January 1, 20214 yr Omg the new Doctor Who was so good, so sad though 😭😭😭 Who is John Bishop though? Edited January 1, 20214 yr by TomHo
January 1, 20214 yr Screaming at getting rid of Bradley Walsh but getting John Bishop in his place Yaz character development tho :cheeseblock: actually looking forward to her returning based on tonight’s epsiode, let’s just hope they continue expanding on it and not let her fade in the background (The Doctor escapes by herself 10 minutes in and saves the day before Yaz/Ryan/Graham have left the house) Nearly
January 1, 20214 yr Author John Bishop! :wub: Most excited to be able to get figures of him now :lol:
January 1, 20214 yr I don't want to sound too premature saying this, but for me that felt like one of the best episodes of the whole era? I screamed when the bronze Daleks returned (obviously I knew they'd be there in some capacity, but I wasn't expecting anything like that)! It actually felt like a really solid story too, despite there being a lot of character stuff going on in between it all. I don't think the Dalek action was quite up there with Resolution, but it was great to see them mercilessly killing people again, so I'm glad Chibnall hasn't been afraid to show them at their best! The scene between Jack and Yaz in Osaka was incredible - a really emotional moment, and the character development for Yaz and just how dependent she's become on the Doctor was heartbreaking at the same time. More of this to be explored in series 13 please x Also the scenes in the prison :cheeseblock: the Weeping Angel, the Silent, PTING!!!, it was all so good, if brief. I've not been a fan of Ryan at all throughout the era, but it definitely felt real that there was a 10 month gap between them seeing the Doctor, and that he'd grown up and matured a lot. It felt like a natural ending for him (even if I wanted him to be exterminated prior to the episode starting). That final scene with him and Graham was just beautiful. Everything full circle. :clap: The scene of the fam all together in the TARDIS deciding what to do was seriously emotional too, Jodie was brilliant there with her reactions. And the earlier scene where her and Ryan had alone time to talk about things was beautiful. WD Chibnall, you managed to get it spot on this time! Now I'm absolutely buzzing for series 13! But, in the least offensive way possible to any scousers, John Bishop's accent is going to be PAINFUL
January 1, 20214 yr My favourite Jodie episode I think! Was gripped throughout (which I haven't been for many of the past series or so). Also John Bishop is great, so I am excited for this :o
January 1, 20214 yr Author John Bishop's now been confirmed as a companion, and his character is "Dan"
January 1, 20214 yr That was actually pretty good. It never got too slow or too slushy. The daleks were daleks, just evil, no trying to understand them as an enemy. I didn’t mind Bradley Walsh so I’ll happily give John Bishop a chance. It felt like real Doctor Who again. Hopefully they can keep this up but going off the last two series, I’m not gonna hold my breath.
January 1, 20214 yr I'm happy to give John Bishop a chance too... partly as I can still remember how appalled I was at the thought of Catherine Tate and look how that turned out!
January 1, 20214 yr Why do we need more companions?! Yaz is enough!! Much better episode than usual, and it is probably one of the best out of these two TERRIBLE seasons, HOWEVER!! I am confused r.e one point: what ties the doctor to these three companions, and why does she miss them? They have had very limited interactions and VERY stilted conversations. Why on earth would she miss three strangers she went on a few adventures with after literal decades? None of them seemed particularly close. The ending was more like a parody, with the cheesy vision and the Ryan St Clair bike song thing, than an actual episode :rofl: But it was a nice call-back.
January 1, 20214 yr G (The Doctor escapes by herself 10 minutes in and saves the day before Yaz/Ryan/Graham have left the house) !!!!!!! Also yasss the pting!!!! :cheeseblock: :cheeseblock:
January 1, 20214 yr John Bishop's now been confirmed as a companion, and his character is "Dan" The Doctor going from travelling with young women as a Man to travelling with Old Men as a Woman :D
January 1, 20214 yr I LOVED that episode, absolutely one of the best Chibnall episodes. He's really got the Daleks bang on (and I think he did with the Cybermen too, top marks for his classic villain usage so far), and Robertson was thoroughly entertaining. Jack's return felt natural and surely leading to future appearances now he's back on Earth (with Gwen??? PLEASE!). Ryan and Graham got a wonderful exit and I adored how Graham's last line was "you're doing it mate" :lol: Intrigued by John Bishop!! Not sure what to expect but this show's made amazing companions out of Catherine Tate, Matt Lucas and Bradley Walsh so I'm expecting more brilliance. Personally I'd have loved a 13/Yaz team but I think series 13 needed something NEW to entice viewers (back), so it figures from that perspective.
January 1, 20214 yr I'm watching this now... its kinda dull 42 minutes in. The action (or what action there is) just continually halts for the characters to have random heart to hearts - its sort of clunky. Ryan is also one of the dullest, waste of space companions there has ever been. Again i'm in the minority on here it seems :D not so much on other forums though ;) Edited January 1, 20214 yr by ElectroBoy
January 1, 20214 yr I'm happy to give John Bishop a chance too... partly as I can still remember how appalled I was at the thought of Catherine Tate and look how that turned out! Badly :lol: I've seen John Bishop acting before and he was OK so I think he'll be fine. I just wonder whether he saw it as just a short-term way of carrying on working when he couldn't do any stand-up shows. I was rather hoping there would be a good-looking young male companion :(
January 1, 20214 yr Chibnall should have brought Ethan from Ascension/Timeless Children back, that would’ve been amazing :(
