doctor who and ruby go back in time to visit the Beatles recording their first album! But wait.... their music is like, way better than it normally is!!! just listen to this I've Got A Dog - The Beatles (Doctor Who)
also, while finding that clip i found this meme which i really like "the doctor and ruby listen to the beatles play a dog themed song"

it's what i expected out of the video prior
Timu — Yesterday at 10:46 PM

i totally forgot about the meme. When i went to look for the doctor who version so that I can post it here, i accidentally found the hot car edit and thought it was very funny

horrified at how the timeline has changed, doctor who and ruby investigate! All around the world, people dislike music and think it's gross! and without music, people are bitter and angry and such and there are wars and the world is going to end by 2024 if Doctor doesn't fix it! They discover the cause:
It's a cool character named Maestro! Like their father, Toymaker from three episodes ago, they are a super god being from beyond the universe with reality altering abilites! Their powers are music based! They love music! especially eating music! yum yum yum! that's why no one likes the concept of music anymore, since Maestro ate it all up!
As time travellers who just arrived, Doctor and Ruby are the last people around who still have music, and Maestro is going to get them! First Maestro tries to eat Ruby, but because of Ruby's Mysterious Past™️ Maestro says "i ain't fucking with that" then Doctor challenges Maestro to a music battle and Doctor wins somehow, giving Doctor the chance to compose the magical Banishing Song! the Doctor gets the first few notes right but fucks it up at the end, so Maestro starts murdering them but then the Beatles arrive. Their locked away spark of musical inspiration manages to shine through- they complete the banishing song and Maestro gets sent back to outside of the universe!
Then they use the residual magic left behind and they all have a dance party, happy ending!

Main Villain: Maestro Arbinger! (they/them)
they are basically omnipotent as long as it is related to music! Some displayed abilities: They have doctor octopus tentacles made out of musical notation! They can use pianos as portals, telekinesis on musical instruments, kill people by ripping the music out of them, detect when and where music is being played, damage stuff with resonant frequency, force people to sing, cram people into musical instruments to squish and hurt them.
the doctor uses his sonic screwdriver to cast Silence in the area, which works briefly, until Maestro uses water as a medium for sound as a Counterspell.
a mysterious kid named Henry Arbinger (H.Arbinger, get it?) tricked his music teacher to play the forbidden Summoning Song to bring Maestro into the universe. What is Henry's deal? He called Maestro 'father' and the once he served his purpose Maestro poofed henry out of existence. then later at the end of the episode Henry poked his head out of a door briefly so that the audience would know he's still around.
-------
Deaths: one composer/musical teacher, one old lady who played a piano, and the entire human population in a possible apocalyptic timeline, Maestro (desummoned), Henry Arbinger (poofed)
Births: one Maestro (summoned), Henry Arbinger (unpoofed????), the entire human population (dystopian timeline averted)
Death Rate: 2 people were murderized
Moral of the story: without music, people will turn evil and declare nuclear wars i guess
Overall Rating: 9.5/10. It was a really good episode. I love reality-fucky stuff and villains who are really cool and interesting. I love the use of sound in the episode, like the part where the Doctor deleted sound so it was just completely quiet, and also the part where Maestro fucked with the episode's diegetic/non-diegetic music and other similar fourth-wally stuff.

uh oh! it's a scary war in the future!
It's the Christian Church vs an enemy force that I forgot the name of, The Krapstoolians or something
as we all know, in the future, the christian church becomes a military group
two Priests are heading back to their home base, and one of them is temporarily blinded. the other steps on a landmine and explodes, and then a church ambulance robot, attracted by the sound of violence, approaches the blinded guy. "hmmm looks like you'll take like 4 weeks to get your eyesight back. i'll euthanize you"
then the ambulance shoves him into a jar
the doctor hears the screaming and comes to help, but he steps on the landmine!! oh no! but he doesnt set it off because he starts to stand very still, leaving the explosion loading progress paused at 95%. why does the mine have a loading bar? "Capitalism," the doctor explains, "The Space Weapons corporation profits off of war and people like to buy thing with cool lights on them"
Ruby finds the jar that blinded guy was stuffed into, and it has a hologram attached to it.
Blinded Dad AI: "Hi i'm Blinded Dad AI, an artificial intelligence based on the personality of Blinded Dad. can you please deliver my remains to my next of kin, which is my daughter?"
then Daughter shows up. "I got an email from my dad saying he was here, where is he?"
Blinded Dad AI: "hey daughter i'm dead"
then a Woman priest soldier shows up: "hey what the heck is going on here??? Doctor are you a bad guy who is trying to steal that dead guy's jar? i'm going to shoot you, lightly, as a warning"
then the Ambulance shows up: "hey, i heard shooting, is there a patient I need to treat? They better not have any injuries, such as having two time lord hearts instead of one human heart, otherwise i'll murder them!"
Woman: "oops, sorry i realize that you doctor are not a bad guy, i will help save you from the ambulance. Ruby, you should shoot my lightly on my arm to distract the ambulance"
then a Man priest soldier shows up: "hey Ruby! you are about to shoot Woman, who i have a crush on! I'll shoot you!"
Ruby: "ow fuck i'm dying."
Ambulance: "oh more shooting? hmmm lets see, this patient is Ruby... Age is like 3000 since this is the future, and your next of kin is <ERROR: Mysterious Past™️>, and looks like you aren't a member of the church so i'll let you die, lol."
Man: oops, i realize, that you ruby are not a bad guy, i will help save you, by hacking the ambulance so it will help you. by the way, woman, i have a crush on you i like /like/ you
Woman: omg, i love you too
Ambulance: hey, stop hacking me. that's it, you're going in a jar. lol. lmao.
Man: i'm dead now. i'm in a jar.
Woman: nooo!!! tragedy!
Doctor: the only way to get the ambulance and landmines to turn off is to end the war! just surrender! just give up!
Woman: would if I could! But i'm just a lowly soldier!
Daughter: I'm still here btw, and i'm in the blast radius of the landmine
Blind Dad AI: I must protect my daughter. I am an AI so I will hack the war company
War company: we like war and killing people for profit, so stop that.
Blind Dad AI: *hacker sunglasses* i'm in
Ambulance: okay i'll save Ruby and also the war is over
and they all lived happily ever after , the end

Overall Rating:
Main Villain: Space Big Pharma but for Weapons
This evil corporation supplies arms to both sides of wars, and has algorithms that have calculated the ideal casualty rate to maximize profits! because if people die, then the survivors have to buy weapons to replace them and fight back! And those Krapstoolians that the Church was fighting? not even real. Those were just the corporations auto-turrets and landmines and stuff enforcing the ideal casualty rate. #hashtag #money #profit
Deaths: 3 priest soldiers died in the episode and presumably many more died in the war, generally speaking
Births: 2 soldiers were turned into Jar AIs
Birth Rate: -1, because people blown up by landmines do not get to be jars.
Moral of the story: a well known phenomenom is the burst of adreneline that parents have when their children are in danger. This is called Hysterical strength. But did you know it also gives you l33t hacker skills? Oh also corporations are evil, don't trust them, etc etc
Overall Rating: 8/10 I liked this episode too
