Doctor Who IV - Everything Whovian - Would you like a jelly baby?

[thwhtGuardian]

I want it to be a lot better than it is turning out right now. Three episodes in and I'm just wondering, "Why am I bothering with this claptrap?"

It's really disappointing, there are elements that are really good...but instead of focusing on them and developing proper stories there's just all this jumping around.

I mean, it's possible to tell a good story in a non-linear way... but what we've gotten isn't even close to Rashomon.

I came to that conclusion after the first episode. All the times winery, wibbledy wobbledy stuff makes my head hurt.

I think there's plans for one or two specials before the Jodie finale. Kind of like Tennant's last year.

Yes, there will be 3 specials, first on New Year’s Day and the last one in autumn, as part of BBC's celebrations of 100 anniversary.

It (season 13) will be followed by three Specials the first of which will transmit on New Year’s Day 2022, with another later in spring 2022. Jodie’s final feature-length Special, where the Thirteenth Doctor will regenerate, will transmit in autumn 2022 as part of the BBC’s Centenary celebrations.

It's not quite as easy to see as the Sontarans, but it looks like there's been some alterations to the general Weeping Angels look as well. Different actors maybe?

Looks like we're getting yet another surprise returning guest star next episode.

What is Division? Is that the crystal people? I think I lost the story.
Weeping Angel Doctor isn't as clever as they think. Just amplifies my feeling that this Doctor is not nearly as formidable as the previous ones.

I thought they were time lord CIA.

Knew I was lost. Are we back to the "Child" gobbledygook gook?

more or less.

Not even that. Because everyone knows about the CIA. The Division is so secret it is basically off the books.

We never left it lol.

I feel like Doctor Who series 13 has a pattern. The odd number episodes are more confusing than the even number ones.

So expect another mindfuck next week .

Episode three had the lowest UK consolidated viewing figures yet. Even lower than Capaldi's third to last episode. I didn't expect that because the appreciation for the second was up, so I thought it had found it's level.

The over nights for the fourth were even lower than the third, so I'd reason that low mark is going to be broken again.

No one else in the house wants to watch it anymore, so I might have to view the last two episodes by myself.*

*By last two, I mean 3 & 4

They're not confusing or mindfucks though...they're just poorly written.

Speaking of confusing (but also incredibly awesome) I will just leave this here…
