already seeing people criticise the christmas special as being against covid restrictions. respectfully, no, joy was clearly very specifically mad about partygate and the hypocrisy of our elected officials.

as someone who like grew up on Moffat era. Joy To The World is so clearly a Moffat story in like the most neutral, objective way possible. the "what did I see?" is so 11th Doctor era and mystery book coded. people being kept conscious in the afterlife due to technology. catch phrases being said over and over. women just being otherworldly. a really dumb wholesome guy (Trev).

"Joy to the World" preview analysis

The Doctor is bouncing through time trying to deliver someone a ham and cheese toastie and a pumpkin latte.

Notably, he doesn't seem to know who the food is meant for. A message on the psychic paper, perhaps?

He visits Manchester during a WWII bombing raid, the Orient Express in 1962, and Mount Everest basecamp in 1953 (the year it was first summited).

Basil (the old man) wonders about the door the Doctor came through. Since the same room appears on the other side of the door in the Queens Hotel, the train, and the Sandringham Hotel in 2024, this question is warranted.

Joy appears to be recently single, since she says she wasn't expecting to be lonely for Christmas.

The hotel manager is a Silurian. He also does not appear to know what a hairdryer is on sight. It's not like Silurians really need them, though.

He says "The star seed will bloom, and the flesh will rise."

It looks like Joy is the intended recipient of the food. If so, how did the Doctor know how to bring it? (see above)

today doctor who told me that the best thing a lonely autistic kind-hearted doormat people-pleaser can do is sacrifice themselves for a noble cause. not that i haven’t considered it before. LOVE when this show says “death doesn’t necessarily have to be a negative or the end, you live on as a story or a star”, it’s such a refreshing change from all the stay alive at any cost propaganda

oh my god. she had to say goodbye to her mum on an ipad because of the rules, while everyone who made the rules was partying. and she let her down and she can never go home on christmas. that may be a little too real.

Something I adore from Doctor Who is the way something so devastating can look so beautiful. How moments or people can be both painful and an amazing ride all at the same time.

How someone as lonely as Joy could have such a happy name. And how something as horrible as her death ends up being such a gorgeous ocasion, and a happy future for Joy and those who delight themselves in her light.

well that was unexpected
