Spoilers Doctor Who 2024 (spoilers)

there is the ring, the Doctor might use if to rig up a device that can trace Rogues psychic signature across dimensions - it might take a while (maybe even a couple of seasons) but no reason why Rogue cant eventually be found again

Good, Rogue seems like he'd make a great addition to the cast if he does come back.

Also I REALLY need The Doctor to get involved in a D&D game. He'd either get really into it or take everyone out of it by "Um, actually"ing it and it'd be great. Maybe try to rope whatever or whoever the villain of the episode is into the game.

Heck, I'd even buy tickets/pay for whatever streaming service it was on if Ncuti Gatwa did a liveplay campaign, he's incredibly talented.

Ncuti Gatwa, Neil Patrick Harris and Michelle Gomez playing their characters in a DnD liveplay would be inspired

but who would be the DM?

Given that magic and fantasy are bleeding through, it's quite possible that they'll do a "lost in D&D land" sort of episode, some time this season.

Neil Gaiman.

I say add Groff as a player. Whether or not he plays a Rogue is up to him.

The Doctor needs to do at least some rules-lawyering. He's a man who'll make any argument to add more +1s to his roll.

I reckon so. Chekhov's ring.

I rewatched The Church on Ruby Road.

Absolutely just as good as the first time.

It does a great job introducing the new Doctor as his own person and lets him do all the Doctor things, has foreshadowing for later episodes while still giving enough time to it's own plot, the monsters work, the Goblin Song's a lot of fun, and it tied up all the episodic elements in the end in a satisfying way.

"This is bad writing" is a valid complaint.

Yes, it is. If it’s coming from a place making a more interesting story. Not one that would drain all drama and conflict from the story.

And as I pointed out you've thus-far refused to actually address the specific complaints.

What is your particular complaint? That with a TARDIS the story doesn’t make sense because time travel?

I said no such thing. I said the exact opposite in fact.

Doesn’t sound like it.

Yeah, perfect accuracy begs the question of why The Doctor doesn't do more to fix things when Fixed Points In Time aren't in play.

Or just having the TARDIS materialize around people, which shunts them into a room of the TARDIS's choice.

That reads like every fan complaint about how the story is dumb because time travel should get the Doctor out of every problem. Thus draining all possibility of drama from the show.

Literally the opposite. Pointing out that the TARDIS working perfectly drains drama isn't saying the drama should be drained.

And you're still not addressing the specific complaint about Rogue's ending that you first replied to.

So, thoughts and theories.

So in The Giggle it was mentioned UNIT uses the Triad operating system.

Susan Twist plays Susan Triad of Triad Technology in the next two episodes.

"There's always a Twist at the end."

S. Triad is an anagram of TARDIS.

Hints at Susan, the Doctor's granddaughter earlier in the series. BTW, Susan said back then that she came up with the name TARDIS.

Anita Dobson is back as the mysterious Mrs. "What's wrong? Haven't you seen TARDIS before?" Flood.

Are the last two both dropping next week, or just one?
