The Mind Robber - Episode Three

Written by - Peter Ling Director - David Maloney Producer - Peter Bryant

Episode Three

("This world that we've stumbled into is a world of Fiction!" - The Doctor to Zoe about where they are.)

Likes

- That this place is basically run on belief. Dangers are real as long as you believe in them. Stop and they are cardboard cut-out pictures that can't do more than give you one hell of a paper cut XD Or they just disappear into nothing.

- The Doctor saying that the Master of the place has a fantastic mind.

- Jamie, with the knife, hacking his way through cobwebs. Ah, Jamie, never stop being you.

- I just love the whole Jamie face swapping thing. It's so ridiculous and anywhere else it wouldn't work but here it just fits right in. I also love Zoe furiously shaking her head no when the Doctor goes to put on the wrong eyes again and smiling widely at the right mouth. It's like sorry Doctor, you be face blind, let the one who has known him a hot minute but memorises everything do it rather than you, who has known him a while now.

- lol, everyone's slightly delayed reaction jump scare to the door closing behind them when they enter the house, when the door was anything but quiet.

- The Master wanting the Doctor to find his way through all of the traps, because intellectuals. He's just sitting there, watching and cheering him on XD

- Jamie and doing smart things. I love him when he does smart things.

- Can we just appreciate Jamie rock climbing to get out of trouble? Look at him go. I'm so proud of him and all his solutions to problems he runs into this episode.

- The entire conversation between Jamie and Rapunzel.

- The Doctor and Zoe's adventure being a WIP that Jamie is reading. That's just the best damn thing.

Dislikes

- Wait...what happened to the Redcoat chap standing in front of the door? There to get Jamie all up in a huff and attack and gone the moment he is frozen and has to have is face replaced again. Just...what?

- Umm, why is Zoe all ew spider web at touching the webs around the candles, when she was basically walking through a forest caked in web two seconds beforehand with not one single uttered complaint about it? Then, not another complaint again.

- Uh, Doctor, Jamie is missing. You want to go find him now? Fanboy over meeting Gulliver later.

Awesome

- I actually really like the cave set in this one with all the candles around. This one was a hit for me.

- Yes, Doctor Who, give us some claymation with Medusa's up close snake hair.

Shitty

- WTF is on the Master's head? It looks like it should have a mini propeller on it in some scenes XD

- Oh geeze, that backdrop of Rapunzel's tower when Jamie first starts going up her hair. That one doesn't work for me. If the hair hadn't been just...there on it, and instead the window was an actual window and not a painting of a window, sure, but nope.

- Medusa's outfit. Just...what is that?

In Conclusion

Yes. I love this story. The Doctor has figured out that they are in a land of Fiction and that if they don't believe in things then they don't exist.

Zoe is always believing in things that don't exist because they are standing right in front of her, even when the Doctor is yelling at her to say they don't exist to get them to go away. I love that her logical mind can't figure out that because she can see and touch it, it doesn't exist, even though she intellectually knows it. She's having so much trouble here.

And all my love to Jamie just doing his own thing and getting places by just being him. You go, my lad, you go.

"girls with a time machine would do x, boys with a time machine would do y" if i had a time machine, i'd go back to the 90s and kick off a production of a flawed but deeply loveable tv adaptation of the epic of gilgamesh on a budget of an average 30 dollars per season. it would have a consistent fanbase on tumblr and a reneissance now in the 2020s. it would make our entire generation feel a deep-seated childhood nostalgia for humanity's oldest known story. the sets would be made from styrofoam. it would all be made with such love.

Rewatching the calm inside made me think about the "Ninja Never Quit!" scene

And I'm left thinking about something, sure the name "The Imperium monastery" sorta gives away where they're gonna end up, but how would they *exactly* know where?

I'm sure that anyone with a sane mind could come up with a reasonable explanation like "They saw through some hidden cameras" or "they had a map of Imperium and knew precisely where they would end up."

BUT, it's much funnier if you take the explanation as:

They randomly guessed they'll end up outside the palace, so they specifically just waited by the front door for a few minutes and all agreed on yelling "Ninja Never Quit!" when they jump out.

#ninjago #zane julien #kai smith #nya smith #Watching that scene made me giddy as hell #I was like 'Yessss! They said the thing! They did the cool pose and epic outro it's so perfect YESSSSS!'#But after rewatching the episode and paying some extra attention #It becomes much funnier to assume that about them #forgor the DR tag #ninjago dragons rising #There we go

The way that Sakura is inspired after cherry blossoms with both her name and appearance, and the cherry blossoms symbolise the transience and impermanence of life due to their short life spans. Sasori fights against a girl who represents the fleeting nature of life which completely contrasts his obsession with immortality and skurhliexbkjgfswgblpeq

LOVE that Sakura clowns on Sasori's fuckass stupid beliefs not only with her skill set but also with her entire existence. He was untouchable until he wasn't, he was smart until he wasn't, he was apathetic until he wasn't in the span of like, an hour. The best part being that the thing that ultimatively makes her so strong (her humanity and affection and care towards Chiyo) is the one thing he can't have and would absolutely lose if he were to turn her into one of his liveless bum bitch puppets.

She really is the ultimate troll. We love her.

#ask noni #meta #kinda #i was rewatching vote 2 the other day #where sasuke said i need to kill you naruto so no one i would care about is left #and i can just be the villain i need to be #but we all know sasuke would NEVER have been happy ever again and naruto KNEW this #and it just brought me back to the sos fight and sasori's entire le epic fail philosophy #ok so you have 298 puppets who cant talk or respond to you and no friends #you have all the acknowledgement you would need and you're still not happy #you tried to live a emotionless existence but it was physically impossible and you still couldnt bring yourself to kill the last family lin #and the only person who ever challenged you thinks you're a loser #and you wanna live forever like this? bitch is this how you live?#sasori really was leading the ultimate flop existence #in kishi's AND my eyes <3

Disney: absolutely no gay!

Tom the executive producer of Loki to everyone: we're doing the gay. Idc because Loki and Mobius obviously have feelings for each other. I. FEEL. IT.

Tom to Owen:

Owen: say no more

Tom to Natalie: LOKIUS REAL

Natalie Holt: proceed to include Mobius as drum + guitar in the finale Loki theme. *Cue drums and guitar while "let time pass" echoes. Repeat mobius' melancholy melody and slowly build up to a darker Loki theme and also there's this new heroic tune that represents Loki's heart getting kintsuki by mobius' gold and their melody supports each others throughout the theme

#lokius #whats with all the hints if not gay?#theme is fire #name's not out yet but its totally Lokius 2.0?#I was rewatching and was like #MOBIUS IS GUITAR AND DRUM RIGHT???#that then support the lead loki theme and the repeated drum makes the whole thing grounded and more grand and #the more i listen to it the more i'm convinced that that's their love song #epic as #they are living for each other and i'm sure they're going to see each other like 2 sec after the curtain falls #you can also find mobius guitar in lokius fyi #remember how i talked about mobius theme? what if he's there all along #loki #loki s 2 #loki s 2 finale #history is now

SPN Rewatch III - The pilot episode

Dean Winchester meets Jessica Moore.

I guess everyone noticed Jessica looks like a female version of Dean: same big bright eyes, plush lips, slight tilt of the head while watching. If Dean wore longer hair, maybe it would be a little similar.

I was negatively struck by Dean being the womanizer, hitting on his brother's girlfriend after two seconds' look. Anyway, this time, I noticed how Dean walks to Jessica, assessing her, purring his pick-up lines that should be compliments, and then walks back to Sam.

Sam doesn't look angry or upset by this behaviour. Maybe he knows big brother was just being his usual jerk when women are involved. Or he was just stuck there, watching Dean and wondering if he's real, after two years' distance.

I was struck by Sam's behaviour when he's packing things to follow Dean. He kisses Jessica on her cheek, as if she was his sister, almost absent-mindedly, and walks out of the door without even turning back to her, who's still talking to him.

No doubt Sam loved Jessica. I used to think this relationship would have been the right one for him, as to girlfriends.

But he loves Dean more...

The Mind Robber - Episode One

Written by - Peter Ling Director - David Maloney Producer - Peter Bryant

Episode One

("It moves the TARDIS out of the space time dimension. Out of reality!" - The Doctor to Jamie and Zoe about using the emergency unit.)

Likes

- I love how utterly geeky Zoe and the Doctor are being. Jamie's like "We're gonna die! Move us, Doctor!" And the Doctor and Zoe are like "Have you ever seen anything so beautiful as a rolling red river of death coming straight for us? Wonderful! Fantastic!" Jamie is just so done with these idiot geniuses XD

- Oh my god, Jamie's "Reality's getting too hot anyway" to the Doctor saying using the emergency unit will take them out of space time.

- The look Zoe gives the Doctor when he orders her to stay in the TARDIS. Like hell she's going to follow that order, Doctor XD

- The Doctor fighting someone trying to get into, or is in, his mind. I always like the little scenes with the Doctor where you know they have got telepathic ability.

- I like that it is shown that while the audience can see these robot things, Jamie and Zoe can't, even though they are surrounded and definitely being watched. I do like that they are both freaked out by it.

- Boom, suddenly visible robot things. Nice. And they have the power to give you headaches by using the power of circles.

- The Doctor losing his fight with his battle and stepping outside even though he didn't want to.

- The introduction of The Master...or IS IT?! Dun Dun Duuuuun.

Dislikes

- As much as I understand it, Zoe running off and outside without actually seeing her home city when the doors are opened, and by now she should know she would if that is what was outside. So impatient she ran outside without using her logic, which is her strong trait. Well, all companions have to make at least one reckless and stupid decision at one point. Here is Zoe's first. An explanation comes up later but honestly Zoe didn't need to be nudged out, she would have left out of plain curiosity regardless.

- When did Zoe become such a screamer? I don't remember this about her character at all. Victoria is supposed to be the screamer, not Zoe.

Awesome

- Gotta be put in here somewhere. It's like a requirement. Zoe's outfit.

- The whole Jamie's face over Scotland scenery with bagpipes playing scene belongs here. Such a nice Jamie scene, him getting to see home again. But it's the actual way they shot it that makes it special.

- Yes, I love model cities in early Doctor Who. The model team for Doctor Who are so creative when it comes to cities and sometimes spaceships.

- I like how they use just endless white to depict nothingness. Usually it is endless black, but nope, Doctor Who goes the opposite route to begin with.

Shitty

- This one could be my imagination, or something I heard outside the actual show, but I swear I heard a door being opened or closed halfway through the Zoe seeing her home and Jamie telling her she isn't scene while they are outside. Am I imagining things or is it really there?

In Conclusion

I haven't watched this one in so long I have forgotten how much I enjoy it when I do watch it. This is one of my ultimate faves, people. I love The Mind Robber.

This first episode introduces us to Unreality. A place outside the time space dimension, where nothingness is inhabited by a mystery voice and robots. Yes.

No, seriously, nothing much happens in this episode, but what does happen is interesting and grabs you. How can Unreality be inhabited? Who is this mystery The Master whose voice is all we hear in this first episode? Can anything truly stop Zoe when she is interested in it, compulsion or no? Why is Jamie dreaming of being skewered by a unicorn? Was it planted, or just something that jumped into his mind naturally?

On the non companion side, we have the Doctor fighting with the voice and losing the battle, but then using his own mind and voice to get Jamie and Zoe back to what he thinks is the safety of the TARDIS. Until, of course, she blows up.

Now, that is an ending.

FUCK. POLYPHEMUS WAS RIGHT. ODYSSEUS WILL BE THE LAST TO DIE.

SPOILERS FOR THE ODYSSEY BUT HONESTLY IT'S OVER SEVERAL CENTURIES OLD, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A YOU PROBLEM IF YOU DON'T KNOW, BUT BY THE END ODYSSEUS IS LITERALLY THE LAST OF HIS CREW LEFT.
