Dr Who… Awesome News If You're A Fan

[Jazzy Jag]

It wasn't preachy or frantic running and shouting , which was nice, and to be honest I never missed the Dr.
I don't recall any overt references to the LGBT message for a change but at the end I was left thinking " what was that all about?"

Or did I miss something ?

7/10 could have tied up some loose ends better.

[Puddenchucker]

I thought the most recent episode was pretty good but there were a several unaswered questions and things you were just supposed to accept.
Generally, I don't mind that - and there have been previous episodes with similar - but there were a lot in this one.
Also, is it really Dr Who when the Dr only appears for a couple of minutes at the beginning and end? In that respect it was more like an episode of Torchwood.

more holes than a tramp's vest, still enjoyed it though

Have another look at the opening sequence

RTD
"You will never know. I’m never gonna tell you what she says. It’s kind of up to you to sit there and think, 'Well, what could someone say that would make a mother run away from her daughter forever?'

Clever or arrogant?

[PinkTornado]

Yes.

Neither. Actually a lack of talent, he had no idea what she said.
RTD’s enigmatic mysteries are what most people would consider a lack of creativity.

So what's going on here? The same actress in 6 different bit parts since the anniversary special. https://mashable.com/article/doctor-who-susan-twis...

Yep, especially as she thought she’d met Ruby before.

I think she’ll be linked to her mum somehow.

[DoctorX]

I'm guessing Susan is involved somewhere, she got a name check in Ep 2. Although my money's on Mrs Flood as she recognised the Tardis.

So no opinions on 'Dot and Bubble' yet then?

I liked it, but with reservations.

Doctor light again, reminded me more of a Black Mirror episode. Still ok though. Were the slug monsters new or a ye olde monster brought back? They recognised her mum as seeing her before, so that's out in the open now. A little bit of angry/upset Doctor at the end too. Sci fi Bridgerton next week.

[Teppic]

Incidentally, Dot and Bubble was supposed to be an Eleventh Doctor & Amy Pond story in 2011. Steven Moffat had asked RTD to write a story for him shortly after RTD had left as showrunner, but it was ultimately scrapped due to budget constraints.

Fantastic episode, a Black Mirror-eqsue look at the future of social media. Loved the ending too, showing that group mentality always wins out and that even when everyone is completely levelled out and there’s no reason for any personality traits, some people are just s.

Agreed, the Dr was a bit of a spare part this week. Reasonably enjoyable though.

Loved it, and was happy that the monsters actually 'won' over the self absorbed social media warriors. It's not very often in Dr Who, when you want the monsters to win

[Don Veloci]

A nice dig at social media and group mentality I thought.

[The_Burg]

Was a pretty good idea. Enough to flesh out into a proper book / film.

With the AI algorithms used to create spam and bullst on faceberk.. If it became semi sentient it would pretty much figure humans were thick, vacuous and solely obsessed with fat influencers and moronic posts.

A SkyNet for the modern world.

Great to see the doctors first gay kiss, woke ticked
