doctor who
it's the doctor who christmas special of 2024!
or is it 2025?
well it aired in 2024 so it's the 2024 christmas special
the year is 4202! humans have invented time travel and they have built a Time Hotel! it's a hotel except all the doors to the rooms just lead to hotel rooms in various time periods throughout history
the doctor is visiting to get some free coffee from the lobby when he notices something strange! there's a guy with a briefcase handcuffed to his wrist! and he's just standing there, staring blankly ahead! very creepy! Doctor recruits one of the hotel staff (companion #1) to help investigate.
the hotel staff (companion #1) should follow the briefcase guy and the doctor will take a look around the hotel (he's going off to goof around and play with the time portals)
doctor: "the time hotel is the answer to life's greatest mystery! why do hotel rooms sometimes have a random door that is just locked all the time?"
that's not a thing i've ever experienced in real life but okay
when a hotel room in the present is vacant, the people in 4202 can come and rent the room and make sure to leave before local people come to use the room
somehow this has worked just fine and caused no issues
shoutout to the people in 4202 who have managed to invent, by far, the most stable form of time travel seen so far in this show
Meanwhile!
the briefcase guy has gone to the bar! and he approaches the bartender and says "the star seed will bloom and the flesh will rise!" and hands him the briefcase! the handcuff detaches itself and attaches itself to the bartender and then takes over his mind! and the first guy who held it starts to panic and then disintentegrates!
Then the bartender gives the briefcase to the hotel staff guy that the doctor recruited! (Companion #1) the handcuff attach itself to companion #1 and then the bartender disintegrates!
then companion #1 takes the briefcase to the hotel manager and then it takes over the hotel manager! oh no! now the evil briefcase has unrestricted access to all the time portals!!!!!!!
While Doctor is playing with the portals, Briefcased Manager walks past and Doctor recognizes that it is the same briefcase as before and follows him. The briefcase chooses a door to modern day london, christmas 2024, where he is confronted by a bewildered lady named Joy who was staying in the room! Doctor follows in and tries to interrogate the briefcase, while the briefcase tries to pass itself to the doctor, and they both ignore Joy. Joy says hey! can you explain what's going on! why are you in my room! why is briefcase guy wearing a halloween costume to look like an alien from the future? why are you ignoring me! hey! I'm going to take the briefcase if that means you'll stop ignoring me!
oh nO! now Joy has the briefcase and the manager tries telling his tragic backstory but disintegrates before he can finish!
the doctor opens up the briefcase against Joy's protest and learns several things about the briefcase!
the briefcase doesn't do full mind control, it's more like a hypnotic control which can be broken by high emotions like rage or stress! and inside the briefcase is a star seed, which is a little baby plant seed that will grow up to be a star when it grows up big and strong!
the briefcase threatens to disintegrate Joy if they don't close the case and enter the passcode! but they don't know the passcode! Fortunately the time hotel has super duper stable time travel, and Future Doctor enters the room to tell Past Doctor what the password is!
Crisis averted! Future Doctor takes Joy and the briefcase out of the room and tells Past Doctor that he's going to "have to take the long way around", and locks Past Doctor in 2024 and disables the time portal
So now the Doctor is in 2024. Fortunately, he doesn't have to hang out for 2178 years to get back to the time hotel! he saw in the time hotel brochure that he can visit the Fancier Hotel in modern day london 2025 for another time portal. he still has to wait a year though. He's gonna need a place to stay, and he's going to need a job, fortunately, he's already at the Loser Hotel and the loser hotel manager is chill af
loser hotel manager's name is Anita (companion #2) and she fucking rules
the doctor becomes her employee and uses his whacky shenanigans
it's a great montage
anita fucking rules
Doctor fixes the microwave and also makes it bigger on the inside
Doctor upgrades the broom to levitate itself to sweep autonomously
serving customers at the food part, using psychic paper to see what food their heart desires and to prepare it ahead of time
upgrades Anita's car
and anita is so chill
she fucking rules
Doctor and Anita also have board game night
they basically just hang out for a year
excellent
but then Christmas 2025 comes around and they have to part ways. good bye anita i'm sorry the cowards at doctor who incorporated aren't going to make you the star of the show from now on for the next 50 years of doctor who
Doctor takes the time portal to leave 2025 to go back to the the time hotel, and then do all that stuff Future Doctor did earlier
his knowledge of the briefcase passcode was simply bootstrapped in
now that things have calmed down, the briefcase reasserts control over Joy to resume its mission! Find the portal to dinosaur times!
the star seed needs about 65 million years to cook before it can blossom into an actual straight up star to incinerate the earth
the briefcase was made by the Evil Space Weapons Corporation! (aka Space Big Pharma But For Weapons)! these guys have been making fucked up weapons, like that landmine episode from last season
their plan is to use Time Hotel's super stable time portals to cook the star seed into a Dyson Sphere level energy source
after the briefcase is done explaining its evil plan, suddenly a T-Rex shows up, gets controlled by the briefcase, and starts destroying the little treehouse that they were in
Doctor and Joy manage to escape back through the time portal to the Time Hotel but now they have left the star seed back in the past and the invincible all powerful Tardis only does Regular Time Travel instead of the time hotel's super stable time travel so they can't go back
Doctor gets a call on his phone from the hotel staff guy Companion #1 from the start of the episode . unfortunately he got fucking disintegrated after he passed on the briefcase and so he's super dead but fortunately the briefcase absorbs the souls of all its victims into its code so he's just been in there for 65 million years hacking the programming. He is able to tell Doctor that, in the past 65 million years, the briefcase has passed through many hosts and even become the idol of a small religion, and is now housed in a temple in Room 48!
They have 5 minutes to get the briefcase out of the altar and stop it from turning into miasma of incandescent plasma and incinerating earth!
the doctor runs around, gathering junk from the time portals he explored while he was goofing off in order to macguyver the altar open, and then Joy opens the briefcase and eats the star seed
she gets super duper super powers and says her farewells
oh i forgot to mention , she wasn't disintegrated when the briefcase was passed to the T-Rex because the doctor insulted her and called her a loser idiot to make her mad enough that the hypnosis got broken, which i guess also dispels the disintegration effect apparently
anyway, as a former host of the briefcase, she still has its star seed containment powers and she along with all the other briefcase victim's souls transform into an amalgamate sentient star and flies harmlessly off into space, where it serves as a beacon of hope
there is a montage of this star gleaming in all the time periods that we had visited through the episode, giving hope to all the side characters we encountered
and we see in 2020, Joy's last regret, where she was unable to say goodbye to her dying mother in the hospital, well she wasn't able to say goodbye as a human, but she can do it as a flaming star in the sky by disintegrating her mom and absorbing her soul, but like, in a merry christmassy wholesome way where it's a happy ending
the episode ends with the reveal that all along this has been the origin story of the Star of Bethlehem, which was featured in the bible in Jesus's origin story
Overall Rating:
Main Villain: Space Big Pharma but for Weapons
This evil corporation wants to create a star to harness its energy to help it do the sort of evil things that it has done in previous episodes. #hashtag #money #profit . Unfortunately a star seed takes 65 million years to ferment, and they only have loser idiot time travel which is vulnerable to paradoxes and stuff. But it's enough to go from the year 5087 to the year 4202, where useful flawless time travel exists but is used exclusively as a tourist attraction. All they gotta do is use a briefcase with hypnosis powers to infiltrate this hotel, even though this hotel doesn't appear to have any form of security measures. Let's give the briefcase the power to disintegrate people and absorb their souls! Also, let's make a cool handcuff that moves around like a snake! Hell yeah! #thanos #souls #snakes
Deaths: briefcase guy, bartender, companion #1, hotel manager, Joy and Joy's mom, a T-rex and 65 million years worth of hosts
Births: the Christmas Star and jesus (off screen)
Birthrate:
Moral of the story: So let's say you have perfected time travel. You've made a hotel full of time portals, where guests can just go to the past and just hang out unsupervised and it will be fine. Paradoxes are simply not a concern. You can even use hotel rooms that already exist, constructed in the past! Oh, except for the dinosaur era room. There weren't humans back then, so we'll have to build that room ourselves, using time travel. So with this hypothetical in mind, the moral of the story is, if you are a time traveler constructing a hotel room in the dinosaur era, maybe don't make it out of flimsy wood which is vulnerable to T-Rex
Overall Rating: 01/5.8 (because that's 8.5/10 backwards)
Pretty good episode. I'm always a fan of episodes that make great use to time travel. I loved the references to Doctor Who lore during the 1 year montage with companion #2. I love Companion #2. Anita fucking rules she's chill af and she fucking rules and she's great. Hotel staff Companion #1 was also great. His time was short lived but he was truly a memorable and enjoyable character who was also great. I'm less endeared to Joy who was Companion #3. Unfortunately she was just hypnotized by a briefcase for half of her screentime and she just didn't get that much time to shine (metaphorically). (non-metaphorically, she had plenty of time to shine since she turned into a star)
Shoutout to Trev, sorry i just called you 'hotel staff companion #1' the whole time
shoutout to anita i wish that doctor who visits you often and you can just hang out and chill wit hthe doctor every friday for the next million years

Dr 15 Season 2 Episode 1
Show Content
Spoiler
This is a fun episode that features the bootstrap paradox, and I think a fun thing I will try is to review it in chronological order, from the perspective of history on the planet Missbelindachandra 1
I hope y'all know what the bootstrap paradox is, here's a good clip that has a hypothetical example of a bootstrap paradox https://youtu.be/u4SEDzynMiQ?si=o0IQQbTgeNZ-wJKm
So we go now to this alien planet. The year is Sometime in the Past, and the Doctor pops out of his tardis. He says "Hello, i have an important paper to leave here, because it's important to the bootstrap paradox. I didn't get around to doing it at the end of Episode 1, so this scene is actually going to occur in Dr 15 Season 2 Episode 8, presumably." then he gets in his tardis and leaves.
The native humanoids on this planet look at the paper. Apparently, on Earth, there's a thing where you can name a star after someone. This certificate states that their star is MissBelindaChandra. And so, the planet of Missbelindachandra 1 was thus also named, and Missbelindachandrakind were able to found their Missbelindachandracivilization.
The year is now 2008. Let's take a brief detour to see what's going on on Earth. a young couple are having a romantic evening on a bench, gazing up at the stars.
Alan: I'm the boyfriend. Do you see that star up there? I named it after you.
Belinda Chandra: wow neat! But why did you put Miss as part of the name?
Alan: because you aren't married
Belinda: uhh ok
Alan: *gets down on one knee* Also, will you make me the happiest man in my life and get married to me? Oh, and before I forget, will you stay in the kitchen and not be allowed to vote? I only get two paragraphs of dialogue and I was running out of time to let the audience know that I was actually a misogynist this whole time.
Belinda: no
and so, a rejected Alan went home to play video games, when suddenly in through his walls burst big fancy robots!
Robots: Hey, we come from the year 2025. We were sent by Queen Miss Belinda Chandra to get you because you were the one who named our star system! Also, this planet has a Time Fucker surrounding the planet, which means all travel to and from the planet will happen out of order, so that's how this whole bootstrap paradox thing is happening.
The year is now 2015. Alan has arrived on Missbelindachandra One from 2008.
Missbelindachandracivilians: "Welcome Alan! Thanks for naming our Missbelindachandracountry! That makes you Missbelindachandraking!"
Alan: And my first order as king is to fuck up everything. Humans shouldn't have any basic rights, and if anyone attempts to rebel, I shall order the Missbelindachandrabots to do a Missbelindachandramurder on the Missbelindachandrebels using Missbelindachandraweaponry.
Robots: i guess we have to obey and kill the humans
Alan: holy moly you guys are actually killing humans, this kinda rules actually? Keep up the good work. Oh and go fetch Belinda Chandra from earth so she can be my queen.
Robots: yessir
The year is now 2024. The doctor has arrived on the planet, he's here to rescue Belinda!
Doctor: "Wait... i'm 6 months to early? oh, there's a time fucker around the planet. Let me just get back into my invincible all powerful Tardis to deal with that."
Robots: You walked too far away from the tardis and now we are standing between you and the tardis so you can't get back to it.
Doctor: darn! i guess i'll have to join the rebellion!
The year is now 2025. Let's take a brief detour to see what's going on on Earth.
Belinda Chandra is coming back home from the hospital (she works there as a nurse), when suddenly in through her walls burst big fancy robots!
Robots: Hey we come from the year 2015. We were sent by our King to get you because you were the one for whom our solar system was named!
Belinda: wtf?
Robots: *takes off in the Missbelindachandraship*
Doctor: oops i'm too late to stop the kidnapping but I'll just follow them and rescue Belinda when we get to the planet. I sure hope this isn't one of those planets with a time fucker.
The year is now, still 2025. We are now on the planet MBC1
Robots: Welcome home. as the namesake of our cilization you are now Queen Miss Belinda Chandra
Belinda: you should get Alan, not me. Alan is the one who named the star
Robots: okay we'll send someone to go get him.
Doctor: hey nice to meet you, i'm the doctor and here's a bunch of people from the rebellion that i've become very close friends with, and we're here to rescue you
Nice Rebel: Hi i'm nice rebel, i've become the doctor's bestest friend ever and i can't wait to become the next companion for season 2 once this episode is done!
Robots: gun
Nice Rebel: oh no... and i only had 1 minute of screentime....
Doctor: noooO!OO!O!O!O!O!OO!O!O!O!OO!O!O!
Digimon World Enthusiast Jac ?? — 8:26 PM
i cant believe this would happen to nice rebel
Timu — 8:30 PM
And so they escaped the robots and made it to the Rebel Home Base! There were a lot of casualties from the rescue mission.
Belinda: So you're just The Doctor? Then I guess you can call me The Nurse because i'm going to help these wounded people. Does human medical training work on MBCkind?
Doctor: it's fine, MBCkind are exactly like humans except for their fancy missbelindachandrastomach. otherwise exactly the same so don't worry about it
Mean Rebel: Hey I'm mean rebel! and a lot of our friends died to save you, so i'm going to blame you even though I know none of this is actually your fault!
Belinda: now that things have calmed down about. what the fuck is going on?
Doctor: i came to rescue you but there's a time fucker and i landed 6 months ago and i joined the rebellion. There's an evil king that took over 10 years ago and he kidnapped you to try to marry you, because you are the namesake of this place and thus you are the queen
Mean Rebel: Fuck you. I blame you for that!
Belinda: *sends a signal to the robots*
Robots: hey we got your signal
Doctor: why the fuck did you signal the robots
Mean Rebel: Fuck you! I blame you for this and this time it is actually your fault!
Belinda: I want the fighting to stop! I'm surrending to the king and getting married in order to stop the violence!
Robots: Yeah that would work, lets go and not hurt anyone
And so Belinda and Doctor were brought before the King. At this point, the audience and Belinda only knew the king as an "Al Overlord" but surprise, it's not actually an AI overlord, it's an Alan overlord! the AI was Al all along!!!! sorry for spoiling that plot twist for you guys
Digimon World Enthusiast Jac ?? — 8:32 PM
oh fuck an alan intelligence
Timu — 8:32 PM
Alan: Hey it's me from the start of the episode. Remember earlier when you said "get alan, not me', that's why I'm here because they did that. Then I became an evil king!
Belinda: How are you okay with all this violence
Alan: because i'm fucked up and evil!!!! I am not sorry for any of this! I am okay with violence!
Doctor: there's a fun little quirk that timu forgot to mention, you see, the robots can not hear every 9th word, which is how the humans were able to coordinate a rescue mission earlier within earshot of the robots. By praising the evil king for 8 words and then using the 9th word to say our secret message that's how we did that. And also this evil king who has become a cyborg at this point, turns out every 9th word of his shows his true emotion!
flashback "because i'm fucked up and evil!!!! I am NOT sorry for any of this! I am OKAY with violence!"
wow! so alan is actually NOT OKAY and he is in pain and stuff and regret or something.
Doctor: anyway, that stuff is not important anymore cause we are still gonna kill Alan
The 9th word thing was just a fun little quirk that is honestly not that important or relevant
Alan: I have in my possession the older version of the paper that has been here since the founding of this civilization
Belinda: And I brought the younger version of the paper with me from earth
Doctor: Except I'm holding that younger version of the paper at this moment.
Missbelindachandraroomba: I am a roomba. i'm a cute little mascot who says polish polish. i've been here the whole episode being cute
Doctor: here take this piece of paper to belinda for me
Roomba: polish polish
Belinda: I have the piece of paper now
Alan: yes and I've been awkwardly holding the older version of that same piece of paper this whole time
Flashback to earlier Doctor: did you know that if two version of the same thing from different points in time touch each other, there will be a time explosion?
Belinda *touches the papers together*
*trippy dream sequence plays with a montage of alan and belinda's lives and stuff*
Doctor: i'm a time lord so i have a degree of immunity so i'm just gonna pull Belinda out of there to safety
Belinda: whoa where did Alan go?
Doctor: he got reverted to his youngest he ever was, an egg and sperm, you can see him on the floor there, see, with this magnifying glass?
Roomba: polish polish
Robots: and the evil king is fucking dead yay!!!!!
Mean Rebel: I forgive you and i'm sorry for being mean earlier!
MBCciviliation: thank you for saving us and we will live in peace happily forever!
And now into the Tardis:
Doctor: and now I guess we should put this piece of paper into the past to start the bootstrap paradox... unless you want to go on a season long adventure first?
Belinda: no thank you. just take me home
Doctor: aw. alright.
Cliffhanger: actually the invincible all powerful tardis cannot go to May 24th 2025 on earth. It's all fucked up now, look at these broken up world monuments floating through space! Scary right? To be continued!!!
Overall Rating:
Main Villain: Alan
This guy loves violent videogames and after being handed the reins to an entire planet, he said 'whoa, so i can control everything, just like in sims city 4?' then he went mad with power and turned himself into a cyborg. did we mention he was a misogynist?
Deaths: a cat, a bunch of rebels, a couple of robots, and Alan
Births: Alan (on the floor)
Birthrate: idk
Moral of the story: i can't think of anything right now. maybe put a leash on that tardis. y'all keep wandering away from it and then getting stuck in extremely dangerous situations unable to get back
Overall Rating: missbelindachandrasevenpointthree/missbelindachandraten
kinda a middle of the road episode. there's an episode like this every couple of season where the doctor meets a bunch of soldiers fighting a war in the sewers or something and i just find it kinda boring for some reason. HOWEVER! i do appreciate the silliness of all the nouns on this planet being missbelindachandranouns, and I do like the concept of bootstrap paraodoxes in general so I always like it when that happens! But what really crowns the episode is the dynamic of The Nurse and the Doctor. The quirky behaviors of the doctor, which are usually portrayed as charming and attractive, the Nurse treats him like probably in like the most realistc way. The doctor is dangerous. he does things that aren't quite acceptable in society. and she calls him out on it and wants no part of it and just wants to go home. For example, the actress previously played a different character last season, and the Doctor tests her DNA and confirms that Belinda is an ancestor of the last season character. And Belinda says "you tested my DNA without asking me? that's kinda like, fucked up??" (cause people have a right to privacy and stuff)
it's crazy we never find out The Nurse's name. maybe it will be a big reveal in a few episodes
This is a fun episode that features the bootstrap paradox, and I think a fun thing I will try is to review it in chronological order, from the perspective of history on the planet Missbelindachandra 1
I hope y'all know what the bootstrap paradox is, here's a good clip that has a hypothetical example of a bootstrap paradox https://youtu.be/u4SEDzynMiQ?si=o0IQQbTgeNZ-wJKm
So we go now to this alien planet. The year is Sometime in the Past, and the Doctor pops out of his tardis. He says "Hello, i have an important paper to leave here, because it's important to the bootstrap paradox. I didn't get around to doing it at the end of Episode 1, so this scene is actually going to occur in Dr 15 Season 2 Episode 8, presumably." then he gets in his tardis and leaves.
The native humanoids on this planet look at the paper. Apparently, on Earth, there's a thing where you can name a star after someone. This certificate states that their star is MissBelindaChandra. And so, the planet of Missbelindachandra 1 was thus also named, and Missbelindachandrakind were able to found their Missbelindachandracivilization.
The year is now 2008. Let's take a brief detour to see what's going on on Earth. a young couple are having a romantic evening on a bench, gazing up at the stars.
Alan: I'm the boyfriend. Do you see that star up there? I named it after you.
Belinda Chandra: wow neat! But why did you put Miss as part of the name?
Alan: because you aren't married
Belinda: uhh ok
Alan: *gets down on one knee* Also, will you make me the happiest man in my life and get married to me? Oh, and before I forget, will you stay in the kitchen and not be allowed to vote? I only get two paragraphs of dialogue and I was running out of time to let the audience know that I was actually a misogynist this whole time.
Belinda: no
and so, a rejected Alan went home to play video games, when suddenly in through his walls burst big fancy robots!
Robots: Hey, we come from the year 2025. We were sent by Queen Miss Belinda Chandra to get you because you were the one who named our star system! Also, this planet has a Time Fucker surrounding the planet, which means all travel to and from the planet will happen out of order, so that's how this whole bootstrap paradox thing is happening.
The year is now 2015. Alan has arrived on Missbelindachandra One from 2008.
Missbelindachandracivilians: "Welcome Alan! Thanks for naming our Missbelindachandracountry! That makes you Missbelindachandraking!"
Alan: And my first order as king is to fuck up everything. Humans shouldn't have any basic rights, and if anyone attempts to rebel, I shall order the Missbelindachandrabots to do a Missbelindachandramurder on the Missbelindachandrebels using Missbelindachandraweaponry.
Robots: i guess we have to obey and kill the humans
Alan: holy moly you guys are actually killing humans, this kinda rules actually? Keep up the good work. Oh and go fetch Belinda Chandra from earth so she can be my queen.
Robots: yessir
The year is now 2024. The doctor has arrived on the planet, he's here to rescue Belinda!
Doctor: "Wait... i'm 6 months to early? oh, there's a time fucker around the planet. Let me just get back into my invincible all powerful Tardis to deal with that."
Robots: You walked too far away from the tardis and now we are standing between you and the tardis so you can't get back to it.
Doctor: darn! i guess i'll have to join the rebellion!
The year is now 2025. Let's take a brief detour to see what's going on on Earth.
Belinda Chandra is coming back home from the hospital (she works there as a nurse), when suddenly in through her walls burst big fancy robots!
Robots: Hey we come from the year 2015. We were sent by our King to get you because you were the one for whom our solar system was named!
Belinda: wtf?
Robots: *takes off in the Missbelindachandraship*
Doctor: oops i'm too late to stop the kidnapping but I'll just follow them and rescue Belinda when we get to the planet. I sure hope this isn't one of those planets with a time fucker.
The year is now, still 2025. We are now on the planet MBC1
Robots: Welcome home. as the namesake of our cilization you are now Queen Miss Belinda Chandra
Belinda: you should get Alan, not me. Alan is the one who named the star
Robots: okay we'll send someone to go get him.
Doctor: hey nice to meet you, i'm the doctor and here's a bunch of people from the rebellion that i've become very close friends with, and we're here to rescue you
Nice Rebel: Hi i'm nice rebel, i've become the doctor's bestest friend ever and i can't wait to become the next companion for season 2 once this episode is done!
Robots: gun
Nice Rebel: oh no... and i only had 1 minute of screentime....
Doctor: noooO!OO!O!O!O!O!OO!O!O!O!OO!O!O!
Digimon World Enthusiast Jac ?? — 8:26 PM
i cant believe this would happen to nice rebel
Timu — 8:30 PM
And so they escaped the robots and made it to the Rebel Home Base! There were a lot of casualties from the rescue mission.
Belinda: So you're just The Doctor? Then I guess you can call me The Nurse because i'm going to help these wounded people. Does human medical training work on MBCkind?
Doctor: it's fine, MBCkind are exactly like humans except for their fancy missbelindachandrastomach. otherwise exactly the same so don't worry about it
Mean Rebel: Hey I'm mean rebel! and a lot of our friends died to save you, so i'm going to blame you even though I know none of this is actually your fault!
Belinda: now that things have calmed down about. what the fuck is going on?
Doctor: i came to rescue you but there's a time fucker and i landed 6 months ago and i joined the rebellion. There's an evil king that took over 10 years ago and he kidnapped you to try to marry you, because you are the namesake of this place and thus you are the queen
Mean Rebel: Fuck you. I blame you for that!
Belinda: *sends a signal to the robots*
Robots: hey we got your signal
Doctor: why the fuck did you signal the robots
Mean Rebel: Fuck you! I blame you for this and this time it is actually your fault!
Belinda: I want the fighting to stop! I'm surrending to the king and getting married in order to stop the violence!
Robots: Yeah that would work, lets go and not hurt anyone
And so Belinda and Doctor were brought before the King. At this point, the audience and Belinda only knew the king as an "Al Overlord" but surprise, it's not actually an AI overlord, it's an Alan overlord! the AI was Al all along!!!! sorry for spoiling that plot twist for you guys
Digimon World Enthusiast Jac ?? — 8:32 PM
oh fuck an alan intelligence
Timu — 8:32 PM
Alan: Hey it's me from the start of the episode. Remember earlier when you said "get alan, not me', that's why I'm here because they did that. Then I became an evil king!
Belinda: How are you okay with all this violence
Alan: because i'm fucked up and evil!!!! I am not sorry for any of this! I am okay with violence!
Doctor: there's a fun little quirk that timu forgot to mention, you see, the robots can not hear every 9th word, which is how the humans were able to coordinate a rescue mission earlier within earshot of the robots. By praising the evil king for 8 words and then using the 9th word to say our secret message that's how we did that. And also this evil king who has become a cyborg at this point, turns out every 9th word of his shows his true emotion!
flashback "because i'm fucked up and evil!!!! I am NOT sorry for any of this! I am OKAY with violence!"
wow! so alan is actually NOT OKAY and he is in pain and stuff and regret or something.
Doctor: anyway, that stuff is not important anymore cause we are still gonna kill Alan
The 9th word thing was just a fun little quirk that is honestly not that important or relevant
Alan: I have in my possession the older version of the paper that has been here since the founding of this civilization
Belinda: And I brought the younger version of the paper with me from earth
Doctor: Except I'm holding that younger version of the paper at this moment.
Missbelindachandraroomba: I am a roomba. i'm a cute little mascot who says polish polish. i've been here the whole episode being cute
Doctor: here take this piece of paper to belinda for me
Roomba: polish polish
Belinda: I have the piece of paper now
Alan: yes and I've been awkwardly holding the older version of that same piece of paper this whole time
Flashback to earlier Doctor: did you know that if two version of the same thing from different points in time touch each other, there will be a time explosion?
Belinda *touches the papers together*
*trippy dream sequence plays with a montage of alan and belinda's lives and stuff*
Doctor: i'm a time lord so i have a degree of immunity so i'm just gonna pull Belinda out of there to safety
Belinda: whoa where did Alan go?
Doctor: he got reverted to his youngest he ever was, an egg and sperm, you can see him on the floor there, see, with this magnifying glass?
Roomba: polish polish
Robots: and the evil king is fucking dead yay!!!!!
Mean Rebel: I forgive you and i'm sorry for being mean earlier!
MBCciviliation: thank you for saving us and we will live in peace happily forever!
And now into the Tardis:
Doctor: and now I guess we should put this piece of paper into the past to start the bootstrap paradox... unless you want to go on a season long adventure first?
Belinda: no thank you. just take me home
Doctor: aw. alright.
Cliffhanger: actually the invincible all powerful tardis cannot go to May 24th 2025 on earth. It's all fucked up now, look at these broken up world monuments floating through space! Scary right? To be continued!!!
Overall Rating:
Main Villain: Alan
This guy loves violent videogames and after being handed the reins to an entire planet, he said 'whoa, so i can control everything, just like in sims city 4?' then he went mad with power and turned himself into a cyborg. did we mention he was a misogynist?
Deaths: a cat, a bunch of rebels, a couple of robots, and Alan
Births: Alan (on the floor)
Birthrate: idk
Moral of the story: i can't think of anything right now. maybe put a leash on that tardis. y'all keep wandering away from it and then getting stuck in extremely dangerous situations unable to get back

Spoiler
Previously on doctor who:
Doctor: so do you wanna go on a season long adventure?
Belinda: no, just take me home
Doctor: oh no! some sort of cliffhanger is prevent us from going to May 24th 2025!
Audience: why not just go to may 23rd?
Writer: we aren't considering that
Doctor: I have an idea! i've invented a device. We'll land in a couple of random places, the doohickey will triangulate the position of May 24th 2025, and then the gizmo will allow us to bypass the cliffhanger! Alright, first random spot is 1952 miami florida! You can just wait here while i go outside and use the thingamajigger!
Belinda: ... alright actually fine, time travel is cool, i'm giving into temptation and i wanna check it out. let's go!
Doctor: okay it's been like 5 seconds so the thingy is done doing the thing, we can leave now..., or we can investigate that spooky abandoned theatre that we happen to have landed next to!
Belinda: uuu uuughghhrhrhrhrhrhhhhhh yes let's do it. there's missing people posters and i want to help
Locals: yeah so 3 months ago, 15 people mysteriously vanished from the theatre without a trace. Since then, the place is shut down, but the Theatre Operator still plays films every night to an empty room.
So they go into theatre and discover a living cartoon

this is
Lux Imperator
The god of light.
A member of the pantheon of discord. We've met the god of games, god of music, and the god of death in previous episodes last couple of seasons.
very scary!!!
But gods follow rules so maybe there is a chance?
Doctor and Belinda get transformed into cartoons. To escape they have to push through the fourth wall and into YOUR living room! yes yoU!!!!!!! you have been enjoying the latest timu review and then out of your screen popped the Doctor and Belinda! from Timu's review of Dr Who Dr 15 Season 2 Episode 2!!

Digimon World Enthusiast Jac ?? — 9:40 PM
i think wed be pretty uncomfortable because im on my couch right now and theyd presumably be on top of me
Timu — 9:41 PM
Doctor: oh fuck sorry lemme get off of you and off your couch. where are we??
Doctor: wait... sniff sniff is this modern day europe?!?!
Doctor: what are we doing here?
>Let timu explain what's going on
Digimon World Enthusiast Jac ?? — 9:42 PM
technically its not europe right now but i can understand a time traveller being confused
Timu — 9:49 PM
You tell the Doctor "it's technically its not europe right now but i can understand a time traveller being confused"
Doctor: whoa, i've never been somewhere besides present day london before!
Timu: That's because you're from a tv show filmed in england! that's right you're fictional! The show is fictional!
Doctor: whoaaa, what's your favorite episode?
Timu: well it has to be this one, because this is the one I'm in.
Doctor: what about that Sea Devils episode? You had a joke about how you were in it!
Timu: I did? i'll be honest i just ctrl-F'd "Timu" on (https://eagle-time.org/showthread.php?tid=4677 to find an episode where I had a joke that I was in it
Doctor: yeah
Timu: okay well, anyway the point is, I'm the fictionalized version of Timu who is a character in the timu reviews, and I'm in this one right now
Jacquerel: and I'm a fictionalized version of Jacquerel in this timu review. Unless.... I'm actually the real jacquerel? Is nothing real? what if we are fictional?
Timu: Yeah! This is some existential fear for the audience to experience! What if we aren't real and are just part of a tv show?
Jacquerel: whoa! scary!
Doctor: well i'm going back to the movie theatre to fight god bye
Timu: bye, we will stop existing once this scene is over!
and so they did that sort of thing in the episode. it had fun jokes for the doctor who fandom
Lux: So you escaped from the illusion I put you into!
Doctor: what's your evil plan?
Lux: So i'm going to use your time lord regeneration light to build myself a 3d body so i can go outside and then absorb the light of a nuclear bomb and then i'm going to nuke earth!
Doctor: oh no he's doing that. He couldn't leave the theatre before, but he will be able to once he builds his 3d animation body! Belinda, you should expose him to the outdoors before that happens!
Belinda: okay, i'll set off a bomb
Theatre caretaker: i will be heroic and sacrifice myself to set off the bomb so that you will survive
*explosion*
Lux: auaughghahghg Sunlighttttttttttttt sunlighttt yum yum yum i'm growing very big and powerful!!!!! whoa! too powerful! too big!!!
Doctor: yeah the sun is wayyyy more powerful than a nuke. he didn't want to go outside before because the sun would be too much. i'm overfeeding him basically
Lux: whoaa all the light of the universe is now mine. i am one with everything. i am everything. if i am everything. i am omnipresent. i am everything. and i am nothing. *fades away*
okay i guess that worked out.. it makes sense if you think about it sorta, he can't do anything to change anything if he's already everything. ?
also all the people who disappeared come back. yay!
Overall Rating:
Main Villain: Lux Imperator
This god of light has a cool name and takes the form of a cartoon man! He has the power to trap people inside of film, turn people into cartoons, and also the reverse, to turn footage of someone into literally physically that person! and absorb light and manipulate light and also use telekinesis on cameras and film reels. he can change size, flatten himself, and other cartoon stuff! he even comes with a soundtrack!
Deaths: Theatre Manager, Theatre Manager's wife (brought back to life by Lux from archival footage of her), Lux
Births: Theatre Manager's wife, Lux, Lux Eternity Mode
Birthrate: 0
Moral of the story: This is a solid episode.. I have no moral of the story , except uh, racism is bad? Doctor and Belinda were quite concerned about hanging out in 1952 miami (this is during the era of american segregation) so shoutout to all the characters in this episode actively choosing not to be racist despite the laws in place. (for example: diner waiter: "it's 4am so i can get away with bending the rules and letting you hang out in the white section")
Overall Rating: 9.8/10
good episode. cool villain. normally i'm not a super fan of 4th wall breaking, but they didn't actually break the 4th wall in this episode. good jokes too when poking fun at the fandom!
