I watched Doctor Who!! Like, live! :O It was fun, Dan is ♥, Yaz needs Clara to teach her how to force the Doctor to communicte and the Irish Lady was fab. (I love Aisling Bea, so I was thrilled when I saw that she was going to be in this one, and she didn't disappoint - quite the opposite!)

Oh gosh, when Dan volunteered to sacrifice himself against the Dalek so Yaz and Thirteen could work out what was going on-! He's amazing! Irish Lady aka Sarah aka Aisling Bea was GREAT. Honestly, I'm kind of sad Sarah isn't going to be a companion because she did a lot of the "no, I'm not going to just trust you and be nice" that has been missing from the series ever since Chibnall took over. Unless she does a Donna and comes back, which would be AWESOME. And poor Yaz. I feel terrible for her. Even Dan's well meaning interference isn't going to fix this. :/

MY favourite moment was him grabbing an iron and a ski to defend themselves against the Dalek. Just fabulous! Here's to John Bishop!

YES PLEASE THANK YOU. All those things, she was brilliant at telling the Doctor where to go off. (I love Aisling Bea anyway, so was thrilled that her part was as awesome as she deserved.)
And poor Yaz. I feel terrible for her. Even Dan's well meaning interference isn't going to fix this. :/
I was talking to Owls on Discord as we were watching, and wrote "3.. 2.. 1... 'curse of the time lords" because NO WAY is Thirteen getting into a relationship. No idea how it's going to get resolved.

omg I am now imagining Mel & Thirteen. Mostly due to poor Peri never managing to get Six to do ANYTHING, and Mel has him on an exercise bike drinking carrot juice! *g*

I missed that, but this is one of the few episodes from Chibnall's run that I want to rewatch so I'm looking forward to it! Bishop has brought some much needed energy and comic timing and it really works.

You can tell that defiance has been lacking because Thirteen was so taken aback that Sarah didn't IMMEDIATELY obey her and had her own ideas about what to do! The Doctor actually had to WORK to convince Sarah and it took a good few tries before she finally got through.
(I love Aisling Bea anyway, so was thrilled that her part was as awesome as she deserved.)
She was amazing. I would love it if she came back.

She is absolutely not getting into a relationship and I feel for all these shippers on my social feed who are getting so excited about their ship sailing.
Although any mention of "the curse of the Time Lords" makes me think of this hilarious fanart XD

It was SO GOOD to see Irish actors playing Irish characters and not Stage Irish or pretendy Americans or having an English person put on a dodgy Irish accent for the face time calls. And also being willing to challenge/call out the fact that the dude hung onto his exes' shit and only showed up the one day he knew Jeff wouldn't be working EVERY YEAR??? Thank you Chibnall for being the anti-Andrew Lincoln in Love Actually.
I spent the entire day today interspersing housework with the entirety of Flux and the New Years' Special and I liked the dynamic with the Fam but I really love Bishop's Scouse teasing and even his readiness to put the others ahead of himself while also asking what the hell is going on??? Yaz definitely lets Thirteen away with way too much, she's giving me Martha pining for oblivious Ten vibes, and that will not end well, I think.
JORTS! I love Jorts, you should watch youtuber Mark Narrations reading this one (I love youtubers reacting to Reddit stories) this guy is a professional and corpses many times in the reading of it. I am not following Jorts and Jean on Twitter.

I suspect there's a lot of fun details to catch on rewatch. Enjoy!

Better late than never. Here's to difficult ppl!

It's unlikely, but we can hope.

At least it's canon that Yaz has feelings, which I guess is something.

Omg I had forgotten that one. Such perfection. (I always disliked the 'curse of the Time Lords' - it's only a curse if you fall in love with someone from a different species. Which Time Lords, as a rule, did not, since they liked to stay at home thankyouverymuch.)

I did NOT catch Pauline at all until the internet pointed it out.

So much. It all felt like it could have been straight out of Derry Girls, the Irish vibe was strong.
And also being willing to challenge/call out the fact that the dude hung onto his exes' shit and only showed up the one day he knew Jeff wouldn't be working EVERY YEAR???
Yes, it was very nicely done. The whole 'Oh god are you a serial killer??' - because well, that was definitely an option.
Thank you Chibnall for being the anti-Andrew Lincoln in Love Actually.
I have never seen Love Actually, but am happy to give Chibnall points.

Oh wow, your brain must be goo!

Dan is delightful, and John Bishop is really good.

Yeah, it'll all end in tears. Not that Thirteen is hung up on someone else, she's just... Thirteen.

Sounds fab, might look it up. :)

They are awesome and very pro-Union!

My brain is very much goo, but I get why the Old Who would do 4-5 episodes to cover a single story, and I think more Flux/Time Lord Victorious type series could work really well. It is a shame we had such a long wait to get to this series but I'm glad we have more adventures with Thirteen coming. But yes, she's very Thirteen, trying to figure herself out while also trying to figure everything else out... I kind of get an aro vibe from her compared to Ten, Eleven and Twelve who all give me allo-ace vibes. *shrugs* Thirteen definitely does not know how to deal with Yaz's crush. But I love that Dan just straight up told her so she had no more plausible deniability. But those shippers will definitely be howling like the TenRose shippers.
Pauline McLynn: you either spot her instantly or spend ages wondering how you know that person XD

Ahhh, that does make more sense! :D

Flux might have tried to cram TOO many things into one (but rather that than the alternative *g*). I love the Classic Who format, so I'm there for multi-episode stories.
It is a shame we had such a long wait to get to this series but I'm glad we have more adventures with Thirteen coming.
Two more Specials I think?
But yes, she's very Thirteen, trying to figure herself out while also trying to figure everything else out... I kind of get an aro vibe from her compared to Ten, Eleven and Twelve who all give me allo-ace vibes. *shrugs*
Oh yes, she's very... not into ANY of it. Ten & Eleven otoh - well, Ten was very much Teh Sex (at least in looks), but I'm not sure how much he actually slept around. Eleven was the one who was happily consuming his marriage repeatedly for many centuries! ^_^ Twelve I generally see as ace.
Thirteen definitely does not know how to deal with Yaz's crush. But I love that Dan just straight up told her so she had no more plausible deniability. But those shippers will definitely be howling like the TenRose shippers.
And I don't think Thirteen can do Ten's sad angsty eyes...

omg so accurate!!
no subject
Yes, but only because the bar is SO low for Chibnall Who. -_- Can you believe we went from Bill to this? Look, a story about someone not wanting to admit they're same-sex attracted because they don't want to deal with the implications is VALID! I just wish they'd put so much more CARE into it!
But on the positive side, I should say Eve of the Daleks really benefitted from only having two new characters apart from Team TARDIS so Chibnall was able to focus on the character interaction more.
(I always disliked the 'curse of the Time Lords' - it's only a curse if you fall in love with someone from a different species. Which Time Lords, as a rule, did not, since they liked to stay at home thankyouverymuch.)
Exactly. *side-eyes Ten*
no subject
It's funny because it never once occurred to me that Yaz is worried about being gay? Like, just never occurred to me. Because it has NEVER been addressed, so I have no idea why she wouldn't admit it to herself.

Yes, smaller cast, very good!

Ten was a certified angst muffin. Let's leave him to his drama. ;)
no subject
I guess I'm reading into it but I have no idea why ELSE she wouldn't want to admit her feelings even to herself because there's been hardly any attention paid to her emotional development. I feel so bad for Mandip.

LMAO I have never heard this expression before, it's perfect. :')))
no subject
No, it makes perfect sense. I guess it just illustrates how little we know about her? Is she straight/bi/gay? Is she worried about being in love with a woman due to personal issues or cultural pressure (although her family seems fine??) or because being in love with an immortal-near-god is scary?? WHO KNOWS??
I feel so bad for Mandip.
Well, here's to hoping she'll snap up interesting roles from now on. Doctor Who is a good spring board.

I can't claim to have invented it, nor remember where I got it from, but it's stuck with me. :D
