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 4th 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 sonic screwdriver.
I LOVE not knowing whats going to happen.
I love David Tennants tie
I caught that she said Mavity the first time. Very proud
Donna: Was it me, or
was Isaac Newton hot?
The Doctor: He was,
wasn’t he. He was so hot.
The TARDIS shaped dent in the wall is cool.
Good on the Doctor for realizing he needed to stop the argument
about blame. They’re such good friends
I like the Doctors hair pushed forward like that
Ah, the HADS. So,
they need to solve the problem before it will come back and they can
leave. Nice framing device
The hallway looks so cool
Fenslaw
Donna: I thought you knew 27 million languages
The Doctor: I know 57 billion, two hundred and five. But not this one. Unless that was Mr. Fenslaw saying his name?
Donna: It wasn’t that
The Doctor: It wasn’t that.
Where did they film this?
Is that all green screen?
I like Jimbo the robot
It’s nice the way they’ve weathered the robot
The robot is walking very slowly down a very long hallway.
Fun hovercar
We still don’t have the slightest clue where this is going,
and I love it.
These sets are amazing
A chair does indeed indicate that they have butts. That’s a fun deduction
No life signs at all on the entire ship
Someone opened an airlock door three years earlier.
The drone sequence is so much neater than just looking out
the window
Cool spaceship exterior too
Mavity well
Should the Doctor really be affected by the change of the
word? Is that going to end up meaning
something.
I like that they at least acknowledge that there isn’t really
such a thing as an edge of the universe.
Usually sci-fi just ignores that
Camboolian Flat Mathematics.
OK
The edge of creation looks much cooler than it did back in
the Underworld
David leaning against the glass is a very cool visual
What made the big metal clang? It couldn’t be settling
Collis
The Doctor pretending to be affected by the goo is so
delightfully corny
Good on Donna for not forgetting that they know that there’s
hostile action here
Spindle
The Doctor: Can you
still here me?
Donna: No.
The Doctor: Good good. Won’t be long.
The mimic Doctor really does look compassionate
Orange room and blue room
Subtle how they work in that it gets cold before the
creatures appear
Donna’s description of how her family would respond if she
never returns is touching
It takes a minute to track that they’re both in different
places. I thought it was time jumping at
first
The Doctor and Donna are both feeling quite poetic while
they do repair work talking about what happens when time keeps passing
My arms are too long.
The penny is finally dropping that something is going on
Of course The Doctor is in shouting distance
Not-The-Doctor: The
notion of shape is strange.
Not-Donna: It
limits. It’s very limiting
The knees thing is creepy
They came from the nothing
Get in the cart and get the hell away from them
Huge Doctor hand!!
This is so creepy. Yet so simple
They outgrew the corridor.
That’s cool
Donna’s the one who figures out that the door opening three
years ago was how they got in.
Good on them for acknowledging the mass issue.
The Doctor’s instinct is to make peace with them. That’s nice and in character
Why do the walls rearrange with every countdown word?
Nice way to separate them though
It’s the classic sci-fi ‘how do we know who’s real when
there are duplicates’ dilemma
The Doctor does tell Donna when he doesn’t know
Good thought ditching the tie to compare to future copies
They’re really running through all the options on how to
test for being real
Timeless Child reference!
Good on them
The Doctor has had a lot more than 15 years since he saw
Donna
This is such an interestingly different version of Tennant’s
Doctor
Half the universe was destroyed by the Flux. That seems faiur
Fake Donna really had him before she gooed out
They’re beings from the void outside the universe and have jealously
watched the people that got to exist
Donna: I was born in
Southampton, ‘cause my mum and dad were there for the weekend visiting my
Auntie Iris. My mother was nine months
pregnant. Would Iris come to her? She would not. So, I arrived in Southampton,
which allowed my mother to say I was a problem form the day I was born. And I’ve not come to the edge of the universe
to discover I’m still dealing with that.
Fake Doctor forgot that things still exist when you discard
them. He doesn’t have object permanence
Donna’s not nearly as emotionally vulnerable anymore.
I really love the slow countdown
And now all four of them are together.
They’re all focused on proving that they aren’t the copies.
Donna doesn’t think she’s stupid.
Donna believes both that she’s stupid and that she’s
brilliant
The salt line has Doctor Who precedent
It didn’t get cold this time
They’re trying to get completeluy acclimatized so that the
TARDIS will come back and get them
Not-The-Doctor: We drifted here. In the lack of light. Passing no-time. But we would feel it. From so far away. Your noisy, boiling universe. We want to travel there. To play your vicious games, and win.
It’s implied that the blood lust and hate of living people
in the universe have made them like this
Again, a plexiglass divider
Donna’s focused on practical questions as always
If we’re slow they can’t read us
They’re using the Doctor’s weakness to think and be fast
against him to feed themselves
I love that the captain isn’t humanoid
The Doctor said Gravity and then corrected to Mavity. What’s the point of that?
There is an advantage to being able to read your own face
The airlock door was the captain leaving to keep them from
finding out what she knew
Figuring out what’s happening is aiding the creatures
Oh, the reconfiguring walls are turning it into a bomb
A very slow bomb
Very clever that they had him translate the numbers but not
say them out loud
Three years to walk very slowly down a very long hallway
Splitting them up for Doctor on Doctor and Donna on Donna
action
Big friendly red button!
So the Doctor just has to let him win and then the hostile
action is over and the TARDIS returns
The Doctor got the wrong Donna because she couldn’t explain
why Mrs. Bean is funny
That feels real
I really thought they might kill her here
This script is SO tight.
There isn’t a wasted beat
When did the Doctor realize it wasn’t Donna? Did he really get it wrong?
Shock feels like an appropriate reaction
What’s going to happen because of the thing with the
salt? This all feels like build up to
the toymaker. Like Mavity.
Donna won’t let him avoid the question
I love the way Donna asks ‘You Ok?’
WILF!!!!
Save us from what?
What’s happened in those two days?
Airplane crash!
No explanation of why they included Isaac Newton, or mavity.
