SPOILERS TOTAL. You've been warned.
1501: The Robot Revolution 2025 April 12
(First watched 2025-04-13) That was a pretty solid episode, moreso than most of last season's I feel.
Belinda is in her mid-30s, so automatically becomes another one of the "older" companions the show has seen.
The thing about... the same object can't exist in the same place at once? Feels as bad here as it always does in fiction. What we saw was NOT the same object at the same place at once, just... relatively near each other. ANY two objects in EXACTLY the same place would cause problems, that's like... beyond fusion.
So we saw two copies of the star paper cause the weird explosion (with a pretty nice trippy sequence following), at least one of which was left over afterward which the Doctor stored away. And now we saw another copy floating in space from the... destruction of Earth on May 24, 2025? Though I gotta say, considering all that rubbish we saw at the very end, the Doctor sure was absolutely zero of it when he looked out the doors.
Leading up to May 24, 2025 reminds me a lot of Series 5 when from the beginning we saw that an important date was the date of the season finale. Though in this case it appears it's episode 7 of 8 that airs on that day.
Russel T. Davies's Doctor picking up his second companion in a hospital... seems a bit familiar.
1502: Lux 2025 April 19
(First watched 2025-04-20) That was all very cleverly done. Living cartoon pulled off very well. Doctor and Belinda trapped in film. Flying a bit close to the sun when they stepped out into a room of people watching Doctor Who, but I think it was pulled off.
Between blowing some to heal a burnt hand and Lux sucking out enough to create himself a proper body, just how much regeneration energy did the Doctor lose this episode?
So it seems like the overall thing this season is trying to get back to May 24, 2025 since they just _bounce_ off it when trying to go directly. Similar things have happened before (Doctor saying he can't go back to the time when Amy and Rory ended up for instance), but once again it seems like they avoid mentioning various possibilities because it could blow a hole in the story they're trying to tell. Like, if they're specifically bouncing off May 24... would May 23, 2025 work? Just land and chill for a day?
