Spoilers Doctor Who 2024 (spoilers)

Not just walk, but also run down stairs!

Johnathan

It's not like Lindy was incapable of walking, it's that she's not used to making the decisions of where/how to walk. The skill is there, the mental effort to steer and control had been left to the Dots.

But, Lindy could immediately walk without Ricky after she closes the door. She goes from completely incapable of moving to being able to navigate, pick up bags and get on a boat, all without help. Never minding how the others figured out how to drive the boat. When you're incapable of walking in a straight line, steering a boat should be even harder.

I assume the time she spent bubble-less was enough for her motor control and balance to reorientate itself, and her last act of throwing Ricky in front of the AI bullet was sufficient to make her snap into going forward to the river

As for the boat - I'm assuming the guy who put himself forward as leader and whomever was steering were those who, like Ricky, had habitually spent time out of the Bubble. Indeed the fact that he was so keen to go into the wild and be a first settler kinda suggest he was far more action focussed than the vapid bubble-youth of Finetime.

Heh, come to think of it, it might have been interesting if he had been the one who had let the slugs in in the first place, only for the survivors to choose to go with 'the villain' instead of the Doctor because "you know, he's one of us"

The guy's name was Brewster Cavendish so he at the very least was competent enough to evade the slugs and Dots coming for him long enough to get down to the tunnel since they'd be going after him first since his last named started with "C."

Or that might not have been a meaningful detail, not sure.

What no comments about Rogue?

#1 - ok, my heart sings to see a direct D&D reference in Doctor Who. My nerd brain sat up and begged when that happened.

#2 - I did not like how this one ended. The field stops anyone from moving, but, someone else can push you out? Err, what? I really did not like that.

#3 - There was no actual reason to freak out. Nothing happens until someone triggers the trap. There'S no ticking clock. Surely, they could have figured out another way to get Ruby out of there. It's not like they had to do it RIGHT NOW.

#4 - I liked the music and I LOVED that Bad Guy was playing in the background. Very funny.

overt DnD reference wow!
Doctors first gay kiss! eeeww scandalous!

I enjoyed the episode, it was good to get another trip to the past and meeting a new space traveller. The bad owl species were interesting enough even if they possessed pantomime levels of overt evilness, the overt Bridgeton call outs got annoying. The end was predictably contrived but entirely Doctor Who so it gets a pass

I'd agree with all this. Not the best episode by any stretch. Not the worst either. 7/10?

 

[Aeson]

You got D&D in my Dr. Who.
No, you got Dr. Who in my D&D.

Would watching The Doctor play D&D be any fun? He'd "I've actually done that" everything.

What no comments about Rogue?

Give us chance! It's still morning here. You get to watch it a day before us these days because Americans are more important.

I expect I'll see it this evening.

Oy, no need to call me an American. I'm seeing it a day early because I live a day before you.

Does no one remember Captain Jack and hints that The Doctor was also a bit of a pansexual?

I would agree about the Bridgerton references. It was mentioned almost as often as "SPACE BABIES!"
