My favourite thing about the new episodes and new season so far is that its really, really channeling this quote by William Hartnell:

Oof, "Space Babies"

The government won't stop the babies from being born but then they won't take care of them and Ruby's like yeah that's not surprising.

parthenogenesis baby machine?

ok so in Space Babies it is said the space babies are produced with a parthenogenesis machine. Well,

parthenogenesis is a kind of asexual reproduction, aka producing babies with one genetic parent.

There's various species that have this kind of asexual reproduction in nature, and usually in animals it means embryos develop from an unfertilized egg cell. For algae apparently an embryo can also develop from a single sperm instead.

We do not know of a single mammal species that does parthenogenesis in nature, but science already created mice by it (with great difficulty) so parthenogenesis for humans is a cool concept for a scifi future

But my question is: I'd assume the most logical first step for human parthenogenesis would be the one with a single egg cell, like all animals that do it in nature. Does this mean that all those space babies have XX chromosomes, no XY's at all? The other possibility is that they made sperm-parthenogenesis in humans possible of course, but that would be a first(?) in animals whatsoever?

Doctor Who Season 14, Episode 1: Space Babies

Well, that was a lot.

This episode had to do two things: it had to introduce this era of Doctor Who and it had to tell a good story. It did both of those well, but I think it was better at the first than at the second.

I do recommend this episode to people, and if you've never seen Doctor Who before it is a very good place to start.

I'm putting specifics and spoilers under the cut.

As I said, this episode had to do two things. It had to introduce the era and it had to be a good story.

It did the first of those really well, with a very effective opening scene answering all the questions about what Doctor Who is and who the Doctor is. I like that the Doctor is past the past traumas, and accepts that they happened but isn't overly focused on them. It's a good continuation of the specials and a fun angle.

The second one is the ultimate question of if this is a good story. And I think structurally it is. I liked the mystery and how it unfolded, and the twist with the boogeyman is effective. I just don't particularly like the space babies - something about them just felt off to me and didn't work. I also don't like that they save the semisentient pile of boogers with the power of a collective fart.

Doctor Who has always been incredibly weird, and that's part of what I like about it, but the specifics in this episode felt like they were trying too hard.

I really like the Doctor here. I like that he loves what he's doing and Ncuti Gatwa does a really good job at getting the audience as excited as he is. I also like Ruby, but I would like to see more of her outside of the mystery hook.

Here are some of my favorite weird details of the episode:

The TARDIS has a butterfly compensator now. I'm here for that.

Jocelyn was fun, and I like that she managed to swear

I can't believe that they got away with a fakeout child death in the first regular Disney episode

A lot of the budget is going to make the TARDIS actually move. On camera. That's nice.

Did anyone else think that the Doctor taking Ruby to visit a space station with new life was a cool parallel to the Doctor taking Rose to the end of the world in the last first RTD episode?

I don't know if I'm going to blog all the new episodes like this. I'd definitely like to, I just don't want to commit. I haven't even seen episode 2 yet. It might suck and I'll have to call off this whole project.

In case I do make a numbering system, 7/10.

This may be a controversial take. But I f****** hated space babies soooo much.

you have GOT to remember when watching the new doctor who that the question is not is this good. doctor who is only ever actually 'good' once a season at most. THE ONLY QUESTION IS is it fun, camp, and has aliens. also remember the worst doctor who showrunner is always the current doctor who showrunner. now go watch the new episodes as god intended like you're ten years old and still remember how to experience joy and whimsy.

#i am saying this to myself because i havent been able to watch them yet #and i need to remember the core values of dr who before i watch it #i REFUSE to be one of those people that cant enjoy it because its changed #or because its too rubbish #as if thats stopped me loving 90% of the rest of dw #doctor who #fifteenth doctor #ncuti gatwa #space babies #dr who #dw #🌌 #squids bullshit

hey guys i’ve seen no one else say it. but can we talk about the scene in space babies with ruby at the huge wall window, looking out at space, commenting on humans surviving, as the doctor watches from behind. how she goes “my mum is long gone” and the doctor says “give me your phone” and he sonics it and she calls her and it’s a silly little interaction. yeah? and then can we talk about how that’s Literally Exactly What Happened in The End of the World with ninerose. the parallels… gifmakers GET IN HERE NOW.

tonal whiplash too, CATEGORICALLY doctor who, one minute it’s all lovey dovey baby huggies doggos paper flowers, the next oh all these toddlers have been ABANDONED PERMANENTLY and are going to die a painful death as they SLOWLY SUFFOCATE AND STARVE while a helpless nanny watches them locked away from preemptive grief. oh and there are still economic recessions in the first great and bountiful human empire. so they’ve banned abortions in the 21000s. #whimsy
