So how would you some up Chibnalls' style/strengths as a who writer?- Malick
{{ His style is exposition, surface level writing with a lack of any substance, his strengths.....well I assume he turns up for work on time?

{{ You know at this point, more I think about what Chibbers has done with the Doctor as a character, re the Timeless Child stuff. More my headcanon is incling towards the Doctor died with 12, that when 12 was in the snow it wasn't really earth, just some snowy planet. And when he was refusing to regenerate again wanting to just have peace and rest at last, the setting just reminded him of his first regeneration in the Artic and so he hallucinated the final 12 episode where he effectively said goodbye to himself, to the Doctor in the form of his first self. And to his most recent friends, especially Bill about whose transformation into a Cyberman he was racked with guilt and self blame for. And together with Nardole they are also representing all his companions over the centuries, and one who was particualrly dear to him the Brigadier, represented by the WW1 soldier, hallucinated as the Brig's grandfather.
And then the Doctor did indeed finally go to his peaceful rest.
He has afterall hallucinated in previous regenerations whilst going through the dying part of the process, 5 did and so did 11.
And if RTD can pull it back, I'll rewrite the head canon so this entire era of Chibnall's is a nightmare brought on by all his guilt over the years from so many of his actions. A nightmare version of his being, in which he becomes the all important greatest being in the Universe and not just a Gallifreyean at all or even a Time Lord, yet he will be useless as the Doctor never knowing whats going on, unable to work anything out and having to ask all the villains and monsters to explain whats happening. And all the companions will become personality voids who just stand around and only ever agree with what the greatest being in creation, the Doctor, but more the super being Timeless Child says or does. Then the Doctor will finally come out the nightmare and through the regenartion into RTD's new Doctor.

Well thats a typical Moffat style timey-wimey explanation. But My more prosaic version is that RTD just pretends Chibbers has never happened and starts afresh. I want the mystery to return, but Chibbers has ruined that.

{{ I hadn't really considered that Figg. But then I suppose a very good reason I enjoy Moffats Who is its very much in line with my own tastes and humour. Wonder if its anything to do with us both being from the West Coast of Scotland and there is a cultural element to it (same area that gave the world comic writer Grant Morrison whose work also has a similar yet distinct style and who was also particuarly up my street too). Never really considered it before.
But I still prefer my headcanon over just pretedning it didn't happen. Plus makes 12's final line all the more poignant.
"Doctor, I let you go." }}

{{ Things That Don't Make Sense - its a bumper edition this one strap yourself in!
Buckie! By Eru I need this after that. }}
- Spoiler:
- What happened to Penny? Last week ends with Yaz and Dan and Penny stuck in the village in 1901. This week its just Yaz, Dan and Professor. What they just abandoned a what 12, 13 year old girl in a deserted village? She doesn't get even warrant a single mention from anyone not a solitary word of explanation. Just no longer needed gone from story.
Talking of the village, um,what happened to it? Last weeks ended with them not just in the village in 1901 but trapped there due to their being nothing but spacey voidy stuff all round it. How did they get out? Did the Angels put them back? Why would they do that?
One of the things I'm glad Chibbers not only kept from Moffats Angels and has even put emphasis on in this very episode is that they are cruel purely for pleasure, they just enjoy being cruel. They made Amy countdown to the Angel in her mind killing her purely so she would die terrified and in fear knowing it was coming and when, they strip Bobs cerebral cortex just to taunt the Doctor with his voice and memories over how the Doctor had early lied to him, his fear had not kept him alive, he had in fact died alone in fear and pain. So why would such creatures, who in the same episode their cruelty was specifically mentioned put the village and Yaz, Dan and Penny back?
Once out the village, somehow, where did they get the money to go globe-trotting? Did the Professor fund the whole thing? Talking of the Professor, loved his appearing disappearing beard, its there for a single scene, why? There no point if its meant to be a visual indication of the passing of time because there's Chibbers favoured massive titles on screen telling where they are and the date, and then someone usually also says it as exposition. Its just there in a scene and never seen before or again, and not just a bit of scruff its a full on beard.
Why would a pot in a south American Atzec tomb or any of the other stuff they are chasing after tell them when the world is going to end? So now we have prophecies made by human society foretelling the actual future? But worse finding this date is the task appointed to them apparently, not sure by whom as in the holo image message I don't recall the doctor actually mentioning it. But I may have nodded off or being pouring another bottle of buckie down me by then to numb the pain. But even if she does mention it its their all important urgent mission right up till they meet comedy Guru up the Himalayan mountains and then the entire find the date thing just vanishes from the story. Now its suddenly about sending a message to dog alien in the future to come rescue them and the whole find the date thing is not important now and completely forgotten about.
There is no purpose at all in any of the earlier globe-trotting find the prophesy items to learn the date stuff. Its a narrative cul-de-sac that is utterly abandoned having gone nowhere at all but has taken up over half of the entire episode.
Talking of the message, they paint it in huge letters on the ground next to the Great Wall of China. So they went all the way there presumably on the bases you can see the Great Wall from space. But not ten foot high letters painted on the ground next to a tiny bit of it! And dog alien for some reason happens to be looking at the Great Wall in the future in close up at that exact section and sees the message, which is still there so the Chinese authorities don't mind a huge graffiti message painted on whitewash right next to the Great Wall? And how is it still there today/? Why hasn't it faded, been overgrown? Dog alien says he doesn't have time travel so its doubtful his scanner does so he is looking at it over 100 years after it was painted. Why is it still there? Is someone constantly tending to it and repainting it?
Talking Dog alien when the ship drifts out of place it apparently breaks the entire shield? And then the Sontarans can transport down through the hole? So why don't they just move the next ship along into the hole, and so on, and keep doing that round and round the planet? It'd be near impossible for the Sonatarans to get through a moving target and they'd probably lose more than they got through by them hitting the newly filed shield if they miss time any a fraction. And we are to believe that this is every single Lupari ship in existence save the stolen one Bel has? They don't have any more at home? Is their entire species here? Puppies and all? I guess so as presumably their home world is fluxed. But would they really choose to save earth over their home world? And if they are protecting their own planet same way as earth presumably they have lots of back up ships their in-case any of their own ships need replaced in the shield. But no the only one in existence is Bel's.
Talking Bel, and Vinder. Bel is in her own plot line looking for Vinder, but Chibnal needs all the characters to somehow get together for the finale next week so she is literally snatched out of her own plot line and into dog aliens by him just hijacking her ship and hyper-jumping her there. And then its Sontaran time and she's in a completely different plot line where she is fighting a Sontaran invasion with Dog Alien.. Its so clumsy.
And Vinder has either a transporter on his wrist we've never seen before, or I suspect a vortex manipulator like Cpt Jacks- I foresee handy crudely introduced out of nowhere because needed next week to get Yaz and co out of 1900s with Bel and dog alien plot device. But if it is its had no set up, never seen it before now in the story in all the time of seeing Vinder.
Oh and why is Vinder called the Doctors friend? She has barely met him at all, seen him once in the Temple place with Yaz as they all ran away and that was it.
So the Division created the Flux in order to destroy the universe, move their organisation to another neighbouring universe and run it form behind the scenes instead, and their motivation for doing so is that the Doctor gives too many people hope in the universe and that is somehow affecting the Divisions plans so much that the only solution was to destroy the entire universe with the Doctor in it and move to another one?
And that's not even the best bit. Having decided it was worth destroying the entire universe (and remember that includes Gallifrey) just to get rid of the Doctor giving folk hope, Tactummuttytum then invites the Doctor to rejoin her and go with them to the new universe. What?
And Swarm And Azure were released to do, what exactly? A virus in Time? Um, I don't know. But I do know they have become increasingly less interesting with every episode. I said at the start of this story that the actor who played Swarm was putting a good job in at the evil villain, but since then he's had increasingly less not more to do and now pretty much is reduced to a sort of cameo appearance, but then they somehow get to Division by building a time bridge to it out of the people they killed that they collected inside the Passenger people so they can get Tactotahay out of the story by just killing her on the post.
And what was the point of all that Temple stuff in the earlier episode? If their goal was to get to the Divsion and to get there all they needed was to do what they did with the Passengers why where they in the Temple at all? If the people in the Temple wre holding Time together they were already screwed by the Flux before Azure and Swarm arrived with 2 dead already. And how did this place in any way affect their plan to capture folk with the Passengers anyway, they arrive at the Temple with the Passsengers so they already have them. And why did Azure destroy one with millions in it just a gesture if they really did need them all to get enough power to reach the Divsion? What if not enough folk had survived the Flux to gather? They dont know how many they need and cant know how many will survive at that point. And are they even the main villains?
Who is?
Tectadadah? Well they killed her it seems so that's one villain down. But then there's Serpent Guy? Is he the main villain? Or what about all the Sontarans invading earth with thousands of ships and presumably billions of Sontarans? Are they the main villains? Are we meant to care about Earth being invaded when the universe outside Earth is all but destroyed already? Where are the stakes meant to be place in this to a care about?
Talking Serpent guy, well this fucks up UNITS founding history even more than Modyrn Undead did!!!! In Web of Time, the classic episode with the 2nd Doctor in which the Brig first appears, but before he was a Brigadier it is quite clear that UNIT did not yet exists. Now it did.
Worse than that they have 13's TARDIS in the Commanding Officers office later on when they make a point of fan service to show that that they just hired a new guy- the Brigadier whose voice you hear in the background. When the Commanding Officer has 13's TARDIS sitting right there in it, which obviously means the Brigadier would have seen the TARDIS in UNIT before the 3rd Doctor has his in the Brigadiers office. Its all such a mess.
Exactly how did Serpent Guy go undetected one of the highest positions in UNIT when he doesn't age and VIP's keep suspiciously dropping down dead all around him? I don't know what shows up in an autopsy for an alien snake erupting under your skin before emerging from your mouth, but I'd reckon it must look pretty much the same every time. I know Kate says he doctored files and uses having other things to take care of that keep him away for long periods of time from UNIT HQ, but its UNIT, its ridiculous to believe he was never outed before now. This very episode shows UNIT had devised a device for detecting alien life forms by the 60's. We've seen in the present day Black Vault they have devices can erase short term or long term memories. How does he even get into a UNIT HQ building without setting off every alarm in the place?
Why does the Division OoD help the Doctor? It tells her it cant follow her orders its under Division orders, then it shows her what she wants to see anyway. And why has this entire series boiled down to Doctor finds way to end up standing in a 'insert room/ on a beach/ on an empty Battlefield/ in a swirly place here', with 'insert whoever main villain for that weeks happens to be here,' asking “Can someone please tell me what's going on?” and having the plot expositioned at her. Can we please have the Doctor back instead?
Buckie! By Eru I need this after that. }}

It's just a pile of nonsense. It doesn't make any sense. Everything that is almost viewable is a pale copy of past who and only plays on nostalgic strings. The angels were already ruined by Moffat, Chibbers both restores and makes a bigger mess of them. The candy scull baddies are at least better to watch than that tooth fairy creature. Sure, I often felt Moffat was insulting my intelligence, but I felt he at least assumed I had any!

{{ I'm curious in what way you feel Moffat ruined the Angels?
All the best bits of Chinalls episode with the Angels was just taking stuff Moffat already did with them; dust from the eye, hallucinating turning into an Angel, using someone elses voice to talk through, projecting from images, having an Angel in your mind. Only some things like the taking voices he does less imaginatvely, Moffat at least gave us Sacred Bob, Angel cruelty and there was a narrative reason in the taunting of the Doctor with Bob's death (and plays into one of my favourite exchanges in that episode between 11 and the Bishop which pulls up 11 who has been pretty dismissive of the Bishop till then and after which he gains a great deal more respect for the Bishop in turn playing into the Bishop's death scene)
DOCTOR: Called you an idiot. Sorry, but there's no way we could have rescued your men.
OCTAVIAN: I know that, sir. And when you've flown away in your little blue box, I'll explain that to their families.
Now using whats just a need in your story for the bad guy to be able to talk to the good guys to also layer your characters and their interactions, that's for me good writing.
Chibnall just has them able to speak in the voice of whoever is there and its only purpose is he needs the Angel to talk.
Its a good example of how Moffat layered his need for something technical- an excuse for how an Angel can talk- into the narrative and character arcs, whereas Chibnall doesn't and its just crudely done by comparison.
Another case of Chibnall taking something already done but implimenting it in a much weaker fashion. }}

Moffat ruined them because he wouldn't let them alone. The more you see them the less scary they get. After Blink, he should only have used them once again, and Chibbers should never have used them. The Angels are done. Primarily because Moffat knew people liked them, and Chibbers because he had no new ideas of his own.
But at least Moffat used the Angels in a more interesting way.

{{ He only has them in 3 stories across more than 7 series. And I supect there would have been some pressure from above as they were so popular from the off and that mean merch sales. But they were used a lot less than the Daleks/Cybermen or the Master in the same period were by either Moffat or RTD. }}

{{ AI for this weeks mess was a predicatably low 77.
One episode left to prevent this being the first NuWHo series to have all episodes score below 80 in AI's. But even as it stands, 5 out of 5 so far is just terrible. }}

Is this the last stuff by Chibbers, or is there more to come?

You guys must be crushingly bored to keep discussing something you not only didn't like but knew ahead of time you wouldn't like it.

{{ Dunno about bored. Theres is always some interest to be found in when someting goes so badly wrong, look at all the discusion over the years of Plan 9 From Outer space. And theres something akin to the irresistable urge to pick at a scab when it comes to this show for me, I know its not worth it and probably just hurt but hard not to.
Plus Who is a show that constantly shifts and morphs and changes, and its about to do so again, so this is just seeing how it gets there. Its also a show that when it comes right down to it is an optimist and with a lead character who is the ultimate optimist in the end in face of unimaginably long pain. So there is always hope that among the general bad stuff something good might temporarily appear.
I'm sure if Amarie or Figg were asked they could probably pick some episodes from Moffats tenure they enjoyed and thought were very good. Just as I can episodes of the RTD era I think the same of.
Something else that sets the Chibnall era apart for me, there isn't a single episode so far that fits that category.
But I'll be like the Doctor and be optimistic still in the face of all the pain and keep watching to the bitter end in the hopes there might be one right at the last. }}

yep, its scabs. Its like squeezing a particularly pussy spot. Disgusting, but satisfying. Plus the Chibbers era has seen a Christmas Day cease-fire between RTD and Moffat fans, as we are totally united in our disdain for Chibbers and his crappy episodes and cos-play Doctor. So that's a bonus.

Hard to tell the difference between pussy and pussy when reading it.

{{ Well its turns out
- Spoiler:
- almost everything was not very important or interesting or worth the time spent on them, what a surpsie. Almost nothing makes any sense, theres so many hand wave explanations and events going on here that it may as well be in semaphore. And Chibnall has finally reached the ultimate in exposition, three versions of the Doctor so she can both stand still and do nothing and exposition the plot at herself at the same time. Genius really! }}
