S2E5 - You're a Beautiful Woman, Probably: ROGUE

Season 2 · Episode 5

Thursday, June 13, 2024 • Duration 58:03

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.

The Rubbish crew was bowled over by this Doctor-lite episode, which focuses entirely on new companion Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) as she finds herself abandoned by everyone she cares about...while stalked by a mysterious woman who maintains her titular distance.

Topics covered:

Overall thoughts on this dark, grounded horror episode
Ruby's fear of abandonment and how the episode explores it
The lack of The Doctor and Ruby having to solve problems on her own
The prime minister storyline as political commentary
Questions around the mechanics of the time loop and Ruby's nature
The use of old age makeup (or lack thereof)
Magic in the Whoniverse and whether it will continue to play a role

Plus, in a Tardis Rubbish tradition, Kelly and Michael reveal their favorite Doctors.
