0:01:18good to have you

0:01:19so the season the season is over I know

0:01:22we haven't talked about the last what

0:01:23three episodes though we've got a we've

0:01:27got some of that to talk about the

0:01:28finale aired this past week I guess we

0:01:35have where to where to start I i think i

0:01:36want to start with the finale maybe we

0:01:38can backtrack a little bit back into

0:01:40interesting weekend guess began do this

0:01:43in a non linear sequence of time because

0:01:45times like that I interesting that this

0:01:49was a single episode not a two-part

0:01:52blowout season finale like I've had in

0:01:54the past their wedding of River Song as

0:01:58it was called and i watched it a couple

0:02:01of times there's the first time I

0:02:03watched I I I like parts of it but I was

0:02:06also caught up and sort of what the

0:02:07resolution of the plot was going to be

0:02:09and i watch the second time and actually

0:02:11liked it a great deal more

0:02:13more than I did the first time which is

0:02:14kind of interesting but I didn't think

0:02:17it was kind of a strange episode and I'm

0:02:19just sort of curious to start out what

0:02:22did you guys think of the other finale

0:02:25well I was happy to see the return of my

0:02:27favorite character of course i know it's

0:02:30ridiculous but I like seeing durham i

0:02:32just love that actor and I love the role

0:02:34and it's so ridiculous dorium maldovar

0:02:36anybody get the new jobby the genie from

0:02:39people around show been going there

0:02:41oh look at hi mekka hiney ho yes

0:02:45yeah i was baltimore and he was

0:02:46hilarious even when he was just a head

0:02:48in a box reactor ama to when so it

0:02:51really all right it's true but it was a

0:02:54good thing it will its signal that the

0:02:55thing that signaled i think was that

0:02:56this wasn't going to be a Daleks kill

0:02:59everybody despite how the episode open

0:03:01this was going to be a Daleks kill

0:03:02everybody Cyberman creepy everyone dies

0:03:05the doctor loses a companion horrible

0:03:08sort of thing even though it's about the

0:03:09doctors def it's opens with pretty much

0:03:11I mean shortly and you can pay a crazy

0:03:14game of electric bill electrocution

0:03:17chess and then which was my great

0:03:19benefits great guy out of a Dungeons and

0:03:23Dragons ad from 1973 and and then you

0:03:27get a blue head in a box that speaks a

0:03:30marvelous Sydney Greenstreet toad and so

0:03:32you know this is me more of a lark then

0:03:34something that makes you freaked out and

0:03:36so I mean you know you can't contrast

0:03:38that with the episodes in which which I

0:03:41think all involve Daleks or something

0:03:42like in which stated tenants

0:03:43regeneration happened the season finales

0:03:46in different seasons the ones where our

0:03:48favorite where Donna Noble gets sort of

0:03:50her memory wiped and it's like this is a

0:03:52different kind of thing I would say well

0:03:54it's interesting that Steven Moffat i

0:03:56think is deliberate you know he's very

0:03:57carefully established his own continuity

0:04:00and his own story lines going out and i

0:04:02think in a way that you know Russell T

0:04:04Davies with the first few seasons he

0:04:06very much tried to bring back or build

0:04:08on all the pre-existing mythology so

0:04:11hence we having you know these climax is

0:04:13that involve Daleks and Cyberman and

0:04:15stuff that you know where were

0:04:16long-running pieces of the Doctor Who

0:04:19mythology and now we have this

0:04:20interesting you know continuity that

0:04:23that Steven Moffat has created

0:04:25and I was thinking that the the

0:04:27beginning at least of this finale

0:04:29reminded me a lot of the episode 2 which

0:04:32is kind of a spiritual successor which

0:04:33is a good man goes to war the

0:04:34half-season cliffhanger has the same

0:04:37sort of pacing in that beginning right

0:04:38where he's going to all these different

0:04:39places and sort of recruiting you know

0:04:43different people and different seeing

0:04:46different parts of his life and talking

0:04:48about different people he's known and

0:04:50there are a few references thrown in of

0:04:51course to the prior continuity as well

0:04:53but they're not the centerpiece right

0:04:55there's the sort of garnishing on this

0:04:57story that we've been following this

0:04:58entire season which is you know the

0:05:00doctors death and so I think that it's

0:05:02very it was it was a nice one it was a

0:05:05nice conclusion or is a nice piece of

0:05:07this our kinetic it pays homage to all

0:05:09the stuff that came before it without

0:05:11while not making that the like raison

0:05:13d'etre for this episode let's let's

0:05:15reread resurrect yet another classic

0:05:18Doctor Who enemy i say that Scott what

0:05:21about you

0:05:22well I thought that you know everyone

0:05:25you're watching this episode and you

0:05:26know the doctor is not going to die at

0:05:28the end so that kind of takes the whole

0:05:30dramatic force from the episode does a

0:05:33letter is it is it is it will you want

0:05:35to see how he does it the right like

0:05:37that's the thing with the doctor right

0:05:38make it so obvious within like the first

0:05:4010 minutes of how he's going to do it

0:05:41they might as well have just winked and

0:05:44when he said when the guy said if

0:05:45there's anything else we could do for

0:05:47you are you doing good for you because I

0:05:49didn't buy it and I had I was still on

0:05:52my theory of the flesh from you know

0:05:54earlier this month and watch dr. are

0:05:57being distracted by here earlier

0:05:58theories because that was really

0:06:00telegraphed you think so i don't i don't

0:06:03think so i wouldn't happen I turned to

0:06:05my wife and I said well there goes the

0:06:07flesh theory

0:06:08well no that was my problem still in the

0:06:10context of the episode is I think this

0:06:12is a felony or but the doctor has

0:06:14regeneration energy they showed it

0:06:16clearly so how did the robot ever

0:06:17created it

0:06:18I mean I thought about a regenerate I

0:06:19thought about god I mean I guess so

0:06:22special effects people on Doctor Who and

0:06:24the year 2011 can fake it so what would

0:06:27enter the what content you like to be

0:06:29able to get all those ago

0:06:31what can a robot yes to go ahead Scott

0:06:33sorry i just wanted to you know I I

0:06:35didn't I I didn't see that one coming i

0:06:38guess because I was so far into so many

0:06:41other different theories that I think it

0:06:44was right in front of me I just had

0:06:45never considered that was going to be

0:06:46about the way out anyway go ahead

0:06:48well I had no theory so you know I

0:06:51wonder how he's gonna do it and then I

0:06:53that wonder went away almost immediately

0:06:55and I was like well okay that was my

0:06:58disappointed acknowledgement of how it

0:07:00was going to do it but I mean it was a

0:07:02fun episode but I don't know it just

0:07:04kind of the whole i think the the

0:07:07dramatic it lacked gravitas i guess or

0:07:10something for me I I just didn't see the

0:07:12point of it because i already knew how

0:07:14he was he was not going to die so

0:07:15there's no point in I didn't know part

0:07:18of the episode was because it just

0:07:19seemed to make the whole arc bring a

0:07:21little hollow for me

0:07:23alright John how about you think you

0:07:26guys know my usual complain about dr.

0:07:28with that they they can't agree on the

0:07:30rules of the universe and they like to

0:07:31play fast and loose with everything went

0:07:33just fine whatever is what they want to

0:07:34do i but they made this finale hinge on

0:07:40these poorly defined universe rules

0:07:42because like the whole season maybe

0:07:43after always going to die it's a fixed

0:07:44point it's a fixed point supposed to

0:07:46mean anything you could you put

0:07:47substitute to other words for fixed

0:07:49point it would be equally meaningful to

0:07:51the degree that they explained it so

0:07:52they're very adamant that like all you

0:07:54can't you know this is for some reason

0:07:56the script

0:07:57this is a fixed point and we can't

0:07:59change this once you're gonna die even

0:08:01though you have a time machine your

0:08:02all-powerful blood is accepted and of

0:08:04course this episode the turn in this

0:08:07episode is guess what it's not really a

0:08:10fixed point because river song and

0:08:11freeze time and then time will be

0:08:13destroyed in blood but look I don't know

0:08:16I just do that doesn't bother me because

0:08:18the whole life I think the whole idea

0:08:19there is that fixed point means you

0:08:21can't change it and the answer is well

0:08:22what happens if you try and the answer

0:08:24is bad things happen it doesn't work

0:08:27they change it he doesn't die will know

0:08:30they don't change it don't change he's

0:08:32there he does all the things that

0:08:33happened were supposed to happen no

0:08:35one's checking his pulse

0:08:36I considered it a cheat but if that's

0:08:39what always where I don't know that's

0:08:41what always happens though I mean are

0:08:42you arguing that there's a time thing

0:08:44I don't think it's the central point of

0:08:45the phone anyways right in the central

0:08:47point the episode about that like the

0:08:48choices in the characters and though the

0:08:50what their decisions are making no but I

0:08:52then don't hang your episode I don't

0:08:54care that you have poorly defined

0:08:55universe rules if you don't try to hang

0:08:58your plot points off of those poorly

0:08:59defined rules like you're gonna probably

0:09:00define use let them not get in the way

0:09:02of your plot but don't make them the

0:09:04cornerstone of your plot I mean

0:09:05presumably there will be another season

0:09:06of the show with matt smith and

0:09:08presumably the rest of the universe

0:09:09realize hot that dr. that we thought we

0:09:11killed like he's alive time you know

0:09:13time this is already all happened it's

0:09:14not like we're not sequential and but

0:09:16here we are with the records of the

0:09:18University the doctor died but clearly

0:09:19didn't die some robot thing that he was

0:09:21inside got blown up but he's fine

0:09:23no no but that that implies a certain

0:09:25superposition knowledge that which is

0:09:27that it's never I think the mythology

0:09:29the show there's an issue about how much

0:09:31she's perceiving time sequentially

0:09:33although he supposedly has something

0:09:34extra special knowledge of its own

0:09:36timeline sequential as is and is

0:09:38necessary access is often sequential

0:09:41across how he hops and for other people

0:09:44to know that he's dead like he's not

0:09:45dead in the university's not removed

0:09:47from the universe as with the previous

0:09:49season thing it's not like he's been

0:09:51erased it's more like at some point the

0:09:54doctor dies here's the date of his death

0:09:55but they don't exactly the ones keeping

0:09:57track of precisely what point the

0:09:59timeline is I think that's consistent

0:10:00because we got the doctor of course is

0:10:02dying across all in time and space all

0:10:04the time in various incarnations and no

0:10:06one makes a big deal about the Tom Baker

0:10:07i have many more complaints about this

0:10:09episode we do have a list of grievances

0:10:13you would like to know i do so that

0:10:15complaint i'm gonna i'm going to reject

0:10:17that complaint because i think i think i

0:10:20really get any incorrect sir you know

0:10:23you're saying well but he didn't die and

0:10:25that the whole point of the fixed point

0:10:26in time is is you can't change it and so

0:10:29how what would happen if you tried me

0:10:31answer is you would destroy everything

0:10:33in the fabric of the universe and start

0:10:34to come apart and that's what he tells

0:10:36rivers you gotta do this you know you

0:10:38cannot do this this is a fixed point

0:10:40that its a cheat in the sense that the

0:10:43obvious one which is of course he's not

0:10:44gonna die

0:10:45there's going to be some way where he

0:10:46gets out of it but she still shoots him

0:10:48they still put his body on the thing and

0:10:50put the gasoline on and so on fire and

0:10:52cast adrift in the lake

0:10:54the only difference is now we know that

0:10:55it's the test selector and he

0:10:57no and he's inside and it doesn't even

0:10:59affect the thing so there's a cheap

0:11:01there but it's not easy to the to the

0:11:02rules of the universe i think i think

0:11:04that yeah i think its faithful so that I

0:11:05think they would not have records been

0:11:07dying here is that I could have made it

0:11:08not a cheap don't show that don't show

0:11:10that someone in the universe thinks that

0:11:12this is the time that the doctor died

0:11:13not these events happened but this is

0:11:15the time the doctor that they never

0:11:16showed that I don't think there was a

0:11:17reason to show that because we have the

0:11:18audience believe he died he gets lit on

0:11:21fire everyone could talk about him dying

0:11:22don't have the all-knowing we are the

0:11:24police of time and we go inside this

0:11:26little robots people don't have them

0:11:27have a record in their official files of

0:11:29him dying because it but there's no

0:11:30point in that and it undercuts there I

0:11:32mean what if they were complicit

0:11:33what if they agreed to keep you

0:11:34obviously they were right they agreed to

0:11:36keep it secret and create that this is

0:11:38this is why not a doctor faking faking

0:11:40his death essentially because everybody

0:11:42wants him dead so that he and and go

0:11:45back in the shadows like he says and I i

0:11:47don't think i also don't agree that this

0:11:49is something that next year you're gonna

0:11:51see that this continuing sort of the way

0:11:53that it's always been I think this is

0:11:55going to be a part of the recurring

0:11:57storyline is that he's trying to keep a

0:12:00low profile and not be famous and I

0:12:01think this is also Steven Moffat rain

0:12:03undo some of the russell davies stuff of

0:12:05he's the oncoming storm everybody knows

0:12:07him he can just say stop and everybody

0:12:10stops because they're afraid of him

0:12:12I think I think this is actually also a

0:12:15way for them to try to get back to

0:12:16stories where he's not famous basic

0:12:19laying around and they also they reset

0:12:21the clock he's now 200 years older and

0:12:23they're playing a molder matt smith i

0:12:24mean i don't think that's a subtle thing

0:12:25in the episode previous episode with our

0:12:29friend Craig which I'm blanking on the

0:12:31name of ready the closing time closing

0:12:33time a closing time he comes in and he

0:12:36is clearly world where he's older he's

0:12:38doing his valedictory thing he's not the

0:12:41david tennant doctor who spent a hundred

0:12:43years running around 40 with Queen

0:12:45Elizabeth and being hedonistic after the

0:12:47water of mars bars

0:12:48this is a different doctor is more

0:12:50serious and he's 20 years older and I

0:12:52mean I think that is part of resetting

0:12:54the universe is that you have a doctors

0:12:55now like I've done that I'm sick of that

0:12:57almost destroyed the universe again and

0:13:00so there's a point at which the you know

0:13:02if they've also given us they seated the

0:13:04next plot point which are the fields of

0:13:06trenzalore

0:13:08and at some point that's going to you

0:13:10know come up i don't think that's a the

0:13:12outside of the mythology and when we get

0:13:15to that it will be you know another

0:13:17season resolution and in that

0:13:18intervening time the doctors gonna be

0:13:20trying to keep his mouth shut and we'll

0:13:22see what happens now is my other problem

0:13:24with this episode story and the the

0:13:26question the oldest question known in

0:13:28the universe is Doctor Who yeah sorry

0:13:32900 years old you know it was dr. what

0:13:34happened is time machine is been back to

0:13:38the beginning you know remember when

0:13:39they went back and riverside message

0:13:42hello sweetie as silly as that is i also

0:13:45don't mind it because it is it for me it

0:13:48works on a on the metal level of in the

0:13:50fact that it ends with him kind of

0:13:51walking through the dark passageway with

0:13:53Dorian's uh head shopping Doctor Who

0:13:57Doctor Who and he smiles of natural I

0:14:00mean that's that you know that because

0:14:03it is the whole suggestion that his name

0:14:05and who he really is is relevant in some

0:14:08way and that that that is it was said

0:14:10actually in a line that i missed the

0:14:12first time I watched the episode that

0:14:13that the whole idea here is that that is

0:14:15something that once it said you know

0:14:17these things happen and that's what the

0:14:19silence is trying to stop by killing him

0:14:21and the funny thing now is that you know

0:14:23the silence thinks they've succeeded but

0:14:25they obviously have it now before we go

0:14:28back to John's list of grievances I want

0:14:30to ask serenity Caldwell what she

0:14:33thought of the season finale

0:14:36you know I actually I i liked it i was

0:14:41very entertained

0:14:42uh I'm frustrated that we have to wait a

0:14:44while to find out what comes next but I

0:14:46thought it was you know in comparison to

0:14:48the last sort of half part season finale

0:14:51good man goes to war

0:14:52I actually think i prefer this one

0:14:55whereas good man goes to war was very

0:14:57hectic and very very much i felt like oh

0:14:59god everything's happening at once and

0:15:01wait wait new characters and and and

0:15:05people and everything that happens at

0:15:07once in this episode that all his

0:15:08already happened I want but it's calmer

0:15:10literally as opposed to figuratively

0:15:13yes exactly everything literally happens

0:15:15at once in this episode and yet it was

0:15:17easier to swallow because you knew from

0:15:20the start when they introduced car

0:15:22is flying in Devlin's and and

0:15:24pterodactyls and you're like okay this

0:15:26is obviously something is going wrong

0:15:29and they will explain it to us shortly

0:15:31which they did but the actual but i felt

0:15:33the pacing was much I liked the idea of

0:15:35the doctor basically going around in the

0:15:37beginning of us and and going to various

0:15:40things and be like oh yeah I'm going to

0:15:41I'm going to tie up my loose ends told

0:15:43in flashback narrative which I actually

0:15:45think i like the best words you know you

0:15:47have that you have that wonderful trope

0:15:49of the soothsayer telling this story to

0:15:51the to the king more to the religious

0:15:53leaders it was really cool to see them

0:15:55twist and play on that and then having

0:15:57the Cabal of silence creatures to be

0:16:01what do we have a name for them other

0:16:03than silence creatures

0:16:04yeah there's a silent silent part of the

0:16:06silence yeah I'm was happy i think i

0:16:09like corpulent actors to some always

0:16:10happy to see in mcneese was a great

0:16:12character on the british TV chef I love

0:16:14him as Winston Churchill every time he

0:16:16appears i'm like all good corpulent two

0:16:18actors so John there's another two words

0:16:20so what we'll say it will say it this

0:16:21way that's always on the lake dr that's

0:16:25a corpulent actor in time and space can

0:16:28change it works I thought I thought that

0:16:33seemed with the two of them was was

0:16:34delightful with the weather where

0:16:36they're fighting off the silence but

0:16:37don't realize it

0:16:38yes it appears that we are fighting

0:16:40something why do I have a gun that's no

0:16:43I like that narrative device and I i

0:16:46think there have been times when when

0:16:47Marquez has played a little too cute

0:16:49with the with his his narrative devices

0:16:53but in this case I actually enjoyed the

0:16:55whole Churchill and the doctor met him

0:16:58sort of backing through the story and

0:17:00occasionally interrupting for you know a

0:17:02moment of sunshine as long as it's just

0:17:05a few of them

0:17:06yeah yeah that was that and then they

0:17:09look up where did you get the pen that's

0:17:11my question

0:17:13nobody always have markers on them and

0:17:15again oh yeah we have no other numbering

0:17:17system other than actually not a new

0:17:19thing that bothered me the most was this

0:17:21binary was the fact that so he doesn't

0:17:25in fact tell her his name when he

0:17:28whispers in writer and yet when we first

0:17:31met rivers on she tells him understand

0:17:34it's it's later i was presenting

0:17:36presumably at some point in the future

0:17:38he will yes it was

0:17:40yeah but I thought it would be funny if

0:17:42in fact she had she had just told him at

0:17:45that point

0:17:46look in my eyes I think that that would

0:17:49be funny maybe that is his name

0:17:51I think the whole you know she's going

0:17:53to the silence will fall when the

0:17:54question is answered I mean he is going

0:17:56to say it and he's gonna that's gonna be

0:17:58his name and she's going to hear it

0:17:59don't have we're going to know his name

0:18:02and that's dr who that's just out of

0:18:03sequence but you know what my wife and I

0:18:06were talking about this because she

0:18:07liked the episode and and she won't be

0:18:10on the podcast so she sends her regards

0:18:11but uh huh

0:18:13she and i were talking about it what I

0:18:14said was I feel like I feel like this

0:18:19didn't provide me with all of the kind

0:18:21of logical resolution i would like from

0:18:23from a finale but it did provide me much

0:18:27like last year actually with an

0:18:28emotional resolution I felt I felt like

0:18:30you know the things that mattered to me

0:18:33in terms of the storytelling and the

0:18:35characters were all kind of ticked off

0:18:38at the end I was like yes yes that

0:18:40that's all good and I can I can grow for

0:18:43you know plot things like why you know

0:18:47why build uh Apollo space suit and

0:18:50deploy it to kill somebody in the water

0:18:52in 2011 and i don't know why that is why

0:18:56did the TARDIS blow up last season the

0:18:58are we ever going to hear that it was

0:18:59are we just gonna forget about that

0:19:01because it's it was so long ago now that

0:19:03doesn't even remember that it happened

0:19:05you know stuff like that it was

0:19:07unsatisfying in a way but the stuff that

0:19:09you know about the characters and all

0:19:11that were much more satisfying

0:19:13I i think there's a great thing to those

0:19:15that we have to enjoy the day this is

0:19:18satisfying is when the silence this

0:19:21reminds me of the the thing they say

0:19:22Rory they're like

0:19:24Laurey Williams who dies oh yeah and i'm

0:19:29like somebody doesn't die

0:19:32yeah this is the comic relief in the in

0:19:34the two-parter i'm blanking on the name

0:19:36of the Daleks steal the earth in the

0:19:38diver assistant wonderful story Thank

0:19:40You and and the prime minister says I'm

0:19:43what's-her-name Harriet Jones Ontario

0:19:46Ontario who you however yes he asked me

0:19:49now oh you are the best comic relief

0:19:52moment the silence since that moment

0:19:54also we got it we got on Pont Amelia

0:19:57part this time which was great and i

0:19:59will say just to just to point this out

0:20:01and I'll see if the gentleman on the

0:20:02panel agree with me

0:20:03looks great and I had any problem

0:20:05looking about as good as ever look 100

0:20:08not occur

0:20:09yeah and like the eyepatch III taking

0:20:13off and she's very nicely put on all her

0:20:16makeup under her eye patch

0:20:18even though she was presumably thinking

0:20:20if if you see under my eye black world

0:20:22bed and everything she's a mean she's a

0:20:24model right he's gotta think she's

0:20:26always thinking she's always prepared

0:20:28that's right Scott you know anything

0:20:30about my eye I loved it I loved the the

0:20:33rapport between her and roy i love the

0:20:35the drawing of him with the doctor

0:20:38tracking up about it

0:20:40that was great i love the after she

0:20:42saves Rory we should have a drink

0:20:44sometime and get married yeah okay

0:20:46no the moment I mean that's the other

0:20:48thing about this episode is the moments

0:20:50in this episode we're all at I think

0:20:51great

0:20:52I i think the only the only moment that

0:20:55I don't that doesn't work for me is the

0:20:58wedding on the roof of the pyramids lord

0:21:02why was it necessary and yeah yeah they

0:21:06don't really mean that

0:21:07what is she some help for this universe

0:21:09but they didn't do anything except send

0:21:10text messages to the Sun they will miss

0:21:13you could buy btdub would love to be

0:21:16there and busy sorry yeah

0:21:18dr. we send our best thanks for

0:21:21everything good luck would also die a

0:21:23happy death they love everyone everyone

0:21:26that there is one doctor who is point i

0:21:29mean the point was river trying to show

0:21:31him how important he was in that letter

0:21:33just walk into this and I tried all your

0:21:36friends don't want to help

0:21:37cute but you're really important the

0:21:39entire universe is almost completely

0:21:40destroyed because of a misunderstanding

0:21:41right because it's really the doctor

0:21:43saying referred no seriously go ahead

0:21:44and kill me seriously

0:21:46alright I'll tight go ahead it's telling

0:21:49me true she's being very immature in

0:21:52this section and I think it's funny

0:21:53because I think he keeps on trying to

0:21:55tell her you know he's like I'm

0:21:56disappointed in you this was a bad idea

0:21:58and she keeps on looking at him with

0:22:00lovey-dovey eyes and look I did this

0:22:02also yes River this is younger river so

0:22:04yeah I know they did that well when

0:22:06she's with her parents and she's acting

0:22:08like she's about 14 years old at the end

0:22:10and I thought oh she's pitching this

0:22:12just right

0:22:13she's acting like a teenager she may be

0:22:14in a 40 something year old woman's body

0:22:16but she's she's perfectly like mom daddy

0:22:19mommy's a drink

0:22:20how great was that the realization for a

0:22:23me that she's the doctors mother-in-law

0:22:25nothing else and weather for the wedding

0:22:27fallout with a moment all right like

0:22:29that's the way down her face

0:22:33yeah but I mean I feel like the doctor

0:22:35kind of had to marry hurt get her to

0:22:38agree to do anything which was a weird

0:22:41kind of it was a weird plot device

0:22:43that's how i got married but oh so much

0:22:46haha ah but the universe is ok it was

0:22:49worth it

0:22:50we're not really married the right

0:22:51because it isn't was there an old

0:22:53handsome man wife

0:22:54that's right isn't a bad wife I find the

0:22:56whole time lord things you have to tell

0:22:58your name and he didn't do that

0:23:00so which is funny because I i read

0:23:02somewhere that someone complaining about

0:23:03the fact that well you know she's trying

0:23:06to do river justifies a me not being a

0:23:08murderer because it was in a different

0:23:09timeline that never happened yet she

0:23:10still claims she's married however I

0:23:12think agreeing with Glen's point agree

0:23:15with Glen's point that she's you know

0:23:16this is not that there's nothing wrong

0:23:18with that like right of course it's

0:23:20irrational i think it's it's willfully

0:23:21irrational because she is a teenager

0:23:23it's like wow yeah okay but the things

0:23:25that matter are still true

0:23:27I get to kiss him and John before we

0:23:30move on talking about the rest of the

0:23:32season and the other couple of episodes

0:23:33would you like to unload a few more of

0:23:35here at think that utilizes rapid-fire

0:23:37like like your fire machine-gun a bunch

0:23:39of cider I tradition court ones so the

0:23:42wedding ceremony we just discussed

0:23:44yeah they have the scene where she's

0:23:46very like you know the whole universe

0:23:47can be destroyed as it were that

0:23:49whatever her

0:23:50our ultimatum thing and she goes yeah

0:23:51yes it is like we have like don't read

0:23:54previously they had they had river in

0:23:57their relationship kind of like there

0:23:59was this unseen depth roads all off

0:24:00camera we didn't know we had been privy

0:24:03to this information you know that we

0:24:04knew they met each other and they have

0:24:05this romance or something we never saw

0:24:07it but at this point we've seen them

0:24:08interact so many different stages in the

0:24:10timeline that and I was still not sold

0:24:12on this great love the worst also yes

0:24:14they have the conjugal visits in jail

0:24:15repeatedly or whatever you know that

0:24:17they hinted at there's still stuff off

0:24:18camera that we're not seeing the when

0:24:20did this relationship formed between

0:24:21them that's romantic

0:24:23I get more of a romantic vibe from from

0:24:25Rory and Amy than I do from those not

0:24:26that I'm saying that there they did a

0:24:27bad job or wasn't scripted but you can't

0:24:29sell the season ending in a moment on I

0:24:33love you so much I want to destroy the

0:24:35universe well sorry you didn't you

0:24:37didn't convince me of that I didn't get

0:24:39in find well it's an obsession isn't it

0:24:41it's I mean she's been indoctrinated

0:24:43basically right now

0:24:45uh-huh she's been indoctrinated to kill

0:24:48the doctor and then it swaps over

0:24:50basically once he frees her in my

0:24:52apologies that was an inadvertent yes I

0:24:55thought they were trying to pay more

0:24:57sincere than that but I don't know so

0:24:58that that ever did not ring true for me

0:25:01also where she had a sequence of the

0:25:02relationship right i think it's early so

0:25:04she's sort of maybe they're gonna grow

0:25:06in that relationship is always off

0:25:08camera we never get to see that romance

0:25:10just always assumed to be happening

0:25:12we may see it in the future when you're

0:25:13not gonna have a full episode of ramen

0:25:16like really but they had a false two

0:25:18full seasons of already got the doctor's

0:25:20wife was as close as we got that I I

0:25:22wouldn't i mean i-i other than the fact

0:25:25that I don't think alex kingston was

0:25:27interested because she's got up

0:25:28she's got a daughter in the u.s. you

0:25:31know they get big and put her in the

0:25:33show for a year and then be like see ya

0:25:35now we'll get those adventures but i

0:25:36don't think they ever will I think she

0:25:38will always this is what river song is

0:25:40made for she pops in and and there's a

0:25:42lot of stuff that sort of off-camera

0:25:43that you just have to take on faith and

0:25:45all right John

0:25:46what else what else you got for us so

0:25:48usually they have at the end of the

0:25:50season they like to put the universe or

0:25:51at the very least the earth in peril

0:25:53that's the thing right

0:25:54yeah and this new thing so this time I

0:25:57thought it was an interesting idea to

0:25:58say we're going to put the doctor in

0:26:01peril is not the universe is not the

0:26:02earth is just the doctor

0:26:03the personal story about him it's his

0:26:05crisis right they still have to go on to

0:26:08say like well it's not just dr. because

0:26:09the doctor goes away that puts the

0:26:11universe in peril because the universe

0:26:12needs the doctor can't they just have it

0:26:14as a nice season about him personally

0:26:16that's not enough at stake of a I I

0:26:19thought they'd waffled on I i hear ya I

0:26:20hear you on that uh and that actually

0:26:23something that I thought which is it's

0:26:24actually similar structure the last

0:26:26season's finale where there's kind of an

0:26:27alternate universe that's created

0:26:29because weird time things and people are

0:26:31in there and then it has to get fixed

0:26:33that the difference though this time

0:26:35which i thought was funny and there's a

0:26:36nice moment where this comes up is we're

0:26:39talking about what's wrong and the

0:26:41doctor says it's because i'm alive so

0:26:44the universe is broken now because he

0:26:46hasn't died not because he has and

0:26:49that's that's a nice twist because

0:26:50you're right they have many times

0:26:52they've done be you know we've got to

0:26:54say the doctor to save the universe and

0:26:56now it's like know you've gotta kill the

0:26:57doctor and they probably could have done

0:26:59more with that right i mean he you know

0:27:03they're there but you know it make sure

0:27:05they could have gone a different way

0:27:06with it but but I did think that was

0:27:08interesting even though it did seem a

0:27:09little bit reminiscent of the Big Bang

0:27:11from last year with the whole alternate

0:27:13history thing it was nice eternal

0:27:15stickers again now plugging his book on

0:27:17the BBC morning you know Meredith Vieira

0:27:20years obviously people while she was she

0:27:23was there with the today show and they

0:27:25did like a thing from the set and so

0:27:26they put her in the episode

0:27:27apparently that's the same way we don't

0:27:29know who these British celebrities are

0:27:30they don't know who are right the guys

0:27:32interviewing Charles Dickens reason and

0:27:33that is a great segue into closing time

0:27:37the previous episode which yours James

0:27:39Corden back is Craig from the larger

0:27:42which is one of my favorite episodes of

0:27:44last season and my understanding see

0:27:46where a bunch of Americans here

0:27:48my understanding is that James Corden

0:27:50who's got a famous popular sitcom i

0:27:53guess in the UK and lots of people

0:27:55really hate him at because they don't

0:27:57like a show animal and i have no idea

0:27:59what else he's done but I love him and

0:28:02the as craig and the rapport with with

0:28:05Matt's miss delightful this whole

0:28:07episode was delightful is a delight

0:28:09oh he's so adorable and it shows once

0:28:12again that the Cyberman are the worst

0:28:13villains and Doctor Who and they know

0:28:15we're not around and they know it right

0:28:17i mean that's the thing about this

0:28:19episode is that it's like well we got a

0:28:21comedy episode we Cybermen kinda looks

0:28:23scary but they're useless so we'll just

0:28:26have to be useless like all right I

0:28:28guess you mean the scariest villain in

0:28:29the episode was the little like

0:28:30cyber-render what is happening with the

0:28:33matter rat with you real mouth poorly

0:28:38composited real mouth i like to call him

0:28:40buddy yeah yeah yeah this whole episode

0:28:42was great that the doctor's report with

0:28:44Craig is awesome i love the first scene

0:28:47with I'm back

0:28:48you've redecorated i see i don't like it

0:28:50we moved into a new house the previous

0:28:54pitch up at the picture fantasy league

0:28:55pitch episode I've got to say there's

0:28:57parts of this is like the doctor and

0:28:59Craig they live together and become you

0:29:01know it's like it's like you're seeing

0:29:03like a sitcom I could do a 20-minute

0:29:04version of this every week fighting

0:29:07pantomime villain that would be an

0:29:08enjoyable said come to watch I have to

0:29:10admit we called the pantomime doctor I

0:29:12speak baby by the way right that will

0:29:15finish today little black yeah there was

0:29:17a man that wasn't mentioned it earlier i

0:29:19can remember when but I suppose it's now

0:29:21the pond right now melody pond right in

0:29:23a good man goes to work right right

0:29:25right for me i don't know that i love

0:29:27the I love the shape

0:29:29Shh oh yeah sure another life for ya

0:29:32you know what I mean no no not all of

0:29:35them just certain ones i mean i like

0:29:37that it works on Craig in particular

0:29:38right just once but it doesn't really

0:29:40work for bunch of time I love actually

0:29:42one of the things I love about I see

0:29:43that episode where the get a sci-fi plot

0:29:45is really not necessary it's their door

0:29:49aspects of gather have to this right is

0:29:51there to be there but some of the it's

0:29:54just funny and sweet and there's some

0:29:55moments that are really nice and i like

0:29:57i love the fact that the doctor gets a

0:29:59job at the department store employee and

0:30:01also lined up with the name tag that

0:30:02says the doctors don't I asked the

0:30:04doctor because that people buy but uh

0:30:06that everybody who works at the

0:30:08department store loves him and this is

0:30:10why don't you let you know your five

0:30:13they would

0:30:14it's like how does he do that with this

0:30:15power rake trying to get information was

0:30:18just the funniest because you could see

0:30:20he was being very earnest but at the

0:30:22same time so creepy

0:30:24look at my baby isn't keeping you every

0:30:26time I picture this episode of my mind I

0:30:28see Andy Richter instead of whoever this

0:30:29probably could do it in two

0:30:32interchangeable I've mapped i have

0:30:34mapped in American celebrity on that

0:30:35he's a little more sad sack then it than

0:30:37any rare but yes I can't get that image

0:30:40out of my head

0:30:41thanks John it and this is a case where

0:30:45I'm not gonna complain about the stupid

0:30:46Cyberman plot because it was so clearly

0:30:48not important to the episode in fact i

0:30:51would have liked it if they remove that

0:30:53plot you're not going to complain about

0:30:54the fact that the doctor says the ship

0:30:56is containing the explosion when they

0:30:58clearly show the explosion happening

0:30:59outside the show back that I think

0:31:01there's a ship or why was it done there

0:31:03it's just buried in material and save

0:31:07was power a well-loved and there's also

0:31:10some kind of love this is cute

0:31:11this is acually the business in the

0:31:13subsidy yeah maybe saved by love I what

0:31:16I like about that and it's something the

0:31:17doctor who has done going back to that

0:31:19first episode of the reboot with the how

0:31:22do we kill them being a living plastic

0:31:23well you just use anti plastic that this

0:31:26was like that where the doctor says well

0:31:29no you didn't really say from with love

0:31:31their it's very it's much more technical

0:31:34and yeah nevermind yeah sure you save

0:31:36him with love I love that because it's

0:31:38it's the show say it's really not

0:31:40important

0:31:41it sure

0:31:42just yes it was loved one hour it goes

0:31:45back to this whole Steven Moffat run

0:31:47being more of a fairy tale than

0:31:48scientific right right

0:31:50the logic is not as important or the

0:31:52science-fiction aspects are not as

0:31:54important as they were in previous

0:31:56iterations for sure everyone and I like

0:31:59that I like that in fact as John said

0:32:01cyber better in it you know the ship

0:32:04kinda looks cool and they got to reuse

0:32:06the set i think from a good man goes to

0:32:08war right and just dirty it up and and

0:32:11they're pointless and so there you there

0:32:14used his assessment is there's the funny

0:32:16they get the funny scene where he has

0:32:18Craig not turn around because they have

0:32:20teleported out of the elevator and into

0:32:22the cyber ship and lets you know that

0:32:24he's really good that's what their yeah

0:32:26that's a good use of the cyber bullying

0:32:28cranks interested that's the great part

0:32:29Craig is tempted

0:32:30he's like really well no I can't take it

0:32:33that you have been a doctor was awesome

0:32:36but no it wasn't all that surprised

0:32:39um I thought the biggest problems

0:32:40episode is really night terrors was it

0:32:43which we all sort of wonder if we all

0:32:44hate it i did not like night terrors

0:32:45very much i was what i was the only

0:32:47defender yeah yeah I sort of liked it it

0:32:50had but it was like it was about 10

0:32:51minutes of a longer episode that they

0:32:53ran to 44 in this case you have the

0:32:55closing time was probably the complete

0:32:57realization of it three-dimensional

0:32:58characters you care about the baby you

0:33:00care about Craig there's a laughable

0:33:02threat but it's still Craig has to

0:33:04defend himself yesterday you know be a

0:33:07father and step into the role and so

0:33:09forth and it was very very funny too

0:33:11I had one issue with this episode and

0:33:13yes it was I thought the the idea you

0:33:16could have been in the Craig role to III

0:33:19do i am a husky fellow so i could have

0:33:21stepped in

0:33:22should-should no one else to be

0:33:24available but how do you work anywhere

0:33:27baby you should through I very carefully

0:33:33exactly i don't think i get Alicia slide

0:33:35I thought the the so was only like you

0:33:37know a minute but of having Amy and Rory

0:33:39in the department store and then having

0:33:41apparently a me being the spokesperson

0:33:43for perfume or was there you go that's

0:33:46petrichor just a little bit

0:33:49that's very nice that was unneeded

0:33:50unnecessary what I well what I liked

0:33:53about it is that is that the doctor sees

0:33:55them he's

0:33:55wants to talk to them and he had made

0:33:58the decision to not not see them and

0:34:01it's obviously been years two and he he

0:34:04turns away and doesn't see them and I I

0:34:07kind of liked that it was strange to

0:34:09have it in that episode but given that

0:34:10it's the one episode where we don't have

0:34:12Amy and Rory and it was strategic oh

0:34:14there they are and they're getting on

0:34:17with their lives and he's just gonna

0:34:18back away

0:34:20I i think that expected aspect of it

0:34:22didn't catch me you know yeah which was

0:34:24kind of interesting and she's signing an

0:34:25autograph why is she signing an

0:34:27autograph

0:34:27no she's and then we see this you know I

0:34:31kind of I kind of liked it only because

0:34:34we do drop them off in the with the

0:34:36previous episode and it's nice to have a

0:34:39little bit of call back there and see a

0:34:41they're doing ok without him and I think

0:34:43that's the real sort of book plz it's a

0:34:46it's a positive thing and a blow at the

0:34:48same time because he doesn't he wants to

0:34:49start and walk over to them and then

0:34:52then he stops when he sees the autograph

0:34:54and he stops when he sees no she's doing

0:34:57well and oh they're happy and maybe I

0:34:59shouldn't interfere and it's part of

0:35:00this whole continuum we're starting with

0:35:02the previous episode where he drops them

0:35:04off and then going through this going

0:35:05through stuff with Craig you know and

0:35:07realizing you know this is he's coming

0:35:10to the end of this road and then the

0:35:11stuff in the beginning of the final

0:35:14finale where not only does he talk sort

0:35:16of about going to visit everybody you

0:35:18know but he also he calls up the the

0:35:21Brigadier short huh yeah they get that

0:35:25tip of the head into the fact that the

0:35:27actor passed away earlier this year and

0:35:29but that's sort of what tips them over

0:35:30the edge where he starts to realize you

0:35:33know I think and I think there's a

0:35:34continuum there right he he did leave

0:35:35these people behind for a reason right

0:35:38that will I'm sure get into in a moment

0:35:40but it and this is all played into his

0:35:43decision to go you know to go through

0:35:47with this whole plan that he has I think

0:35:49we all have positive feelings about

0:35:51about closing time it was not a

0:35:52complaint and I want to have a complaint

0:35:54ok go for it oh no one complained

0:35:57perhaps Oh John don't squander it so

0:35:59this is like a lot more of a meta

0:36:00complaint with this episode when it

0:36:02started I thought oh this is going to be

0:36:04an episode about Craig kinda like how

0:36:05the larger ones like centered on him and

0:36:07the doctor was there but it was

0:36:09it was centered on non-doctor characters

0:36:10they do those episodes occasionally I

0:36:12and when I see episodes like that i was

0:36:15compared to my head to the best

0:36:17non-doctor center and episode link here

0:36:20the best episode of the show i know i

0:36:23know it is kind of unfair but it's it's

0:36:25amazing to think that this episode that

0:36:27everybody loves is not heavy on doctor

0:36:30or anything like this nice still clearly

0:36:31a doctor who episode so I thought they

0:36:33might have gone in that direction with

0:36:34this and that's where I see like the

0:36:36Rory and Amy showing up as like them

0:36:38under cutting themselves like you can do

0:36:40an episode just Craig or maybe even just

0:36:41Craig in the doctor don't bring those

0:36:43guys back in because it doesn't seem

0:36:45like they have the guts to they wouldn't

0:36:46have the guts to a blink like episode

0:36:47anymore was people would say where's

0:36:49worried were not think so i think that

0:36:51was part of the overarching plot i think

0:36:53there's that was deliberate

0:36:54I mean it was yeah i mean we're talking

0:36:55about the penultimate episode know that

0:36:57I mean after the late great is a weird

0:36:59placement for this thing but when I saw

0:37:00the episode reminded me of those ones

0:37:02the ones that i like but occasionally

0:37:04you could do an episode without those

0:37:05people and just have an interesting

0:37:06sci-fi stories it's almost as if doctor

0:37:08who and his companions 10 min for making

0:37:11the interesting sci-fi stories did ya

0:37:13might want to say so what I've done the

0:37:14last couple years is break those into

0:37:16and so this year with what you had was

0:37:18the girl who waited where the doctor

0:37:20basically is only in one scene outside

0:37:23of the tartness and the rest of it is

0:37:24Amy and Rory and and then the other half

0:37:28of it is this episode good at closing

0:37:31time where Amy and Rory are only in one

0:37:33scene and presumably I think these two

0:37:36episodes were shot in parallel so that

0:37:38their they could Bank two episodes at

0:37:40once I say I'm whereas with blink they

0:37:43that you know the doctor and Martha are

0:37:45into scenes and you know they shot it

0:37:47concurrently so they've done this

0:37:49companion light episode in a doctor

0:37:51light episode and that's what the larger

0:37:52was the larger last year was also the

0:37:55doctor will pay me as well as Amy she

0:37:57was only ever on the TARDIS so it is

0:38:00kind of like but it is off format a

0:38:02little bit and you're right i think i

0:38:04think when the show goes off format it

0:38:05is it gets really interesting and that

0:38:09they should be you know 30 today they

0:38:12generally do about one season I wanted

0:38:14to but it's good and like that like

0:38:16Blake is the best example John and I've

0:38:18said to people like a Twilight Zone

0:38:20episode you don't even need to know

0:38:21anything about

0:38:22doctor-who to enjoy blink because you

0:38:24know it's not really relevant to the

0:38:27show's continuity in fact the doctor is

0:38:29barely and he's just some guy with a

0:38:31time you can also argue that they're

0:38:33setting it up to provide for the

0:38:36opportunity to do more of these sort of

0:38:37standalone episodes now the doctor is

0:38:39underground and not technically living

0:38:42by the University standards right but

0:38:45he's still alive did not clearly showing

0:38:48this in closing time that when we walked

0:38:50out of cine IBM fell from the roof and

0:38:52killed into that was gonna say yeah and

0:38:55they're just outside he was struck by a

0:38:57car outside

0:38:58yeah exactly so so let's talk about

0:39:00let's talk at least briefly about the

0:39:03god complex which is the i have

0:39:04complaints about the god complex so

0:39:06totally hotel somehow it's the Hotel

0:39:08California episode

0:39:10oh yeah it's it's a it's a shining

0:39:12episode it's the star trek hollow shed

0:39:14goes crazy episode practically when

0:39:18taking it at face value this episode was

0:39:21was interesting and kind of fun it's

0:39:24like okay you know monsters and they're

0:39:26chasing around the hotel and then once

0:39:28they got to like the last year once they

0:39:30got to the last five minutes at ten

0:39:31minutes they're trying to explain what

0:39:33this all is and why the praise Him and

0:39:35everything in my head just started to

0:39:37hurt and I'm like wait

0:39:38ok so you're doing the Minotaur and the

0:39:40maze and I you know again I like the

0:39:42mythology but this felt so tacked on and

0:39:45so completely out of left field that I

0:39:47left was left very with a sour taste in

0:39:50my mouth so I can I liked it I liked

0:39:52everything I I thought that the what's

0:39:57the that character the doctor and nurse

0:39:59whatever they were setting her up to be

0:40:00a replacement companion

0:40:02yeah I Oh boys way to it was to all

0:40:05those people it was more like he's he's

0:40:07started to crush on her and be like you

0:40:09could be my next prison you're so smart

0:40:12i kinda creepy guy can ruin your life

0:40:15yeah you guys I like it and I like that

0:40:20there's that pulling out of the rug

0:40:21where you know even the smart people you

0:40:23know the people that the doctor thinks

0:40:25you know our are worth it essentially

0:40:27still don't get out all the time I kind

0:40:30of enjoy I i kinda like this whole I

0:40:31kind of like this whole episode I don't

0:40:33know it i think because i was very

0:40:34immersed in from the beach

0:40:35me because of the way that they just

0:40:37sort of drop you in and there is no

0:40:39explanation of what you're going on

0:40:40what's going on and so is kind of creepy

0:40:43right there is amps the stocking this

0:40:45and like that guy with all the the room

0:40:47with although doesn't look with dummies

0:40:49I don't there's a cloud adjective 1 I

0:40:51mean just a cloud that's just sitting

0:40:52there though right I get it it's i found

0:40:55it you know largely understated for an

0:40:57episode and not necessarily the most

0:40:58original idea like there's there's rooms

0:41:00for all your fears or whatever but I

0:41:03don't know I I there was something

0:41:04effective about it for me and I didn't I

0:41:06gotta understand the complaints about

0:41:08the last five minutes at the same time

0:41:10it was kind of nothing more than a

0:41:12passing sort of interest for me where

0:41:14it's like oh ok alright it's this thing

0:41:16ok let's move on that's not really the

0:41:17point again this is the twist good

0:41:19though that that it's not the rooms are

0:41:22there with with full of your fears in

0:41:24order to kill you

0:41:25the rooms are there full of your fears

0:41:27in order to have you have to rely on

0:41:30something I think you get you through

0:41:34and there was 13 my convoluted once it

0:41:37finds that it eats that and you and then

0:41:40you die happy right which is well I know

0:41:42it was convoluted but it was interesting

0:41:43and trying to be different and i saw

0:41:45some discussions on the internet about

0:41:47how they thought that that eating on a

0:41:49that monster feeding on faith is a is a

0:41:52sort of anti religious statement i

0:41:53thought you know I now that I've

0:41:56mentioned this stupid thing from the

0:41:57internet i'm gonna beat it up because i

0:41:58don't i don't actually agree i think

0:42:00that the point here is first off it's

0:42:02it's an evil monster that eats on each

0:42:04your faith but that they tried to be

0:42:06broader than that i liked the whole

0:42:08aspect of it having to be that you know

0:42:10Amy had to lose her faith in the doctor

0:42:13right

0:42:13I i like that that sort of flip side

0:42:16around it

0:42:17well its initial setup and it's also

0:42:19it's the doctor seeing just how badly

0:42:22he's route he thinks that are ruining

0:42:24people's lives and he's like well you

0:42:25i'm not going to save you I can't save

0:42:28this girl who I potentially could have

0:42:30been my next companion I can't save

0:42:31anybody

0:42:32I'm going to drop you off and prepare

0:42:34myself and go away and i think there's

0:42:37also they were trying to do a parallel

0:42:39between the the Minotaur beast being old

0:42:42and and you know you're trying to make

0:42:45his way they were trying to do it and i

0:42:46saw i saw all the pieces

0:42:49like I like the the first 40 you know 30

0:42:53minutes of the episode and I like the

0:42:54pieces that they were trying to put

0:42:56together I just don't know if it

0:42:57succeeded may be entirely if you better

0:42:59on paper than in yes it's like a doctor

0:43:01who episode recipe because it's always

0:43:03like one part strange situation a

0:43:05one-part thing with Lauren Amy's

0:43:07relationship one part overall mythology

0:43:09leading towards the finale and when they

0:43:11get the mix right it works out i

0:43:12definitely agree that all the

0:43:13ingredients were there but the mix was a

0:43:15little lumpy right i will say this

0:43:16though great direction

0:43:18I don't know what happened to your

0:43:19metaphor I guess whoever was running the

0:43:22beat the the mixer with a good job i

0:43:24will another production the production

0:43:26was really and we'll just looks

0:43:28fantastic and looked eerie and creepy

0:43:30and those two episodes that were talking

0:43:32about the same director because I think

0:43:33he directed the girl who waited to

0:43:34really like them visualize just some

0:43:36stuff that you haven't seen a doctor who

0:43:38was like you know really striving to

0:43:40provide some a different look and in

0:43:42this one you have the security cameras

0:43:45and security cameras were great

0:43:48both of them did a really good job of

0:43:49being very internally consistent in

0:43:51creating these worlds that were

0:43:52incredibly distinct i love the

0:43:54claustrophobic feel about above the

0:43:56hotel with the the stairway and with the

0:43:58TARDIS on it and it was gone and my

0:44:00TARDIS and we start and we start there

0:44:02and and like like you said and the you

0:44:05dropped in

0:44:06I mean I actually love that when doctor

0:44:07who does that where you're like what

0:44:09where are we why are we doing this you

0:44:11know instead of having to be hey we're

0:44:12in the TARDIS let's go somewhere this

0:44:14place looks interesting let's go out the

0:44:15doors and have an adventure you know I

0:44:17kind of like it when they don't do that

0:44:18but they walked out right yeah like you

0:44:20said they disappeared they walk out like

0:44:22there's you know a minute and then

0:44:23they're like okay we should go

0:44:25oh crap yeah we can't its I thought that

0:44:29the very small to the hotel this right

0:44:31since all of us have attended many

0:44:32conferences and been in endless hotel

0:44:34corridor all of the ventriloquist w yeah

0:44:38i mean that happen home designs yes

0:44:40yeah and you're like always did that and

0:44:43I started to have this is why i could

0:44:44never watch the office either the UK the

0:44:45US was up i don't work in offices like

0:44:47that what is too similar to experiences

0:44:49they've had where I start getting the

0:44:51palpitations and like this episode of

0:44:53Scott me like all the endless hotel room

0:44:57oh I didn't want to give a shout out to

0:45:00the the the the Cowardly aliens who I

0:45:04really hope appear in pleasure from the

0:45:06servants most because i love all I love

0:45:08the idea right where the video channel

0:45:11surrender monkeys

0:45:12yeah what do you think about them not

0:45:14even is just a surrender to infiltrate

0:45:16and i love that I love that concept and

0:45:19I really hope that actually yeah that's

0:45:21another apparently famous actor from the

0:45:24David David Walliams always a little

0:45:26little britain guy right yeah yeah yeah

0:45:29so so that we don't recognize plus he

0:45:31was dressed up like an alien butt so I

0:45:34let's talk a little bit before we go

0:45:37about the season as a whole we did this

0:45:41last year and I think it's worth doing

0:45:42again to go around and maybe ask for

0:45:47what your favorite episode of the whole

0:45:49season was and if you'd like to beat on

0:45:52something that your least favorite thing

0:45:54in the in the season and I guess I'll

0:45:59start because that way you guys will

0:46:00have time to ponder while I while I talk

0:46:04about my favorite thing I think my

0:46:06favorite episode of the season is you

0:46:12know the neil gaiman episode is obvious

0:46:13but I i guess i'll say instead just to

0:46:15be less obvious less let's kill hitler

0:46:17because it was such a misdirection and

0:46:20it was wild and crazy and had the crazy

0:46:24shift with the little alien people

0:46:27inside it you know but I i like the game

0:46:31episode 2i like most of the Mafia

0:46:34episodes other than I i think the the

0:46:37two-parter at the beginning of the

0:46:39second part of that wasn't so so great

0:46:40so and then my least favorite this is

0:46:44going to be everybody's to say this but

0:46:45that time the pirate episode yes which

0:46:47it isn't by renault deal of that up then

0:46:52looked up to go i did not all of us when

0:46:54that was the run and that was you know

0:46:56right

0:46:57read what do you think what were your

0:46:58favorite and least favorite things about

0:46:59you stole my favorite my favorite hands

0:47:02down as let's kill hitler but I'm oh God

0:47:05was my second favorite are you can you

0:47:07can just go with me

0:47:08hi oh I would

0:47:09ok i will check in with Jason let's kill

0:47:14let's kill hitler was I still have

0:47:16quotes banging around in my head from

0:47:18that from that show from that episode I

0:47:21love the characterization of Mel's as

0:47:23melody pond much much more than I like

0:47:26the melody pond is River Song revelation

0:47:29and good man goes to war although i do

0:47:31have to shout out the first like 10

0:47:33minutes of good man goes to war because

0:47:34the brewery and everything was very very

0:47:37well-crafted and i will say i liked up

0:47:41on as the season as a whole I found when

0:47:44I was because I after i finished

0:47:46watching the finale i went back and sort

0:47:48of went through the recap starting with

0:47:50the impossible astronaut and looking at

0:47:53this you know with the exception of a

0:47:54couple of weird ones like curse of the

0:47:56black spot I the season was remarkably

0:47:59cohesive and it felt a lot stronger than

0:48:01last season with the Pandorica was very

0:48:05cool kind of season finale everything

0:48:07comes together but I felt like there

0:48:09weren't as many clues is there were this

0:48:12season we really got we got a lot of

0:48:14interesting concepts like we got a we

0:48:17got flesh Amy the ganger Amy and we got

0:48:20a we got the sort of little independent

0:48:23episode the neil gaiman episode with the

0:48:24TARDIS we built a lot of background in

0:48:27addition to having a big a big bad story

0:48:30and and having a nice overarching plot

0:48:33and they did they did a lot of really

0:48:35really good stuff and what 12 13

0:48:38episodes right we're gonna so what you

0:48:40think would hold held together better if

0:48:42they had run them all through instead of

0:48:44splitting them into you know I actually

0:48:47kind of like the break because I mean if

0:48:50you if you went from directly from a

0:48:52good man goes to war and the melody pond

0:48:54revelation straight into the Mel's

0:48:57scenario I kind of feel like we would

0:49:01get it from the gecko be like wait a

0:49:04second there's a new girl here and we

0:49:07just had you know I i don't know i feel

0:49:09i actually liked the like the space and

0:49:12like the ramp up to two finales okay um

0:49:17Glenn about you

0:49:18I think I'm gonna go with you I'll do it

0:49:20I'll do 24 just because I'm

0:49:22verse i think the doctor's wife i liked

0:49:25as a call back to the old doctor who

0:49:26cereals that it had such a feeling of

0:49:29like the Tom Baker era but updated with

0:49:31like good computer graphics a better

0:49:33plot snap your script but it was fun and

0:49:36kind of chasing around the corner or

0:49:37sway because they're chasing around

0:49:39corners but I i find them

0:49:40I thought it was was a very strong

0:49:42episode in preserving mythology and just

0:49:44being hilarious and interesting and and

0:49:47someone thought provoking but the girl

0:49:49who waited as because the most

0:49:51emblematic was my favorite of the new

0:49:53kind of doctor who aesthetic which is

0:49:55more intellectual and poses problems

0:49:56that are actually harder and resolvable

0:49:58and terrible things happened sort of the

0:50:01hard sci-fi way things are unresolvable

0:50:03someone has to die in a terrible way

0:50:05they never even exist

0:50:06it's the worst units the worse than

0:50:08death scenario modern sci-fi is you've

0:50:10been erased from history or existence as

0:50:12opposed to just been killed

0:50:13there's no afterlife there's no other

0:50:16kind of experience for your gone except

0:50:17in memory i think those two are the best

0:50:19i actually thought this season i would

0:50:21say was bugging me because there are

0:50:23several episodes in like it like the

0:50:24flash episodes at all the pirate episode

0:50:26i thought was terrible god complex was

0:50:29sort of fun but I thought it was thin i

0:50:31did not like night terrors so I thought

0:50:32there's some very strong episodes and I

0:50:35thought they were so very weak ones that

0:50:36didn't even rise to my mind to like the

0:50:38pirate one being like just enjoyable to

0:50:40watch some of the most enjoyable

0:50:42episodes were also some of the best ones

0:50:44that were just sort of rollicking and

0:50:45like the closing closing time but but i

0:50:49think you know and so not a strong

0:50:50season i would think is a has-been felt

0:50:52but but very strong episodes in the

0:50:54season

0:50:55alright yeah overall I i think i have to

0:51:00decide with the let's kill hitler with a

0:51:02good man goes to war being a close

0:51:04second

0:51:05I like that to partner in general i

0:51:07agree with Ren said about the if you

0:51:09didn't have that break there i think it

0:51:10would lose some of its impact you know

0:51:12it's just like our can't wait to see

0:51:13what happens next week but the fact that

0:51:14we had to wait you know a few months to

0:51:16figure out what happened i think it

0:51:18intensified it

0:51:19overall I think the second half of the

0:51:22season was a lot better than the first

0:51:24half and maybe that's just I know that

0:51:26they rearranged some stuff and maybe

0:51:27that's just you know how about the chips

0:51:30fell but i found myself enjoying all the

0:51:32episodes much more in the second half

0:51:33like Glenn

0:51:34I thought the pirate episode was just

0:51:36atrocious and i didn't i didn't really

0:51:38even have fun with it

0:51:40I did not like the flesh episodes really

0:51:42either but you know I guess I'm the lone

0:51:45person who like the most of the episodes

0:51:46in the second half of the season and I

0:51:48just sort of felt like I was much more

0:51:50immersed in invested in this story once

0:51:53that we hit we had that sort of

0:51:54mid-season finale and pick up and i

0:51:57think that there's just the overall

0:51:58there's a lot to like about this season

0:52:00i think you know in particular some of

0:52:03the characters really came more into

0:52:04their own Matt Smith's doctor is much

0:52:07more clearly defined i thought that i

0:52:10really liked the the progress that they

0:52:13made with Rory going from a sort of

0:52:15two-dimensional like let's kill them off

0:52:17a lot of character to to a character why

0:52:20I really liked you know when he

0:52:21especially in the beginning of good man

0:52:23goes to war I think that's you know a

0:52:24character defining moment for him

0:52:26I like that they kept a lot of the stuff

0:52:27that they develop starting at the end of

0:52:29the last season for him and and he's

0:52:32become one of my favorite characters

0:52:33because he is kind of hapless but also

0:52:35incredibly you know pure just a good

0:52:39person right and I think that that is a

0:52:42a you know he's got a parole quality to

0:52:44him in that sense and now my night feel

0:52:48like I can't really say much bad about

0:52:49any pond so maybe don't you dare idea i

0:52:53wouldn't i'm a sucker arena but yeah

0:52:57overall I i think this season had more

0:52:59strong episodes i think it had some

0:53:01lower lows in the first season but also

0:53:03much higher highs alright John what

0:53:06about you but when I'm different my

0:53:07flame retardant headset now let's write

0:53:10ok that's a place I think season six

0:53:14made me appreciate season five more

0:53:16after have 25 you said how this matt

0:53:22smith doing i think i gave a positive

0:53:23review to see some fire but watching

0:53:26season six like if you were to lay out

0:53:29the the Ark plot it's just like an

0:53:31outline form of like is we're going to

0:53:32do in the first episode we have a doctor

0:53:34died or apparently died and then we're

0:53:36going to then we're going to introduce

0:53:37this concept the flesh and then we're

0:53:39going to have the Flash Amy and we had

0:53:40the baby is going to river song and you

0:53:42know I could just lay off those points

0:53:44at that those those are reasonable bones

0:53:47for a season's arc and then what I would

0:53:50have said it was laying out like that

0:53:51it's okay those are the bones of the

0:53:53thing but what is this season about I

0:53:55would have tried to make the season I

0:53:56think that kind of trying to make the

0:53:57season a personal story about the doctor

0:54:00it's not about the universe being at

0:54:01stake Rory and Amy story pretty much was

0:54:04the previous season in that triangle

0:54:06situations that's what we're not gonna

0:54:07do you know this is this is this season

0:54:09about the doctor but then what they hung

0:54:11on those bones was a lot of a lot of

0:54:14raggedy stuff in there I actually

0:54:16dislike night terrors more than I just

0:54:19like that the pirate episode which is

0:54:20saying something

0:54:22yeah it's closed for me to honestly I

0:54:24really just like that episode 2

0:54:26yeah and and the the individual when

0:54:29they filmed pieces of the arc story when

0:54:31they filmed like the revelation about

0:54:32the flesh Amy or the doctor dying or are

0:54:36any of those things that when they

0:54:37filmed art pieces are the pieces of

0:54:39River Song those segments were good but

0:54:42they were spread too thin i would like

0:54:43to see them made more dense to make room

0:54:46in the middle for good a better for

0:54:50better episodes with you know that they

0:54:53weren't so concerned with our stuff

0:54:54right

0:54:55yeah because like every episode that

0:54:56they want to have some interesting idea

0:54:58they tried to hang with summer stuff on

0:54:59so if i had to pick a favorite I'm

0:55:01actually probably going to pick the girl

0:55:02who waited even though I dumped on that

0:55:04episode a lot at least it was trying to

0:55:06do something different with the

0:55:08characters with killing off the old Amy

0:55:10in that dilemma and that's what i want

0:55:11to see from us I know it's like you know

0:55:13spanish see fairytale cyber from a

0:55:15sci-fi show i want to see stuff like

0:55:16that it's going to be character-driven

0:55:17sci-fi then finally have an established

0:55:18character who makes care about killing

0:55:20the old Abbey do more of that don't

0:55:23weigh those episodes down with the other

0:55:24stuff and i'm looking through the the

0:55:27episode list here I don't like PDA i'm

0:55:29actually looking at the writers but

0:55:30normally take no note but i can see that

0:55:32the the episodes that Steven Moffat road

0:55:36aa-are i mean it it shows i wouldn't say

0:55:39who wrote those but like it he wrote

0:55:41like it so let's kill hitler a good man

0:55:43goes to war the opening two episodes in

0:55:45the finale and I think the level of the

0:55:47writing those episodes it shows that

0:55:49that's like a step up from the ones

0:55:51between but not just talking about i

0:55:53think other than the neil gaiman episode

0:55:55and maybe I'm a closing time which is

0:55:57going

0:55:57light and funny but I think you're right

0:56:00there's definitely a difference of the

0:56:03game episode is the only other one where

0:56:04i'd say like wow that was really solid

0:56:07in a way that some of the others like

0:56:09night terrors of the pyriform were not

0:56:10and the reason I say that makes me

0:56:12appreciate season five more is because

0:56:14season six has a like when I think back

0:56:16of it I can still see season 5 moments

0:56:19more clearly my mind season six you know

0:56:21like season five I could think about all

0:56:23i remember that season that was you know

0:56:24it just it stands out more vividly

0:56:26format and off the individual episodes

0:56:27or better or the way the structured it

0:56:29better or it's because these characters

0:56:30were new and we're introduced to Amy and

0:56:32Rory then that stands out in my mind

0:56:34more than the season is kinda like man

0:56:37it's kind of like some of the the middle

0:56:3910 seasons where he hadn't really hit

0:56:41his stride and but also hadn't passed

0:56:43onto self-parody he was just kind of

0:56:45like in his middle in area

0:56:47I'll say this about the about the last

0:56:50season about the fifth season is that I

0:56:52don't think there was any episode this

0:56:53season that was as bad as the silurian

0:56:55to partner last year the guide agree

0:56:58with that so so even the Pirates maybe

0:57:01pirates maybe maybe yeah maybe silurian

0:57:04was how yeah it was

0:57:06it's the thinnest yeah that's what bugs

0:57:07you is like the only do a limited number

0:57:09of MPs 13 episodes of season us about

0:57:11your like they would all be all be good

0:57:13and instead what you get is a couple

0:57:15episodes that feel like filler and a

0:57:17two-parter that maybe isn't really

0:57:19enough story to to carry two parts and

0:57:22it is kind of what i mean i understand

0:57:24they also have had a you know whatever

0:57:2520-percent budget cut because the BBC is

0:57:28going through hard times but it's always

0:57:30struck me that if you only have 13

0:57:33episodes a year wouldn't you think that

0:57:35they would all be really kind of

0:57:37carefully honed and crafted in a way

0:57:40that is not apparent that they are your

0:57:44budget cuts an opportunity though

0:57:46because especially on a sci-fi show you

0:57:47get the budget cut then you know you can

0:57:50shoot around the scope of of it like

0:57:52think about was that the one midnight

0:57:53when they were like the whole thing was

0:57:55shot in a little transport on that

0:57:56planet have that was a day and which is

0:57:58the greatest episode of the girl who

0:58:00waited is a good example of that where

0:58:01that's it that's a that's a cheap

0:58:03episode in many ways and yet looks like

0:58:06looks great because it's cheap and they

0:58:09got creative about everything is you if

0:58:10you don't have a

0:58:11that fancy stuff and you forced to come

0:58:12up with a good premise in a good story

0:58:14and like you know that's an opportunity

0:58:15when we touched upon this in the in

0:58:17other places to you know we talked about

0:58:19yeah I had some other podcast things

0:58:20like star wars were like you know there

0:58:22are constraints breed creativity right

0:58:24you guys think harder to get around the

0:58:26problems that you're going to have

0:58:27because you don't have any money and

0:58:28things like writing which are you know

0:58:30arguably a fixed cost you know that's

0:58:33that's where you should be focusing well

0:58:35so then again I you know why why is it

0:58:38that in 13 episodes of finely crafted

0:58:40British entertainment you have two three

0:58:42four episodes that feel like kind of you

0:58:45know an essential and and almost filler

0:58:49ii8 I still don't understand it well if

0:58:51the writers tail to mark the russell

0:58:54davies book I think that reveals a

0:58:56little bit of the pressure I mean he was

0:58:58doing he was doing show running for two

0:58:59majors here too much going on but I

0:59:01think there's this sort of the

0:59:02constraint of how they put the show

0:59:04together they try to hold together too

0:59:06much and they don't have the resources

0:59:07to both deliver the kind of pantomime

0:59:11entertainment that this is supposed to

0:59:12be with the campus but also now it's

0:59:15expected to have great special effects

0:59:16like we expect the cgi to look movie

0:59:19quality and not look cheesy and cheap i

0:59:22think all those constraints together I

0:59:23don't think they can meet the cast for

0:59:26you know we like the best of the best

0:59:27i'm not sure I'm not sure I agree about

0:59:29that from the writing perspective Bowen

0:59:31and this is something that you know

0:59:32Russell Russell Davis doesn't didn't do

0:59:34it like a sexy mama does Russell Davis

0:59:36rewrote every episode and see the muscle

0:59:39group actually doesn't and and that's

0:59:41something interesting because as much as

0:59:43I can complain about some of what

0:59:45Russell Davis did and some of the

0:59:46episodes that he rewrote Steven Moffat

0:59:49you know knowing that he doesn't rewrite

0:59:51other writers stuff is in some ways I

0:59:55think an explanation why the seasons are

0:59:57less well are more up

0:59:57less well are more up

1:00:00the even and that there are more kind of

1:00:02the of these clunker episodes i think

1:00:04there's a nice thing about that risk

1:00:06which is you you may get some episodes

1:00:08that have a voice that is different and

1:00:09that's good and I think there are a few

1:00:12of those examples in his era but you

1:00:14also run the risk of having stuff that

1:00:17sort of dips below the quality line and

1:00:20and you know I keep thinking why don't

1:00:22you know man maybe they do this but why

1:00:24don't they order several more scripts

1:00:26then they're going to use and then

1:00:28choose the ones that are the best but

1:00:30these may be the best maybe they do

1:00:33no possible i don't know you know I

1:00:37think they're trying to also they try

1:00:39and tackle some interesting topics and

1:00:41sometimes those succeed wildly and

1:00:44sometimes they fall on their face and

1:00:45I'd rather I I don't know I'd rather

1:00:48that they have the freedom to experiment

1:00:51boldly and you know do an episode where

1:00:54there are pirates onna granted and a

1:00:58ship crashing into a fixed time point

1:01:00and you know that's all cool on paper

1:01:02and it didn't turn out to be the best

1:01:04episode but it was still meet that they

1:01:06took the they took the chance and it's

1:01:09better than would you rather have that

1:01:11and then have a flop or would you rather

1:01:12have a doctor who episode that you've

1:01:15seen you know three or four years ago

1:01:17that follows the same basic plot

1:01:19conventions and is boring but is ok

1:01:22written

1:01:23ok so to Scott I need you I need you to

1:01:25chime in here we got we got diverted oh

1:01:27and we care about your room Union ah I

1:01:32don't really care too much as much as it

1:01:33pains me to let my nemesis talk who I

1:01:36did I did I just going to skip over me

1:01:38who cares about my people I love you

1:01:40that's nice so i will echo the sentiment

1:01:43especially well how much do I owe you

1:01:47Mia I will echo the sentiments of

1:01:50several other patents that choose let's

1:01:53kill hitler as my favorite episode of

1:01:55this season

1:01:56alright i'm changing my vote meal game

1:01:57and then there you go no let's kill

1:01:59hitler is that clear

1:02:01it was good it was where he it was a

1:02:03head Nazis in a time-travel I guess

1:02:06they'll have time traveling them but

1:02:08oh yeah we Scott Nazis up you know

1:02:11hey there's something to be said they

1:02:12have nice uniforms motorcycles

1:02:14motorcycles out again I know

1:02:17shape-shifting are robots which is of

1:02:19course important plot point as we find

1:02:21out later yes even though that angered

1:02:24me uh at least favorite once again i

1:02:26will mention pirates on a spaceship i

1:02:30will say i was glad at the this finale

1:02:32that the Pirates in the spaceship did

1:02:35not somehow save a doctor i would

1:02:37imagine that bad happened about like

1:02:40that would have been pretty bad i was

1:02:42waiting for it as I go those pirates are

1:02:44going to show up again

1:02:45well we had a moment there right where

1:02:47is like all of those people have come

1:02:49and chimed in and they want to help save

1:02:51you and I'm like oh god we're gonna see

1:03:16no go right and yea Wow look for in this

1:03:20episode we're headed right let's not do

1:03:22that

1:03:22well no I've seen it so it's and its

1:03:25last of the time lords and the end of

1:03:27time part 2

1:03:29yeah and doomsday a you know right

1:03:32that's what I was thinking when was

1:03:34saying would you rather have an episode

1:03:35where these doctor who plots that are

1:03:37recycled and I'm thinking well that's

1:03:38almost every other episode of yeah it's

1:03:42been a long time has been out it's hard

1:03:45to break out of its formulate it says it

1:03:47has this this the weight of its own plot

1:03:52and fan expectations and rapid you

1:03:54expect the doctor to do certain things

1:03:56so they have to write that show and

1:03:58sometimes get crappy episodes so now

1:04:00that the now comes the waiting because

1:04:02there will be a Christmas special that I

1:04:04believe they're shooting right now but

1:04:06that won't be that where your business
