for the folks who wanted all of Susan Twist's casting appearances to date, here you go:

Mrs Merridew in Wild Blue Yonder

Mystery Woman in The Church on Ruby Road (uncredited)

Comms Officer Gina Scalzi in Space Babies (uncredited)

Tea Lady in The Devil's Chord

Ambulance in Boom

i don't believe Russell for a second, that they just 'ran out of actors' 😂 i am convinced that this mystery woman played by Susan Twist is some sort of embodiment of Story, the way Maestro is the embodiment of Music. the way she keeps playing supporting parts, the reference to Margaret Lockwood in The Wicked Lady... there's a few theories percolating right now, but i think she's a large part of the reason why the fourth wall keeps being broken. it's strange, how intrusive her presence is...it seems that with each episode, her importance to the plot grows stronger. she's gone from small speaking roles which don't impact the story, to directly interacting with the Doctor and Ruby, to being capable of killing characters in the central plot... is it possible that Susan Twist's character is attempting to take over the narrative and become the main character of Doctor Who herself? 👀

Seeing people say that we never see the Doctor and Ruby talking for more than 30 seconds makes me think 73 Yards and Dot and Bubble has just clouded their memories because the first four episodes of this era are almost nothing but the Doctor and Ruby talking and bonding.

Yeah, the Doctor-lite episodes meant we haven't had as much lately, but so many are going on as there's been none at all, as if every episode before 73 Yards was like Rogue where they were mostly separated in their own plotlines.

obsessed with how Russell T. Davies' episodes this season have gone so quickly from "run about with space babies! the beatles return the world's music" to "ruby assassinates the prime minister. mass murder in racism city"

I've got a dog! He's called Fred!

My dog is alive he's not dead!

I love my dog, he loves me too.

I haven't got a cat only a dOg!

MY DOG, MY DOG, MY DOG, MY DOG

I've got a dog! I love my dog!

He's my dog he's not your dog. If you want a dog get your oOown!

[truebluewhocanoe]

how the fuck do you have a Doctor Who episode featuring the Beatles with a villain who embodies music and is stealing all the music in the world and not have the resolution of the story be "the Maestro may be able to out-music-duel any one person, but multiple people playing music together and harmonizing can defeat the Maestro." come the fuck on. it's RIGHT THERE.

Today on Doctor Who, the world was saved by the power of McLennon.

The Devil's Chord

There's Always A Twist At The End - The Devil's Chord (Doctor Who) with a cameo by Murray Gold

[fan-of-chaos]

I love how freaked out the Doctor was in every scene in this episode since Maestro appeared.

Made this when the devil’s chord premiered and found it again so I knew I had to share it

Doctor Who: The Pyramids of Mars / The Devil's Chord

Bonus foreshadowing: The Pyramids of Mars / The Legend of Ruby Sunday

[ocean-irl]

My ranking of this series of Doctor Who:

8. Space Babies

No surprise here. Starts out strong but doesn’t stick the landing. I’d rather skip the last half hour and watch The Mind Robber instead.

7. Empire of Death

This one didn’t do it for me. I’ve never liked big time skips, the reveal of Ruby’s mother was disappointing, and too many plot threads were left dangling. That being said, there were some wonderful moments, like the scene in Downing Street set to Carol of the Bells.

6. The Devil’s Chord

Jinkx’s performance is good, but she’s at a 12 when she needs to be at an 11. There wasn’t enough to ground Maestro’s character, and as a result the episode felt disjointed. Great fun, though, and RTD did a great job conveying the stakes of dealing with gods.

5. Rogue

I’m giving this one the benefit of the doubt, as I wasn’t in the right state of mind when it came out and I haven’t rewatched it. Great performances, but overall the story felt stilted. Every time someone said “cosplay” it took me out of the fantasy.

4. 73 Yards

Great episode, and Millie Gibson shines. I’m too confused to rank it properly. Scariest episode in a while, with a haunting ending.

3. Dot and Bubble

I’m sure 73 Yards was technically better, but this one was a shock. As with many of the stories this season, what makes the twist of this episode so effective is that it was in plain sight the whole time. Made me reflect on how I navigate the world.

2. Boom

Moffat, it’s good to have you back! Great premise, very suspenseful, had me on the edge of my seat. I am concerned that Ncuti doesn’t have the gravitas to consistently deliver as the Oncoming Storm, but we shall see.

1. The Legend of Ruby Sunday

Not the technical best of this list, but certainly the most enjoyable! I was hooked the whole time, and my jaw was on the floor at the end. I have been getting more into Classic Who lately, and I loved having that pay off. The best part of this episode is the shots of the TARDIS in UNIT HQ, making that horrible noise, a symbol of hope and joy transformed into something menacing and terrible. This is Ncuti’s best performance of the season, and it’s the first time I truly saw him as the Doctor.

well, you know what they say...

like father, like child 🧸🎶

[lemonycranberries]

last episode and the episode name dropping is still going strong!!

[aq2003]

i saw a post saying boom was good bc it feels like it could be done with any doctor/companion duo and honestly that was one of the things i felt was wrong with it

[shadowblade8192]

if i had a nickel each time a character from dr who broke the fourth wall then started playing the dr who theme on an instrument and then the theme started playing continuing off as that instrument i would have two nickels which isnt a lot but its weird that it happened twice
