298And how much will it be then?
But then they continued this topic saying that this is not a solution, but only a postponement. And for complete "healing" they need to get rid of this doctor's energy by simply letting it go, and for some reason only women can do it (or they can come up with it)...
This second part seemed to me strange and unnecessary. That is, Donna could have just "let go" back then?
Maybe it's purely overclocking before the next two specials? There, judging by the trailers, everything will be pretty epic.)
- You're kidding me! :D
By the way, Rose turned out to be literally some kind of child of the TARDIS, which turned out to be quite funny.
The series left behind a pleasant aftertaste, and naturally it is very different from last season and seems to give a boost for future episodes. I am not "wow" delighted, but I hope that everything is still ahead) She breathed the spirit of the old seasons, but still you feel that the Doctor is the same Doctor with baggage, experience and a lot of regrets, pain and losses.
Poor Donna, 15 years to live with a hole in her heart and the feeling that she forgot something. An important part of yourself and your life...I felt terribly sorry for her.
Mip reminded me of Gremlin for a reason, and his meeting with Donna is just iconic :)
The doctor is in the house, so someone will tear down the wall and more than one ahah
Donna, who remembered everything, looked more like a Doctor than he did the whole series. You can understand him, so much has happened, he literally has an existential crisis, but...The Doctor became himself as soon as he flew into the changed TARDIS! It was perfect) Donna and Rose somehow quickly let go of their power, I'm not sure that's the end of it, to be honest...Therapeutic, yes, they say only we are capable of this, but...
The ending killed me a little bit, because: a) a coffee machine is, of course, good, but how would it be, yes, unsafe? Why did the TARDIS add it?
b) some kind of too far-fetched turn with ignition, and even so strong! But Donna will not be fired from her job))
I will expect more from the next series, but still it was extremely pleasant to watch.
(11th) - Hey, look, the round things!
(10th) - I love the rounds things!
(11th) - What are the round things?
(10th) - No idea.
Спэшл к 50илетию TD 😁
Is this a good series? Well, norm, with beer will pull.
Is this a good start for the anniversary? I would say that still no.
For all my dislike of the Doctor's Power, Chibnell completely broke away there and gave out madness. After that, watch just a passing episode from season 4... a little weird.
In general, the whole vibe of the series is "we shot 2008 with a bunch of pieces from 2023 and technologies from 2023"
The latter went to a plus, but with 2023 pieces - it is doubtful.
What didn't you like:
1) You could just give up energy. Donna took it, went out by the hand with her daughter Rosa and gave up energy. Just like that! Chibbs and Moff - learn! And why this remark "if you were still a woman, you would understand"? Uhhh? Ai min, the passage about the fact that men want power is of course good, but the 13th obviously wouldn't understand, because her story is basically about the fact that a lot of new things have arisen in her past THAT SHE CAN't REFUSE, the watch is still somewhere in the TARDIS. Unless Donna spilled coffee on them, too. And the 13th (or rather the whole Doctor) was in a position in the end clearly more powerful than all the timelords.
2) The almighty screwdriver. Here I have the biggest facepalm. The monitor is in the air. Energy dampers. Just VTF
3) A very strange rhythm of the series. It is not clear that half the series was littered, then the denouement in the spirit of RTD.
4) They said here that the difference between 14 and 10 is noticeable. Where? WHERE IS SHE, CARL?
What did you like
1) MIP! And Mip's voice acting. Miriam is a goddess, my respects to her.
2) Rose. Well, a good character. Chibnell would definitely have written worse.
3) Trolling by Sylvia Donna. Sylvia seemed to have moderated her ardor a little towards the family.
4) DRAMA. The drama is well written, you can't argue with that!
On the shelf of doubtful
Osgood version 2.0 - well, I don't know. We need to look at it again.
I think she rather didn't want them hanging out anywhere in the world. It's better to let them lie in the Tardis.
Donna is my beloved and my beautiful Donna Noble is the most important woman in the universe how incredibly happy I am to see you and your family! How amazing it is to see that she is a wonderful wife and a wonderful mother and still the worst secretary in the world 😭 Her husband watched her give 166 million pounds to charity and how she calls the child by her last name, but he knew that this was a tiny sacrifice for the right to be near HER and was right
Doctor! Honestly, it is very clear that this is absolutely not the Tenth, he often slips the Thirteenth, Twelfth, and even it seems there were moments of the Eleventh. He is much more chill and open than the Tenth was (especially these moments with "I love" — he didn't even tell Rose that!), and the moment with the court is pure Twelfth. To my great regret, with the face of the Tenth in the kit, it is inevitably impossible to live in peace for at least one damn day 😔
Rose is just wonderful, and it's incredibly funny (and charming) that she literally defeated her mother's curse by the fact that she is non-binary. Try to cut it out now and ignore it! I am very glad that she exists, but knowing Doctor Who, I am now very afraid that something will happen to her. Please don't lock up this Rose in a parallel universe as well: (On the other hand, maybe it won't be so bad with the Doctor's half in Mom.
I really hope that everything will be fine with Donna and her family in the end, and she will leave, like Martha, by her own decision and at the right moment. Very scared for her, of course.... We are waiting for the next Saturday and holding our fists (and taking out the blood pressure monitors, the years are not the same as before)
I'm just seeing the practical effects of the first seasons of new school. Everything looks dirty, twisted, a little battered, but because of this it looks real. I'm annoyed by all this futuristic clean future, where touchpads and holograms are everywhere. It's not realistic! It's inconvenient! Who wants to watch secret data on a holographic screen where everything is visible from the other side! We even have ATMs everywhere with a viewing angle of 20 degrees.
When the DC team had 5 pounds and a dream, they created amazing mechanisms out of tape, bolts and grandfather clocks from a flea market, wrapped the panels in the TARDIS with foam, and I really felt that this time machine could land in my yard.
Am I complaining that DC has become too good? Yes.
But on the other hand, this is a claim almost entirely to the new screwdriver. The interiors of the Noble house, the factory, the ship, the new TARDIS, the aliens — they are all made with great love for details. That's why I love DC 💞
Well, okay, this is not quite true, rather the opposite — the Rose is not ordinary precisely because Donna gave her the metacrisis of a Doctor who is "both a man and a woman, and none of this, and more than that."
And they were able to "let go" of the metacrisis because they are not men? To be honest, I think it was a very cringe moment. But the message, I suppose, was that, unlike the male version of the Doctor, they can simply give up the power that metacrisis gives them, and not hold on to it. Or that they, as women/non-men, are more at ease with their emotions and can just "let off steam".
I personally don't like it very much, at least because the Thirteenth One was not at ease with her emotions or was able to give up power/power more than any other Doctor. Well, in general, as if all women are such cute bunnies! For a series that has just started saying that gender is fluid and multifaceted, this is some very sexist statement. But it was at least from the heart and with good intentions — there were worse things in DC
The new design of the TARDIS is beautiful, they brought back a lot of space and round pieces!
Vibe Crowley at the moment when the Doctor was driving a taxi😄
The series would be 11/10 if they showed, and not just mention Wilfred casually.
MEEP MEEP
And then...
- Rose!
- What?
- Rose!
- What?
> But fuck go with these
You can not look anymore, because this is RTD, further - more)
The fact that "Rose" here is a timeliving legacy .. ahem...affected?
I don't understand anyway.
I don't know, in general I liked this moment, but the remark that a female Doctor would understand, but this one doesn't, spoils everything, since it literally crosses out the statement made before, and in general bad taste.
ох уж эти Доктора-мужчины, не умеют отпускать!
Her disability was just well played when the commander of the special forces apologized "for the stairs."
But you're right. With the advent of Disney, this diversity agenda will now be shoved everywhere and everywhere. Perhaps that's why it looked so ridiculous (ala RTD does not know how to impose such a thing) For if earlier (we do not take season 13 into account), and there was a subpoena, then it was apparently inserted so organically that they did not even notice. (The captain from Torchwood didn't cause any irritation at all.)
And now it looks like we need to prepare that the random girl in London, whom the doctor will save from the shot of conditional Daleks, will not be a girl and far from "her". Because she identifies herself there as a "slice of orange."
Plus, they wrote that they were involved in the creation with money.
There were comments above (at the beginning), read
and also about organicity earlier, Bill talking off topic about herself while she died herself and the Doctor was dying is it organic? :D and what's wrong in season 13 is also unclear, everything was fine there
and you are now going to be eaten here for the terrible truth about this man :D (I'm probably at the same time for these words)
Why this trance was inserted, I don't know. Was it really impossible to make a series without him?
Regarding the girl in a wheelchair, this idea looks as stupid as possible, because logically, when the doctor meets her at the factory at 40 minutes, there is a feeling that she was simply forgotten there, and she could not get down. This is of course the most logical explanation for how she got there in the first place. Rockets and darts well, it's a kindergarten...
I love Dr. Donna. These dialogues of theirs and that's it. Donna is such a donna ❤
It's a pity that this is only for 3 episodes, and I really hope that their travels will not end tragically again...
The series is just fantastic, burst into tears, laughed, rewound brilliant jokes and dialogues a hundred times. There's still a slight feeling that I'm dreaming all this, because how can it even be true? 💔
But the husband and daughter are not any at all, although maybe there just wasn't enough time for disclosure
Plus, this "power of women" somehow caused a bit of a cringe
And, by the way, for some reason I thought that in fact the doctor is not a man and not a woman in the earthly sense of this, it seems that it was even mentioned somewhere, so "you're a man, you can't do that" in relation to the doctor was strange for me
Don't think about it, I approached this issue with caution and on tiptoe, because I thought - right now RTD will play on the emotions of fans and duckling syndrome, but nothing really good will come out. And the first half of the series was about like that, but by the end it was rocking and I'm so glad. :) It's as if these long years never happened.
Yes, the episode is quite predictable and even a little passing, yes, there are rough edges that you cling to unpleasantly. But at the end, you can feel the warmth that was missing. If Wilf had been shown at least somehow, at least some old footage, it would have been even cooler, of course.
Am I really going to look forward to new episodes of the Doctor again, I can't even believe it.
It looks like the timelady is really rummaging around in this😄
And the Tenth himself controlled this energy when he directed it into his hand.
Well, everything else is a good old RTD with plots as simple as five kopecks (in the best sense). The fandom has apparently forgotten that Moffat is responsible for the brain explosion😄
But it's strange that no one has yet knocked on your ears in defense of the era of the Twelfth Doctor. Capaldi is a great actor, the king of dramatic dialogues, and although his tandem with Clara was not very pleasant to me personally, but here is the tenth season with Nardol and Bill (and Missy) it was just great, in my personal top, the tenth season shifted from the first place to the third season (with the Tenth Doctor and Martha), which had been my favorite for many years before.
By the way, recently, in honor of the 60th anniversary of the series, there was a readers' vote in Doctor Who Magazine, in which they chose the best episode of Doctor Who of all time, and although for my taste the victory of "Blink" would be the most fair, which ended up in fifth place, but it ALMOST fairly won"Heaven Sent", (which in fairness definitely deserves second place after "Blink").
So at least you're wrong about the Capaldi era.
– Why?
– Because. There are places out there where people are in danger. And in pain. And fear. And I could help. Just felt like the sort of thing HE would do.
бесконечно много трогательных (и забавных) моментов между Донной и Доктором в этой серии, но этот растрогал по-особенному 🥺
The whole branch with Rose caused extremely mixed feelings. and it's amazing to me to hear such words from myself, because I DON'T MIND a SUBPOENA, and in general this word is terrible, but it has always been in the Doctor. However, in this episode it seems as if something was wrapped up in the wrong place. I did not think that such a decisive emphasis would be placed on this. when they said at the very beginning who would play the role of Donna's daughter, I thought that according to the plot it was just a daughter and everything without reference to the story about the difficulties of transition and everything else. of course, it is important to show this, it is important to talk about it, but wouldn't the fact that the power of the mother crisis passed to Donna's daughter, as if by kinship, be implied in any case, regardless of her orientation and binary/non-binary? anyway, I don't want to throw dirt on the series because of this, I just felt like Sylvia at those moments, for which I apologize. ahahaha
I don't want to be misunderstood, I'm INCREDIBLY glad that Donna remembered everything and is alive (and I hope it will stay that way for a long time), it just seemed a little crumpled and from the category of "too simple"
nevertheless, I rather liked the episode than not. The last few minutes, the Fourteenth in the new TARDIS, the coffee machine, the Doctor Donna-it was all too wonderful.
and there are ALSO VERY VALUABLE MOMENTS of how the Doctor said several times during the series that Donna was his best friend and in general there were so many painful interactions between them, while of course there was no romance, but just the purest friendship it cut so much into my heart
I liked a lot of things in the series, but imho on a solid four.
At first, I was pleased that they said that "The Doctor is a woman, a man, none of this and much more." It's kind of logical, and it's been clear for a long time that the Doctor is his own gender. But then at the end, they're like, "you don't understand how a timelord who looks like a man can understand." And..... mm. Okay, a little bit of cringe sexism for dessert?.. I wish someone on the 13th would say, "You're a woman, you don't mess around." RTD, whhyy. (a sudden moment of realization that I miss her._.)
But in general, the series is so relaxed, as if it was filmed for children in the first place. It's not a quibble, and it's not even a bad thing. And here you can't even say that the series was fictionalized, because Disney seems to bite off his hands and feet more often than he gives anything other than batting (Loki, I'm looking at you), and then there's something with non-originality. But it's just that the script and all the characters' movements are very simple.
PS. a big plus for the character in the wheelchair, and the fact that her story didn't revolve around the fact that it's sad / tragic / etc.
PS. does a screwdriver now know how to draw screens out of thin air??? vtf.
1) The 12th regenerating said "Doctor, I let you go". I mean, it wasn't appropriate at all that the Doctor didn't know how to let go of something when he had already let go of his entire past life two regenerations ago. the context, of course, is different. But damn, I don't care.
2) the same 12th in s10e11 pro Master:
Doctor: Yeah, I think she was a man back then. I'm fairly sure that I was, too, it was a long time ago, though.
Bill: So, Time Lords, bit flexible on the whole man/woman thing, then, yeah?
Doctor: We are the most civilised civilisation in the universe, we're billions of years beyond your petty human obsession with gender and its associated stereotypes.
It's just so casual, and EVERYONE HAS ALREADY FORGOTTEN)))
I don't want to poke around in the dialogues of the 13th now, but there was something in the subject there too.
but in general, there was also such a theory that this "you're a man, you won't understand" was directed at the viewer. mostly those serial bro's who have been yelling that the Doctor is a white man and swearing at the "agenda" for the last few years. Like, they don't understand, and they can't let go of the old outdated image.
with this explanation, in principle, you can accept this phrase. but bljad, you won't believe it, I dug it up somewhere in the depths of a Twitter thread, and it would never have reached me right away. imho RTD was very clever here and it was necessary to blame it on some minor character, not on the Doctor.
That's more glory to Capaldi, addressed to his character, he really let him go and never comes back)
The same thing, by the way, as for the Tenth - I don't want to leave, these are more the words of Tennant and RTD, for whom this was the last episode.
As for the men who scold on the agenda, it seems to me that this is too subtle, rather it's just a joke about the rise of women, unsuccessful, but what there is (Chibnell and Moffat had the same, by the way)
The lava moment. Or rather, after the engine stops, the cracks in the ground heal themselves. This is out of the picture, but not critical.
And here are two, but first of all it's a screwdriver. It's too much. And if it's a one-time thing, then you can turn a blind eye to it.
Well, the biggest moment is how they "let go" of the doctor's power. We've already written about this above, so I'll just write that it was unnecessary.
I can single out the doctor himself separately. It is clear that this is a new reincarnation. Behaviors, habits. Very organic and correct.
As a result, I liked the series. I watched it with great pleasure. Saying goodbye to the Tardis is a real plus. It's very atmospheric. It feels like this is just the beginning. It's perfect for the first episode. But spilled coffee is already comedic and not necessarily funny.
In general, all the complaints about the series disappeared when I saw Tennant and Tate together. Either old age or nostalgia got into the eye, but, most likely, I just want to return to 2005-2008.
No one can go back to 2007, but RTD did. And come back himself and send us there at least for a short time.
Of the advantages:
- The villain. Funny)
- Tennant and Tate! Hurray! Everyone is just as good!
- My favorite era of RTD has finally returned.
- The unit has blossomed.
- The judicial court! They even remembered about the proclamation of shadows)
- The new interior of the TARDIS is beautiful!
- Someone here says that this is a new Doctor. Nope, in my opinion, it's still the same 10th! And that's a good thing :).
Of the cons:
- At first I didn't understand the agenda with the "Rose" at all, then they explained it to me and it would be better if I didn't understand. What the hell? A subpoena for the sake of a subpoena? It's an unpleasant feeling. Don't do this :(
- This whole topic is about carelessness... "What should I call you? Is he? Is she? Them?". Pancake. Well, it's nailed down with nails...
- Ending with "you're a man, you don't understand, but we're throwing all the energy, that's it!" . Oh, the tin....) This is just a huge disadvantage of the entire series. Plus, of course, for those who loved the 13th, but I'm not one of them.
- It's a weak start. Somehow, it was too ordinary and without proper music, he met with Donna. Didn't have enough epic.
Out of the oddities and controversial:
- A little weak for an anniversary. I hope for the next two episodes.
- A very erratic rhythm of the series.
- It's funny with coffee, of course, but somehow the TARDIS flared up too much, I hope it's just a coincidence and it's not because of the coffee)
Starting with the opening scene with Tennant, I screamed right away, and watched it five times right there; and continuing with the comedy gags with Rose, Donna, missing the alien ship; and ending with the awkward Donna in the TARDIS again.
Sylvia, trying to protect her daughter from the danger of remembering, is so adorable, this is the first time I've had tears in my eyes.
The court in the parking lot is something with something. Where did the Doctor get a wig for this case, did she give him a new regeneration of TARDIS-type pockets? ahahaha
Donna, who rushed to help the Doctor save the world, is in the heart. However, I still did not understand, it turns out that she already began to remember him then, since she called him a Doctor?.. The tears turned into tears when the Doctor started shouting that he was worried about her, and that everything that was happening was unfair to them.
The scene at the TARDIS with the Noble Temple family has become a sad scene with a new context. And to see the Doctor. One last time. Tears rolled down his face, realizing that for Wilf it really would be one last time, never again.
The atmosphere is radically different compared to previous seasons. We played on nostalgia for the RTD era quite well)) I'm waiting for the next specials, I'm waiting for Wilf's last appearance, I'm waiting for Neil Patrick Harris (which is especially relevant now, because I'm simultaneously reviewing How I Met your mother), I'm waiting for an explanation of the appearance of the Fourteenth, and I'm waiting for the appearance of the Fifteenth.
All in all, it's a good start, and there's a lot of interesting things ahead.
I'm very glad to see Donna, but the series really doesn't pull off perfectly, especially at the moments with the eye-popping phrases, it was possible to fit everything you need more organically, well, what is it:(
and I condemn coffee, what kind of coffee, you Brits, where are the teas :D
That's why coffee broke the Tardis hd, and the same tea at the beginning of the second season helped the Doctor recover. Quite British hd
God, the Tardis is beautiful, perfect.
Tennent and Tate are in love.
The rose was beautifully written in, but it was still too much at once.
Overall, I liked the series, it wasn't exactly wow, but it wasn't bad.
I agree with everyone who wrote above about the unnecessary remark "if you were still her, would you understand", wtf? This is a Doctor, this is not some random guy who needs to be educated on this topic.🤷🏻♀️
And I liked the screwdriver and the new Tardis, and the Mip is cool, I'm waiting for the next special.
Mip is cool. The transition from a cute animal with huge wide-open eyes to an evil creature with sharp teeth is wonderful. I want a toy like that.
By the way, it was clear that Mip wasn't really that simple when those two gave up chasing the kid, saying that we actually had to find Mip. They're too peaceful for villains, which means something's wrong with the other side.
I like it for interweaving the non-uniqueness of the Rose. This is really one of the most epic stories.
But what does "let go and forget" mean? And why would only a woman understand? I'm a woman, and I don't understand.
And the budget for the series was poured out be healthy. The special effects look rich. I was watching episodes from seasons 5 and 7 just a couple of days ago, and there's nothing like that.
What else... well, Tennant and Tate are dragging. It's nice to look at them. I am glad that they will have at least one more adventure. I think I'll review a couple of episodes from season 4.
A more or less normal explanation for saving Donna's life by dividing energy (?) with a rose. What I cannot accept and understand is the release of this energy in the end. Thank you for not making a typical "funny mom" out of Donna, as RTD likes. But as a woman, I didn't understand a damn thing that they had let go of with Rosa. I caught vibes of the flying Doctor in the finale of the third season. Actually, I was planning on tormenting all three episodes while waiting for the finale of Dr. Donna.
But I liked the episode anyway. The MIP is great, the new Tardis was a little confused by its excessive whiteness and size, but with the backlight it turned out to be gorgeous. You can put 10 points for just one Tennant running around it. I immediately remembered a quote from T. Davis: "I love this TARDIS. And David liked the scenery so much that he came up with the great idea of running back and forth across it. After eight takes, he wasn't having so much fun anymore. By the end, he was completely exhausted." Adore.
Donna is still as beautiful as the dawn. And her daughter and her husband came to me very much too. And at the end. I knew something was going to go wrong, though... maybe I imagined it, but I think Donna deliberately poured coffee on the console.…
I am waiting for their further adventures.
I definitely have a weakness for Doctors performed by fifty-year-old Scots.
At the moment when Donna was talking about making friends, Ponds came to mind 😭
Of the notable moments (which make many people feel bombed):
I personally liked the moment with Donna's non-binary child, especially remembering Donna's obsession with "binary, binary, binary" at the end of season 4, and then bang and twist, the child is non-binary. As for me, this is not just on the agenda, but also on a reference to this moment and generally explains the division of Donna's metacrisis.
Many more people didn't like the fact that Donna and her daughters pointed out to the Doctor that he was like a man, he wouldn't understand, but they also hinted at the Thirteenth, and as for me, this moment is just right, because they kind of hint that it's harder for men, especially male Doctors, to let go (Years ago) and their incarnations and satellites, and so on, but Trina, for example, calmly let herself go at the end of "The Power of the Daleks", and not like the same Tenth "I DON'T WANT TO GO whimper." And it was easier for the female Doctor to let go of the companions, and most importantly, she even took the answer to all the questions in the face of the Prehartnell memory clock and knocked up. And then there was such a joke that the Doctor didn't want to let Tennant go so much that he regenerated into him again :D
Beep Meep looks better than many Doctor monsters, he's just alive!
For the first time in 5 years, there are some pleasant emotions after the episode of the doctor, Wow!!
Thank God there are fierce game plots in DC again)
By the way, the good series has already lost count, which is the first time in 60 years. RTD walks cockroaches so much that he's already planning seasons 3 and 4 for the new Doctor, God grant him good health!
Of course, I liked Jody, I never said a bad word about the Chibnell era, but this episode is the best thing that has happened to the series since Capaldi, imho. It feels like I've returned home after several years of strange wanderings)
How wonderful they all are! And the music, God, the MUSIC!! It's just beautiful and amazing, and it's crazy when they're all together, and the moment when the Doctor restored Donna's memory, and the fact that her daughter's name is ROSE, aaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
I'm just happy. For some reason, when they remembered Wilfred, I just burst out, I had to press pause and cry 😂 Just burst into tears of happiness ) No other series has ever caused me such a touching feeling. 🥹
Just love ❤ I'm really looking forward to the next episodes!
Well, all these explanations about old events are not very convenient, of course, but it is necessary to restart and attract new fans.
I'll support the topic that it was very strange and unpleasant to hear "you're a man, you won't understand." Hmm?? The theme "a man can't get away" worked with a living forest in a hurry, but now this twist is explained in general? Without an explanation, it's just a sexist comment...
and I understand that maybe the reaction is just out of love for Tennant, but is it possible to randomly insult him less? Donna is rude, but I thought she didn't throw nasty things for no reason.
There was so much talk that 13 people didn't have enough space in the Tardis that those responsible for the decorations went up in flames) Joyfully running 14 adds points to the interior
but above, it seemed like there was an ordinary question without complaints about such a heroine, in principle, just incomprehensible, and it seemed to me that the gun meant why she could move her legs, but did not get up, like would she get up later or would something be clarified, otherwise it looks strange and incomprehensible
The TARDIS is great 🥺🥺🥺
What a gorgeous opening screen saver, for God's sake! And what great David Tennant and Catherine Tate are, I missed you so much! And the atmosphere of Russell T. Davis is just nostalgia from the depths of my heart, it's like I'm 12-13 years old again and I'm watching my favorite Doctor Who on STS :-)
The new interior of the TARDIS is just mind blowing. Console room with multiple levels, RGB lighting, doors to other rooms! I hope that this set will not only remain for these three specials, but will linger for the upcoming seasons with the Fifteenth Doctor.
The reference to the Winter Soldier is cool
A researcher at the UNIT in a wheelchair is not a problem; the problem is that she is riding alone around a dangerous object in a non—motorized wheelchair with missiles suspended from it. I should have gone all the way to the kringe and added a revolver to the crotch like the unique original. An Indian who didn't give a damn about his safety for the sake of religious beliefs is another problem. Interracial marriage — so this is modernity, not the brutal Middle Ages — what's the problem?
And then Bill appeared, and already another part of the audience, everyone understands which one, the fifth point began to burn, not only that black, but also a lesbian in general (by the way, the actress turned around like Bee and is now married), and then Chibnell came, and then you know what happened
Actually, she's not riding alone, there were soldiers with her, she came with them, she's a researcher who knows how to stand up for herself, in fact, at Unit, all researchers should be able to stand up for themselves, Kate Stewart remember, who fought with the Zygons?
To be honest, he's not an Indian, but a Sikh, and the turban, by the way, was primarily invented for warriors, they hid weapons there, but you don't know what kind of turban he has, maybe it's made of special protective fabric?

In general, you can dig into any detail in DC, absolutely anyone, but what's the point? DC has never claimed to be reliable or authentic.
Yes, everything can be explained and stretched to the globe, but when you do it too often and for minor reasons, the question from the seasons of Chibnell is "why are you watching this?“it's getting sharper.
A couple of points:
1) I really got high from the first part of the series, from these stealth moments of the doctor, who at the same time looked as calm as possible. It was something new, different from both 10 and 13, unusual, but at the same time, as it turned out, so suitable for the doctor! Those who understand life are in no hurry :)
2) The visual interface of the screwdriver is just wow! You can take a downside, but despite all my love for this instrument, it has always been quite incomprehensible to the audience. The doctor waved at her, then said something (anything from information about what kind of planet, to how many enemies are around) - and that's it, we have to take it into account right away. At the same time, we don't know how it came about, where the doctor got this information from, or what's going on at all, just a sonic screwdriver.
Now we can see the information that the screwdriver provides - it's just amazing! Not just "whoosh - this is a ship of such and such characteristics" - but to look at it, at its plan, etc.
I hope that these experiments with interface expansion will continue and, in general, there will be more interactive interactions. But you don't need to get too carried away either - making bullet shields out of nothing is still too much for me :)
3) I really, really liked Rose in this series, but I hope that either they will be revealed more and a little from the other side, where they will be imperfect, or they will be left as a minor character who It won't affect the plot anymore, because I really don't want a second Clara.
4) And most importantly, it was like I felt alive and rejuvenated for more than 10 years again when I saw David and Catherine and their interaction, how wonderful it was, and how wonderful that we would see it for two more episodes! Most of all, of course, I'm looking forward to their meeting with Wilfred, how I hope they managed to take it off, please!
PS: I believe that we will see more familiar faces in the next two episodes, otherwise why all this? :)
I didn't think I'd miss Tennant as the doctor so much, their tandem with Catherine, jokes with references to Rose, DC running madly around the tardis – ❤
What if they screw up something again? Tennant will save you with his game, but damn, they would have made a decent plot.
Donna!
Tennant 2.0!
Both play great. Great. Lots of references.
Great picture.
THE TARDIS! A magnificent homage to the very 1st TARDIS.
The chemistry between Donna and Doc, the humor.
Super-pumped screwdriver)
And now about the sad:
- The plot itself, aliens and logic in the series are again childish to the point of nausea, however, this was also the case earlier.
- So it's simple: they took and got rid of the "Doctor's energy", lol.
- Other pianos in the bushes (small ones), well, that's okay, usually. and finally....
- A FUCKING SUBPOENA just through a sentence and a frame. Especially this "binary-nonbinary" one, okay, racial diversity, but it's so banal and cliched, it's already cloying. Races A, B, C, d are in place like cardboard boxes - a checkmark. Well, the disabled are a checkmark. To clarify, the last two are okay, but it's just served so clumsily and stupidly that the hand reaches for the face once again...
In general, watch exclusively because of the adventures of Donna and Tennant, in fact, humor, and of course, find out how it ends.
Although I don't have any hopes for Disney anymore... After all, they are now the ones running the project.
At the same time, Disney won't have the balls for another 15-20 years to dare to make a movie/series featuring trans people.
It's a very touching episode, sometimes even to the point of tears, because you understand that after 2 episodes it will end, and we probably won't see them anymore (
& gt; at the helm of Russell T Davis
Yes, he can finally take a walk!
On the one hand, I'm glad to see Tennant and Tate, but on the other hand, this whole "we decide to let go" thing looks really weird and illogical.
If RTD didn't want to kill Donna in the very first episode, then he might not have killed the drama of season 4 so much.
After all, if you think about it, then Donna could have "released" the energy of the Tenth, and this is already a depreciation.
In the first 20 minutes, I sorely missed the Doctor's screen time, after all, there was very little of it in the frame at the beginning.
And what are these new SONIC screwdriver jokes? Why would she display the screen? What are these energy shields? It is clear that over the more than 2,000 years of the Doctor's life, she should have changed, but not that much.
One of her tricks was the incomprehensible data reading, when the Doctor just looks and says, "I get it, we're doing this..."
Although the new screwdriver looks great, and her promo is just something
In short, I'm waiting for the remaining two episodes from the 14th and the Christmas special from the 15th, it's better than the chopped plots of the 13th from Chibnell.
In general, the special caused me two feelings, it seems to be better than the Chibnell era, but it still does not reach the level of the first four seasons of new school, something is missing here, as for me. Let's see how things go from here.
The poor Doctor, then he and Donna met again, and the patient was pressed with the name Rosa. If not for the small mentions of the change of faces and gender, then one might inadvertently think that our story here continues the events immediately after the 4th season of new school.Tennant plays great for me, but Catherine Tate, well, you can throw tomatoes at me here, she used to play much better.
The series is beyond praise.
Tennant is amazing, whether he's a 10 or 14 Doctor. And Tate? She's the jewel of this series.
And it's also very noticeable how satellites can perfectly combine with the Dock. Has anyone ever had the same amazing tandem since 13 as Donna from 14/10? Hardly. Or such a crazy family? Nope.
This series is perfect for the new stage of DC.
P.S.: For mentioning Rose, a special heart.
P.S.: And that I love us all, just like Sean Donna.
I immediately decided that Mia was the villain here, at first glance: well, it doesn't happen that such a sweetheart doesn't play the victim, but really was. And then there were pronouns. And immediately the story about the skin hunt. "Oh!" — I thought, — "But they can consider the viewer so stupid that they also feed the animal protection agenda head-on!"
So I got a lot of pleasure from the series, considering that the villain is the third party to whom this psychedelic sun belongs.
What confused me personally: it is BINARY. Non-binary people do not want to define themselves within the framework of gender, they are, in fact, they/them. She is quite a she/her. Not cis, yes.
The phrase about "you're not a woman, you don't understand" is disgusting. Dr. genderfluid, like all timelords. The Fourteenth has an experience of being a woman, not even one.
It is impossible to simultaneously support both trans people (who are for the need to bring their bodies in line with gender stereotypes) and non-veterinarians (who are against gender stereotypes). These are incompatible two chairs.
Let's take it in order:
1) "it is BINARY" --- I understand why you think so. The use of the word "daughter" and feminine pronouns indicate that she is a trans girl. And in general, the scene where Donna, the Doctor and Rose reveal Rose's non-ordinary is poorly done, in my opinion. Three characters sharing the same mind just say out loud what they already know and don't try to explain to anyone. Nevertheless, Rose identifies herself as non-binary and this should be enough to believe her (although more may be needed for a good representation).
2) "Non-binary people do not want to define themselves within the framework of gender" --- Do they? Non-binary people refuse to define themselves within the framework of gender binary, but many of them still have gender. The absence of gender identity is agenderism (which can be considered a subcategory of non-ordinariness)
3) "they are, in fact, they/them." --- They/them are far from the only pronouns used by non-binary people. From Wikipedia: "Some non-binary people prefer the generally accepted gender pronouns "she" or "he" or to be alternately called "he" and "she". Others use only their first name, not pronouns."
a) "It is impossible to simultaneously support" --- perhaps (but it may be illegal) and many support it.
b) "who are for the need to bring their body in line with gender stereotypes" --- This in itself is a stereotype about trans people. Of course, not all binary trans people are stereotypical men and stereotypical women. Of course, some at the early stages of transition, so to speak, "overcompensate" so that society accepts their gender, which is understandable. And they certainly didn't come up with some sinister plan to force others to "bring their bodies into line with gender stereotypes."
And for all readers: I do not consider myself to be a non-binary community and I may well be wrong in many ways, so if you want to learn more, listen to real people for whom this is real life.
I'm not talking about any sinister plans, I'm talking about the definition of transgenderism from the ICD: a person feels "in the body of the other sex", he needs a transition, this is now the most effective treatment. Gender dysphoria is tied to compliance (or not) with gender, gender is tied to gender stereotypes. If a person is free from these stereotypes, then, in fact, he does not need a transition to conform to something.
"Non-binary people refuse to define themselves within the framework of gender binary." Yes, that's a more accurate definition, thank you.
There are more than one gender theory. To be honest, I don't like any of them, because I don't like maintaining stereotypes. So, ironically, if you get involved in these games, then I will take myself to the non—veterinarians, because my gender is female, but taking on compliance with the female gender (stereotypes about women) - no, thank you.
Accordingly, all my comments are about a bad (in my humble opinion) representation. When they poke us right in the nose, they don't reveal the key points.
Please explain why the "non-binary" Rose "lets go like a woman", but the Doctor does not understand this?
I just don't like the word "stereotype", it has a very negative coloring, but it's probably still correct to use it as a description of gender characteristics.
But in this case, I do not agree that non-binary people are necessarily against gender characteristics. It's just that, living in a gender society, they can use signs from both binary categories and some signs that are not included in these categories (or they may not use them). Well, that's about what Rose says in the scene where her non-ordinary nature is revealed.
Now that I understand more what you mean, the question arises: in your opinion, is a gender society possible without gender stereotypes, or can such a society only be gender-free?
About "letting go like a woman": I didn't find such a quote in the series. At the end, Rose only says that the male ("male-presenting") time lord will not understand. And I don't like this moment either.
I think the fewer phenomena attributed to gender, the better. The freer people will be. Why do you think RPP (where dysphoria is also present, but not gender-related) is treated with psychotherapy and less often with pharmacotherapy rather than surgery?
Well, I won't be able to talk to you about medicine. I don't understand it at all, and I'm not particularly interested in it.
it's so wonderful to see them on the screen again! It doesn't really matter who wants to wipe London off the face of the earth this time, the main thing is Tennant and Tate! Ahhh
, but now I want toys from the barn at Nob's))
and in general, it's so joyful to return to my favorite TV series again after five years 💃(I didn't watch it while Chibnell was at the helm) oh, this music from the screensaver
and this mini reference to Rose Tyler 😥
then also Dr. Jokey Gatva, I hope it will also be cool!
And I really liked the screensaver!
It's just that from the very first minutes I realized that the good old doctor was back. I'm thrilled and it's like I've really gone back many years.
When Donna checked his eye, it was very funny.
At the moment of interrogation and the discovery of the truth: "Okay, the claims are dropped" :D although Mip changed his appearance at that moment and became angry in appearance) it would be more interesting if he remained a milah without this evil look and fangs to cause even more dissonance and it was difficult immediately change your mind about him and believe the bugs.
them and I can't help but note what a gorgeous tardis from the inside, just a gorgeous baby
But the court in the parking lot and Tennant in a wig are chic and shiny)))
The new interior of the TARDIS is specially designed for the Doctor's circular races.
Yes, it's much more interesting to watch the series with Tennant. Well, now the series have become better to shoot, the angles are suitable. That is, the picture itself has become more pleasant to the eyes.
And nostalgia smelled good. The last time I watched it with Tennant was when I was in the eighth grade, I guess. And it's been about 11 years since then...
half the series sobbed, Tennant is such a cool guy, Donna breaks my heart and everything is so beautiful and the Tardis is huge, the Doctor has a place to run and the screwdriver is cool and fluffy is cute!! Aaaaaah My Doctor is back T_T
"Fluffy darling", like Donna, it immediately seemed to me that something was wrong with him. Adorable abomination.
But God, how alive and wonderful they all are! :)
the vibes of Sarah Jane's adventures are still like that.
Tennant, there's some kind of mix between Ten and Crowley. It looks good! and no matter how much time has passed, Donna already has a daughter who is almost an adult.
but in the end, the fairy tale theme was somewhat annoying. Let go and forget and all that, as only women can! that it was something like the end of the third season.
and also a screwdriver, which can do a hell of a lot, but especially strikingly cuts out protective shields from the air. It's like Tony Stark worked on her at his leisure, chs.
The only thing that Donna and Rose's phrase that "it's a pity that you're not a woman anymore, she would understand" sounded crooked and inappropriate, but personally I'm ready to forgive Russell T. Davis small joints like this for breathing a new portion of life and soul into Doctor Who.
And I don't care if there are any understatements, a subpoena, etc. This has always been the case and my impression of the doctor was not affected.
Now it will be possible to review the season with her knowing that this is not the end))
And in this episode, I enjoyed literally every moment, seeing exactly what I love the Doctor for and what I've been missing for the last few years.
I watched the previous and this series in a row and that's how to work with old and new characters. Don't throw them in just for the sake of sending them. And use their old relationship. The moment with a slap in the face to the doctor is not for the sake of ridicule, but precisely because that's what the mother who raised Donna and protected her as best she could would do. And to some extent, I'm glad that Grandpa is not in this series. If he had been pushed in like Ian in the last episode just to be there, it would have been sad.
That is, the series itself does not seem to be the strongest since the alien conflict. But the relationship between the characters makes it great)
In general, now we can look forward to the future of the series again.
It's a pity that Jody was so unlucky with the screenwriters. After all, there were good characters, and even the plots were potentially good. But there was very little such interaction when people around the Doctor actually do something and add a series of dynamics.
I hope I'm not prematurely happy, I haven't seen the next two shots yet, but I was specially waiting for them to come out to watch at once, but now I want to stretch and savor))
But this series of the Doctor is definitely the best in the last 5-6 years, I have not had such emotions and childish joy since the days of Capaldi
The scenario is uncomplicated, even primitive, which is correct in this situation. They focused on reviving the dynamics of the Doctor/Donna, and how good they are! A great Tenant who gives out comedy, drama and aerobatics in one scene in a couple of minutes. And how well they played a duet with Catherine Tate. It's like they're picking each other up and carrying each other. The general stage past is immediately visible.
And thank you for bringing Donna's memory back. I've always considered erasing her memory one of the greatest injustices of the doctor's universe.
The villain of the series "shaggy chub" is primitive, but he gave an interesting notch for the future - some dude with two hearts should find out about the Doctor. The master?
PS Can someone explain to the old lady what the joke of non-ordinary is? That is, I understand and even support women and men who refuse to play their social roles. I understand people who are sexually attracted to people of their own sex. Who feels bad about it? I understand transgender people. It must be really terrible to feel like a beautiful woman when a man looks at you from the mirror with all the details. But where can we stick the non-ordinary here? What aspects of gender are rejected? Sexual, social, psychological?
> as Moffat could
, yeah, especially when Vastra openly said that she was married to Jenny)
>> It's just that every 5 minutes the dialogues were full of rainbows
It's not true, there were literally three moments connected with this, at first when they called names on the street, then the conversation between Donna and Sylvia and at the very end, although it could be said that it could not be connected.
> and finally ruined the evening.
That's good!)
Yes, well, not 3 points, there are references to binary, bullying, conversations with a grandmother, with a beast, etc. I am allergic to this, so every sentence on this topic blazed. But maybe I'm being too picky and there was no agenda, except for 3 scenes😊
It's just that the Doctor addressed Mip as him, and Rosa asked why he thinks that Mip is him, in fact, a reasonable question, because Mip is not he/she/it/they, he is not a person.
general, of course, this is not normal and disgusting.
: D :D :D
Before that, the series was probably half-watched)
What a thrill this series is! A good DC that has been missed for so long. And the references: allons-y, Rose and others — in the very ♥️
RTD maestro, Tennant beloved, Tate is beautiful as always♥️♥️♥️
On the downside: the stories about non-binary people caught my eye, you're a man, you don't understand, and so on. And it's so clumsy and inappropriate. I've always been indifferent to all this, but then I was completely immersed.
But these are small things and have nothing to do with the fact that the choice of an actress for the role of my daughter did not go to me at all. She is taller and one and a half times bigger than her mother, well, 14-year-old girls can't look like that! And 15 years too. I understand that appearance is not the main thing, but the main character here is Donna, and the minor characters with a few lines could have been chosen more harmoniously.
The Doctor's reaction to the Tardis is wonderful. Jokes in that old style are great. New Jokes "I've never said this before" - just a delight!!!! This evolution of the series according to our (society's) just agony. Indeed, the Tenth did not say that. And then it was natural. Now this is the norm from the screens - and now it is also natural. But to notice and joke about this topic, playing up the changes with regeneration - mmmm! just a delight! (I repeat, yes)))
A lot of absurdity, chaos, fun and a touch of tragedy. Tennant is still a great doctor, it's like he's been living this role all this time :) I can finally feel the vibe of the wonderful Doctor, who is so full of shit, and there is sadness in his eyes. And I love Donna as a companion.
Anyway, I got high and this is a gift for me. Although, of course, there are nuances in the series, but other commentators have already written about them :)
- Not binary
Бррр, какой кринж
The whole episode feels like a DVD sequel to your favorite movie. Everything seems to be in place, they even persuaded a big actor to play. But everything looks cheap and sometimes ridiculous.
The screwdriver can now apparently do everything. If he could teleport the Zorgs to the subway, why couldn't he teleport the Mip from the rocket?
Well, this is a story, well, it just smelled like the Avengers finale, where they're just like that, LOOK, OUR WOMEN ARE COOL, THEY SAVED A SPIDER'S LITTLE SISTER.
It's strange that there's no jackpot in the stroller, there's nothing to lose...
well, okay, they persuaded Donna's daughter to be cool - because she's non-binary
BUT THEN, WE'RE WOMEN, AND WE REALIZED THAT WE WERE JUST LIKE THAT, JUST GO AWAY, AND SHE LEFT. YEAH, YOU'RE A DOCTOR BUMPKIN, IF YOU WERE A WOMAN YOU'D UNDERSTAND
As a result, there was some kind of double impression. It seems both Tennant and the doctor's spirit are in place. But kringe was probably piled up for all the seasons with Whittaker - in this one episode.
