Christmas Show

[clearspira]

Bryan Cranston was in The X-Files: Drive and was in Contagion.

A pandemic themed film would make sense for the 2020 Christmas ep I guess.

[BridgeConsoleMasher]

I'm guessing Contagion for such reasons as well.

[RobbyB1982]

I didn't want to go with Contagion BECAUSE of the year and we already had Andromeda Strain twice but the clues DO seem to have whittled it down to that being the only option at this point. It was one of the only options like two clues ago and now...

I knew that there was no way on Bob's green earth that he was going to do it, but part of me was hoping that our congenial host was going to do The Timeless Children this Christmas. You want to talk about the worst of the worst of the worst? You can't sink much lower than that.

Is that the one where they retcon the First Doctor as actually being a black woman?

Yes, it's the conclusion of the most recent season (series? idk).

All I know is, based on this, Chuck has broken the unwritten ''worst of X'' rule for Christmas.

I suppose Contagion could be said to be the worst film in the Contagion series. It's also the best and only.

In that case, yes, it is the worst episode of Dr Who period. Because y'know, the one where Six strangles Peri is horrific, and the one where Ten has to deal with pig Daleks is nonsensical; but at least none of those episodes rewrote literally everything we know about the main character. By putting in a ''Zero Doctor'' for lack of a better word it steals William Hartnell's legacy - which offends me more than the act itself frankly.

So yeah, i'm with Dr Wheelz. It won't be this year but hopefully the next.

[Robovski]

Yeah, the episode where moon is an egg is a terrible story? Hold my beer, here comes The Timeless Children. Whole season suffered from being largely boring and then a massive retcon to the entire franchise... I don't know if I'm going to bother watching the New Year episode or anything else from the current production team.

I only watched the first ep of the current Doctor due to not liking having too many companions and I was glad to recently hear they're pairing them down again back to a more sensible number. Not helped by some serious Who-fatigue of having such a good actor to play the Doctor so badly wasted with so many just plain bad scripts and sodding Clara.

So I admit to have not watched the episode in question, and yet I still can't believe there's an episode worse that the moon-egg one. Nope, can't be done. Even Love and Monsters or Fear Her were so much better than that.
