Doctor Who

[Ohemgee]

This episode is totally skippable. And no, you're not watching the happening. That movie was hilarious



Although I've enjoyed this season, it better have a huge pay off in the last two episodes of this series.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

What a shit episode. Hatred of Pink just keeps growing too.

At this point, I'm missing Donna's Mother.

[Deftscythe]

Danny staying with Clara at this point makes no sense, she has done nothing but lie to him since they met. Maybe her pussy's smaller on the inside.

[Galkaeater]

crap ep one long cringefest but next episode looks like it might be good

[Shuvo]

Booo worst episode of the season. They let me lower my guard and have raised expectations after the last 2 good eps, then they go and do this!!

Maybe her pussy's smaller on the inside.

lol

So Pink has managed to be worse than Mickey (Rickey?). I would say I do not know how he has managed this, but that would be a lie, since it is painfully obvious that whomever is writing this does not have any idea as to the meaning of the word subtle.

The episode looked good, with pretty trees and whatnot.

Capaldi managed to be incredible as everything around him was terrible.

Children are terrible, so let us show more and more of them.

Apparently wolves are very slow and if I'm ever in a situation were I'm being chased by them, I should run slightly faster than a little girl.

Tigers do not like bright lights and I should carry a flashlight with me if I'm going into tigertown. Even if this is a thing that is apparently a very well known weakness of tigers, I feel like Pinkerton backflipping over the tiger and punching it in the asshole would've been a better scene.

Was that child supposed to have been hiding in a bush since whenever she went missing? Did the magic trees return her? Was she just wandering around London? If any of these are true, fuck you.

Clara, do you actually believe that it is better to fucking die than to grow up without parents? Is that actually a thought that bounced around in your head and felt good enough to come out of your mouth? It is a good thing I know that you are not a real person and are instead an awful amalgamation of whatever horrid ideas a bunch of hack writers can manage to come up with. You say that they get paid to write this? BBC, here I come!

The Doctor apparently does not know how glaciers form. They just magic themselves into existence, like a bunch of goddamn magic trees.

Oh, by the way, everyone in world is apparently asleep at the same time and wakes up to the existence of trees everywhere. No one was awake to see these trees grow. It would have been silly for these magic trees to have grown over a few days to seem at least slightly probable, because then we wouldn't have magic firefly trees.

People will also forget about the trees completely because of (god, I hope he meant) time, which is strangely the most reasonable thing to happen in this episode.

Where the fuckleberries did these trees come from? They couldn't have grown all over the world, because I can't imagine they would have the necessary resources to do so. Must be transdimensional trees that always exist and only cross over when they need to protect humanity from solar flares. They will do this with terrible science and a magic oxygen bubble. Yep, no flaw in any of this logic. Let us keep on going.

Let us burn down the entire forest in the middle of a city with controlled burns by telling people to fill up buckets of water. Then, when we see people running around in the forest, we will ignore the fact that there are potentially people running around the forest and continue burning down the forest, because this is the most obvious course we can take. Magic forest, burn it down.

Since I've only briefly complained about Pinky: I do not want to see wonders because I was a soldier and thought I wanted to see stuff, but then I was wrong for some reason and this is logic. No, Pinkerknickle, that is not at all logical. Get in the goddamn spaceship and see the magic trees stop a solar flare.

I was going to stop there, but I have to ask: what the shit were the magic fireflies doing and why could only the insane girl see them before the Doctor used his wand?

In short, where is the fucking memory worm so I can forget this ever happened.

[Byrthnoth]

The 2D episode was probably the best of the season so far. Tree episode was kind of ~eh~ but it didn't offend me as much as some of the previous ones because they didn't try to rationalize everything.

The teaser for the season finale fills me with fear. I think it's going to be terrible.

[fliprock]

im not digging the season, every show is about moving the story forward, esp if you have seasons/series that have 10-12 eps per. i understand that moffat wanted to cut down on the huge arcs but there should be some sort of idea of where things are leading, we've only gotten the three or four eps where we see people die and go to that place. you can pretty much watch the first ep and probably the last two and would be fine.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

There was so much about the tree episode that I hated.

The magical trees made zero fucking sense.
First, what magical shit made them grow that super fast? Solar flares would not increase the growth rate of all trees on the entire planet by like 4000%.
Second, was that the tree spirits that spoke through the little girl? If it was, why didn't it just say "Chill bra, we're saving everyone". The fuck was the "We're taking over" shit?
third, why couldn't they just have done some weird TARDIS glitch where it kidnapped a bunch of kids or something, sent them to the future where trees have taken over and started to become humanoid(like the tree bitch in the end of the world from season 1, ep 2) and then do the whole solar flare thing. Not adding some stupid fucking earth changing event that everyone forgets about because the doctor says so.

"Hey, Honey, remember when trees overtook earth for like 4 days, lots of people died due to power outages, and what not and then the Sun roasted the earth but all the trees producing oxygen saved everyone then turned to dust?"

"Sure don't, I'm pretty positive you were dreaming"

4th, why was the little girl even needed to do a world wide fucking speech saying don't kill the trees? We all saw how fast and shit the trees grew right? The Doctor sent out that message with like what? an hour to spare or something? What harm could any person have even done to the extreme tree population at that point?(Spoilers, fucking nothing)

5th, WHY THE FUCK WAS THE LITTLE GIRL SO FUCKING MAGICAL?! Her sister ran away, suddenly she can hear and see things that the fucking time traveling super machine can't?

6th, WHY THE FUCK WAS HER OLDER SISTER A FUCKING BUSH? That made zero fucking sense. Did the trees kidnap her 14 months ago to prepare for the solar flare, knowing that little sister will find the Doctor, and need to have the Sonic used around her, thus letting the trees take her over, to tell the doctor they're fucked, then actually save the earth?

7th, Pink is by far the worst character to come out of the show so far. Yes, Mickey had a rough start but he grew into a fucking badass. He's a whiny fucking bitch that seems to hate the Doctor for no fucking reason. Shit, he found out his super fucking hot girlfriend is traveling through time and space saving countless lives and seeing things that no human could ever possibly understand. BETTER TELL ME GIRLFRIEND NO.

8th, PINK IS BY FAR THE WORST CHARACTER. Donna's mother was less of a cunt than Pink.

And the trailer for next week looks stupid.

I could rant more but i'm tired as balls

[Laugana]

Hmm, sounds like I made a good decision not watching any episodes after the first one aired.

[Iono]

While I hate Pink, you can hardly say he doesn't have reason to hate The Doctor.

But yea, I have no idea what Clara and Pink see in each other.

[Jamison]

While this last episode was laughable, each season has had their stinkers. I'm not seeing this as any worse than some that 9, 10 or 11 had.

The only hope of salvation for Pink is if he's a plant for Missy to help keep tabs on the Doctor. At least that would excuse why he keeps putting up with her lies. In all seriousness though, early in the season I thought he could be a fantastic character. A shame it's come to this...

[Deftscythe]

Yes, there have been worse episodes(fucking Daleks in New York), but no season has been as consistently bad as this one.

[ronin sparthos]

While I hate Pink, you can hardly say he doesn't have reason to hate The Doctor.

But yea, I have no idea what Clara and Pink see in each other.

I don't see why he should 'hate' the Doctor. Capaldi is basically Clara's granddad and he doesn't approve of soldiers. Pink has dealt with this type of situation before as they've setup during the arc. He clearly wants people to think of him as more than some guy that pointed a gun around and killed people which is why he constantly brings up saving people / building shit yet he's done jack shit to SHOW this to the Doctor whom his GF holds in quite high esteem. Something tells me Clara/Pinks relationship is part of the machinations of the season finale twist.

It seems the only reason the writers didn't go with Pink on the TARDIS is because it'd be too much Amy/Rory mirroring and to setup tension between the Doctor and Pink after whatever happens to Clara happens. Clara is addicted to traveling with the Doctor because shit who wouldn't be? Pink saying things like 'I want to see these kids change more than traveling through time/space' makes no sense when you're traveling in a time machine. Bruh, do you even wibbly wobbly? Pink feels like a literary construct more he does an actual person primarily because his actions are stymied by the story arc. Being a soldier doesn't suddenly eliminate your curiosity of some dude in a magic box offering to take you *anywhere*. Know what would? Bad experiences.

If Pink traveled with the Doctor, felt like his soldier instincts were surfacing after some adventures (which isn't a huge leap considering the Doctors nature) putting his relationship with Clara in danger I'd be all like "Ok, makes sense. Probably time to get off the TARDIS." but as it stands Pink's reasons for not traveling on the TARDIS with his GF is full of illogical mess. It's even worse considering that hilarious flip and now scaring off a tiger with a flashlight. I'm more inclined to believe Pink was a Scouts flunkout than a soldier.

I was told this series would be dark. Where is the dark? Tennant had darker episodes than what Capaldi's been given.

[Intrinsic]

This last episode was no worse than almost every other episode in this season.

[ronin sparthos]

Yes, there have been worse episodes(fucking Daleks in New York), but no season has been as consistently bad as this one.

LAZLO THE ORC MAN.
ANDREW GARFIELD
DALEK MAN
TALLULAH
PIG SLAVES

That episode was silly as hell and I'd still watch it over half series8.

[Meph]

seriously, bring back the old writers

[Jamison]

Still some stupid shit, but overall a pretty intense episode.

[Qeomash]

I enjoyed it.

Spoiler: show

Though I was disappointed it was just the Master. I did like how Capaldi was nearly starting to smile at the same time he was horrified at the revelation.

[Jamison]

Same.

Spoiler: show

Hopefully they break some new ground with it, otherwise it seems a little trite. Curious how he came back this time. Missed the half smile, I'll have to go back and check that out.

Unrelated, this episode has been fantastic for my upload ratio
