DanaK May 31 Author Share May 31 (edited) What the hell just happened!?! I was aware of various spoilers due to a clearly accurate leaker, like Jodie showing up and that Ncuti was probably going to regenerate, but I was floored by Billie showing up at the end because I thought the leaker only said the new Doctor was female and known but didn’t give a name and then the fans ran with Billie. Yeah, it’s going to take some time to process all of that. Loved Jodie Whittaker showing up as the 13th Doctor. I was not actually expecting Billie as the new Doctor, though she wasn’t credited as such in the credits That was fun and nuts, yet sad that Ncuti left after only 2 seasons. It was bonkers. I have to give it a full 10 (ETA: Rethought it and I’ll give it a 9 due to some slow spots and Susan being left a dangling plotline).

j5cochran June 1 Share June 1 Two things: When the Doctor, Belinda, Poppy, and Ruby finally got back to the TARDIS, with Poppy in the crib, Belinda took off Poppy's jacket. Then she and the Doctor started to talk about traveling, while folding the jacket. It kept get smaller and smaller as they passed it back and forth. On the third pass (or so), I realized that something bad was about to happen with Poppy. Nice bit of foreshadowing with that business! There was a point when the Rani and Mrs. Flood were together, and someone said something about the two Ranis, and they replied "that's goodnight from us" (or something like that. I need to rewatch but it's too late tonight.). Does anyone besides me remember the Two Ronnies? They were a comedy duo with a British television series from the 1970s. And when they ended each episode, they said "it's goodnight from me... and it's goodnight from him." 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/153717-s02e08-bbcd-the-reality-war/#findComment-8675821

Seems weird that she isn't credited with "and introducing Billie Piper as the doctor". So maybe this is some kind of weird fakeout? Maybe it's Rose and she got switched in for some reason?

Lantern7 June 1 Share June 1 (edited) The ending. It's a lot to absorb. I'd rather Ncuti get a third season. Al the other Doctors from Tennant forward got three seasons. I'm hoping he felt that was enough for him, because now we have the Doctor looking like an older version of what many fans figured was RTD's vision of the Doctor's OTP. And that's a little off-putting. Rest of the episode was fun, weird bits and all. Only thing missing? "Hey! Omega! Remember me? I Aikido-flipped you a bunch of times, then you got blown up by my old recorder!!” No, I haven’t seen Arc of Infinity. The Doctor gets saved by deus ex whatever “hotel” is in Latin. The Fifteen Era team meets up for one last ride. Another old foe is CGIed the heck out, then winds up defeated. And then we get way too much time seeing Ruby getting attached to Polly the Time Baby. BTW, she wasn’t CGI, was she? She was just too cute to be real. Jodie! I never had a problem with her or the Chibnell run. I guess RTD brought her in as an apology of sorts to the fans. I dug her perkiness, and her Doctor played well with Ncuti’s. At least Mrs. Flood is still out there. The main Rani kinda went out like a punk . . . which is a bit sad because she made one helluva impression before Omega ate her. There’s probably more I could talk about, but it’s late and the thread page is a bit glitchy. It keeps switching between the top and the posting box. Does that make sense? I’m hoping Ncuti comes back. I think he deserves better. Edited June 1 by Lantern7 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/153717-s02e08-bbcd-the-reality-war/#findComment-8675844

John Potts June 1 Share June 1 Well that was... definitely an RTD finale. Overlong, overblown and with rather too much time of people telling each other how important they are to each other rather than actually saving the world/Universe/Reality (it would have definitely benefited from being standard length, IMO). Omega was a massive disappointment (he turns up just to eat the Rani?) - I get that he had a lot less time than he did in The Three Doctors, but he did at least seem to be an actual antagonist with his own plans rather than just a giant skeleton that the PCs just have to pull a magic sword to kill (or at least banish). There were good points (loved that it was Ruby got to defeat Whathisname) and I did like seeing Jodie again (however briefly), but sometimes I wish RTD would be forced to stick to a 45 minute Finale (well, 90 over the two episodes). 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/153717-s02e08-bbcd-the-reality-war/#findComment-8675860

tv-talk June 1 Share June 1 Oh is the show cancelled or at least in limbo? I did not know that. So there arent actually any plans for filming eps with Piper as the Doctor and there is a chance that was just some crappy RTD thing we get before the whole series is entirely rebooted years from now (if ever)? Tbh I wouldnt mind one bit if that was the case. This finale was everything 'wrong' with Doctor Who at thise point. How many people did he hug? How many times did he tear up? How many people did he tell he loved? And he is the doting father to a baby with Belinda who he clearly loves while also being a gay man who loves that other guy who died last season? WTH is all this lol? They really do need a reboot to get away from all the emo stuff and get back to being more of Who the Doctor has generally been for so many decades. I loved when the Rani was saying that to the Doctor the humans were insects to him and really just a fetish of some sort. Of course not that she was entirely correct, but what the character is actually supposed to be IS more like what the Rani described. Lo and behold he DID want to see Omega and was intrigued with returning the Time Lords. That could have been a great dynamic with the Doctor completely torn about what to do...but instead was quickly shelved in favor of him basically just being an overemotional human who tends to cry a lot. Time for a reboot says me. There has been so much talk over the recent years about the series being "too woke" and having a woman and then black man as the Doctor was just bowing to wokeness blah blah blah. I hate all that, but I also dont enjoy much what the series has become with so many tropes pushed almost in response to whatever bros and incels are saying online. Well if the series showrunners want to continue in the vein of pushing against the bro-verse...let's get a harder Doctor who is often battling directly against obvious fascism and isnt prone to lots of tears and hugging but rather determinedly doing what needs to be done. While being quirky as hell along the way of course. Just my two cents! 4 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/153717-s02e08-bbcd-the-reality-war/#findComment-8676052

Davies has said they are waiting for Disney to decide whether it reups or not and Disney was waiting to do that until after the season was broadcast. That wait might be what made Ncuti decide to leave. Once the BBC/Bad Wolf know what Disney has decided, they can then go ahead and work to make more episodes/specials with either a new streamer or other channels/networks internationally.

madhacker June 1 Share June 1 (edited) Ok I've had roughly 24 hours to process the ending and while I really like Billie if she's the new Doctor she's got her work cut out for her. She'll have to convince us that while she looks like Rose Tyler, she's nothing like her. Can she do that? Absolutely. To me, the challenge is going to be the writers because if they have her do or say anything that even slightly seems like Rose it's game over. Also, her look must be something completely opposite of what Rose would wear (like by the end of the episode she looks kinda like Katheryn Hahn at the end of the first episode of Agatha all along, hair up and something kinda formal looking) Part of me kinda wishes that Billie was only seen on the set as a diversion, and the new Doctor was secretly filmed in another location as a complete surprise.

I think there's a reason the end credits only said 'Introducing Billie Piper', and not 'as The Doctor'. Maybe what we're seeing isn't The Doctor at all, but a personification of the Vortex, or perhaps The Moment, or another personification of the TARDIS. Or maybe The Doctor and the Vortex/ or Moment/ or TARDIS mixed up together and she will be both (I'm imagining something like Steve Martin in All of Me :)) for the specials and then generate or bi-generate into the new Doctor if/when the series is renewed.

This has been one of my favorite seasons in ages, all of the episodes were winners and the overarching plot mostly worked, although I am annoyed that we still don't know what up with Susan. I am also curious if its going to matter that the world is just a bit different now, especially for Belinda, but I still liker this ending. Especially after last season's finale, which was utterly stupid. I am sad to see Archie's The Rani eaten up, but Mrs. Flood is still around so its not going to be the last we see of the Rani at least. Omega was underwhelming, I was hoping for a Time Lord, but I still liked the finale and would be happy to see him again in a different form. I love that as soon as UNIT realized that they were in a fake world, before anything else, they were horrified by what they were wearing and immediately went to change. Loved seeing Anita and the Time Hotel again, and am very intrigued by who "they" are at the Hotel. Like the Doctor, I'm putting a pin in that. I liked seeing Jodi's Doctor again, I miss her madcap perky energy. I will miss Gatwa's Doctor, even if he took the emotional stuff too far sometimes. Did we really need to see him cry in almost every single episode? Even with that though, he shined this season and I wish he could have stayed longer. Billie? What now? I am guessing she is going to be a place holder for a special until we get a new official Doctor, but what? 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/153717-s02e08-bbcd-the-reality-war/#findComment-8678468
