At the start of the screening of the new episode in cinemas, Millie Gibson popped up saying all mysteries will be resolved. That definitely wasn't. I have to assume that she's being set up as a future villain or the Mary Poppins look at the end suggests she's Missy or it was just a throwaway thing from RTD which means nothing.
I've read that article and I don't see anything that could be considered hilarious. Imagine spending 3 or 4 years at University studying journalism or media studies to end up spending 5 minutes of a Saturday trawling the cesspit of xitter to cobble together 250 words of dross based on the ramblings of vacuous attention seekers.
And yet it was by far the episode I enjoyed the most since Church on Ruby Road. The script has some glaring issues for sure, some of which might be fixed in the next season (I don’t believe in that too much though), but at least it mostly felt like I was watching Doctor Who for once.
I think the running around, good music and pacing, some interesting character moments and great visual effects did it for me. Sutekh’s design and vibe are fantastic and I thought the scene where Ruby meets her mom itself worked really well.
If the rest of the season was more like this episode, I would have enjoyed it a whole lot more.
its so odd that people struggle to understand the downfall of gods because they spend time obsessing so much over one ordinary person because they can't comprehend it. like vanity of the all powerful is not even a new concept.
