Just finished watching the third special for Doctor Who 60th Anniversary, and I have to say I absolutely loved it. It really felt like the Doctor who I know and love. Thank you RTD!
Definitely a step up in writing quality from the previous series.
I genuinely like the 15th doctor, I think he’s going to do great. His TARDIS has a fun 70s vibe to it.
Just a couple things:
1. He said the bi-generation thing was supposed to be a myth. And then Kate said something about locking the Toymaker’s box in salt? I think invoking a myth at the Edge of the Universe did more than we think it did.
2. The Master is now a golden tooth. The part where it got picked up invokes the scene where his golden ring got picked up by somebody. Does this mean we get another Master in the future?
3. Certain parts of when they were in the Toymaker’s dimension was nightmare fuel. I mean, that bit with the Stookies was just… *shiver*
4. I like that they referenced previous companions. Surprised there wasn’t a Weeping Angel puppet.
5. I would absolutely LOVE to see a spin-off series akin to Sarah Jane Adventures or Torchwood, but with 14 and Donna working at UNIT, and potentially getting cameos of other companions. I’d love to see Martha again. She supposedly still works at UNIT, right?
Maybe they could bring 14 to the Companion Support Group sometime.

"Okay." Danny slowly laid the already cold body back onto the table, ready to slide back it into the refuge of cold storage. "Okay. Dead guy. Stay there."
The body didn't move.
"Fantastic. Now. Hang out while I pour the embalming fluid into the pump, alright? It should only be a minute."
And it usually did; working in a funeral home wasn't extremely glamorous, but it paid the bills, and Danny had already been used to the rhyme and rhythm of negotiating death with the public by the time he sent in his mortuary school application. It had been a transition that made sense. And in the end, the degree had only cost him a few extra years post-graduation and a little dig into student loans, and now Danny had a stable 12-8 job and health insurance valid in the state of new jersey.
Today, though, the pump had that decided enough was enough. With a bang and a boom, the pump spat out a cloud of smoke and clunked uncomfortably.
The dead body sat up.
Danny scrambled over to push it back down. "No. We talked about this. Dead people don't move. If you want to stay here and have me put you back together all the time, you have to stay put. Got it?"
Whatever the weird gold-eye corpses were on in Gotham, they at least listened to him on occasion. They weren't ghosts, per se— they never pinged on any of the ghost detection devices Mom and Dad had packed in his going-away-to-college bag— but they were, despite being occasionally animate, perfectly deceased.
Weird. Danny had never gotten used to it. Still, they came in droves, too eager to sit on the top of the basement stairwell and lurk in the corners and stare endlessly at them with their weird, avian eyes, and sometimes they heralded the arrival similarly weird-ass bodies that had lost their heads or their arms or their limbs through the more conventional channels.
"I'm losing too much thread to all y'all coming in all the time," Danny complained to the dead body, who, at the moment, was the only person present to blame. "Stop getting your limbs cut off. This stuff is expensive, you know. It's a specialty order."
The body didn't even have the courtesy to blink. Rude.
"At least let them bury you this time. Every time one of you darts off when my back's turned, my boss thinks I'm stealing corpses. My coworkers think I'm building my own Frankenstein or something."
The corpse neither verbalized nor blinked, but Danny hadn't expected it to; with a sigh, he rolled the corpse back into cold storage, locked its little door (not that locking it in had ever stopped it) and called it quits for the night.
It's not like anyone was paying him for the extra hours anyway.

I actually really really liked the scene with Loki going back to his first conversation with Mobius (in addition to the fact that faced with the question to kill Sylvie, his first thought was to ask Mobius about it)
Going back to the time and place where Mobius knew everything about Loki’s past, present and future, but this time the playing field is level, Loki also knowing everything about Mobius’ past, present and future. I really liked it

Here's my take on the dragons zonai forms! As I've been playing Tears of the kingdom it has become more and more clear to me that the three dragons flying around were probably people at some point. So I tried to guess what they might have looked like based on the matching outfits you can find throughout the game!
