.
494
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,320
And sometimes in this case, it
just feels a little out of place
495
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,800
because highs of them being so
sought out for revenge is so
496
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:26,000
high that when they do finally
become good or get defeated, it
497
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,960
does seem a little quick.
And I would say that's kind of a
498
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,160
criticism with Doctor Who as a
whole, especially with these
499
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,880
almost self-contained episodes,
which is a bummer because
500
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,840
everything leading up to that
point was so good.
501
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,160
Yeah, that I think in like 40
minutes they had to be like,
502
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,240
well, how do we do the turn?
I don't know.
503
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,920
He saw the error of his waist,
you know, and.
504
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,720
If, if only it were that easy.
That would be a beautiful thing.
505
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:49,720
Yeah.
OK.
506
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,160
So next week we have the Song
Contest, which very excited for
507
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,440
the next time on.
That was just so intense.
508
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,520
And also it takes place during
Eurovision, so you know.
509
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,040
Yeah, they time things out real,
real good and right.
510
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,520
There's like that.
May 20 something date.
511
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,720
Does the does Doctor Who end on
the May 20 something date?
512
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,400
That they're trying to get back
to May 24th.
513
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:13,760
May 24th, right?
Yeah.
514
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,160
So maybe the first one will land
on May 24th and then the next
515
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,320
one will finish after that.
I think it's in the middle of
516
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,840
the week maybe, I don't know,
we'll see.
517
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,120
All right, calendars, Yeah, get
your calendars.
518
00:27:25,120 --> 00:27:28,400
All right, let us know what you
thought of the story in the
519
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,120
engine.
Just the title of the episode.
520
00:27:30,120 --> 00:27:32,400
So good.
Yeah, but see you next time.
521
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,320
And then go listen to our Loki
season.
522
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:35,560
And then you can hear the
special segment.
523
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,240
And then tell us who your
favorite trickster God is.
524
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,880
Yes, Loki season 1.
There is no video for that one,
525
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:44,280
Apologies, but you can just hear
our voices, all right?
526
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:45,960
Until next time, goodbye.
