I see a lot of snow and ice, don't see a lot of gold, I also see some corpses and a giant thing on the ceiling, I don't think I want this promotion, thanks. This was an interesting episode, with some interesting concepts, not my favorite episode but much better than the Slitheen episodes. It was fun seeing Simon Pegg in the show though. Bringing Adam along was definitely a poor choice, he just went and made the most terrible and stupid decisions, I guess he wanted to continue the trend set by almost all his colleagues in the previous episode.

2024-07-02 10:53:29 +0000 UTCIt's very old humor if you can call it that. Normally a joke should never be explained but seeing as sham won't remember the lead in anyway here we go. In the comments to the previous episode someone left a very long comment and kept apologizing for its length and she said never to apologize for a comment because of her job was to read comments. If you can't get there from there maybe it's not funny.

2024-06-27 22:20:04 +0000 UTCWon’t she read this? I’m so confuzzled by this, apologising for not leaving a comment by leaving a comment that’ll be read or is this 2024 new age humour that I’m just not getting

2024-06-27 22:15:08 +0000 UTCThe actress playing Cathica (the woman who saved the day) was Lynn in Black Lightning, agent Anne Weaver in Agents of S.H.E.L.D. and was in Batman Begins as a secretary. Fun fact: Christopher Eccleston has also been in superhero stuff. He played the main villain in Thor: The Dark World and was in the first season of Heroes as the invisible guy who trained Peter for a few episodes.

2024-06-27 21:22:01 +0000 UTCI have mixed feelings about the scene in Dalek of the woman staying behind. I do think the Dalek had to pause, however briefly, to engage and exterminate. Was it more than a second or two? Probably not. But a couple of seconds also made the difference between Adam making it through the door before it closed and Rose being just a hair too slow. If it had been all three of them hoofing it, maybe none of them make it through the door and the Dalek still kills at least that woman and maybe Adam too (which, granted, as you have now seen, wouldn't have been much of a loss). It may have still not killed Rose for the underlying plot reasons, but all of that is secondary to what the security person was trying to accomplish, which was to give the other two the best possible chance to escape. Whether that gave them a minute or just an extra second, it'd be worth it. Even if it gave them no extra time at all, then it's a wash; she likely dies either way, but at least this way she dies 𝘵𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 to help protect two other people, rather than dying in vain trying to escape and protect her own life. Don't forget the words of a wise sage, "If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do."

2024-06-26 23:59:59 +0000 UTCThe working titles for this episode were The Companion Who Couldn't and Adam. According to Russell T Davies, this episode was based on an idea which he submitted to the Doctor Who production team in the late 1980s. Whether it was ever read by the production team of the time is unclear, as Davies received a rejection letter from the BBC Script Unit, who advised him to write more realistic television about "a man and his mortgage" instead. (How rude!) There are references to various reality and game TV shows that were popular in the early 2000’s Big Brother, The Weakest Link etc. Simon Pegg had great difficulty saying "the Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe". (I can’t say this myself and I don’t think Shan will attempt it) The scene used in the episode features the best take he could do, with the monster growling over the bits he got wrong. Adam has the distinct honour of being the first and, to date, only known companion to have his TARDIS-travelling rights revoked by the Doctor due to bad behaviour, well done dopey no more space and time for you back to moms house you go. The "frozen vomit" that Adam spits out in one scene was in fact a "kiwi and orange ice cube". Simon Pegg had grown up with Doctor Who and considered it a "great honour" to guest star. He was pleased at being cast as a villain. In fact he was so impressed with Christopher Eccleston that he referred to him as ‘old misery guts’ on set. Nicholas Briggs had recorded voice work for the Jagrafess, but his contribution was not used because it sounded too similar to the Nestene Consciousness in Rose.
