SPOILERS - Doctor Who: The Star Beast Discussion
(lemmy.world)
Haven't seen a discussion post for the new special, so I'll get the ball rolling. Thoughts, insights, bits you loved... let it all out.
I wish there was a bit more thought put into why the TARDIS interior changed the way it does. It would have been more of a thematic triumph had it evoked the Nobles more directly somehow. It felt a bit too clinical for this Doctor, and I'm hoping that only means it's a blank slate for him to tweak to his liking. I do like the lights, though. They at least at some occasional color.
Agreed. This time felt completely random.
Yeah. I thought the same. As loose as Doctor Who's story beats often are, it felt silly that the story didn't take a quick detour to blow up the console real quick.
That's a great point. In the Pertwee/Baker era, that TARDIS interior helped underscore how the Doctor felt like a prisoner of Unit.
Now, as you said, hopefully it's about a blank slate. I'm excited for the possibilities for growth for a version of the Doctor who habitually shares their feelings and sometimes admits to not knowing something!
