    S12.E01: Spyfall (1)

    in Doctor Who

    I've researched the history of Who, but I don't know about the tissue compression thing

    I totally loved 13's response of "I've had an upgrade" to Frye's confusion about who was the Doctor and then his response after being corrected by his man that he's read the Doctor's files and he's always been a man

    in Doctor Who

    · Edited by DanaK

    Holy damn, I loved this! It was exciting, fun, spooky. What a great season opener. I don't really think I was bored with anything. Can't wait for Episode 2 on Sunday

    Loved 13's totally inability (or disdain) to being undercover. Her attempt at card playing was hilarious

    Was that 13's theme when they showed up in the tuxes and during the chase? It totally started with a spy-y vibe didn't it?

    I knew the spoilers about the Master returning, but I totally figured the Master wouldn't reveal himself until near the end of the season. Totally got me on that show. And the Doctor being so shook up at his reveal was pretty great

    I watched this live and had to put up with the many BBC America commercials. That was the real downer

    I hate the time difference. I had to wait over 7 hours past the BBC showing to see this and stay off social media to avoid spoilers and plot details. I'm going to be running all over my social media tonight to see the responses. And I guess I'll have to do it for the next 9 episodes.

    I get to see this again and the 2nd episode on Sunday in a local movie theater as part of Fathom Events, without commercials and with the 2nd episode ending just after the UK sees it. It should be lots of fun

    Hmm, unless it’s a glitch, it looks like Amazon US is no longer making Doctor Who available free to Prime members. I had figured they would wait to do that until Spring when HBO Max goes live. I was on Series 6 and still need to finish Matt Smith’s era to finish nuWho. It’s a good thing I recorded the specials on my Tivo during the marathon. I guess there’s still the DVDs via Netflix

     

    Program reminder: The Series 12 premiere starts in a little while at 1:55pm today in the UK on the BBC. In the US, BBC America will start the show at 8pm ET and PT/7pm CT and MT and repeat it many times. I’m not sure about other countries

    For those who watched it on FX, how long did it actually last? I have 3 hrs and about 6 minutes recorded and it cut off for me around the time of Scrooge and Jacob Marley in the cemetery. About how much more was left? It didn't seem to get repeated either, so I'm left hoping it gets streamed on Hulu or just not watching it

    Edit: Looks like it is on Hulu, so never mind

    Yeah, and episodes will air tomorrow . . . except for “Dalek,” “The Long Game” and “Father’s Day.” Also, some stuff has been cut . . . like the music number where Rose has a Christmas party with Jackie and Mickey, and Ten picks out his outfit.

    Reminder: “The Macra Terror” airs tomorrow night, followed by “Shada.”

    Shada, really? All my listings will say is “The Lost Episode”. Thanks for saying so

    BBC America seems to always run the season marathons out of order for some strange  reason, at least the times I’ve caught them. It’s weird and annoying. I think if you have patience to follow the marathon to the end, you can probably catch all the episodes

    S06.E09: Crisis On Infinite Earths Part Three

    in The Flash

    As I’ve said, I overall enjoyed this so far though it does feel a bit rushed and some people aren’t used well at times. One of the things that really bugs me is Tom Cavanaugh as Pariah. All he mostly seems to do is awkwardly stand around and woodenly pronounce woe is you soundbites. Maybe he comes off better in the  comics, but he’s not working too well for me here. I’ve liked Tom’s previous Harry personas in previous seasons, but not his pre-Pariah and Pariah personas this season

    Take with a grain of salt for now but here’s the supposed information for Episode 3 according to Digiguide:

    Airing: Jan 12 at 7:10pm on the BBC

    Title: Orphan 55

    Synopsis:

    Having decided that everyone could do with a holiday, the Doctor takes Graham, Yasmin, Ryan to a luxury resort for a spot of rest and relaxation. However, they discover the place where they are having a break is hiding a number of deadly secrets. What are the ferocious monsters that are attacking Tranquillity Spa? Guest starring Laura Fraser and James Buckley, alongside Jodie Whittaker as the 13th incarnation of the Time Lord, and Bradley Walsh, Mandip Gill and Tosin Cole as her trusty travelling companions.

    Written by Ed Hime

    Directed by Lee Haven Jones

     

    In a Radio Times video, Jodie, Tosin and Mandip answer fan questions. Lots of fun though I had trouble understanding what they said at times

     

     

     

    Bradley Walsh’s CV suggests that he’s staying thru Series 13 as Graham, but it’s hard to say for certain at this early point whether it means the whole season. It would be surprising given how busy Walsh is
