What was Mikey Thinking?

  The Star Beast notes David Tennants hair is very tall. I don’t love the ‘Once upon a time’ opening narrative.   Still, I suppose they had to catch people up somehow ***I think the story hasn’t ended yet. I preferred the Chibnall era theme song We’ve been in this alley many times before. Yay Rachel Talalay! Why is he just wandering around smiling at people? Of course he immediately runs into Donna.   There’d better be an explanation for these coincidences Fun illustration of how Donna misses everything Donna:   A word of advice.   You can wear a suit that tight up to the age of thirty five.   And no further. Shaun Temple has aged. The Doctor:   Grand Master of the Knowledge. Shaun: That says Grand Mistress. The Doctor: Oh, catch up! Callback to Nerys Yeah, the whole lottery thing was a big question 166 million.   Wow. Should UNIT be kidnapping journalists on air? I suppose they would use Hazmat protocols. S...

  Done Patrol notes Up they pop back out of the time stream to right where they left Isabel See, not this would have made a one woman show Larry:   So, what’s first.   Immortus, or butts? Jane DOES have access to all the powers now, although the alters retain their own internal voices they’re all working together Cliff couldn’t lift the seats because he’s getting old, nothing to do with the Parkinsons Did Vic steal Willoughby’s sword, or just the design? Rouge fled to battle to go get Rita Rouge:   Here I am, about to be the sole survivor of a super team, again, and it’s all my fault. Rita’s right.   Rouge didn’t run away, she came to Rita Rouge:   I’m a selfish coward.   That seems to be the one thing I can’t shape shift away from. Rita:   So why did you come here? Why did you wake me up? Rouge:   I don’t know.   Just having a bit of a freakout, I suppose. Rita:   You came here because you knew I would hol...

  Portal Patrol notes Whst’s with the WWII airplane?   Should I get that reference? Dinosaur! Can you die in the time stream? WTF???   Half a horse? Deploy the pod? Vic’s made a flattened dodecahedron? Cliff:   So… Technically we’re inside you? Cliff has totally given up What do the alters want Jane to say?? Oh, Vic doesn’t know Rita’s dying Keeg can go get info,   That’s a nice use of him And Keeg can hack into GRID to broadcast plot info OK, so basic setup, there are three portals where there’s longevity and no Immortus.   Side quests for plot coupons! Larry:   You should know that everyone deserves second or third chances. Cliff:   Boo. Why do they need Vic’s kmnuckles? OK, so they can pull them back.   That works. Nice seeding of the possibility that one of the portals might be in the future. Cliff:   What, my mitt’s not good enough but you’ll grab on to a used maxipad wrapped in a trenchcoat? ...

  Tomb Patrol notes We open with Butt Hunter running He looks pretty beat up So the Bureau used to want to capture them alive but now wants him to shoot to kill *** I always get my butt. Where/when are we now?   I’m guessing that wasn’t actually the last butt According to close captioning, the Butt that’s talking is named ‘Teddy’.   SO, there’s that. Is that the dystopian butt future, or is that happening right now? Vic’s back at the old STAR labs set.   And Silas just happens to be there? Oh, no, Vic invited him How does Silas know about the musical world? Silas is happy Vic is hanging with Deric again.   He should be, Deric’s good people. How easiy is it, realistically, to be re-cyborged What’s the rest of the DP up to while Vic is out in the middle of the night?   Sleeping, I suppose. So Vic still wants to help people.   That’s nice. LOVE Madame Rouge’s response to seeing Isabel Madame Rouge:   So, if it is...

  Immortimas Patrol notes Carol of the Bells style open credits music!   They’re saying ‘Doom Patrol’ over and over again. Let’s party like it’s Immortimus! The candles are a nice touch Hey, it’s a musical episode!   I genuinely did not know they were going to do one Dorothy:   Good morning, sex ghosts! Sex Ghosts:   Good morning, Dorothy! Song – Immortimus Day! Aww, Casey climbing in the window so that Jane would be the first one she saw was sweet Wait, are we just forgetting Shelley now? Diane Guerrero has a good voice! So Isabel has re-written the world so it’s alwaysa holiday all about her Michelle Gomez… not a super strong singer… We love her anyway Laura made ugly Immortimus sweaters for everyone.   I love that And Cliff has his human body back! Brendan Fraser – also not a great singer I love that the sex ghosts are all the backup characters/singers/dancers Aww, Deric sent gifts. So Vic and Deric have a successful...
