It’s a great episode I think.

I’m going to float my theory:

The circle binds Mad Jack. Who Mad Jack is can change from person to person, but it is the politician for Ruby.

The Doctor steps in the circle and Ruby reads two notes. First note is “I’m lonely”. Second note is “RIP Mad Jack.” The Doctor disappears, Ruby gets a follower at 73 feet who wildly scares anyone who talks to her, but people only notice her if Ruby points her out first. 1/3 #73yards

For those who missed it in the merrineum, my effort to put @elittlechild.bsky.social's mind at rest that there is an explanation of what's going on at the heart of #DoctorWho #73Yards, and why it's better if you don't get one. buttondown.com/cooray_smith...

We finally started watching the latest series of Doctor Who yesterday. Just now watched the episode "73 Yards" which has been the best of the first four, bizarrely featuring very little Doctor at all. We particularly liked the scenes in the pub at the start. Welsh people being incredibly rude to English visitors? Ah, yes, that takes us back to our times in Wales.

Don't get me wrong, I loved #73Yards from a cinematographic standpoint. I also don't have a problem with not all mysteries being resolved. In general. However, not all mysteries are alike. There are central mysteries that have to make sense, to make the story work. And the twist/reveal in the end (I've read several theories), does not.

"Ruby, oh... the rocks and the water, it never ends – the war between the land and the sea."

A not so hidden hint in Dr Who episode’73 yards’ that a spin-off is imminent.

Doctor Who spin-off gets update as 'filming start date revealed'

Season 14 previously dropped a clue about the long-awaited show.

After a somewhat promising first part, the season finale for #DrWho, #EmpireOfDeath was another monumental letdown. Zero plot, incredibly unsatisfying resolution, rubbish use of a classic baddy, and poorly handled adoption scenario, mostly disregarding Ruby’s true mother: the one that raised her.

#73Yards and #DotAndBubble aside (and some elements of #DevilsChord), this was a really weak season. Bad enough that I’m not eagerly looking forwards to more #DoctorWho. Which is really quite sad.

I think #dotandbubble and #rogue should have been swapped in the order this season of #doctorwho

Two doctor-lite episodes in a row (following from #73yards) feels...unsatisfying.
