World News – CA – Jodie Whittaker’s ‘Doctor Who’ stays true to the shape of the New Years special

“Doctor Who”, in a British tradition, used to hold a Christmas special, but during Jodie Whittaker’s lease in the time-space TARDIS, New Years was the day. This year’s “Revolution of the Daleks” post closes the Cliffhanger, which ended last season, and is a sequel to the 2019 New Years special, “Resolution”, which ended with the Doctor and her family crew blowing up a Dalek the series’ signature enemy, almost destroyed forever and coming back forever – but just not enough

“It looks like a Dalek, but it can’t be a Dalek – unless it’s a Dalek,” the doctor will say when she meets you again

At the end of last season, the Doctor was carted away from Judon – basically rhino cops in spacesuits – and put in a space prison, “because I was. There she recites” Harry Potter “to herself and trains in a kind of prison yard, the filled with Easter eggs, in the non-Easterly, non-eggy sense of the term, thanks to current showrunner Chris Chibnall who wrote the episode, she’s soon to be with companions Yaz (Mandip Gill), Ryan (Tosin Cole) and Graham (Bradley Walsh) back on earth John Barrowman is the guest star, back as the flirtatious Time Ranger captain Jack Harkness; Harriet Walter as an ambitious politician; and Chris Noth, who wrote the trump card American businessman he wrote a few years ago in the episode “Arachnids in the UK”What they are trying to do here is to make a quick buck – millions of them – from reverse engineering the armored remains of the aforementioned alien”Oh, stupid person

There are no signs of COVID-19 in this timeline, but the social unrest of the past year is happening in a way: there are plans to use these new Daleks as “security drones” for crowd control you would think people on Earth they’d be able to recognize them by now, given the number of times they’ve been in our store and know enough not to go to bed with them, but in Doctor Who, people are remarkably forgetful when it comes to alien attacks (Every now and then the series will take note of this strange fact without ever explaining it very well, but if you look around what we can ignore, it isn’t implausible)

Regardless of the many actors who have played the regularly relaunching Doctor since the show’s debut in 1963, and their various types and hoods, and ultimately gender and even the 16 year hiatus that preceded their return in 2005, “Doctor Who “has recorded too many episodes to feel anything but familiar by now They are all variations on a small theme. But there is much to be said for anticipated joys, and here too the Daleks stop with their raw, hectic speech; fascist obsession with genetic purity; and monomaniac desire to “exterminate!” none of that is Dalek (if you could just silence them, that would be half the battle, but you can’t) that they look like giant salt shakers with a toilet plunger stuck on and slide around like Roombas should be less of a scare, but somehow not / p>

Despite the real tension and terror, it’s a pretty easy episode nothing about it feels tragic in any way, even if a tragedy occurs. This is not a complaint; I’m a fan of “Who” episodes where walking around takes precedence over looking inward. Noth plays his part in the What-Me-Worry comedy, and though an emotional matter is saved for the ending – it’s not Secret that Cole and Walsh are leaving the show – she’s happier-sad rather than sad-sad That doctor is a hug, and when she gets thoughtful for a moment – after finding out at the end of last season that she’s not a normal two-faced Gallifrey child after all, but a foundling from some mysterious other place – she wondered who she is – her answer is to the point, “I’m the Doctor, I’m the one who’s stopping the Daleks”
