Doctor Who Russell T Davies ADMITS “COMPLETE NARRATIVE COLLAPSE” In Empire of Death! | THIS IS BAD!

there are numerous problems with Empire of death such as the ridiculous notion that suek is obsessed with the identity of Ruby’s mother and speaking of Ruby’s mother it turns out she’s just some random woman so what was the point of the snow that appears throughout the season yes I’ve heard the explanation that Ruby believes the snow is special so it becomes special but that’s hardly an explanation so yes the episode has many flaws so much so that even the usual Defenders began expressing their

anger immediately after it aired and now it seems even RTD is criticizing his own work RTD points out complete narrative collapse in the Doctor Who finale it pains me says showrunner Russell T Davies does it pain you too in Empire of death just after Melanie bush is revealed to be suk’s latest victim the Tardis does something it’s never done before and according to Russell T Davies speaking on the bbci player in episode commentary something it will never do again bring me the time lord and the child and their precious secret demands

suek in response a cloaked haret arbinger pulls a lever out to the console of the TARDIS that’s currently parked in in unit Tower as a result of her lever pool dead male Ruby and the doctor are instantly transported across time and London from the Department of Health in 2046 to units HQ in 2024 Mel’s dead and so doesn’t remark on it and the doctor seems totally unfaced but Ruby does the sensible thing and looks around her with an expression of what if we could hear her thoughts along all the stress about her mom and the death of

the universe she may well have been thinking I bloody said it was like a m transporter in Star Trek Ruby’s right to look confused because hang about if the Tardis can suddenly transports people who aren’t in a taret across the decades then it’s just turned into an extremely over engineered wardrobe if you don’t need to actually be inside the Tardis for it to Chuck you through space and time then all of Doctor Who’s we must get to the Tardis Peril goes out of the window this fact didn’t go unnoticed by

Empire of death writer Russell T Davies speaking on the finale episode commentary with actor Bonnie Langford and super producer whatever that means Vicky Del RTD expressed his frustration because of the absence of the remembered Tardis we have complete Nar narrative collapse at this point where the Tardis just invents a Time beam that transports you through time and space we’ve just invented something we’ll never use again I hope we don’t where the Tardis can just whoosh you through time and space

without a tardis it pains me I blame everyone else we’ll just forget it never again at this point in the episode as originally scripted RTD explains the remembered Tardis had collapsed and disa appeared after depositing the dror Ruby and Mel in 2046 that was an sfx sequence too far for this already packed episode and so it was cut from The Script it’s good news that it was because the remembered Tardis went on to provide the Easter egg field setting for a series of classic Hera doctor companion reunions in Tales

of the TARDIS originally created just for Empire of death Davies conjured the idea of reusing it as part of do whose 60th anniversary celebrations and having it floating through the vortex giving old doctors and old companions treats and rewards in the final episode The remembered Tardis doesn’t collapse but for some reason isn’t used to get the doctor Ruby and dead male back to 2024 I like to imagine it drifted away said rcd on the episode commentary lost its anchor slipped its Moorings drifted away

into the time Vortex and became the tales of the TARDIS remembered Tardis my main issue with the most recent season is the lack of explanations for all the going on I understand that Russell is steering the show in a more Fantastical Direction and on the surface I don’t have a problem with that however I’m beginning to think the only reason he’s doing this is to give himself a way out whenever someone asks him why something happened or what it means he can simply respond with well magic obviously or

something along those lines and it comes across as lazy in his first era there are witches werewolves and beings with seemingly magical powers but they are all explained away with some techno blabble about how they are actually aliens from another world and the reason they can do what they can is down to a lot of sci-fi mumbo jumbo it may be nonsense but at least there are explanations foundations to hold on to so that the stories make sense even if they aren’t grounded in realism as I’ve often said about 73 yards the first half

is a 15 out of 10 the setup is brilliant I love the tone everything about it but the second half really should have BR everything together and explained some of the more crucial elements of the story I didn’t want to know everything I’m fine with not being told what older Ruby said to everyone to make them flee but why she is sent back in time where the doctor goes after the first couple of minutes of the episode those are fairly reasonable questions that should have been answered I don’t criticize

this current ERA solely because of all the messaging it’s also that Russell seems incapable of writing a coherent Story full stop all his most recent stories give you a headache if you think about them for too long because even he doesn’t seem to have the answers to most of the questions fans are asking tell me what you think about all of this in the comments section down below don’t forget to like share and subscribe and I will see you in the next video take care
