Doctor Who

I was lukewarm about series 11 (I tend to think of them as seasons but I respect that in the UK it's series) mecause I found the villains lackluster, but I'm really enjoying series 12 so far. There seems to be an interesting arc in place that will give the current Doctor more of a personal challenge than she faced in the previous series.

Re: Doctor Who

Yesterday's Doctor Who: Interesting variation of

. Liked the episode overall. Took me towards the end to recognize Laura Fraser since her character was so different from Lydia from Breaking Bad. I did think the episode got a bit preachy towards the end. I mean, I agree with what the Doctor was saying, but sometimes points are more effective when presented subtly than when the viewer is bludgeoned with them.

Regarding earlier episodes this season: O mentioned a brief encounter with the Doctor as a guy. Anyone want to speculate which version of the Doctor? I'm going with the 12th, given that

.

BTW, a reminder that some people binge watch episodes, sometimes when the DVD/Blu-ray comes out, so do put spoiler tags in when discussing key plot points.

Re: Doctor Who

The latest episode itself: appears to mainly have been to educate viewers on the history of Tesla vs. Edison and works well enough on that level. Perhaps more bizarrely, I spent yesterday uploading photos (and a few video) of my September 2019 trip to Niagara Falls and making notes of additional photos/videos of same for future uploads, so it was a bit surreal having the episode open on Niagara Falls on the same day. For those of you who have never been there, the waterfall in the opening shot (and a few minutes later in an evening shot) is the Horseshoe (a.k.a. Canadian) Falls. On the left side of the falls is Niagara Falls State Park, Niagara Falls, New York. On the right side of the falls is Niagara Falls, Ontario. The river is Niagara River. Here is a video I shot in 2019 of this one from the Ontario side: https://www.flickr.com/photos/24917258@N05/49411504026/

In the next shot you see a large waterfall, with a much thinner one to the right. The larger of the two is the American Falls while the thinner one is the Bridal Veil Falls. Both falls are on the New York side, but Tesla and his audience are on the Ontario side. Here is a shot of both from June 2016 https://www.flickr.com/photos/24917258@N05/29875894283/ and and of the two in relation to the Horseshoe Falls from 2019 https://www.flickr.com/photos/24917258@N05/49410679043/

Re: Doctor Who

So what are people's thoughts on the game changing season finale? Be sure to include spoiler tags in your reply as needed. For those who just want a summary and keep in mind these are huge spoilers:
