I present: a word-barf of notes I took while watching The Legend of Ruby Sunday.

CONTAINS SPOILERS!!

Not sure that’s how the tardis works but whatever

Hey the whole gang is here

Oh FINALLY we’re talking about the old woman

SUSAN??? AS IN SUSAN FOREMAN??? Did not see that one coming

Oh cmon not the evil tech giant trope that’s like the most overdone trope in the book

FUCK OFF WITH THE ANAGRAMS I hate anagrams

Sharpen the image?? Bruh

FUCK YEAH ROSE NOBLE JOINS THE PARTY!!

Mel is a slay honestly

“Hiding myself away” goddamnit

FUCK OFF WITH THE FOURTH WALL BREAKING

Oh yeah wait does that mean River is Susan’s grandma? Or would it be someone else?

“A Phoenix is just a bird until it burns” goes way harder than it should

Isn’t that just the Animus from Assassin’s Creed?

I just realised that Ruby would’ve been born a week before 10 went back in time to see Rose before he regenerated

Don’t remind me of the goblins

Jeez the waterworks feel excessive

He’s gonna die

Actually forget what I said about the waterworks Ruby needs a hug

Big ol’ cloud of death my old friend

Alexa, play Curses by The Crane Wives

Doctor he was waving so many death flags he may as well have been communicating in semaphore, you have far worse to punch a hole in a wall for

“Doctor who?” UGHHHH

So she’s astral projecting???

Hehe the tardis farted

*scanning sounds* says here you’re gay

Hell yeah Susan says eat the rich

ENOUGH WITH THE ANAGRAMS

glitching text what is this a late 2010s indy game?

…should I know who Sutekh is?? Is he from Stargate??

AWOOP jumpscare

Vecna looking ass

COME ON THATS THE MOST INFURIATING CLIFFHANGER EVER ARE YOU KIDDING ME??

Doctor Who Season 14 Episode 7: The Legend of Ruby Sunday

I know that's not what's happening, but it would be absolutely hysterical if there were two completely separate things going on with Susan Twist and Mrs. Flood. Just two completely independent eldritch horror ladies running around 2024 London.

Anyway, this episode was a lot of fun. I liked Rogue better, but I think that's because we got setup and payoff in one go. I may like this episode more next week. Overall, 9/10.

So this season was building to Suketh, huh? Suketh. Great villain. Never seen Pyramids of Mars. I'll have to watch it this week.

One of my biggest problems with when franchises like this start pulling deep cuts is that they always go for things from the original setup. The best recent example is the Mandalorian having Luke show up out of nowhere, but it happens all the time. I'm always grateful when that doesn't happen around lore things, and I tend to go easier on media that avoids that. This episode gets points for doing a Fourth Doctor thing.

Also, the anagram twist got me. I appreciate that they immediately did the obvious one and then at the end revealed the red herring. There's also something so haunting about "Did you think I was family?" that I'll be thinking about for a while.

I was shouting "Chameleon Arch" at the screen for a while, and I'm not quite ready to let go of that theory of explaining Susan Twist, but I won't be upset if that's wrong.

Even looking past the end of the episode, there's a lot of fun stuff. The Time Window is a fun concept and the joke intro is great, and everything inside it works as a set piece. There's also a good use of the supporting cast in this one. The UNIT gang is fun (even if I miss Shirley from the specials), and Carla, Mel, and Rose all have great moments. I wish we got more with Cherri, but it probably would have demanded too much screen time if we got anything more than the one scene.

I'm also choosing to believe that the hardest part of setting up the time window was finding a VHS player in 2024.

This whole episode was great, and I'm excited to see part 2. Now to go watch Fourth Doctor stuff...

I just watched "The Legend of Ruby Sunday" and oh my god how dare they leave us on that cliffhanger and not give us scenes 🤯

Doctor Who The Legend of Ruby Sunday spoilers

If I had to pick a classic Who villain to come back as a member of the pantheon, I wouldn't pick Sutekh. Given the pantheon's role as gods bound by arcane rules, I think Fenric is a much more fitting choice.

Sometimes Twitter is still good.

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

also I love that Ruby and Rose met and both immediately went 👁👁Fellow Teenage Girl👁👁 and stuck together giggling for the rest of the episode that was so real of them

"It was the wrong anagram" needs to be added to the list of dw lines that sound arbitrary on their own but are absolutely HORRIFYING in context

IT'S OKAY TO LEAVE YOUR DOG IN A HOT CAR

Sutekh is a Whovian, to me...

For the god of all gods has returned.

LEGEND OF RUBY SUNDAY SPOILERS!

So Sutekh is back? The guy from the Pyramid of Mars? The episode with the funniest five seconds in all of Doctor Who?
