#doctor who: boom

[idobebeinggay]

Things about Boom!

1) I’ve been doubting the new series, love 15 love ruby love that Murray is well and truly back, not quite feeling the vibe yet. BUT BOOM HAS BROUGHT IT BACK BABY

2) this is one of the type of DW episode that I like most, totally just personal preference but I like these ones, unity ones, historical mysteries more than the random space ship ones (did like space babies tho)

3) RIVER MENTIONS OR AT LEAST VIBES I LIVE IN DELUSIONS DO NOT TAKE THESE FROM ME

4)MASTER MENTIONS NOT EVEN GOING THERE AAAAA (if 15 called the master a pet name they would melt into a catatonic puddle on the floor, im imagining Delgado master actually collapsed but would work for any of them I just like Delgado’s vibe(Missy is still my fav tho))

5) Love the anti organised religion vibes and war, that’s my jam Emily Dickinson, mash, 12’s speech, all things that embody my beliefs.

6) Call back to the military church stuff from Matt smith’s era! Yay! My original episodes!

7) mundy(spelling??? Too late shouldn’t be typing this now not gonna google it) is very cool and I love her vibe

8) ncuti is amazing and I feel like this was him properly in the swing of the doctor completely brilliant. The innate personality was exactly like the doctor always is but with the brilliant spin that ncuti gets to put on the presentation! Loving it!!

9) well done Moffat you got to kill of the companion. yes we know it builds character. yes yes very good. (Said with affection)

moffat said i only get one chance i HAVE to fucking kill the companion and bring them back to life in 45 minutes if that’s all the time i have. companions have to be dead for a little while, it’s good for them, it’s like enrichment. adds flavour. and he was right

The Moon and the President's Wife // BOOM

Bonus:

[thesuburbanerd]

Steven Moffat coming back to Doctor Who after years away just to go after capitalism, organized religion as a cover for violence, the military industrial complex, AI, and “thoughts and prayers” in 46 minutes.

THE TIME OF ANGELS (2010) BOOM (2024)

Proof that the Doctor can just stand in one spot for an episode and still carry the whole bloody episode.

Bravo Ncuti for encapsulating the whole of the Doctor's character while standing still.

[gallifreyanhotfive]

Can I just say that I love that the Doctor actually shed tears while standing on that land mine? Like yes, that's incredibly stressful, and for once, the Doctor showed how scared he was. And that's so rare.

[thenotoriousscuttlecliff]

Moffat getting more and more angry as he gets older and I'm loving it.

easy mistake to make

[deadrobinsclub-est1988]

“Dad to dad” “I’ve been a father before” “I was a dad once” as if the Doctor hasn’t been on a trip to the grocery store to get milk for the past 2000 years

[ohmerricat]

if i had one nickel for every time the word “lesbian” was spoken aloud on doctor who, i’d have two consecutive nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s incredible that it happened twice in a row and neither example was during that whole series with an openly lesbian companion
