I just saw that the Brig was in it. Nicholas Courtney was even credited. It was stock footage. Is this true Zarius or is it just a rumour. I also heard Kate was back. Really hoping Ingrid isn't with her as this sounds like a train wreck.

Really hoping Ingrid isn't with her as this sounds like a train wreck. Ingrid's character Osgood was mentioned by name by Kate, she called her after Serpent guy tried to blow her up, but Kate's the only one that turns up. Courtney's voice was sampled for a scene in which he's heard talking on the phone out-of-shot, he's identified as a fresh new corporal, as Serpent guy was travelling through UNIT's history picking off important figures in it's development so he could take over and shut it down at the precise time the Sontarans were preparing their attack fleet. For some reason, he didn't pick off the Brig while he was there, allowing Kate to be born and pretty much meddle in his plans. ...So yeah, somebody didn't think this through. |

She's very convincing This must also be the joy Colin Baker was talking about. Anger was always one of the things she was worst at. I remember her speech about her being a mountain or some such bullshit in that Cyberman one where her idea of anger and menace was just to hunch over a bit and pull a face like that. She is quite possibly the worst genre lead I've ever seen. Can anyone, never mind DW, think of any genre series with as bad a lead as Jodie? This is probably the only good bit of new DW fiction I've seen this year. Funny thing is this is where I first learned the lyrics to Fairy Tale of New York LOL. Before this I couldn't even attempt to figure out what Shane McGowan was saying after "You're an old slut." |

 Forgot about this. Explains it all. This was before her well I guess I'll have to say performance as the Doctor for lack of a better word. Isn't it her "moral duty" to entertain the masses and give a good performance? Most people watching couldn't care less about your political views. |

Jesus Christ I just finished that.
That was honestly one of the worst pieces of trash I have ever watched in my life.
Jodie's performance was so toe curlingly awful I was laughing at her. The bits where she was being tortured where the worst. I didn't even know she was meant to be being tortured LOL. She has taken the crown from Jon Pertwee for worst pain acting of all time. At least Pertwee as laughable as it was, I could tell he was meant to be in pain. She also pulled some ridiculous expressions that went beyond even Arnold Rimmer. This was the first Prince Blackadder level of silly faces!
Kate Stewart meanwhile did bugger all. There was literally no need for her to show up. At least Osgood wasn't in it. I guess Ingrid must have seen the full script this time and thought F.UCK NO! Either way I'm glad Ingrid dodged this turkey. Onwards and upwards gorgeous.
All the other performances meanwhile were awful. Yaz was a plank. John Bishop was ineligible, the rest got nothing to do. There was also more painful shilling for Yaz from the other characters, and as far as I could see, NONE of the plots were wrapped up.
Granted I haven't been watching all of it, but it wasn't explained who or what those monsters were, the Doctors previous lives, what the house was, who the dogs were, or even who the Irish babe and her boyfriend were. Meanwhile after 6 episodes the flux was beaten by reversing the flow and sucking it through the villain who looked like Darkseid. No mention of how it has devastated the universe either.
Worst of all perhaps was the fact that the Daleks and the Cybermen were horribly undermined. Billions of them wiped out in a second after falling for an obvious trap.
Still at least the Daleks are big this New Year special.
Really I don't see how anyone can defend this steaming pile of shit. Again so, so, so, so glad that Ingrid Oliver wasn't in it, as I honestly think this episode was career ending, that's how bad it is.

Eve of the Daleks sounds a bit like Groundhog day. Interesting premise, but I don't think these writer can make it work. Also, this is the third Dalek festive special in a row. They need to give those bronze ones a rest and bring back the creame and gold Daleks from the 80s.

I, and the rest of the universe, had no idea what in the universe was going on but...squee...3 Jodies at once!!!!
At least the episode gave Nick Briggs the chance to anually sleep-walk his way through a dalek voiceover for 60 seconds.

This tweet from Mr TARDIS I think shows up how much of a shill he is and how shit this latest episode is.
'The Vanquishers' felt like Chibnall's answer to RTD's 'Journey's End'.
Convoluted, too big for its own good and the need for quick fixes...but when it lands, it lands. I really liked it, even though I get the sense that it didn't all come together.
At this stage I honestly think that Chris Chibnall could get Mr Tardis to lick his arse. Seriously. I think if he phoned up Mr Tardis and asked him "can you lick my bum" Shilbee would kiss his wife goodbye, get a taxi or a plane and go down to Cardiff and get on his knees. Chibnall would then pull his pants down, make sure he'd had a Vindaloo mixed with laxatives and six pints the night before. He'd also fart in Mr Tardis' face first to really push him, but Shilbee would not only stick his tongue right up Chibnalls arsehole, afterwards he'd say "CAN I DO IT AGAIN PLEASE!" If he thought it would get him a job as third coat hanger in the BBC's office. (Which is all he'd be good for.)
To be fair that still wouldn't be as awful as smearing someone as a child molester to keep in with the Beeb like he did.
I also love the way Shilbee lists in his bio on twitter. (3rd A.D, Asst Floor Manager) Clearly he hopes that might make it sound like he's a professional, but to me it just shows how despite all his arse licking he hasn't gotten anywhere. At this point he might as well list Bronze Swimming Certificate and Silver Swimming Certificate in his bio.

I saw a few seconds of it. I had turned the TV off after the Women's FA Cup final on BBC One and accidentally left it on the channel. I put the TV on again when it was dinner time and was met with ten seconds of complete rubbish. Thankfully Jodie wasn't on screen.

So, are the Sontarans, Daleks and Cybermen all dead now?
Is the universe still destroyed?
Why did people just return to normal on Earth without any sign of the desimation from the Sontarans?
Why would time kill the ONLY people helping it to escape. Yes, they failed, but what was stopping them from simply making another flux to finish the job?
What exactly was the Grand Serpants plan? What the f*ck was he doing?
None of it made a lick of sense.

Yep that was a story, a Sontaran betrayed the rest of its kind in exchange for a chocolate recipe. |

From Gallifrey Base:  Am I correct in assuming that this episode is MORE divisive than The Timeless Children? I haven't seen either, nor any of the Whittaker/Chibnall era, but it's looking like this is the most reviled episode of this era. What happened? Even GB hate it! |
