Rogue

This seems like a filler episode, but I wouldn't be too surprised if it played out like the Haunting of Villa Diodati where it starts off as a generic runaround but then ends up leading directly into the finale. Also is that a string quartet version of Billie Eilish's Bad Guy in the background of the Brooding clip?

I hate when Doctor Who sucks up to other shows, like it's doing here with Bridgerton.

So how many episodes are left? Is it 3?

I'm mostly bored of it all now, although I must admit to a certain curiosity about the finale.

After Rogue, we only have the two-part finale, then the next one is Moffat at Christmas

Thanks Zarius.

Review for the episode says it's a bit like a 2006 episode and wouldn't be out of place for Tennant and Piper. Also 'don't think too hard' about the ending.

Also says there's a 'blink and miss revelation' that'll infuriate Gallifrey Base.

Yes, I think this episode is a real statement of intent. It seems designed to remind you of why you fell in love with this amazing, dorky, daft as hell show in the first place. Following some real off-piste stuff in recent weeks, perhaps some of the most leftfield Who has ever been, Rogue returns revival-era Doctor Who to its most comfortable, default setup, rather like the reset buttons that Russell is so fond of. A classic historical with alien baddies, rammed to the brim with familiar elements and callbacks to eras past. And a soft blink-and-you’ll-miss-it revelation which will have keyboards clacking furiously over on Gallifrey Base for years to come.

I reckon the time agent will be a future or pre Hartnell Doctor.

Is that another way of telling people not to watch it?

". It’s so evocative of series two that I think the episode could have worked just as well for Tennant and Piper without too much tweaking. Which, again, is high praise – to be clear, I consider that series to be the unassailable gold standard of Doctor Who, so anything that hits those highs is welcome."


Yes, the gold standard of Doctor Who if you take away New Earth, The Idiot's Latern, Love and Monsters, Fear Her and, well, mostly every other episode.

I won't be watching it tonight, but I'll give it a go in the morning. I'm kind of done with all this silly filler material. I want to see this "devastating" finale that RTD is hyping up so much.

Apparently he said in some magazine column that someone "mistook the episode 8 villain for Poirot", which has some people thinking Sutekh because of Suchet

When your glory days is one of the worst seasons of all time (preJodie anyhoo) you are one sad bastard, I'm sorry to say.

I dunno what Bridgerton is.

That might be the worst piece of television I've ever seen.
