I personally like the ending of this story (episode 6 has been really good overall) but it does have a He-Man style lets sit down and talk about the moral of the story feel, just in case anyone wasn't paying attention #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion
There is an interesting comparison to be made here with #EnemyoftheWorld We have very similar stories and yet the people deceived here feel like they have far more agency than those in Salamanders bunker #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion
"I can only hope that in the future we shall be friends" Charles Grover is a fascinating character, willing to see countless Billions of people wiped out but unwilling to kill Sarah who he knows could ruin everything #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion
As much as I like this story, I can't see that the Time Lords would have allowed this to stand even if the Doctor had failed to stop them. Wiping out all of your ancestors sounds like the worst kind of paradox you could cause #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion
"Oh go and make us all a cup of tea" I love the confused Sergeant who manages to save the day with a cup of tea #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion
This is what I have been calling for more of, conflict between UNIT and the British Army. It makes for a fascinating dynamic #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion
Maybe I might have been better off sticking to the television to watch this, rather than watching in cinema mode on my quest... #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion
I'm not really sold on the Generals motivations here. The idea that this very British senior military figure is willing to commit treason to help what are essentially a bunch of hippies in suits and lab coats needed more explanation #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion
There is padding and then there is spending more than half of the episode literally going around in circles #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion
I really think that the revelations about Mike came far too early. How much better would it have worked to have discovered it here along with the Doctor #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion
"Well, don't just stand there, Benton. Go and put yourself under arrest." I actually laughed at that, best part of this episode #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion
This whole video about the collapse of society sounds exactly like the kind of video people make now...50 years later and still no societal collapse #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion
It has taken a while but I've finally found an episode which has made me warm to Benton. Who knew #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion
I like the parallels between this and #GreenDeath We have famous intellectuals who have dropped out of society. The nuthutch are shown as the heroes who choose to work to save humanity. These passengers are shown as the villains who abandon it #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion
"We shall have to destroy her" I love this scene. Just because someone is liberal/pro environment does not automatically make them a good person. They can be as susceptible to corruption and dogmatism as anyone. People are complex #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion
Why did no one think to try and recreate this scene in season 1 of Torchwood? #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion
This whole elevator disguised as a janitors cupboard feels like a spy cliché and yet at the same time feels very Doctor Who #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion
I guess the arrival of dinosaurs and the evacuation of central London must have been dominating the news and partly acting as a cover for hundreds of famous people going missing #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion
"We left Earth 3 months ago" Now that is how you do a cliffhanger! 3 episodes in when the audience feel they know what kind of story they are getting, it changes everything up #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion
GROVER: In there are confidential ministerial files going back years. Let's take a look.
A minister taking a journalist to rummage through all of those top secret files is surely a red flag Sarah #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion
I actually quite like Charles Grover MP, he seems a pleasant and competent minister. But if there is one golden rule of the Pertwee era it is never trust a politician #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion
There must have been a better way to have directed this. Believe it or not I don't like criticising the effects, but this sequence could have been far shorter #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion
I guess the thinking went something like, lets do a story in which almost everyone is a traitor except for Benton, the audience will never see that coming #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion
After my comments for episode 2 Sarah has gone into full on journalist mode. I'm not sure when she has had the time or means to conduct all of this research but this is the version of SJ I like #DoctorWho #DinosaurInvasion
I really love Notebook LM and have used it for all kinds of things. Here is its commentary on #DinosaurInvasion episode 2
notebooklm.google.com/notebook/7f6...
I'm a little suprised at Sarah in this one. There is a mystery to solve and I would have expected her to be digging around and using her journalism skills to investigate where could be generaing their own power. Instead she decides to spend her time flirting with Mike #DinosaurInvasion
I hadn't remembered there being this many comedy scenes in the story. Pertwee seems to be enjoying himself at least #DinosaurInvasion
If there's one thing that does disappoint me with this though, it is this scene. The revelation that the ever trustworthy Captain Yates has chosen (without hypnotism) to become a traitor deserved a cliffhanger, not to be randomly dropped mid episode #DinosaurInvasion
