Discussion of the 4 episode of the 2 season Discuss this episode
114A kind of "black mirror" within the framework of the DC.
Cancel culture is a scary thing.
Konrad, of course, is still a dumbass - everything was fine before he broke into private territory, took a gun, shot his man, while filming everything on camera. He has already turned into a terrorist. But, ironically, in the eyes of the public, he could have continued to be a hero.
In general, a very interesting character was shown. He literally saw the TARDIS, and because the Doctor deceived him (lucky day turned out to be anything but lucky), he decided to mislead the whole world about the Doctor (well, not exactly him, but Unit in particular).
What pleased me was the mention of sycorax. Because, as far as I remember, after the arc with cracks/silence, people's memory of encounters with an alien was overwritten. I've never liked it.
One of the most important episodes is the dialogue between the Doctor and Conrad at the end of the series. Here, of course, the actors finished the fire. It turned out to be a very tense scene, and the Doctor seemed to... I did not win in this confrontation. And if you take into account the ending, then you lost at all... We will be waiting for Konrad's return!
Mrs. Flood is now actively intervening in events, rather than just watching and breaking down the fourth wall. I wonder what made her change her strategy.
It was a pleasure to see Ruby and her whole family again. We were also shown how the companions cope with their lives after leaving the Dock. Ruby could use an invitation to a meeting of anonymous companions, they would definitely understand her.
Kate is great in this episode. I have a lot of love for this character. I especially liked the scene where she instantly shields and protects Ruby when Conrad points a gun at her. Then it's her "good thing the Doctor isn't here" before unleashing an alien attack on Conrad. The doctor really wouldn't do that, but Kate is tougher in this regard. Well, at the end, there's a very warm scene between Ruby and Kate with a joke from Shirley (do you already have two moms, do you collect them or something?").
In general, this season is still very, very encouraging.
Half of the episodes have already been released. We are looking forward to the second half!
🔥🔥🔥
Savage from Mythbusters had a saying - I reject your reality and substitute my own.
As the Internets say, it came from the Doctor, namely from the Deadly Assassin series.
It's not that I'm good at classics, but then again, Googling makes it clear that the series is about the Master.
Actually, the comrade is quite "crazy and insane" for this character... and there was a hint of a tooth. And suddenly... I think it would be good)
I deny this reality. The reality is a computation matrix
А дословная цитата из фильма "Хозяин подземной тюрьмы"
and at the end of the episode - "Leave my world and never come back" (40:50) 2x2
There are two things I didn't like:
1) Conrad proves to people that the UNIT is deceiving them, and the monsters are not real, by deceiving the UNIT and the fake monsters. That is, if there are no monsters, but the UNIT knows about it, why did they immediately rush to protect you and take everything seriously?
Although, probably, such "evidence" is enough for someone.
2) Kate is putting Conrad in danger, and it's all kind of live. Firstly, this is unlikely to be suitable as proof for stubborn individuals. Secondly, for those who believe/start believing in monsters, it will be more a reason to be afraid of UNITS rather than start supporting them.
Yes, they show us that Kate is not so white and fluffy (and, apparently, this will be developed in the spin-off, the same screenwriter is working on it), but it is also shown to the whole world.
Actually, I have some questions about the final message. On the one hand, the UNIT really has a problem with the fact that it is essentially a very opaque power structure that can do anything under the pretext of protection, and it was very interesting to do something about it. But on the other hand, it's clear that the author of the script wanted to raise the topic of the growing popularity of conspiracy theories and generally did it well. Although there is still some sediment... But I liked it! So far, the episode that has touched me the most in the season, let's see how it goes from here.
Judging by the trailer, the next episode will take place in Nigeria — I'm looking forward to it, I really wonder how it will turn out, this is something new for DC
On the one hand, it's still interesting.
On the other hand, the episode feels like a stub of the first season inside the second. I was waiting for Ruby's return because I was hoping for a cool interaction between the current and past companions, as it was between Donna and Marta in the Sontaran dilogy and the Doctor's Daughter. And as a result, I got a doctor-lite and companion-lite episode in one bottle. And it wouldn't be so scary and insulting if it didn't mean that one of the eight episodes of the second season was wasted instead of developing a global plot.
And also, if the rumors about Jokey Gatva's departure from the role of the Doctor after the second season are true, then this is already the third of potentially only nineteen episodes in which there are almost no Jokes (73 yards, Dot and Bubble, Happy Day).
Well, plus this is the first episode of the second season, which is worse than this same by episode number of the first season. I liked the dot and the bubble better.
This is not the yield for the same quarter last year) an extremely strange metric, kmk)
Well, it just so happened that the Robot Revolution was logically compared to Space Kids as a more successful season premiere, and the Light was logically compared to the Devil's Laugh34; because in both cases, the Doctor encountered a representative of the Pantheon of Chaos gods. It was funny that every time the second season wins in comparison with the first. Further, the logic of comparing episodes with episodes of the same number from last season is already weakening, but Ostap was carried away and could not be stopped - Boom, it was relatively logical to compare with the Well, if only because a companion was almost shot there. but also because of the analogy between Steven Moffat's long-awaited return and the sudden return to the planet from the episode Midnight. Comparing Happy Day and 73 Yards is also logical in principle - doctor-lite episodes focus on Ruby and her problems with guys.
Indeed, there is some logic, I will keep an eye on your further ratings, even if they are still a little strange))
Kate is a beauty in every way. I'm glad they're with that security guy after all.☺️
Ruby and her family were also very happy to see. They're cool. Especially Grandma😁
Mrs. Flood, whoever she is, is making some kind of move against the Doctor along the way.
The best episode with the 15th Doctor is the one in which there was almost no 15th Doctor.
And this is probably the first episode in which the 15th doesn't roar, right? Because he was almost gone.
More episodes without the 15th Doctor and from this writer! :)
I've enjoyed six episodes from the era of the Fifteenth Doctor so far, to the point of delight and piggy squeal - Boom", "73 Yards, Dots and Bubbles, Hail, World (mainly due to the year spent with Anita), "Light " (Lux / Lux) and "The Well, " so, personally, in my opinion "Happy Day" on the contrary, interrupted the masterpiece two without allowing it to turn in a masterpiece triple like last season. But surprisingly, doctor-lite episodes in this era really come out quite well. Although if we recall the three doctor-lite episodes from the first era of RTD (Love and Monsters, Don't Blink, Turn Left), then perhaps we can say that episodes almost without the Doctor were ALWAYS well at least interesting.
much to cry about..
And so. And why was the Doctor needed? Kate only said that the Doctor had not contacted them for a long time, she did not say that he was needed.
She said that if there was a Doctor here, he would solve the problem.
The fifteenth mentioned bigeneration as a moment, as an event that happened to him. The Doctor had only grown up for one reason-he had released superstition into this universe, and the Toyman dimension, with its laws of physics and logic, had influenced the laws of their universe. The doctor did not bigenerate because of this at every moment of his life. And yes, there were multi-doc episodes in the series, even though the actor playing the Doctor looks older. Bigeneration has not replaced regeneration.
Well, the Fourteenth is also with the TARDIS. What if he's back on Mars?
Conrad: * blurted out something about the Foreman *
I was at that moment:
But that doesn't stop you from feeling dislike at the moment.
An ordinary person would not so zealously set out to prove that the Unit is evil. Conrad is not a liar in the global sense. He convinced himself that aliens didn't exist precisely because he was so moved by the situation. He's not a liar, it's a defensive reaction of his brain. But instead of moving on with his life, he decided to do everything to harm the Unit - and by any means. There are subconscious moments and there are fully conscious decisions. All this led him to prison. And even when the Doctor came to talk to him, he still didn't want to accept the truth and change. I didn't want to. And if a person doesn't want to change himself, no one will help him. As a result, we have what we have. And all this could have been prevented if Konrad had learned to work with his emotions, to live through negative emotions, and would have wanted to stop the vicious circle of pain rather than continue it. If he had just wanted to heal himself instead of continuing to defend himself and injuring the others in the process.
Only this time the rumors are confirmed - the episode "The Well" actually turned out to be a sequel to the episode "Midnight". And if all the other rumors from this particular leak are also true, then Mrs. Flood is actually [I won't write who because it could be a spoiler. Google it yourself if you're interested], which doesn't make sense to me, since it doesn't explain her ability to break the fourth wall.
I can't describe how glad I am to see Ruby again. She's such a sweetheart, and their chemistry with the Doctor is just a balm to the soul. Two kittens😍
Kate is a goddess. There's no other way to say it.
This episode has become one of the favorites of the new era.
If a movie evokes such intense emotions, it's a good movie.
But I am very unhappy that I was brought out to be negative!!
I wish I could see how the screamer would devour Conrad completely.
But the actor's face really gives the impression that he has already seen it somewhere. It seemed to me the whole episode that Mystic7 was called to the role of Conrad and I was like, "What's the logic in inviting a YouTube blogger talking about Pokemon GO to a British science fiction series?";
Thoughts in the middle of the series:☠☠☠
He acted like a bastard with Ruby, of course, there's no question about that. But I can't really judge the guy for his attitude towards the UNIT (but this is a personal attitude, I've never liked them in Doctor Who myself). I would like to hope that RTD will prescribe Konrad the arc of redemption, but something tells me that he will rather be cut down (and Ruby and the Doctor will dance like Alan, lol), or he will return to prison to rot until he is 49 years old. Imho, in the final dialogue of kst, Conrad impressed the Doctor more, was more complimentfully written and strongly played, maybe all is not lost for the character yet.But I adore Kate!!!!A beauty in every way. I'm glad they're with that security guy after all.☺️
Ruby and her family were also very happy to see. They're cool. Especially Grandma😁
Mrs. Flood, whoever she is, is making some kind of move against the Doctor along the way.
It seems that he is the new incarnation of the Master
At first, I was glad that she had found a cute guy with whom she could be herself. And then it turned out that he was a villain. Well, how so! Mip 2.0
Overall, this season is very encouraging.
Conrad is a gorgeous villain. At first he seemed nice, but then he caused me so much negativity when watching... As they say, if a character pisses you off, then the actor did a great job in the role.
Well, in general, the theme of the series itself is the most relevant for me personally. We live in a time where any charismatic person can pick up a camera and say anything, and millions of his followers will believe it. And it doesn't matter which side the truth is on anymore. People without psychological education conduct therapy, talk about health without biological or medical education, and sell their courses... There are a lot of such examples.
As the Doctor said at the end of the episode, "There's a lot of noise that gets in the way of doing your job."
It's sad, but that's the reality. You need to be careful when listening to speeches on the Internet. And not only in it. Please. I have everything)
P.S. Konrad was very lucky that he didn't get the Tenth One. And then you know, "he never raised his voice..."
Now I really want to see the last 3 episodes.
They pretended to be monsters. The UNIT rushed to the God-forsaken village on the first call. And this is supposed to prove the unit's worthlessness? Uh-huh?
I'll set fire to the house to prove that firefighters are useless! I'll rob a bank to show that the police are not needed!
What's the point anyway? 😂
Kate is still gorgeous.
There's nothing more to say, boring.
I even wanted the dude to be finished, really.
and the screenwriter is familiar.
that's the ending, when the doctor explains everything to the audience popularly and head-on, so very much in the spirit of the thirteenth.
Ruby is great. and without the doctor, he pulls the series perfectly on himself.
There are so many interesting episodes and even the second season is not over yet, I hope there will be more interesting episodes.
I was also glad to see Ruby. It was a shame when Conrad deceived her, and I wanted to punch him in the face.
Ruby is very sorry, even before the turn, you feel very sorry for her when she started talking about PTSD and generally realizing that not everything is okay with her. and then there's the catch and the bummer - there's no trust left in potential boyfriends. she definitely needs to take care of her mental health somehow. let her join the 14th Doctor, and Donna will be the fourth mother in the collection:)
I also wonder why only the current Doctor participates in all the events of the present. Logically, any Doctors can be there in passing, even the first one. it's clear that this is unrealistic in terms of filming, but at least with the actors still active, it would be possible to stir up something like this. and I don't mean in a hurry, when several doctors intersect at once, but for example, even conditionally the same episode as here, what prevented Conrad from meeting on the 10th or 11th, for example? or let's say in 2007 it was the 15th with Belinda, and then a few years later he notices the booth, but it's the 13th. and the 12th unit comes to the rescue. after all, the Doctor has no linearity of time, and he does not need to be so strictly present within the framework of one plot story from beginning to end. especially in such cases, when the events are shown from an outsider.
Does he not believe the unit, shouting that they are lying, but at the same time believes that the Doctor travels through time? According to Conrad's chronology, the meeting with Belinda was 17 years ago.
He could have asked "Where is Belinda", but he asked "Have you met Belinda yet?"
We don't know exactly how much he realized before he visited the unit that he was wrong, but after he was bitten by the monster, there could be no doubt. But he can't admit he's wrong either because of his complex nature and media image.
As for Belinda, we still don't know what happened there in 2007. Suddenly, Conrad saw something that we hadn't seen yet. Or I heard something in those years when I collected the information.
It would be sad if I rationalize everything now, and it turns out that these are really plot holes, but for now I want to believe in a well-thought-out plot.
I watch it and I keep asking myself one question: why did people stop believing in aliens?
Haven't there been a bunch of invasions before? People saw it all — the streets were overrun, disasters were taking place.
Maybe I missed something, but was there any explanation in any season (or arc) why humanity has forgotten or ignores all this?
Or is it just an artistic device to start each time with “well, we're ordinary people, and here comes the Doctor"?
In general, if someone can shed some light, I would be very grateful!
They can't stop lecturing you about what's good and what's bad. Of course, some will say, "You're reading into it something that isn't there."
Well, I don't know what any thinking person could read into the repetitive scenes throughout the show where "strong, powerful women" stand up to a "lying, stupid white man" who is CLEARLY just a traumatized boy :D
There's nothing like a show that once raised entire generations and suddenly has racial and discriminatory undertones, advertised as "peace and love"
Thank goodness they branched out into a separate title (albeit confusingly named the same), so maybe people wouldn't mistakenly watch it (even shit-eaters from IMDB know what this show is)
And, before you ask your brainless "Why do you watch it if you don't like it?" question: it's none of your business
Think of it as a case study if you must xD
The series is amazing, it made me think a lot. Sometimes there were religious notes from RTD. Konrad is being protected from above, but he doesn't believe it. A Doctor (Christ, the protector) comes to Conrad, and he drives him away.
I won't see a big TARDIS team like in the classics, like my ears
Conrad, I believed you!
I still haven't decided for myself - this attempt to stigmatize those who tell "lies" on the Internet (because we understand that they can lie from both sides) is the subtext of the authors or my contrivances in the prevailing realities.
