A Few Notes:

  • Please no spoilers beyond this episode unless you see that later episodes have already been released. In that case, no spoilers beyond those episodes.
  • This video is in a watch-along format. This means you'll need your own copy of the episode to watch alongside my reaction. This is in an effort to avoid copyright infringement.
  • If you're based in the UK (or using a UK streaming site), here are instructions for how to get your copy to sync with mine.
  • The show footage will play for the first 30 seconds with both video and audio. After that, the show footage will be silenced, and the video will be blurred for the remainder of the episode. There is also a count-up timer that begins once the episode has started. These things will hopefully make it easier for you to keep your copy of the episode synced with mine.

I do agreed with you that a lot of the Storytelling in this is clunky. I agreed the moral standpoint of Kate in this entirely inconsistent with her other appearances and how we are meant to perceive her. Literally watch her introduction in Power of Three and she is introduced as the compassionate scientist (‘science Leads my father always said’) who is changing you from the inside. You can argue that her position has changed her views which would be fascinating but would actually need to be explored in this story. The concept is trying to ask big questions about radicalisation and terrorism/freedom fighting but doesn’t quite hit the nail on the head. I agree Jenna does a great job with Bonnie but ultimately her motivations aren’t explored in enough detail. The resolution with Bonnie switching as far as to not just maintain the ceasefire but be an Osgood and actively defend it doesn’t quite work for me either. Despite all this I do rewatch this (mostly just the second part) because the character moments aren’t good they are incredible. The doctor’s speech is commonly referred to as the War Speech is some of Who’s best writing and one of Capaldi’s crowning achievements. And the battle between Clara and Bonnie and 12/Clara moments are wonderful. They spend most of the story apart but there is great stuff when 12 and Clara are together. A story I want to love but only like.

That “war speech” has gone down in history at this point. Fans have got other doctors to read parts of it INCLUDING John Hurt and even Christopher Eccleston (which I imagine you’d appreciate too!). That speech was the first time since 10 left that Doctor Who made me tear up.
