What was Mikey Thinking?

  The Church on Ruby Road notes Open with the baby being dropped off at the titular church on Ruby Road.   Quick confirmation that that’s where she got her name At first I thought the priests had raised her, but of course they clearly gave her to the foster system. December 1, 2023.    19 years ago, so she’s about to turn 19. This is the same Devina from Bad Wolf, right> Ruby is from Manchester Davina:   You don’t mind me using the word ‘foundling’, do you?   It’s just that some people think it’s a bit old fashioned… Ruby:   Oh, no no nonononono.   That’s what I was.   I was found.   I was foundled. Is this a real reality show in the UK? The golbins really get cause and effect This is also a bit final destination. December 22, 2023.   Ruby plays the keyboard, but it’s not her defining characteristic.   That’s nice. I’m betting we’re seeing the Doctor jump around quite a bit in Ruby’s timeline Dece...

  The Giggle notes Soho, 1925 There’s that clip of the toy shop from the trailer NPH – clearly enjoying hamming it up *** The rules.   They are very, very importantent, these rules. Don’t you think? Stooky Bill.   I’d never heard of him Stooky Sue and the Stooky Babies.   Creepy The Toymaker is properly sinister Ah, he just did the arpeggio laugh Nice little moment of casual racism Why is the toymaker letting his accent slip? John Logie Baird.   Also never heard of him. There’s the laugh arpeggio again Stooky means stupid and slow in Scottish idiom? Stooky Bill on fire is creepy as hell There’s the giggle again.   They’re sneaking it in a lot before we know to look for it. Bernard Cribbons is tactfully gone/just out of shot/ not showing his face.   That’s sad.   Obviously he wasn’t really there anymore. Man, you can see the increased budget The Toymaker dancing uin the background Should this guy be this able t...

  Wild Blue Yonder notes Disney Plus doesn’t capitalize TARDIS correctly.   Irritating. England 1666 Isaac Newton is hot There’s the first apple. Didn’t the 4 th Doctor claim to have been here at one point? Is the TARDIS always going to swoop in to land like this now? Donna:   Don’t worry.   He has a time machine.   Which means he can blame me for all eternity. **** Odds Bodkins! Depending on the time of year, Peter Davison might well be fighting Terrelaptils at this exact moment. Surely other guys have held apples that year Donna:   Have you got the controls set to ‘famous’, or what? The Doctor:   If I had controls. Mavity The clinking flickering bulb really sets the atmosphere Why is the TARDIS playing a sound cue anyway? Donna:   Is it bad? The Doctor:   Oh.   It was brand new. Wilf is right, it is a war song So they just have to wait for the TARDIS to fix itself.   Nice way to sideline the ...
