Episode 378 - Ruby Who?

  • Summary

  • With Season One (14/40) of Doctor Who coming to a close, MarkWHO42 looks back on the two-part finale and the year as a whole. Who is this Doctor - does he give us something different from his previous incarnations? Has this season been building towards something or are there too many red herrings? Is Ruby Sunday crucial to this story? How does she compare to Rose Tyler, another young and naïve companion? Are we enjoying the many mysteries we have faced this season? Is Ruby’s adoption tale relevant? Her biological parents?

    Do we have more questions? Like, how amazing is Kate Stewart? Is she a product of The Doctor’s influence on her dad, which, in turn, influenced her leadership style at UNIT?

    Then, there is the big baddie - Sutekh… a blast from the past. How did he stay on top of the TARDIS without notice? What is his end game? How can The Doctor save the universe with just a spoon? Paradoxes? Plot holes? Pish-posh! Can The Doctor and Ruby turn all that around? Has Sutekh turned this Doctor’s compassion into hate? Is The Doctor now a monster? Could death minus death really equal life? What will we see next in Season Two? Will Ruby resume her adventures in the TARDIS? And just who the heck is Mrs. Flood?

    Questions, questions, questions… but do we have answers? Listen to our thoughts and guesses this week as Mark Baumgarten, Vicky Jakubowski, Juan Sanmiguel, Zion Quiros, and special guest Jarrod Cooper, break it all down for you!
