Proof I could never be the showrunner if ever it was needed. Confirmation that I cannot predict shit as well. Here is my final look at my predictions I made before the series.
1. Space Babies
I'm thinking Partners in Crime vibes, but in space, and with babies!! So actually, nothing like Partners in Crime!!
I mean I didn't really predict a lot to be honest, but it was kind of like Partners in Crime, and it had babies in (what do you mean that was obvious?!).
2. The Devil’s Chord
I believe this is the Beatles one which also stars Jinkx Monsoon?! So potentially a musical episode? Ruby trapped somewhere, the Doctor teams up with the Beatles, maybe music somehow rescues Ruby and the day!
Ruby did get trapped, and music did save the day. I didn't predict music would disappear and this would be a camp classic though!!
3. Boom
Now I do know this is the one written by Steven Moffat. I think so far Bad Wolf, BBC and Disney have done well to keep things under wraps, or maybe I'm just doing a good job myself of staying away from spoilers. So The Moff, off the leash, I'm thinking stepping on innocent every day things that become bombs, that's kind of his MO isn't it?
Nope, all wrong, completely wrong. Zero points for me!!!
4. 73 Yards
This is the one RTD said was the best thing he's ever wrote. Does the pub sign mean anything? The promo looked like a haunted pub, they also said about going more in to fantasy, so perhaps a pub that's been haunted for a long time, maybe something is 73 yards away from the pub causing it? Thank god I don't write the scripts eh?!
Something was 73 yards away, but the pub didn't play as big a part as I originally thought it would! It was also an absolute banger of an episode and I didn't predict that either.
5. Dot and Bubble
A town in a bubble, trapped from the outside World. The Doctor and Ruby fight a regime to free the town so they can become free.
Now I feel like I was kind of on the right track here. I obviously didn't predict they were all racist shits that didn't deserve (or want) saving though. This is close enough for me to be patting myself on the back as I type though.
6. Rogue
This is the Bridgeton ep I assume. Again, there are not too many clues to it. Is Jonathan Groff a hero or villain? I'm going to say he looks like a villain but is actually a hero, it just wouldn't be right if Kristoff was the baddie!!!!! People hiding in plain sight who are aliens, infiltrating the World.
I was on a fucking roll here. I think I was spot on bar predicting they would be cosplaying birds, but did anyone have cosplaying birds on their Doctor Who bingo card?
7. The Legend of Ruby Sunday
A big bombastic episode, everything revolves around Ruby, clues from previous episodes join together for a dramatic conclusion, maybe a returning monster, could Jinkx Monsoon play a bigger role in the series? Set them up in episode 2 then unleash all hell in 7 and 8? Will the Daleks return? Surely if this is set up for a whole new audience they will play a part somewhere?
In a word, nope!! No Daleks, no Maestro, although it was a returning monster so half a point for that.
8. Empire of Death
I'm saying Ruby is in a whole world of trouble by the end of episode 7, the World/London is in peril and the Doctor needs to save the day. As is often the case I am pretty sure Ruby will be the one that eventually does the saving, but I hope Ncuti gets a big moment or two saving the day throughout this run! Jinkx or the Daleks causing chaos, big explosions, then something simple to save the day, very Doctor Who!!
It was the Universe in the shit not London. Walking the dog and a whistle saved the day so I got that bit correct I think. I class sand storms and disintegrating people as explosions as well because I am making the rules up.
Whilst I am here, what am I expecting for Christmas? Joy to the World. Millie is in it I believe? So the Doctor pops in to see her on her birthday, then they somehow end up being hurtled into an adventure. Maybe they hear something whilst they are having a chat. I am going to predict a monster from the past. Daleks? Cybermen? Only time will tell...!
