Can't believe we got capitalism, Wales, and racism as villains in this show in a row

[clarencewho1963]

Welcome to Doctor Who Series 14! In this series, the Doctor faces some of the most dangerous foes in all of his travels. They are:

* Goblins

* Bogey

* Music

* Capitalism

* The Welsh

* Racist little cunts

* Bird People and King George the Third

Tune in next Saturday to see what horrendous monster the Doctor will face next!

[atalanta133]

is it just me or has every episode so far had a title drop?

“Space Babies” is said every other minute

“The Devils Chord” is mentioned during the cold open

The Doctor said “Boom” at least once

I can’t remember exactly when but I know “73 Yards” is said at least once

“Dot and Bubble” is literally the first thing that bitch Lindy says when she wakes up

more fuel to the Truman Show Theory??

a planet called Homeworld razed to the ground huh?. its inhabitants — stuck-up upper-class racially prejudiced elites? the faction keeps haunting the edges of the narrative, i wouldn’t go as far as to say the actual narrative, but. somewhere out there beyond the page there’s a paradox peeking through . like boom with its imaginary enemy. i suppose this is inevitable — fp is a metatextual shadow of whatever “doctor who” tries to be at any given moment, and, like any inverted doppelganger, evil twin, malformed caricature, it pops up in the unlikeliest untoward places to spook the hell out of the doctor and us

What if the baby your mom was fostering almost got eaten by goblins

What there were hyper intelligent babies in space but also a monster made of boogers

What if a drag queen came out of pianos and ate all the music in the world

What if the Doctor stood on a landmine and an AI recreation of a father had to kill Susan Twist

What if fairies yoinked away the Doctor and old Ruby made everyone hate her past self to stop a nuclear war

What if the Doctor was trying to save people from getting eaten by slugs but they were all racist, stupid, white, nepo babies

Three more episodes to go, excited to see them!

so uh i was just casually showering when this short poem about shadowpeach randomly came into my head and caught me offguard

something something every episode of the season has had a recurring theme of children, childhood trauma, and narrative convention being upended; the computer system in Space Babies playing out a literal fairy tale of babies in a tower and bogey monsters just below; The Devil's Chord on the importance of music as the soul of creative expression, Maestro the chaotic child of the Toymaker, ending with a musical spin on one of the most enduring tropes of fiction; Boom is an anti-capital diatribe of how faith is manipulated against us by systemic forces, that has an orphaned girl whose father's sheer love for her collapses the lies behind that nebulous war; maybe 73 Yards especially, an episode where Ruby's subconscious terror of abandonment manifests outwardly in the mysterious woman just yards away from her, warding everyone from her, so she tries concocting narrative solutions to explain its presence when in the end it's just her own narrative projected back at her, something she can only see at the end of her life, refreshed, rewriting the past; for Dot and Bubble it's more an audience one conditioning us to view the scenerio as a typical Doctor-lite adventure set in a colony of rich bitch children, even down to it employing Ricky September in an incredibly Doctor type role, before pulling the pastel rug out from under anyone who hadn't already clocked it; and now the Chulder of Rogue cosplaying their fave tv show like a bunch of children playing a maniacal game of dress up. The Legend of Ruby Sunday's title, I mean come on, and Empire of Death's title seems straight out of an ogWho serial; the story is breaking apart, the dominoes are falling down all around us, and something something is coming.

it's a story, it's always been a story, and I just wonder what the twist at the end will turn out to be.

I have posted this before but then i edited it

I can't stop thinking about how phenomenal Ncuti's acting has been in Boom and Dot And Bubble. I wasn't too sure from The Giggle that 15's vibe might be a bit too hip, but the emotions that man portrayed from episodes where he stood still the entire time and where he only appeared in person at the end. That man can ACT, that man IS The Doctor. He embodies the emotional intelligence and ancient wisdom and childlike wonder of The Doctor through and through. Pair that with the first thing Millie filmed as Ruby being a solo companion episode in 73 Yards and how well she did with that. Opening the series with Space Babies has not done justice to how spectacular the last 3 episodes have been. Space Babies was fun, but the elevation of Boom, 73 Yards, and Dot And Bubble has blown it out the park and made Space Babies look like literal child's play.

I might be over thinking but there has been a lot of emphasis on mothers and fathers, or lack thereof, this season.

In the star beast we find Donna and Shaun are now parents to a daughter, Rose.

In Wild blue yonder the not things and Donna going on about Auntie iris and mummy and daddy.

In the giggle the orphan puppets are all alone with their mother, because the father puppet burned on TV. And the TV man who bought stooky bill the puppet said what would mummy think of me now, when he was turned into a puppet, and then Donna surviving because she passed on the metacrisis to her daughter.

In the church on ruby road, Ruby has an adoptive mother because she was abandoned by her real mother at the church and the doctor also talks about being an orphan, not knowing his real parents.

In space babies all the babies are abandoned by their mums and dads and they think ruby and the doctor are their mummy and daddy and again the doctor talks to them about being an orphan himself and the doctor says the machine was mother and father to the babies and the boogie monster because it created both.

In the devils chord Maestro sings a song about her daddy being mean or something, her father being the toymaker. Also Henry arbinger ("harbinger") calls the maestro his daddy 💀

In boom the little girls dad dies by the ambulance and she talks about how her mummy went to heaven.

In 73 yards ruby gets abandoned again but by Carla this time, her adoptive mother.

In Dot and bubble lindy pepper bean talks about her "mommy" who's susan twist.

In rogue the dukes late mother is the portrait on the wall. (also susan twist)

And then in the legend of Ruby Sunday the doctor mensions that he is a father (or not let anyway because wibbly wobbly time wimey) Kate also mensioning her father (the brigadier) telling her stories about the doctor when she was younger. Mel mensions losing her family and now they're investigating rubys birth mother and we uncover some sort of demon thing from a past episode, and then the thing starts naming gods and stuff then says...

"there is incensor, the god of disaster and her children called doubt and dread and standing on high is the mother and father and other of them all."

The Maybe I'm just crazy, yeah I think I'm losing my marbles, this is bonkers 😂even for me, but there is definitely a theme here.
