Wow it seems this episode is starting in media res, cause the Doctor, Yaz, and Dan run right out of the tardis and start running off somewhere. The tardis locked itself with glowing cracks and they are in some building? and team doctor seem like they already know where they are and where they need to go cause they aren't wasting any time.
Meanwhile, it seems the building owner, Sarah, and a customer, Nick (this place is a self-storage facility), are also running around. They run into each other in a hallway and they start talking with each other. Apparently some robot has been attacking and they've died twice already. (what, like a time loop?)
Nick says that on the second time, he ran to the lobby to save her, and askes if on the second time, she had run to this hallway to save him, and she says yes. no reason not to believe her. that's kinda sweet to be honest. them both running to save each other and then missing each other. too bad we didn't see it.
Then team doctor runs up and introduces themselves as 'building inspectors' Team doctor has also died twice. Despite the clear danger that they are in, Sarah and Nick still steal the show, Sarah making very apparent her annoyance with what is going on and blaming the robot (a dalek apparently) on the Doctor.
The dalek comes in and starts shooting, but luckily they manage to duck into the storage room in time and lock themselves in there.
Fortunately, it seems a metal door is more than a match for a dalek, since now they are afforded a few minutes to form a plan
we see whats in this storage room and wow, Nick is a weirdo. this entire BIG room is filled with shelves of just random stuff, each labeled with a name and a date.
apparently each of these random things, random books, monopoly board game, just absolute junk, these all belong to various of Nick's VAST number of ex-girlfriends, and he stores them just in case they ever call asking for their stuff back. noble but honestly kinda weird and also holy shit that is a LOT of ex-girlfriends
Sarah berates Nick for being the kind of weirdo who comes in to a self storage facility, HER self storage facility, 7 minutes before midnight, on NEW YEARS EVE, to store junk that, if we're being honest, those girls don't want this junk back. just throw stuff away like a normal person. if it wasn't for people like jeff, the prick employee who is supposed to be working this evening instead of her, and nick, the weirdo customer who is making her be at work at 11:53 on new years eve, she wouldn't be here, in this situation, in this time loop, with killer robots running around
The doctor clarifies that a dalek isn't a robot, it is basically a mini-tank piloted by an angry gooey alien.
Meanwhile, Nick is upset at everyone calling him a weirdo and runs back to the hallway to try to bargain with the dalek: he'll sacrifice himself if the dalek lets the others live. Dalek has a better idea: he dies and so do the rest. pewpewpewpewpew. rip.
The doctor would like to know if there's anything useful that could possibly help. useful, not like the trash nick keeps. Sarah says that jeff keeps a lot of stuff on the fifth floor, so the doctor says that on the next loop, all of them should meet up there on the fifth floor and see if theres something they can use. Then the dalek has finally blasted down the door and broken into the room, and pewpewpew they are all dead.
welp. shit.
hey at least they're in a time loop, apparently? it's pretty weird though. Starting the episode in media res, on the third loop of a time loop, and then putting in a ton of exposition and then just ending the episode without showing any other loops??
so confusing. this episode wasn't even 45 minutes long. How does this get resolved? This isn't a two parter ?? i don't get what's happening.

Overall Rating:
Villain: a Dalek! These angry robots are actually angry aliens piloting a rather rigid slidey saltshaker of a mecha, armed with a deadly chaingun, a powerful improvement over the standard daleks that have been in the show over the years. Now they can fire multiple rapid bursts of deadly lasers, strong enough to instantly kill a person and also weak enough that it requires several minutes of constant bombardment to melt through a thin metal door.
Deaths: Nick, Sarah, Doctor, Yaz, Dan
Births: none
Overall Death Rate: 5

Moral of the Story: There's just so little to go off of. they're in a time loop? but we only get to see one loop and they die? how about a moral of the story for the writers! do better? maybe?

Having just finished the Flux adventure, the doctor needs to turn the tardis off and on again in order to repair any damage it had taken during all that flux stuff.
While it's restarting, they'll just have a nice time on the beach! They run outside, the tardis locks behind them with cool glowy cracks, and oh no they're just in some random building in the UK again and not the nice place they meant to be in
well oh well, it's alright, according to the sonic screwdriver, it's new years eve, and, there's a temporal distortion 2 floors upstairs!!!
meanwhile, the disgruntled owner of the building, Sarah, is being bombarded with text messages. This building is Elf Storage, where people can pay to rent out a room to put stuff in. Every year, that prick employee of hers, Jeff, ditches right before new year's eve and makes her come in to work at exactly 11:51pm in order to deal with that one customer, Nick, who is the kind of weirdo who goes in to a self storage facility to store a monopoly board game at 9 minutes before new years
Nick goes off to his storage room to put away his Monopoly board game, when suddenly the lights turn red and a strange noise is heard outside.
he goes out into the hallway, and there's a Dalek! Oh shit! Daleks have upgraded their guns: now they are CHAINGUNS! Rapid fire lasers! pewpewpewpewpew and Nick is fucking dead D:
Sarah gets a call from her mom, who is somewhat overbearing and doesn't really let sarah get any words in. Sarah hangs up in annoyance and sees that the elevator is being recalled back down to the lobby
but the doors open and, whoa it's the dalek! oh shit! pew pewepwpepwepwe Sarah is fucking dead!!!
then the doctor and yaz and dan burst in! oh god! two people have died! well you won't get away with this, dalek!
The Doctor uses her sonic screwdriver to jam the dalek's weapons but. oh shit! the daleks have upgraded their guns: now they are chainguns that are also immune to sonic screwdriver interference!
uh oh.
pewpewpewpewpewpe the docot and yaz and dan are fucking dead

Plus, that pesky doctor's old sonic jamming trick doesn't work on them! Could this be the end for the Doctor? the answer is yes.

Moral of the Story: Take a peek outside the tardis to make sure you actually landed on that beach you wanted to be at. Given how often the tardis takes you to a place you absolutely did not want to go, taking this second to ensure you are in a safe place first is quite vital when you are about to put the invincible all powerful tardis into an indeterminant period of dormancy to reboot itself. After all, you wouldn't want to be stuck somewhere dangerous while the tardis is completely unavailable to help you, not that it ended up really mattering in this particular instance. rip team doctor. looks like the daleks finally won

The Doctor, Yaz and Dan run out of their Tardis, confused looks over their faces.
Dan: "do you have a strange sense of deja vu?"
yeah no kidding dan. this is what like the fiftieth time that the tardis has taken them to a place they clearly weren't expecting to be in. Suddenly the tardis locks itself up with cool glowing cracks! Looks like wherever they are they are stuck. Not sure why but they say something confusing and cryptic about time and go running off to save someone. who the hell is nick?
okay looks like they landed in some self storage facility
okay that's nick
alright so the building owner is sarah? and they're having like the most incredibly awkward conversation i've ever heard
sarah's complaining about how she has had to come in for work at 11:52pm on new years eve, in order to deal with customers like Nick, who is a weirdo who goes to a self storage facility to store a monopoly board game at 8 minutes before midnight on new years eve
they keep saying lines and then trailing off in confusion
nick goes off to his storage area to put away that monopoly board game but halfway down the hallway, he realizes something, and turns around and bolts back to the lobby for some reason
meanwhile sarah, having stood around confused in the lobby and had a short, annoyed conversation with her overbearing mom on the phone, also suddenly realizes something, and tries to go out the door but there's a big forcefield blocking it??? Then she takes off bolting to go to the 5th floor, where that prick of an employee, Jeff, stores some of his own stuff
sarah needs a weapon to fight a robot or something? and she's hoping that some of jeff's stuff on the fifth floor will help her
jeff is a real shitty employee, calling out on new years eve even though he agreed to be there, and this is like the third new years eve in a row that he's done this to Sarah, and he is taking up an entire floor of the self storage facility to store some really weird stuff
like really weird
an entire storage room of taxidermies animals. useless, no weapons here
the next room
holiday and party supplies just everywhere. useless
the next room. shelves and shelves of cans of beans. what the fuck. it's just beans. cans of beans theres gotta be like ten thousand cans of beans in here, neatly stacked on the shelves, all the same flavor
holy fucking shit
the beans
anyway nick has run into the lobby hoping to save sarah, but she's not there. then oh shit it's a dalek! a dalek shows up, teleports in there! somehow nick knew about this dalek ahead of time and was trying to save sarah from it, but, unfortunately for nick, the dalek has some sweet new upgraded gun, it's a chain gun!! pew pewpewpewe
rest in peace nick
then the robot goes upstairs and catches sarah in the hallway, exiting the bean room! pewpewpew! and sarah is also dead
meanwhile, the doctor had gone to the hallway on the 2nd floor where nick was, but all they find is the monopoly board on the floor and his bag, but no nick. still not sure how they know who nick is
then they run to the lobby and now they find nick. they are too late
then the dalek comes back
the dalek mentions how the main entrance has been forcefield sealed so there is no escape, and that the dalek is seeking revenge for the events of the flux, in which the daleks were destroyed by that thanos dust wave, though the doctor tries to clarify that it was the sontarans who lured the daleks there
no matter, the dalek still wants to kill the doctor and pewpewepepwepwp they are all dead.

Moral of the Story: Honestly not sure what they could have done different in this one. I might have commented about looking outside the tardis to ensure you were in the right place, but like, that's probably what they were doing when they were exiting the tardis all confused in the first place. It's not like they could have known it would lock behind them with glowy cracks and stuff. still not sure what the deal with that was. Also like, daleks are really dangerous, them surviving daleks all this time has always been due to really good luck or something but this time they were completely unprotected and were pretty much screwed. something like this was bound to happen eventually. rest in peace.

honestly i was just as confused as the characters were in this episode. they kept acting on knowledge that i don't know where they got that knowledge from
like team doctor already knew about nick and sarah and the dalek, and nick and sarah were confused at first but gradually seemed to realize that a dalek was about to attack them somehow. honestly i guess we'll never find out the answer to these plot holes cause doctor who is over now. it's been fun writing these reviews everyone!!!

New Year's Special

So this is the new years eve special for 2021/2022!
We start off introduced to a woman named Sarah who owns a self storage facility. Her phone is constantly bombarded with texts and she seems very stressed cause she is sprinting from her lobby and into the elevator so she can get to the second floor.
apparently there's a customer there, Nick, who is apparently the kind of weirdo who is coming to a self-storage facility 6 minutes before new years eve.
Sarah tells Nick that the front door has been forcefielded shut but there's another exit in the basement and they gotta go
"what about those other guys?" nick asks, and sarah says that she doesn't care about them, it's their fault they are in this mess to begin with. not sure what that's about but off they go
meanwhile, it looks like yaz and dan and the doctor have arrived, and they are in this same building and they are heading up to the 5th floor
not sure yet what they are looking for, but the doctor is worried because her sonic screwdriver is detecting traces of two daleks in the building.
Dan stops the elevator they are in, and gets out in the lobby, assuring them that it will be alright. he's going to buy them time. He does an little dance around the dalek , who cannot rotate fast enough to shoot him, but eventually he gets blasted by the dalek's new rotary chaingun-like gun. damn. an honorable way to go but yeesh still kinda underwhelming. rip dan...
meanwhile the doctor and yaz are searching on the fifth floor for some stuff. apparently an employee, jeff, just stores his personal stuff here and is taking up an entire floor. and there is some weird fucking stuff. taxidermied animals, holiday and party supplies, and an entire room filled with neatly stacked cans of expired beans. there are thousands of beans in that room. then in the fourth room, they find a couch and tables and a bed, and basically it seems that jeff is living here. what a weirdo
in the fifth room there's volatile and explosive chemicals and while extremely dangerous and irresponsible for someone to store like this, quite fortunate for the doctor and yaz cause that could be useful for fighting the daleks.
but before they can actually put any of that to use, the dalek has caught up and guns them down. welp. shit.
oh yeah and nick and sarah go to the basement see the tardis which is locked with glowy cracks, they are confused by it but ultimately ignore it. they have a heart to heart while the second dalek stalks them and nick confesses that he knows that jeff is a kind of prick who calls out on new years every year and makes sarah come to work, and he comes on new years in a slightly-creepy attempt to keep her company. sarah also confesses that 'during the second time, she didn't run to save him, she ran off to find a weapon' don't know what that's about. a noodle incident sort of thing? but she feels guilty about lying to him about that but nick is understanding, but then the dalek finds them and shoots nick! oh no!!! sarah runs over to the exit door but can't make it in time before she too is shot down. pewpewpew.
kinda depressing episode. there's so many unanswered questions, and they all died. I guess some mysteries are never meant to be solved cause that's the end of doctor who.

Villain: a Dalek! These angry robots have plagued the doctor who show for decades, and they are now equipped with an enhanced chaingun for firing multiple rapid fire laser blasts in quick succession. however there is still a matter of aim, and if you can get close to a dalek and run circles around it, it will have difficulty getting you in its sights.

Moral of the Story: I really can't think of something for this one. They all did pretty well for what they had to work with, i guess. Maybe something about the Dalek should rotate faster, or maybe like, when your mom calls you on new years while daleks are attacking you should ask for help? obviously that wouldn't help in this scenario but like, generally speaking. i guess. idk. she just hung up on her mom. heck on a more somber note maybe like. take that phone call to say a sort of grim goodbye. oof. what a depressing way for doctor who to end.

He does an little dance around the dalek , who cannot rotate fast enough to shoot him, but eventually he gets blasted by the dalek's new rotary chaingun-like gun. damn. an honorable way to go but yeesh still kinda underwhelming. rip dan...
meanwhile the doctor and yaz are searching on the fifth floor for some stuff. apparently an employee, jeff, just stores his personal stuff here and is taking up an entire floor. and there is some weird fucking stuff. taxidermied animals, holiday and party supplies, and an entire room filled with neatly stacked cans of expired beans. there are thousands of beans in that room. then in the fourth room, they find a couch and tables and a bed, and basically it seems that jeff is living here. what a weirdo
in the fifth room there's volatile and explosive chemicals and while extremely dangerous and irresponsible for someone to store like this, quite fortunate for the doctor and yaz cause that could be useful for fighting the daleks.
but before they can actually put any of that to use, the dalek has caught up and guns them down. welp. shit.
oh yeah and nick and sarah go to the basement see the tardis which is locked with glowy cracks, they are confused by it but ultimately ignore it. they have a heart to heart while the second dalek stalks them and nick confesses that he knows that jeff is a kind of prick who calls out on new years every year and makes sarah come to work, and he comes on new years in a slightly-creepy attempt to keep her company. sarah also confesses that 'during the second time, she didn't run to save him, she ran off to find a weapon' don't know what that's about. a noodle incident sort of thing? but she feels guilty about lying to him about that but nick is understanding, but then the dalek finds them and shoots nick! oh no!!! sarah runs over to the exit door but can't make it in time before she too is shot down. pewpewpew.
kinda depressing episode. there's so many unanswered questions, and they all died. I guess some mysteries are never meant to be solved cause that's the end of doctor who.

Overall Rating:
Villain: a Dalek! These angry robots have plagued the doctor who show for decades, and they are now equipped with an enhanced chaingun for firing multiple rapid fire laser blasts in quick succession. however there is still a matter of aim, and if you can get close to a dalek and run circles around it, it will have difficulty getting you in its sights.
Deaths: Dan, Doctor, Yaz, Nick, Sarah
Births: none
Overall Death Rate: 5
Overall Rating: 6
Moral of the Story: I really can't think of something for this one. They all did pretty well for what they had to work with, i guess. Maybe something about the Dalek should rotate faster, or maybe like, when your mom calls you on new years while daleks are attacking you should ask for help? obviously that wouldn't help in this scenario but like, generally speaking. i guess. idk. she just hung up on her mom. heck on a more somber note maybe like. take that phone call to say a sort of grim goodbye. oof. what a depressing way for doctor who to end.

New Year's Special
SpoilerShow
So now that the Flux six-parter is over, the next episode is out and it's the new years special!!! I kinda like what I did last time with a sort of glossary at the beginning, so I will try that. Even though as, we are about to see, this episode is kinda confusing, so, i'll try my best. Hopefully it will make the episode not as confusing as it could end up being...
We got the Doctor and Yaz and Dan obviously. Companions. They've traveled a lot together, Dan is relatively new but Yaz has been there for several years now.
Sarah is a lady who owns a self storage facility. She's funny and exasperated and cool
Nick: a customer, who is kind of a weirdo for going to store things at a self-storage facility 5 minutes before new years eve.
Jeff, sarah's employee. he doesn't actually show up, but he called out on new years eve (for the third year in a row) which is why sarah is at work so late. Also has a ton of stuff stored on the 5th floor.
Sarah's Mom: she just calls sarah on the phone. she is somewhat overbearing and silly in the way stereotypical moms can be.
Daleks: the most famous enemy of doctor who. they are very loud and angry and like to shoot people to death
So Sarah is in the lobby of her facility, and Team Doctor run in to talk to her. Doctor asks Sarah 'what happened to meeting us on the fifth floor like we agreed' and sarah says she just wanted to escape through the basement and it's the doctor's fault that they are in this mess to begin with
oh yeah i guess uh
they are just in this building and daleks are around and attacking them or something
the doctor clarifies that yes, the daleks are here specifically to kill her, but that they should still follow the plans that the doctor has because the doctor has a plan and it's good
but first the doctor says, "stay here, i'm going to get nick"
nick is out in some hallway and has two daleks, one at either side of him...
they have these chaingun laser guns now but nick ducks and the daleks shoot each other and explode!
the doctor arrives and commends nick on his clever strategy, and brings him back to the lobby
the doctor says that they need to follow her plan to defeat the daleks: Sarah and Nick go straight to the fifth floor and get some volatile chemicals that jeff stores up there, and bring it down to the basement, and also Sarah needs to ask her mom to call 10 seconds before midnight. Meanwhile, the doctor will set up a bomb that will use the phonecall as a detonate and the chemicals as a payload. But then before they can actually do that, a dalek shows up and shoots them all down....
welp.
shit.
Overall Rating:
Villain: a Dalek! Yeah they have a chaingun now. Pew pew pew pew, shoot really fast now. Still vulnerable to their own laser blasts though so yeah if you can trick them into shooting each other that will work.
Deaths: Doctor, Yaz, Dan, Sarah, Nick, two Daleks
Births: none
Overall Death Rate: 7
Overall Rating: 5
Moral of the Story: If you and your buddy have surrounded a guy and are about to shoot him, make sure you aren't in the path of each other's attacks, like, in case you miss or something. basic gun safety. Make sure only the people that you want to shoot are in the path of your lasers.

New Year's Special
SpoilerShow
This episode is supposed to be a new years special but honestly it was really short. Doctor who has done short little shorts before, like, 4 minutes long, a couple minutes long, just short little specials. But this one was really short and it's....
it's something.
We see some lady in a lobby, who runs up into an elevator, and a Dalek teleports in behind her and shoots the elevator's powerbox, leaving the lady trapped in the elevator. She doesn't stand a chance as she gets shot several times by the new Dalek laser chaingun.
there's also some guy in a room with some junk when the lights go out... he stumbles around before he too gets shot by daleks
then in a different dark room, we see a Tardis with glowy cracks, and the Doctor, Yaz and Dan standing in front of it. "oh this isn't good, it will be hard to execute this plan in the dark... they're learning" says the doctor, "stay here while i try to sort stuff out"
the doctor uses her sonic screwdriver as a flashlight and leaves yaz and dan to stand in front of the tardis.
yaz: "i wish she would stop just leaving us like that"
dan: "you really like her don't you... have you told her how you feel"
yaz: "i... don't think i've even told myself."
i knew i was getting those vibes from yaz throughout the entire flux storyline. yaz totally likes the doctor... like, like likes her. it was not at all subtle. was very quite obvious. practically was spelled out. doesn't matter now though cause two daleks show up on either side of yaz and dan and shoot them dead. damn
and then the doctor gets shot too
absolutely brutal
Overall Rating:
Villain: a Dalek! often touted as the most dangerous monster in the doctor who universe, when the daleks actually use their brains and strategize they can really show it. Disabling the power to escape routes, cutting the lights. Team Doctor didn't stand a chance, and the chaingun thing was just brutal.
Deaths: Doctor, Yaz, Dan, some lady, some guy
Births: none
Overall Death Rate: 5
Overall Rating: 4
Moral of the Story: I don't even know what was going on and to be frank I'm not sure if anything could have been done. Maybe yaz and dan could've ducked? but like, seriously, that wouldn't have worked, daleks are way too smart to shoot each other in such a ridiculous manner.
That's the end everyone. Rest in peace doctor who.
They didn't stand a chance.

New Year's Special
SpoilerShow
So we open up this episode in some basement. Team Doctor are down there, and somethings happened to the tardis cause it's cracked and glowy, and they sure look troubled. Doctor says something about how it's getting one minute shorter each time, and that there's only three minutes left until midnight. this is the new years special, are they really going to cram 45 minutes of material into 3 minutes? well. it is a time travel show so i guess we'll see.
Doctor asks Yaz to go fetch Sarah and Nick. Yaz doesn't want to be separated but Doctor reassures her: Doctor is aware that yaz is upset about leaving yaz out of plans and constantly leaving to do dangerous things while leaving yaz in the dark about what's really going on, but there's not a lot of time left and it is urgent that sarah and nick get down there.
So yaz goes off and does that while doctor and dan wait and poke around .
Dan: "she really likes you, you know"
Doctor: "yeah?"
Dan: "NO, she, like. LIKE likes you. "
Doctor: "??"
(the doctor is an alien remember)
anyway that was kinda weird and out of the blue but i'm glad Dan was picking up on those vibes that yaz was giving off throughout the entirety of the flux storyline
then they find boxes near the tardis that are full of fireworks, apparently some guy named Jeff left them here, in an incredibly irresponsible way.
Finally we meet the Sarah and Nick the doctor mentioned earlier, as Yaz comes back with them. The Doctor informs that she has a new plan to help counteract the counterplans that the daleks have been planning
"Since the daleks are apparently also in the time loop, they are learning what our plan is, so what we should do, is spend the next loop doing the opposite of what our actual plan is, so during the final loop when it will actually matter, we will do our actual plan and they won't know to stop us."
Ohh so they are in a timeloop, alright
"also it's the same plan that we already had, just we need to do the distraction loop first. the next loop will be two minutes long so we distract them, and then the final loop will be 1 minute long and we do the plan in that one. I don't know what happens when it reaches midnight so we gotta make it count"
they all agree to the plan.
then the daleks finally arrive
honestly dunno why it took the daleks so long, it was implied that the daleks absolutely wiped the floor with them in a matter of seconds during the last loop, so why don't the daleks just... do the same thing again?
anyway the doctor brags that they have a super special plan to beat the daleks, so the daleks better pay attention during the next loop. Then they all get exterminated.
so
am i not in the time loop?
is that why i didn't get to see any of the past loops?
how does that work?
wait so i guess i won't see the next loop either.
welp
shit

Moral of the Story: I think maybe since the Daleks remember the past loops and can teleport at will into specific parts of the building that maybe they should just teleport to the starting positions of everyone immediately and kill them before they can actually do anything. That might have been what happened during the last loop but I think if it was then they would have just done it again during this loop so i guess not. Daleks aren't that smart I guess.
How many of these have I written?

New Year's Special
SpoilerShow
This was a weird episode. It's a new years eve special and it's really short. We start at 11:58, two minutes before midnight on new years eve, and there are daleks and everyone is goofing around
there's some guy in a room full of junk, taunting a dalek to shoot all of his stuff (the dalek obliges). The guy says that it was cathartic seeing the dalek dispose of his ex-girlfriends's stuff, but then he too is killed
there's some lady and honestly i don't remember what she was doing i feel like it's been a whole year since I watched this episode. get it? cause it's a new years eve episode aired dec 31st 2021, and now it's 2022, so i haven't seen it since last year? that's a real funny joke I bet no one has made that one before. Too bad it's not actually true, I actually watched this episode like half a week later on january 3rd along with part 6 of the flux series. but. it still feels like it's been a long time since I watched it so I'm getting foggy on the details. god it's 3:30am??? how long did i spend writing the flux review??
(edit: oh and turns out the episode aired on january 1st so this joke doesn't even work)
oh and doctor yaz and dan are chilling in some room that has a bed and a couch and tables and they're just hanging out, laughing and taunting. "alright, right after this is the big one so get ready" they brace themselves as the dalek mows them down with its fancy new chaingun laser thing. probably got it for christmas.
Honestly I'm not sure if I should be taking this episode seriously. It was so short and like, everyone just seemed to be having a good time and, then they just died. Clearly like a comic-relief episode. Maybe an april fool's day special. But it's the wrong day of the year for that. a really clever april fool's day prank would be to do the prank on a different way, but, that just sort of feels against the spirit of april fool's day, and just, makes it a regular boring prank. oh well. i gotta take a shit
(cause i've been sitting here for so long)
Overall Rating:
Villain: a Dalek! they're just some funny guys who like to shoot people. imagine if they gave real daleks a chain gun. that would be so silly and corny, i glad they didn't use that in a real episode. what a goof.

New Year's Special
SpoilerShow
HOLY CRAP RUN RUN RUN!!!
SOME LADY RUNS UP THE STAIRS
THERES AN ELEVATOR BUT FUCK THAT
THERES DALEKS SHOOTING LASERS ALL OVER THE PLACE
HOLY SHIT CHAINGUN LASERS!??!
THEY CANT AIM FOR SHIT
SO MANY LASERS HOW ARE NONE OF THEM CONNECTING
SOME GUY TOO
RUNS UP THE STAIRS
MORE DALEKS
MISSING EVERY SHOT
LADY GETS A CALL ON HER PHONE
ITS HER MOM
"HEY MOM SHUT Up CALL me in 10 seconds before midnight"
"what so like, 40 seconds from now?"
"yea okay bye" and she hangs up
the guy and the girl both arrive at the same time to this room full of like chemicals and shit? they grab like, a shit ton of stuff and boxes and leave and go to the elevator and head down to the basement
meanwhile, the daleks haven't caught up yet?
it's the doctor!!
the doctor has used the sonic screwdriver to place false life signals in the wrong parts of the buildings so that the daleks are going to the wrong places!!
they all get to the basement!
fireworks!! already in a pile!
chemicals! onto the pile!
phone! onto the pile!
sonic screwdriver turns out the lights!!!
daleks: DARKNESS DETECTED NIGHT VISION MODE ACTIVATED ERROR THE DOCTOR HAS INTERFERED WITH OUR DARK VISION
wow that's a powerful sonic screwdriver, capable of doing all sorts of things to the daleks
why not just jam their guns
oh well!
everyone out the back door!!!
daleks! can't see well! find pile!!!
phone rings: "hey daughter it's me, your mom who is calling you 10 seconds before midnight, like you asked me to do 40 seconds ago'
daleks: human detected speaking from that pile, exterminate!
daleks shoot the pile of fireworks and chemicals and the building fucking collapses and gives a beautiful firework display!!!!!
wow!!! how lovely!!!
the mom somewhere, probably: 'holy shit daughter are you okay it sounds like you got shot by lasers, exploded by a million fireworks and had a 6 story building collapse on you! daughter? hello? daughter? oh god? happy new years by the way! daughter? hello? you alright?"
how the hell did they do all that running and dodging in 60 seconds!??!!
holy fuck they ran from ground floor to the 5th floor to the basement in 50 seconds??
what the hell is going on
what the fuck
is that fucking
Karl from the tooth fairy episode 3 years ago
it is
it's fucking karl from the tooth fairy episode 3 years ago
you know
karl
"that's a nice firework display"
it is a nice firework display
you are very lucky to be witnessing this firework display from far away, unaware of what is going on where this firework display is
well
nice seeing you karl
very strange seeing you again
i totally definitely recognized you and definitely absolutely knew who you are without looking at the doctor who wiki
it's due to the fact that i recognized you as having been in that tooth fairy episode 3 years ago that i knew you were karl from the tooth fairy episode
Otherwise I might have assumed you were just some random passerby who had a name like jeff or something,
Or maybe someone who actually was related, like perhaps the person who stored those fireworks in that building in the first place, and the dramatic irony is that they don't realize that it's their fireworks that are exploding and that also all their other things in that building are now also destroyed.
But it isn't that, it's just karl!
golly
what the heck was even going on in this episode
them all rushing around everywhere
no explanation
why were there daleks there
how were they able to do everything so fast
how come the daleks, famous for being incredibly powerful and durable able to be defeated by a few measly hundreds of fireworks and a mere 6 story building falling on them and maybe some chemicals? like i feel like the daleks from the past would have been completely unphased by something like that but apparently those daleks are fucking dead
the guy and the girl go off to travel the world together
team doctor go into the tardis which looks all renovated and stuff for some reason
karl continues to not matter

Overall Rating:
Villain: Daleks! These soft squishy tentacle monsters like to live inside a little robot and drive around shouting mean things at people and shooting lasers! now that they have a chain gun, they can shoot so many more lasers in a short amount of time. you'd think this may help but the spread is crazy and the aiming is terrible. maybe you should go back to your old laser gun? You were a lot better at hitting targets back then.
Deaths: like three or four daleks? maybe five?
Births: one new tardis!
Overall Death Rate: 2-4
Overall Rating: 1.... Happy New Years!
Moral of the Story: too be honest i don't think there was much that could be done. Team Doctor really knocked it out of the park, the daleks didn't stand a chance. maybe if the daleks had better aim but like, idk if that's a fault of bad decision-making, except maybe not practicing or going to aiming school beforehand. Honestly, if your opponents are apparently capable of running at ridiculous speeds and also using a sonic screwdriver to mess with your senses, I don't think you stand a chance.
Good work Team Doctor, you won so fast I don't even know the context behind anything that happened in this episode. Especially karl. That was quite an interesting cameo.
shoutout to karl, the cameo no one expected, but the cameo we needed
oh yeah also the time loop was caused by the tardis resetting.
you thought i didn't know about the time loop
but it was a trick, i deceived you
I did know about the time loop.
I knew about the time loop the entire time, i was just pretending that i didn't know, and you believed me
the wool was pulled over your eyes
SOME LADY RUNS UP THE STAIRS
THERES AN ELEVATOR BUT FUCK THAT
THERES DALEKS SHOOTING LASERS ALL OVER THE PLACE
HOLY SHIT CHAINGUN LASERS!??!
THEY CANT AIM FOR SHIT
SO MANY LASERS HOW ARE NONE OF THEM CONNECTING
SOME GUY TOO
RUNS UP THE STAIRS
MORE DALEKS
MISSING EVERY SHOT
LADY GETS A CALL ON HER PHONE
ITS HER MOM
"HEY MOM SHUT Up CALL me in 10 seconds before midnight"
"what so like, 40 seconds from now?"
"yea okay bye" and she hangs up
the guy and the girl both arrive at the same time to this room full of like chemicals and shit? they grab like, a shit ton of stuff and boxes and leave and go to the elevator and head down to the basement
meanwhile, the daleks haven't caught up yet?
it's the doctor!!
the doctor has used the sonic screwdriver to place false life signals in the wrong parts of the buildings so that the daleks are going to the wrong places!!
they all get to the basement!
fireworks!! already in a pile!
chemicals! onto the pile!
phone! onto the pile!
sonic screwdriver turns out the lights!!!
daleks: DARKNESS DETECTED NIGHT VISION MODE ACTIVATED ERROR THE DOCTOR HAS INTERFERED WITH OUR DARK VISION
wow that's a powerful sonic screwdriver, capable of doing all sorts of things to the daleks
why not just jam their guns
oh well!
everyone out the back door!!!
daleks! can't see well! find pile!!!
phone rings: "hey daughter it's me, your mom who is calling you 10 seconds before midnight, like you asked me to do 40 seconds ago'
daleks: human detected speaking from that pile, exterminate!
daleks shoot the pile of fireworks and chemicals and the building fucking collapses and gives a beautiful firework display!!!!!
wow!!! how lovely!!!
the mom somewhere, probably: 'holy shit daughter are you okay it sounds like you got shot by lasers, exploded by a million fireworks and had a 6 story building collapse on you! daughter? hello? daughter? oh god? happy new years by the way! daughter? hello? you alright?"
how the hell did they do all that running and dodging in 60 seconds!??!!
holy fuck they ran from ground floor to the 5th floor to the basement in 50 seconds??
what the hell is going on
what the fuck
is that fucking
Karl from the tooth fairy episode 3 years ago
it is
it's fucking karl from the tooth fairy episode 3 years ago
you know
karl
"that's a nice firework display"
it is a nice firework display
you are very lucky to be witnessing this firework display from far away, unaware of what is going on where this firework display is
well
nice seeing you karl
very strange seeing you again
i totally definitely recognized you and definitely absolutely knew who you are without looking at the doctor who wiki
it's due to the fact that i recognized you as having been in that tooth fairy episode 3 years ago that i knew you were karl from the tooth fairy episode
Otherwise I might have assumed you were just some random passerby who had a name like jeff or something,
Or maybe someone who actually was related, like perhaps the person who stored those fireworks in that building in the first place, and the dramatic irony is that they don't realize that it's their fireworks that are exploding and that also all their other things in that building are now also destroyed.
But it isn't that, it's just karl!
golly
what the heck was even going on in this episode
them all rushing around everywhere
no explanation
why were there daleks there
how were they able to do everything so fast
how come the daleks, famous for being incredibly powerful and durable able to be defeated by a few measly hundreds of fireworks and a mere 6 story building falling on them and maybe some chemicals? like i feel like the daleks from the past would have been completely unphased by something like that but apparently those daleks are fucking dead
the guy and the girl go off to travel the world together
team doctor go into the tardis which looks all renovated and stuff for some reason
karl continues to not matter
very interesting episode
hope she called her mom back
