Notes on - Doctor Who: Lucky Day

 

Lucky Day notes

New years eve. I wonder which hotel the time door is at right now

His grimace when he smells that it’s London

Young Conrad

Ah, that’s how Conrad knew Belinda’s name

It’s 2007

Conrad’s mom sucks

8 years old when he saw the Doctor and now does a podcast which is having Ruby on as a guest

That means Conrad is 26 in present day

This feels so much like Love and Monsters. On purpose, I suppose

Conrad saw the TARDIS with The Doctor and Ruby last year during an unseen story

The narration is even echoing Love and monsters. I half expect a Scooby Doo chase scene

Touching green goo is never a good sign

And now it feels very like Rose with all the manequins

Ruby: Please tell me I wasn’t just peed on.

The Doctor: No. It’s more like vomit.

Conrad is marked now

They just confirmed that this takes place right after Devil’s Chord

We see lots of people listening to Conrad’s podcast. Including one guy at a UNIT locker

Conrad’s doing a good job of appearing to be an amiabkle doofus

It is Conrad that UNIT’s not calling, not that theyre just busy

Why did Ruby happen to video – oh, never mind that was last night.

Ruby is describing exactly what Conrad need to fake later on

Shreek is a dumb name

How does Ruby have antidote? Did UNIT make it?

I don’t know if Conrad seems too good to be true just because I know what’s coming or if I bought it the first time.

I’ve missed Carla and Cherry

Cherry is googling Conrad. Shouldn’t his conspiracy stuff come up?

Conrad is obsessed with replacing the Doctor in Ruby’s life

Conrad: Is.. Is he your boyfriend?

Ruby: God, no. If he was here he’d be flirting with you

Ruby’s allowing herself to be really open and vulnerable with Conrad

It’s brutal watching this the 2nd time and knowing

The Wicker Man is indeed frightening. The original

Flickering electricity

Of course Sparky could make the lighting flicker

Mel’s on her way to Sydney and Kate clearly has a thing with Ibrahim

The term is catastrophizing

Nice for Ruby that she has a direct line to UNIT in case of emergencies

UNIT has Torchwood style prison pods

Conrad’s doing a lot of subtle stuff when Ruby isn’t looking

Conrad: Nothing’s going wrong while I’m here.

*** Biscuit got the fright of his life!

Why would Conrad be so stupid to not take the antidote?  He does know that the Shreek is real.  Even given that he’s faking this one, he did see the real thing last year. What’s he think

Conrad’s coming off as completely obsessed with replacing the Doctor in Ruby’s life

Not sure about the UNIT entry cavalry music

UNIT member we’ve never met before. Obvious plant

I didn’t see the twist coming at all

Does Conrad really think UNIT is lying? He knows better. So he’s faking faking things

Have the people really not had enough evidence of actual aliens by this point??

This is incredibly cruel

Why is Trinity Wells always such a bitch these days? She never used to be

This begs the question of how much authority UNIT has to arrest

‘Harmless stunt’??

I wish this wasn’t so believable.

Is doxxing not illegal in UK? This should be obviously wrong to everyone that sees it

See, this is why UNIT was better off being top secret

So Conrad is just pissed that they didn’t hire him

It’s a little odd that Conrad would pay for his mother’s house, seeing as she was so awful

And the UNIT member we never saw before turns out to be the traitor. Surprise.

Isn’t the Vlinx alone enough to cause doubt in Conrad’s followers

Jordan Lang

Conrad shot Jordan

At this point I’m already rooting foer them to release the shreek and let it tear him apart

God he’s so smug

Aren’t all of Conrad’s viewers hearing the truth that Conrad wanted to work there and is bitter

Kate: You should be very careful what you say about my father.

And again, aren’t Conrad’s viewers hearing about how Conrad stole a gun and shot someone???

Ruby: You’re so lucky he’s not here.

Kate: She’s telling the truth.  And actually, I’m glad he’s not here. Because he would have stopped me.

But Conrad knows, for fact, that he’s been lying and UNIT is telling the truth. Why didn’t he take the antidote??

Really, just let him die.

Why on earth do we have another Doctor Lite episode??

Ruby’s still trying to save Conrad’s life. I wouldn’t.

I’m with Kate on this one. Fuck Conrad

Nice to see Conrad in pain

Will there be consequences for Kate? They’re kind of hinting that there will be.

Shirley’s not wrong. Ruby does collect mother figures

So is the implication that the Shreek tore Conrad’s arm moff and UNIT reattached it?  More than he deserves.

God, does this guy ever stop sneering

Conrad is wearing grey sweat pants. With VPL

Nice mission statement from the Doctor

It’s like the show is talking directly to Trump and his supporters

Conrad knows who Belinda is because he met her in the opening

I’m guessing ‘I don’t accept your reality’ is going to play into things later.

How is Conrad being set up to be relevant in the finale?

And of course Mrs. Flood is the jailer

Notes on - Doctor Who: Joy to the World

  Doctor Who – Joy to the World notes. The Queen’s Hotel – Manchester 1940 I quite like Basil and Mrs. Basil Why are we in WWII again? Basil: It’s the end of everything, you know. Everything we hold dear.   Democracy itself will fall. I hate Pumpkin Latte Aren’t those locked doors pretty much always just connecting rooms? Orient Express – Italy – 1962 Do a lot of people read Murder on the Orient Express on the Orient   Express?   Bit on the nose. OK, we’re opening with a montage of the Doctor bursting in on various time periods and places to offer them the same lukewarm toastie and pumpkin Latte.   That’s a pretty clever way to establish the concept of the hotel from the back door, as it were MOTOE is a much thicker book than that.   And she has handwritten pages Base camp – Everest 1953.   Is there only one base camp? Sandringham Hotel – London 2024.   So, time of airing then. I’m not loving Joy’s outfit Apparently the...

Notes on - Billions: Pilot

  Billions notes  Yeah, that first scene is a lot US Attorney’s office SDNY Kate giving the intro talk to some guy named Michael. Bryan was the one who gave her that speech 18 months ago Chuck is already playing with recommendations for judicial appointments Ari Spyros.   FCC here to introduce Bobby as the antagonist Lots of dry insider trading stuff Would they really introduce a possible crime with a head shot? Meanwhile Bobby is introduced enjoying pizza with his wife and being a good guy.   In contrast to Chuck getting burned and pissed on. It’s not believable that Lara hasn’t ever tried Bobby’s favorite pizza before at this point in their marriage. And now Bobby is saving his childhood pizza place from going under out of altruism.    They’re really leaning against type. And from there to Axe Capital Mick Danzig and Ben Kim And now they’re demonstrating that Bobby is smarter Bobby:   Yale? Ben:   Stanford.  ...

Notes on - Billions: Naming Rights

  Naming Rights notes Axe in his underwear.   Nice opening shot Axe:   Always put that lunatic through.   One out of every 200 ideasw he has is fucking brilliant. Wags is dressing Bobby, making him his valet, quite literally Wags has his beard! Axe: No man is a hero to his valet Wags:   That goes double for his COO.   So you are fucked with me either way. So the mansion purchase is getting him some bad press.   Still doesn’t seem like a big deal Ah, so Aze threw them Jerry O’Connell to get them to forget about the house *** Who’s more low key than me? Bryan and Chuck eating in the office again Bryan knows the distinction in Asian cuisine Kate is still calling Chuck sir Is that true about General Tso? Pete Decker – That’s Jerry O’Connell, right? Lara is vaping Ellis Eads hall.   Bobby is obsessing over it.   He’s claiming it’s principal, and we don’t quite believe him Wags takes a hit of whatever Axe and Lara ...
