"Lucky Day" is this season's Doctor-lite episode and without the
Doctor around it becomes a chapter in the "Adventures of Ruby
Sunday"... which basically means, it's companion soap opera
time; Ruby gets a boyfriend (Conrad), her Mum(s) and Gran are
happy for her and all is looking rosy as the two of them head
off for a weekend away in the country. Conrad even carries
Ruby's bag for her when they get off the bus. A nice looking guy
and a gentleman too. What could possibly go wrong?
[SPOILERS]
Yes, we all knew that Conrad was going to be a bit of a
bastard... Poor Ruby. As if being an ex-companion of the Doctor
wasn't traumatic enough for her whilst she tries to adapt back
to a normal life in London without the Doctor, now she goes and
falls for a hot guy that was only faking his interest in her.
Ain't life a bitch baby?! The moral of the story is, beware of
toxic masculinity... it'll only lead you astray!
Oh, and beware of fake news too... we all know about that one
don't we? So never believe what they tell you. It's all a
conspiracy! #DemandTheTruth
"Lucky day" was almost an epilogue to last season by using Ruby
and not the current companion, as well as being a [kind of]
prequel setting up "The War Between the Land and the Sea" (Also
being co-written by Peter McTighe, who wrote this episode.) as
the UNIT crew - Kate Stewart, Col Ibrahim and Shirley-Anne, will
be featuring in that. I'm sure the line about Mel being away in
Sydney to deal with "something in the harbour" was there for a
reason too...
I'm not even sure why we still get Doctor-lite episodes when
"Doctor Who" seasons only have eight episodes now... it seems a
bit of a waste to sideline the Doctor once a season now. It
might have worked with "Blink" but that was part of a thirteen
episode season. Now, eight episodes - usually seven stories -
just isn't enough of a season to minimise the Doctor's role, IMO.
Some minor points of note; Conrad knows of Belinda Chandra, the
Doctor DIDN'T cry in this episode, Mrs Flood refers to herself
as The Governor, and with her big bunch of keys is probably
going to let Conrad out of jail... so it's possible the cad will
be back later in the season. (I'd have just let the alien eat
him, but that might have been a bit much for the BBC... "Doctor
Who" is a family friendly show after all.)
Overall "Lucky Day" was a good enough story once it got going,
but in "Doctor Who" I want to see the Doctor and his actions
drive the story... the tail shouldn't wag the dog. So I say,
less social commentary, more Doctor!!!
So my rating for "Lucky Day" is 6/10...

It's not social commentary. It's the creation of a false narrative used
to attack heterosexual men while those who are gay are allowed to get
away with sexual harassment, toxic behaviour, and sexually grooming
children. This is how these woke perverts work. One rule for them and
another for everyone else.
Men who are written as weak and socially inept are made into villains
while disgusting gay perverts that constantly sexually harass others
despite being told to stop and make disgusting comments about inviting
their companions' mothers to whistle up their arses are made to look
like heroes.
Just look are the sick mentally ill writers writing this.
So my rating for "Lucky Day" is 6/10...

Yes, Belinda was there at the start of the episode when they met little >Conrad. Doctor introduced them.
But from what time was the Doctor supposed to be?
the Doctor DIDN'T cry in this episode,
Didn't have enough screen time, did he?

When you look at what ICE is now doing in the USA, this isn’t
the time to tell viewers that anyone warning of the fascist
overreach of government agencies is actually a delusional,
lying crackpot!
Are you a Communist in disguise SP?

"Lucky Day" is this season's Doctor-lite episode and without the
Doctor around it becomes a chapter in the "Adventures of Ruby
Sunday"... which basically means, it's companion soap opera
time; Ruby gets a boyfriend (Conrad), her Mum(s) and Gran are
happy for her and all is looking rosy as the two of them head
off for a weekend away in the country. Conrad even carries
Ruby's bag for her when they get off the bus. A nice looking guy
and a gentleman too. What could possibly go wrong?
[SPOILERS]
Yes, we all knew that Conrad was going to be a bit of a
bastard... Poor Ruby. As if being an ex-companion of the Doctor
wasn't traumatic enough for her whilst she tries to adapt back
to a normal life in London without the Doctor, now she goes and
falls for a hot guy that was only faking his interest in her.
Ain't life a bitch baby?! The moral of the story is, beware of
toxic masculinity... it'll only lead you astray!
Oh, and beware of fake news too... we all know about that one
don't we? So never believe what they tell you. It's all a
conspiracy! #DemandTheTruth
"Lucky day" was almost an epilogue to last season by using Ruby
and not the current companion, as well as being a [kind of]
prequel setting up "The War Between the Land and the Sea" (Also
being co-written by Peter McTighe, who wrote this episode.) as
the UNIT crew - Kate Stewart, Col Ibrahim and Shirley-Anne, will
be featuring in that. I'm sure the line about Mel being away in
Sydney to deal with "something in the harbour" was there for a
reason too...
I'm not even sure why we still get Doctor-lite episodes when
"Doctor Who" seasons only have eight episodes now... it seems a
bit of a waste to sideline the Doctor once a season now. It
might have worked with "Blink" but that was part of a thirteen
episode season. Now, eight episodes - usually seven stories -
just isn't enough of a season to minimise the Doctor's role, IMO.
Some minor points of note; Conrad knows of Belinda Chandra, the
Doctor DIDN'T cry in this episode, Mrs Flood refers to herself
as The Governor, and with her big bunch of keys is probably
going to let Conrad out of jail... so it's possible the cad will
be back later in the season. (I'd have just let the alien eat
him, but that might have been a bit much for the BBC... "Doctor
Who" is a family friendly show after all.)
Overall "Lucky Day" was a good enough story once it got going,
but in "Doctor Who" I want to see the Doctor and his actions
drive the story... the tail shouldn't wag the dog. So I say,
less social commentary, more Doctor!!!
So my rating for "Lucky Day" is 6/10...

Well, the Doctor wasn't in the episode long enough to cry...if he did,
it would make crying even worthless than it is now. I did like Conrad >getting his arm bitten off (looks like they got it back on), and the
fact that the Doctor lives in his head rent free.
Overall "Lucky Day" was a good enough story once it got going,

Yes, when shows inject "modern" aspects of life it causes the episode to
have a short shelf life. As opposed to stories that could occur at any
time, and are "timeless".
So my rating for "Lucky Day" is 6/10...
5/10 here...just "meh".

No SP was quite clearly against what ICE is doing, quite clearly
against fascist overreach of government.
You then attacked him by calling him a Communist.
Which kind of indicates that you did not like his message.
Which to be absolutely clear (as you are hard of reading) is now is
exactly the time to be warning (at the very least) of the fascist

Yeah, you watch a TV series and there's always a couple in a
happy relationship... then when they start making plans for the
future you know... BANG... one of them dies.

Well there are a number of so-called alt-right DW commentators
(some of whom have been mentioned on here). Who hated Jodie for
being a woman, who hate Ncuti for being black and gay, who hate
non-white actors in prominent roles in the show, who hate disabled
actors in prominent roles in the show, who hated DW being trans-
inclusive. Who just constantly drip negativity about the show.
If they hate it that much why don't they just f*king turn the
TV off and go and do something more interesting instead.

not fans.

"Why Don't You?" But that used "less boring" not "more interesting".

No it isn't.
Nostalgia would be luxriating in the past highlights of Doctor Who,
watching old stories and listening to those BF audios that do try
and capture that feel.
Subjecting yourself to something you obviously hate and then
consistently be negative about it, and keep harping on about
needing to retcon something that happened years ago is the very
opposite of nostalgia. It does not engender the warm fuzzy
feelings that one associates with nostalgia.

Too easy, obviously.
Some people like subjecting themself to pain and misery
... it gives them something to complain about.
Now-a-days there are plenty of options!!
Too many. Which is why TV shows nowadays need to be more about
telling a good story and keeping people engaged. If people get bored
halfway through a show, they'll just switch over to something else,
and if people really dislike a specific show, they won't watch it
again.
Viewer ratings are down everywhere because people have too many
options and they can dip-in and dip-out of TV shows to find something
that interests them.

I can't get my head around people who continually watch a TV
show they claim not to like. It just doesn't make any sense.
It is caleld nostalgia.
No it isn't.
Nostalgia would be luxriating in the past highlights of Doctor Who,
watching old stories and listening to those BF audios that do try
and capture that feel.
Subjecting yourself to something you obviously hate and then
consistently be negative about it, and keep harping on about
needing to retcon something that happened years ago is the very
opposite of nostalgia. It does not engender the warm fuzzy
feelings that one associates with nostalgia.

Overall "Lucky Day" was a good enough story once it got
going, but in "Doctor Who" I want to see the Doctor and his
actions drive the story... the tail shouldn't wag the dog.
So I say, less social commentary, more Doctor!!!
The social commentary has dated badly in the year or so since
the script was first written.
When you look at what ICE is now doing in the USA, this
isn’t the time to tell viewers that anyone warning of the
fascist overreach of government agencies is actually a
delusional, lying crackpot!
Are you a Communist in disguise SP?
WTF are you (a supposed Liberal) doing stanning Trumpian policies
wrt ICE (and probably more)?
That is SP not me!
No SP was quite clearly against what ICE is doing, quite clearly
against fascist overreach of government.
You then attacked him by calling him a Communist.
But Binky would have no idea what a Communist is. He would be hard
pressed to explain what a Liberal is .... and Binky claims to BE a Liberal!!
Which kind of indicates that you did not like his message.
Or it just gave Binky a chance to POST .... to post anything!!
Which to be absolutely clear (as you are hard of reading) is now isI'm guessing that "amoung us" is a reference to the wider world "us"
exactly the time to be warning (at the very least) of the fascist
tendencies among us and in particular in government.
rather than just this little group of us's. ;-P
Well there are a number of so-called alt-right DW commentators
(some of whom have been mentioned on here). Who hated Jodie for
being a woman, who hate Ncuti for being black and gay, who hate
non-white actors in prominent roles in the show, who hate disabled
actors in prominent roles in the show, who hated DW being trans-
inclusive. Who just constantly drip negativity about the show.
If they hate it that much why don't they just fucking turn the
TV off and go and do something more interesting instead.
Now-a-days there are plenty of options!!

I reject Socialism and conservatism. Donald Trump is now the poster-boy
for republicanism worldwide?
My question to SP is that he is acting like a communist.
YOUR failure to manage The King's English comes to the fore, once again, >Binky!!
First YOU, Binky, state YOU, Binky, are asking a question (My *question*^^^^^<-Paedophile talker noted

Or go for cancel culture.
That's what the haters are doing. They want Doctor Who cancelled
as they don't like it. They are not happy for the people who do
like watching Doctor Who to carry on watching it... no, it has
to be cancelled so nobody can enjoy it.
What's even worse... they will take perverse delight when Doctor
Who is cancelled by the BBC and think they've achieved some sort
of victory. And then have the cheek to call themselves Doctor
Who fans!

Too many. Which is why TV shows nowadays need to be more about
telling a good story and keeping people engaged. If people get
bored halfway through a show, they'll just switch over to
something else, and if people really dislike a specific show,
they won't watch it again.
Viewer ratings are down everywhere because people have too many
options and they can dip-in and dip-out of TV shows to find
something that interests them.

There will always be some sort of trope in an ongoing TV series.
A seemingly good guy that is really a bad guy is fairly common.

A script is telling a story, there will usually be some sort of
message. Okay, maybe sometimes it can be a bit more in your face
these days as writers and producers think we are all stupid. But
Doctor Who having a message is nothing new... for instance, "The
Green Death" (from 1973) had a message in the script and it
worked well within the story... it was not in-your-face "soap
boxing" the way modern TV shows go about it.
Just as there's always a twist at the end, there's always a
message to get across.
If it's that predictable, it's no longer a valid element of a
story.
Depends on what the message is and how good the actual story
that it's wrapped up in is. It doesn't always have to be a
political allegory... but there's usually some sort of a
message somewhere, even if it's only subtle. Unfortunately RTD
doesn't tend to do subtle!

Between the Land and the Sea"

But you said something about setting up. What was there that

The spin-off show "The War Between the Land and the Sea", which
will feature the UNIT characters featured in this episode... as
well as the Sea Devils.
(This has been mentioned here before.)
Stay tuned until November/December for the answer.
What? Why then?
That's when "The War Between the Land and the Sea" will be
broadcast...

I'm sure the usual suspects will complain about it once it does
air though... the Sea Devils didn't exactly go down well on
their last outing three years ago.

To be fair, I didn't think much of "Legend of the Sea Devils"
either... the story or the Sea Devils themselves. So it'll be
interesting to see how they are depicted in the spin-off. (Not
leaping around like Super Mario hopefully!)
