Doctor Who Ncuti Gatwa Xmas Special & s1

[nevin]

well it was only worth watching because we got to resolve an existing story arc they'd left hanging. If the writing doesn't get better I don't think this season will fare much better than the last 3 or 4.

Yeah. Doctor Who has the logic of a sloppy children’s cartoon. Next you’re going to have inflatable plastic chairs eating people, evil doppelgängers from alternate dimensions, the Lost City of Atlantis, or dinosaurs in London. I love it so much.

Forget London, how about DINOSAURS ON A SPACESHIP!?!

 

[James Gasik]

Well we did get The Doctor playing guitar on a tank, so that's something.

That's one of my favorite Peter Capaldi scenes! Right up there with his explanation of the Bootstrap Paradox.

I really miss Peter Capaldi's Doctor. I didn't think I'd like him when he was announced, but by the end I was sad to see him go. The interactions between him and Missy were incredible.

I could live without Nardole, however.

I was hoping that he'd get a much longer run, given his acting chops.

Moffat was just not the right writer for him. I think RTD or even Chibnall, maybe especially Chibnall, would have had a much better time.

Copied from the other Dr Who thread:

That was fun. Definitely more fantastical than usual, the Doctor's comment about opening a door for myth in "Wild Blue Yonder" was more portentious than I anticipated.

 

[John R Davis]

Baby kidnapped by goblins with a king and songs sounds familiar. .... .

Both main characters seem interesting for the future.

Hope the helpful neighbour returns.

Did you see the mid credits(?) bit?

Annie from Eastenders seems important!
