Had the time to sit down for a watch of the second Dr. Who special episode for 2023, with David Tennant as the 14th Doctor. Found this one much more enjoyable than the first one, as the episode was focused on just the two characters (The Doctor and the Companion), in a spaceship at the edge of the universe.
So there was a lot less of the additional references and information that went into the first episode. Or at least I think there was; as the old Rumsfeld Matrix went, the episode could have been filled with unknown knowns. As a novice viewer, how could I know.
There was some fun stuff there with the idea of “slowness” that I want to get into; there’s at least a couple places where it’s been mentioned in sci-fi that I can recall, and the overall themes of knowning, not knowing, and unthinking thought carried through as well.
I’ll bring up the connections in the next recap episode, which should be out later this week. Until then.
