Join our messy TARDIS crew as we dive into "Rogue,” episode 6 of Doctor Who Season 14/1 — a story that feels like a "D&D one-shot campaign" with its Regency era setting, shapeshifting villains, and the Doctor falling hard for the charming but mysterious Jonathan Groff.
We analyze the Doctor's emotional journey from avoidant to uninhibited, the significance of the first on-screen queer romance and kiss, and speculate on Rogue's true identity. We also heap praise on Millie Gibson's Ruby, who continues to prove she was perfectly cast.
Other topics include:
- The Doctor's romantic history and emotional growth
- How companions bring out the best (and worst) in the Doctor
- The Chulder's motivation and potential for returning
- Hopes for Rogue's return and character development
