Spectacular answers
Look, I'm optimistic about the new season until proven wrong, but even I wince at that kind of hollow hyperbole. The episode previews have been promising enough that I'll be happy if the season arc is cohesive and sticks the landing.
Unfortunately, I also know that it's when RTD aims for "spectacular" he tends to lose sight of the basics.
No lies detected.
If it hadn't been for the "Mrs Flood will be in every episode" bit, I may not have shared it at all.
I do admire RTD's dedication to hype, though.
Implying RTD knows what the basics are.... (i kid i kid)
It's weird because they spent a season playing with Ruby's mom, Susan, Sutekh trying to tell us that important character identity twists are bad, and now here's a new important character that'll have a big identity twist? Really?
I don't know if the message was that identity twists are "bad," so much as a bit of a deconstruction of what "importance" is.
And in all fairness, the Mrs. Flood mystery was very present even at that time.
In hindsight, not "bad" I suppose, but when they had the big Ruby reveal, they were definitely making fun of everyone who was freaking out just like Sutekh in interviews and everything.
WHHOOOOOOOO
