The coffee in the Tardis scene was, imo, meant as tongue in cheek, more like a comedic turn. Tate played that scene with the appropriate measure of fun-poking, not taking it as a serious plot device.

On the larger question, it may well be that the BBC intends to strip Dr Who from the original fan base otherwise why would they double down on a losing strategy?

I'm just guessing, but rewriting history has been a developing theme in RTD2 so far. Davros isn't in a wheelchair, The Doctor doesn't remember Beep the Meep and now Newton looks completely different and they don't have the word gravity anymore. And the Doctor says himself that his spilling of salt could have some serious consequences. RTD himself said that the effects in the intro mean something and that the next Doctor's intro will be slightly different. I'm pretty sure Davies is deliberately showing that the timelines are changing. We've literally seen it happening with gravity changing to mavity at the beginning. The next season will be all about the Doctor trying to repair the damage to the timelines. Heck, I could even see them reverting the Flux and Timeless Child stuff with that. It didn't use to be like this, but through the Doctor's Meddling the timelines were screwed up

When he says gravity, the people he's with look at him slightly puzzled. He corrects himself and says mavity. The sheer genius of this show, it's about time travel and over the span of 6 decade's, the attention to detail and reaching backwards and forwards through time to explain the small idiosyncrasies in the whoniverse is truly remarkable. I suppose you have to either pay attention or be smart to catch them.

What did you think of the villians? How the doctor and Donna’s relationship developed? The pacing of the episode? Acting of David Tennant and Catherine Tate? Wilf returning at the end? Extremely surface level video that just exposes the grifting because you can’t call any element of the episode that actually mattered bad.

Because here's the thing -- if the "quick jab" or "joke" had been the other way around - that is, a group of males saying that to a "self-presenting female," you'd be crying "SEXISM!!!!!!!!!!!" from every rooftop. So spare me your double standard bull shit. You can call it whatever you want, but this isn't the first time a "quick jab" has been tossed in to tear down males for the sake of propping up feminism. In _"Spyfall," Mi6 makes some remark about how "the description we have for the Doctor is a male," to which the Doctor replies, "I've had an upgrade." Again, implying that "being a woman" is somehow better than being a male. This is what people like you call "a blow for equality." It's not equality if you're claiming superiority. *_Why did he pretend to be sick after licking the panels? It does nothing for the story._* "Why did he lick the panels?" is the question.

People need to stop thinking of these as 60th anniversary specials. It is not doing anything to celebrate the anniversary and the only way they would be considered "specials" is if they were made in addition to the usual series, which these aren't. These are three episodes you are getting in place of a normal season and they're calling them "specials" to con you in to thinking 3 episode seasons is good.

I am frustrated people are letting their emotions get in the way of an objectively well crafted episode of doctor who. This is the best episode the show has had in like 5 years. Probably since Heaven Sent. Honestly by getting so fussy over this episode which is genuinely good you dont seem too different to people who defend bad movies/shows because they align with their emotional biases.

This was a special illustrating the future of Doctor Who. With an entity unlike anything we've seen before. The edge of the universe is a concept which is thourougly explained, so this 'excuse' for the bad CG team is just pathetic honestly. Can't believe this came up in my recommended.

Yes, it is true that the first special was a bit disappointing due to how much needed to be juggled but when it comes to the second and how it masterfully deconstructs Donna and the doctor as characters while dealing with one of the more terrifying villains so far probably since the midnight entity is only beaten by the likes of heaven sent and blink.

The whole episode was completely underwhelming, teasing us with an intriguing sci-fi premise that could have been Doctor Who's answer to Event Horizon - a deep, edge-of-reality mindf*** with just two characters testing their relationship to the limit - and completely squanders that opportunity in favour of cheap verbal and visual gags. As it was, the only mindbending stuff was the Doctor claiming never to have been beyond the limits of the universe before despite having done so in the Tom Baker story 'Underworld', which RTD *actually cites* as an influence in a recent episode of the official podcast. Further mental gymnastics were on display later when, despite the fact the Doctor was chastised last week for assuming the Meep's gender, he confidently assumes the alien captain this week is female (having given no indication he's familiar with the species), and Donna takes it as read. So in other words, it *is* OK to assume someone's gender, unless they're...uh... (cough) The Isaac Newton scene at the beginning was as superfluous as it was obvious CRT lip service. Without it, RTD would have a given us an episode containing only white people and therefore been in breach of the BBC's Diversity & Inclusion rules. But why race-swap Isaac Newton instead of simply giving us a historical British Indian character? I was chatting with someone else about this. He thinks it's because RTD was too in love with his incredibly witty "mavity" joke that foreshadows the reality-distorting antics of the Toymaker next episode. I maintained it was because RTD knows full well that Britain wasn't as ethnically diverse as the BBC keeps claiming it was, and so therefore if he wants his historical gag, he has no choice but to rewrite history and gaslight anyone who complains. Then again, this is the guy who thought burping wheely bins was a good idea, so maybe the other guy has a point.
