![DID IT SUCK? | Doctor Who [SMITH AND JONES REVIEW]](/img/n.gif)
It was the most Doctor who-ish episode this series, but in any other series, it would have been a filler story between better episodes that advanced the series meta plot.
Of course, this year there is no series meta plot, and the other episodes have all been more like the Sarah Jane Adventures meet the magic school bus, so Kerblam stands out head and shoulders above the rest.
I thought they said they're wasn't going to be something like that
Robert Tuttle I hope not. Tim Shaw had a cool design, but there's nothing that really sets the Stenza apart so that I'd want them to appear again, especially as the conclusion to a meta plot.
Remember when Steven Moffat said he was not going to bring back the master? It's sort of an obligation for the show runner to lie. Let's hope Chibnell actually has something decent up his sleeve.
Sarah Jane Adventures is more Doctor Who-ish than all of the episodes this series (apart from Kerblam)
TheRunningStef At this point we might need a cameo with David Tennant or Matt Smith just to get the show back on tracks...
I told my friends it would be exactly like postman pat the movie as a joke, little did I know...
I know, can't believe I didn't make the connection.
So postman pat is an assassin using bubble wrap to murder people 😂 jk great comment btw
Lol.
Am i the only one who gets this last thing in the episode was not needed
and the doctor just did murder?!
You people do realize that changing the Target was necesary but the actual activating of the Bombs was not, yeah?!?!
The Doctor ADDED a command, instead of just changing it. Instead of doing the necesary, she did one more thing.
The Bombs had not been fated to activate and the Human Boy had not to die.
Am i the only one who noticed that???
Wow, this is such bad writing, I'm amazed.
Notice how if The Doctor didn’t swap group loops with Graham, she would’ve been with Charlie, like the SYSTEM wanted. This episode is cleverer than it lets on
Too bad the rest of the episode wasn't half as clever.
It's nice actually seeing an episode with rewatch value isn't it
James K everyone keeps saying this like it was God’s gift to cleverness? I mean, wasn’t it obvious once we learned the villain? Are our expectations that low now that that’s what we’re impressed by? Jeez
hardfugoo1 It’s not that deep, just something I thought was overlooked
@@warfionproductions6580 I'm sorry. I don't want to see Kerblam again because the CGI was so cringeworthy etc.
While it was OK, there was a big point that broke it for me.
That's after the girl gets kill and the doctor finds out and instead of being mad or angry about she actually approves of it, because it was meant to make the guy understand how other people would feel.
There have been other doctors in similar situations and they got angry after any death even when it was for a "good" purpose.
„Theres Nothing Wrong with the System!!“

Seriously, this Episode is laughably bad, even for this objectively bad Season.
Absolutely amazing. Being the absolute Opposite of the character known as The Doctor is one thing, but this? Wow.
Fans of this Episode, get a grip, get a holf of yourself, and go watch the now-legendary 5-hour Review Jay Exci made about Doctor Who;
or at the very least the Part of the Video that is about Amazon, uhm, wait, i meant to say Kerblam.
and the concept of "doing something bad(murder) for the greater good" is already established as something against the Doctor's belief and should never be the case unless in dire situations, in previous incarnations
@@loturzelrestaurantThanks for that quote, it makes her big speech even more hypocritical, seems like Harry needs some pointers from Jay's epic critique. :)
@@MadScientist512 May i ask if you like big criticism video essay in general or just the one by Jay?
@@loturzelrestaurant Not usually, but Jay's above-and-beyond entertaining and meticulous breakdown of the core problems with the current show kept me hooked for the full 5 hours.
I was strangely surprised that this episode didn't turn into a Cyberman revival episode, it had all the pieces: Workers going missing, a bunch of humanoid robots, a central sentient AI, that wired human mush pit, random heavy uses of power which could have been a hint towards the conversion process. I was expecting the help me to be a human who got converted but still had a shred of their humanity, but hey ho nostalgia
This episode is that one cherry you get in a can of mushy fruit cocktail.
Slightly better than the rest of the mush but still tastes the same.
Lol.

The doctor is initially assigned to maintainance before swapping with Graham because the system was trying to tell her it was Charlie so she could sort it out without management noticing.

All the people are snoring!
I don't think this series is boring!

Funny how the best written episode in the series is one of only 2 that aren't written by Chris Chibnall, and took everything from the Postman Pat movie. Still a pretty crap episode by any other standards though.
Laurus is remind me also that electric dream episode autofac

I talked to Lee Mack 3 years ago and he said that he really wanted to be in Doctor Who
At the very beginning, Ryan says "what's that?", before anything actually appears in the tardis. The editing is so atrocious.
Holy shit, I didn't notice that. How is this on the BBC? It's like a sloppy student project at times.
@@cailancook9720 I've seen better produced UA-cam content
@cokexanerplay I guess but if so its still poorly made as it is so unclear and compared to some other instances, it was executed awfully.
@cokexanerplay I didn’t mean to be petty, sorry about that, but we can all admit show has fallen in quality since Chibnall has joined
Lol.

9:51 He might've survived. Just in a full body cast, and permanently paralyzed.
I thought every other episode this series was boring, about half way in I found myself actually thinking this was Doctor Who again. After that I became bored again by the absolutely shite conveyor belt scene and the ending. Honestly this is the worst series yet.
Don't compare this series to doctor who, it doesn't deserve that honour.
Its amazing how well a average episode from 6 years ago can do with what they are giving us now.
It's the best episode so far, but that's not saying much. If this episode was in Series 4, it would be the worst.
Second worst, still better than fires of Pompeii
I freaking hate the kerblam man. It’s so creepy. Not, weeping angel levels of creepy, but creep me out. I don’t know what it is but they make me feel uncomfortable.
Reminded me of the Smilers.
The Smart-Casual Gamer. Exactly.
First comment I had on the episode other than "Oh! It's Amazon in space!"
Lacuna Leora true. At first I thought they were turning people into kerblam men. It’s kinda sad they aren’t but I still find them creepy.
Lacuna Leora I would’ve loved to see Yas becoming a Kerblam man. It’s a nice way to write off a character AND it punches a hole into the feminazi PC attitude the show has now.
Your indignation over a man falling for 5 seconds and not dying always makes me laugh
Best episode of the series so far.
A Piece of Garbage 04 I agree
Which isn't saying much.
ShamockParticle why is everybody crapping all over series 11?
Woman who fell to Earth was great
Ghost monument was a snore except for the last 5 minutes
Rosa is amazing but the pop song should've been removed
Arachnids in the uk is riddled with plot holes. Unless they bring the spiders back, this remains the worst episode of the series
Tsuranga conundrum is alright
Demons of the Punjab is quite emotional
Kerblam is the best of the series
So overall we've only had two crap episodes. This is a basic series of Doctor who but it's not terrible in any way.
I personaly thought it was rather meh, but not actively bad. I'd rank them as follows for how much I've enjoyed them:
1."Demons of the Punjab"
2."The Woman Who Fell to Earth"
3."Rosa"
4."The Ghost Monument"
5."Kerblam!"
6."The Tsuranga Conundrum"
7."Arachnids in the UK"
@@flibbityfloo1779 when this series is bad it's really bad and I have yet to watch an episode and come out of it saying "yeah that was a good doctor who story". Some of them have elements that make them effective pieces of television but as doctor who episodes they're really sub-par
I love how the doctor gets mad at Ryan for wanting to kill some ugh... Sniper bots... But then straight up murders this guy
They might as well get rid of Yaz because she serves no purpose. she’s meant to be a police officer but couldn’t restrain Charlie who doesn’t look like the toughest of guys.
Also the moral of the episode would be that ‘Do a terrorist act in order to get your own way,’ by that Charlie blew all the robots up and got his wish of getting more humans employed. Which is obviously a not a good moral to have (I know they didn’t mean the episode to come across that way).
I’d give the episode a 5.5/10
Harley Hayes-Scott
To be fare most British police seem incapable of restraining suspects nowadays
Why was Yaz even a police officer? It's had no bearing on her character or role. In the spider episode a man pointed a gun at her - her being a police officer was fucking useless.
Also, too many companions bogs this series down. It's already too short at 10 episodes now each episode seems to swap between a focus companion - so we only scratch the surface of multiple people instead of getting indepth view of one. Also it's a new Doctor and we get less time getting to know her female form.
Snag Prophet this is late but ty! In terms of nuwho, 2 companions with 11 worked well because Rory came on later so the Amy x Doctor dynamic was already established. But with this I can’t really see who is closest with the doctor or who is even in charge. They don’t seem like they support each others character arcs they’re just slapped together
I actually would've quite liked it if it was either just Graham, or Graham and Ryan, or just Graham with Ryan occasionally joining them like Micky Smith did. Would've been a way better dynamic, a lot more fresh and original, and we would have been able to get to know the characters better. Yaz brings absolutely nothing to the story, other than a potential love interest to the Doctor (and sadly, to tick off a box).
5:11 Never heard of Postman Pat movie, but the visuals are so similar that I can't call it an homage, just theft.
Doctor who needs it's scare factor as much as the action. It's why I have enjoyed Post Tennant era so much less (heaven sent mind you 😍)
I kinda felt that with resolution
AzureRathalos 97 I mean the 10th Doctor had a lot of scarier moments than 11, but 11 was a lot more comedic with the acting
My guess the building didn't collapse from the explosions can be either because the bubble wrap just had explosive force to kill a person, therefore it's basicaly half what a grenade can do, or because, you know, futuristic technology means stronger structures.
I’m worried about this doctors future regeneration, every regeneration up to here has been stemming from a fairly dark and serious episode, usually the doctor facing a powerful enemy and typically trying to fight the dark side of their personality but I just can’t see this with this doctor, she takes barley anything seriously and all the villains up to here have been quite small and fair easily defeated. I feel like they would either bring back an old villain (Daleks, cybermen etc) or make a new probably sup par villain. I just hope the show gets better before then but again great review, keep it up !!
It was the best episode of the series... which sounds like a compliment doesn't it. But no, it was the only one that wasn't shit, well done Series 11, you got one!
He wasn’t trying to ‘kill the potential workforce’ he was trying to breakdown trust in the company and in automation, he literally explains it in the episode
Connor Davies and how would that break down trust in automation a computer only does what it’s programmed to do so people would assume sabotage
I hope youre gonna make a "did it suck" of the new fantastic beasts
Appearently its just waiting to get ripped apart.
Well I mean it was pretty good
@@ontos8534 ha, i wish
He literally had a cut in this video saying I thought the new movie sucked ass btw
I liked it.
Nobody seems to have noticed that we never see the inside of the Tardis when the doors open and people get out anymore.
12:22 Jodie - do not react, you are the saboteur
Tidget Ahahaha can’t beat Trapped!
This comment brought back memories
I actually used to think the guy in that was Christopher Eccleston.
@@OptiJams I remember once when a girl was informed she was the saboteur, then proceeded to look up and stare at the ceiling.
XD YES! I'm happy someone remembers that!
there is no issue of CGI, it's doctor who - low budget.
Arachnids in the UK actually had great CGI, not a fan of the episode overall though
9:47 even the fourth doctor couldn't survive heights like that
tbh I like the little callbacks to previous doctors
OHMYGOSH. I JUST REALISED KERBLAM GAVE THE DOCTOR GRAHAM'S JOB BECAUSE IT WANTED HER TO FIND OUT CHARLIE EARLY ON!
Ok so if the Doctor swapped colours with Graham on those anklet things then did that mean that she was meant to be the janitor? Haha lol
Yes. The advanced computer assessed her intelligence and assigned her to clean the loos.
@@dlschgo The system wanted the Doctor to be with Charlie cause the System knew.
Agreed on the conveyor belt scene. Also I’m never a fan of weird gimmicky threats (WHY BUBBLE WRAP). It immediately takes the seriousness out!
Also can we talk about story arc? Anyone else thinking there’s one being set up for the finale about the demise of humanity in the future?
Ep 1: humans are hunted
Ep 2: humans on a game to win money and contestant wants to use money to save her family
Ep 3: villain is sent back in time but not dead
Ep 4: N/A as set in present day Earth
Ep 5: felt like doctors without boarders but in space (intergalactic unrest?)
Ep 6: assassins now witnesses to the lonely dead
Ep 7: humans are now being outnumbered in workforce by automation and sounds like life is pretty miserable for the people of Kandoka.
I would love to see a 2 part finale that tied these all together. The idea the humanity didn’t prosper immediately after leaving earth and actually almost ended due to it’s own undoing/new threats from space would be an interesting way to complete these very “human” themed series.
i think it was similar to the "nobody ever notices the janitor" logic: if he'd send bombs somebody probably would have noticed. but no-one checkes the bubble-wrap.
Bubble wrap isn't a gimmicky threat, it is a non obvious clever way to place an explosive. It is the same ideas that terrorists use in real life, people overlook common every day items, like bins, toothpaste, a water bottle etc so they are not studied carefully nor stick out...So make the perfect improvised weapons.
Using this idea has helped people evade arrest, many serial killers have a modus operandi, if it is something like stabbing the victim 100 times with a specific knife it is easy to link the victims, then use evidence from each victim to piece together clues & catch the killer. However if the link is more subtle like all the victims visit the same knitting website, that is something most would overlook & not think to mention, so the victims are not linked & the murder not found.
Also personally I always take mass murderer seriously, no matter its delivery.
Sadly, none of that happened, but that would have been really interesting to see. It is easy to imagine that humanity didn't find its footing immediately when they "took to the sky" as they were out of their depth, with no idea about the universe and some other beings probably would not have taken kindly to them. I wish we've got to see that instead of that "meh" season finale.
This episode is about as good as The Idiot’s Lantern, which is award winningly amazing for this series of Doctor Who
Is it just me that thinks the Kerblam episode brakes the Tardis lore. Because the Kerblam man teleported in AND out of the Tardis! If a godamn amazon shipping company has the technology to TELEPORT INTO A TARDIS (which is a different dimension ) then why can’t the Darleks ?
They could just teleport them self’s in and the doctor out simultaneously. And when the doctor got teleported out of the Tardis for the first time HE WAS SCARED SHITLESS. So what’s with the darleks being less advanced than BLOODY HUMANS!
Metriod Boy darleks? Brakes? Please can you spell correctly next time lol
Metriod Boy it's likely that the TARDIS recognized the delivery bot as nonthreatening or that it contained a cry for help and intentionally let it through the "firewall."
what if the tardis knew it was a cry for help and let it in so the doctor would recieve it. its not the first time the tardis did things like that.
I think it's more like the doctor ordered something, so told the TARDIS to let the delivery arrive. Though I agree with Alden above - We also saw Donna teleport inside during The Runaway Bride, and the crew teleported inside the TARDIS during Asylum of the Daleks, so perhaps there's a setting that lets through things in distress?
The eleventh doctor makes an Kerblam! order, he thinks hmm, where should I send this? Ah yes, he says, it will need to be the tardis. Ooh, I better let Kerblam through the shields in that case.
Here we go!
Love the strictly joke.
I felt the same about the first shots of Kerblam
So true about the Postman Pat similarity
Agree on the traditional opinion
I feel the ending in the hanger was really well done. The delivery of the lines was exactly what his character was (in my opinion) desperate. His plan was about to be foiled and he had lost his love. Love is a powerful emotion. Another example of this is the end of the Order of the Phoenix book. Harry's pain at loosing the only person he had ever been able to love was so great that he became something that he wasn't. To me a similar thing happen to Charlie. When Kera dies (due to his bomb) he blames himself (the same as Harry) but tries to blame others (the system/Snape) for doing some irrational. All be it in HP just smashing a few instruments but the concept is still there.
The thing I love about this episode is that it's that:
Waters of mars
Blink
Knock knock
The bells of saint John
Bad wolf
The eleventh hour
The Hungary earth
Sleep no more
Listen
Flatline
The pilot
Smile
That really makes you fear something that you experience in your every day life that makes the show trully horrifying.
My ranking for Kerblam would be a 9.5/10.
> The arc was great
> The reference to Agetha Cristie was clever given the who dubnit type episode
> There were subtle nods through the episode about the true villain
> The episode did a great job of making you feel attached to key characters that would make their death more impactful
> The episode makes logical sense
> The music was great
My only criticism is the CG in the opening scene as described in the video. I can cope with the scene on the conveyer but not with the one at the beginning.
That's why it gets a 9.5/10
Who dubnit?
I'd give it an 8
Big LUL
I completely agree with you!
You sound dead; this Season is killing you.
The "little finger touch of death thing" is Venusian Aikido. A callback to the 3rd Doctor.
She should've done it on the police officer in the Rosa episode. Or used her psychic paper. I would've been interested to see what it would tell a police officer in order for him to accept a black guy, Ryan.
@@Snagprophet yeah I've always been quite critical of the Doctor's selective use of his talent with Venusian Aikido.
I was wondering why they didn't run but just stood there as the kerblam men exploded. But if every bubble in the bubble wrap was packed with explosive green stuff wouldn't there have been more of a chain reaction?
(Yeah, yeah budget).
They deliver all over the universe not just Kandoka
The building was all of the moon so since the building goes so deep it may not have had too much of an effect
I didn't see the inclusion of the fez and the mention of "The unicorn and the wasp" as bootlicking, BTW. The latter was just the sort of continuity reference the Doctor engages in all the time.
The inclusion of the Fez did a lot of work:
- It explained why the TARDIS let the package materialise on board (it knew the Doctor had ordered the package)
- It was a cute bit for long-term fans.
- It reinforced that the Doctor is both sorta still the same person as Matt Smith and sorta not. "Does it still suit me?" was very much a reflection of the "Who am I now?" question that every new Doctor goes through.
- As a bonus it follows on from the season 5 throwaway line "Well I can always get another fez...".
I thought that was a really neat idea, honestly.
@ilikebacon That's arguably true. But the Doctor has always tended to voice random thoughts out loud without expecting the companions to be able to answer. Thirteen in particular often seems to like narrating her entire thought processes.
It would also be fairly tricky to fit a moment into the episode where the Doctor chats to a mirror on her own.
There's probably a little room to refine the scene, but I think it worked well enough as is.
@ilikebacon "Does this still suit me?" is a question you have to ask someone who can actually see you. A literal mirror would be necessary if you wanted to ask it of yourself. The companions can tell her if it suits her, even if they don't know what she looked like in it before.
But more importantly, it's never been the Doctor's style to mumble to themself. When the Doctor has a thought, they tend to broadcast it to the room.
What would the actual benefit be to having the Doctor act out of character here by talking to themself rather than the surrounding people?
BTW my personal answer to the question is yes, the fez still suits her. :D
This was the most Doctor Who episode of the entire season (i watched after this review), it's a shame it's back to being shitacular this week.
I imagine that the building didn't cave in because it's mostly made of stone. When the girl we say explode died, thick walls of stone and a pane of glass were enough to contain the blast.
The fezz was actually a reference to a episode with the 7th doctor were he weres a fezz and says to his companion "remind me to order a fezz"
4:50 My mind went to the film adaptation of iRobot, where there's a warehouse full of the newest model robot.
For some reason, the premise reminds me of the first episode of The Sarah Jane Adventures, where aliens try to take over the world using orangeade or something.
Why does noone talk about how the doctor basically murdered Charlie
Tells him he is the problem with the world and follows it up by forcing the robots to cause an explosion that seemed unessescary
And did nothing to try to save charlie
I also make Wirrrn grub costumes with my leftover bubblewrap as they're really handy in a tight spot
You need to see The Pirate Planet and The City Of Death
Both amazing stories
I was looking forward to watching this. v happy to see that you gave it a chance, it can be difficult to do that if a season has had as many up and downs as this one. Fingers crossed that the season only continues to improve
Y-you mean you haven't seen The Sunmakers? City of Death? Pyramids of Mars? The Talons of Weng- Chiang? The Ark in Space? You haven't even seen The Brain of Morbius?
Leon Trotsky ikr Time for a crusade! The best of Tom Baker shall be embraced! Not even any parts to the key of time? At least Ribos Operation?
@@warfionproductions6580 yeah ikr, Harry needs to sort it out
The Fez was like Disney Star Wars with the fan service to try to convince everyone that this is the same show we know and love
This would have been the ideal Christmas episode because of the cross reference with gifting poke at Amazon and some politics of such places. That would have worked for Christmas Day.
I'm really enjoying you reviewing these every week
i pop my bubble rap like any normal person
Kerblam is hands-down the best episode of S11 but overall, any time a sci-fi show is compared to Trouble with Tribbles and the tribbles win, you know your goose is thoroughly cooked.
I twist the bubble wrap and turn my neck and crane my back to sound like I've got aching bones :)
But seriously did the robots remind anyone else of the angels from the space Titanic?
Yes!
The finger trick is venusian aikido, which is mainly used by the Third Doctor
I thought the witchfinders was good. The scene where the doctor is tied up talking to James 1 and he literally back slaps with the whole “you hide behind the name doctor” sort of thing was really good and I think that we were really shown more to Jodie’s doctor.
Brilliant review, I thought I was the only one who recognized the Postman at similarities, oh dear god!
Little bubbles I ignore. Bug bubble wrap I slice with scissors before tossing.
So a note about the fake setting. At 2:27 the four metal box things are actually the part of the barrage at Cardiff bay a location i have done a photo shoot at and recognise the angle. this means that those boxes, the black poles and the surface they are walking on are real but the factory is fake (it should be a cliff). i think the fakeness comes from the fact the real and cgi have been merged really badly and you can just sort of tell...
Damn he hasn’t seen any Troughton episodes
Downton 654 I know, who is this muppet!?
He's not a fan of and has barely watched the Classics.
I’ve recently rewatched it and it pleasantly surprised me, not groundbreaking stuff but I thought it was enjoyable enough.
A detail I did appreciate on rewatch is that the Doctor was originally assigned to maintenance where the saboteur was working.
Just a little show of the system trying to help out.
Love the postman pat parallel.
The references to past Dr's & episodes aren't to suck up to the previous writers but as little things for the viewers to notice.
You have to know that a lot of Dr Who viewers like to think they are incredibly clever & are the only ones able to notice small hints like this & track what it relates to, or come up with a crazy theory trying to fit it all together.
It’s fucking weird to think that this doctor has been around for 2 years,
The one thing about this episode I really didn't like is they took a major part of cannon Doctor Who lore and tossed it out the window. The TARDIS, which is supposed to be impenetrable, is easily entered by a delivery robot transporting into the TARDIS.
Apocalypse Now reference is always appreciated
If you really don't pop your bubble wrap, then that makes you p o w e r f u l
When he says that he'll talk about bad SGI later you know that scene where Yas and Ryan go throw the tunnel of the bad Visuals and packaging
Throughout the episode I thought that the missing workers would be the Robots and that the Robots would be autons.
those robot humans reminds me of the robot taxi driver from total recall (the good one) the one where Quaid( Arnord's character ) question it about how he got in taxi Yanks it off then blows it up by insuiting it
I tend to reuse my bubble wrap for sending fragile packages of for when putting items such as glassware or crockery into storage. It is also one of the items that the local authority now recycles.
Q. How do the people of Candoka afford these lavish gifts if they're mostly unemployed?
A. They don't need to. Kerblam! delivers offworld (it even delivers to TARDISes mid-vortex!) so it's customer base needn't be Candokan, only it's workforce. Market forces again - set your business up somewhere where labour is cheap like China, and then sell to planets that are wealthy like the US. That's the big threat of globalism isn't it? That any improvement to standards of working conditions in a developed country will only motivate more out-sourcing to countries with poor standards of working conditions.
Q. Would he survive 5 seconds of falling?
A. What's the acceleraton due to gravity on this MOON? I know there's no indication that the moon's gravity is any different from Earth's in that they don't bounce around the corridors, but maybe the error is there rather than here, or maybe there is artificial gravity at selected parts of the warehouse.
Perfectly scored by the way; that's probably where I'd have placed it too.
I seriously don’t understand the hate for this season. It’s not at all bad, but whatevs.
different moon gravity for the falling thing? idk
I watched postman pat when it was in claymation
I don't have WiFi at home at the moment and I can officially say that not being on the discord for the episodes airing is the W O R S T. I need the pure levels of sass and sarcasm the server emits to survive these episodes.
"smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast"
I use bubble rap to pad my windows in the winter. The air pocket helps keep the cold glass from making the indoor air colder. It's a useful feature.
I don't understand why they were scared of the wrap at the end. I am pretty sure Ryan popped a bubble at the beginning. If it were going to explode it would have then and the doctor would have been investigating an attempt on her life and the murder of a companion rather than a cry for help of ambiguous origin.
I absolutely love you use the Simpsons Hit & Run soundtrack in the background of your videos xD
*So far this season sucks worse than a broken vacuum cleaner!*
Sooo it doesn't suck?
@@her0880
Well, you got me there mate!
This episode didn't suck as much as the others but overall, season 11 sucks dogs balls... And not in a good way!
Your statement could be thought of as a compliment... actually it reads more as a compliment than your intention. Not the greatest analogy lol

*Well, it's good if you're the dog I guess!*
Don't you mean it sucks better than a Dyson?
*** Spoiler Alert *** That the explosions at the end didn't take out the whole building I think can be attributed to several factors: 1) the level of explosive in the bubble wrap was more at an anti-personnel level, much as what you'd have in a landmine, as opposed to an explosive charge designed to take out a building. 2) the charges went off in a large, hangar-like space, giving room for the concussive waves to dissipate, rather than be concentrated in a small space. 3) The detonations were sequential from side and rear to front, rather than simultaneous, so by the time the robots at the head of the "army" set theirs off, the shock waves from those at the rear had already faded. They did mention at the end that the delivery area would need serious repair, but the damage wasn't total.
the whole shipping scene reminded me of the scare floor from Monsters inc.
It wasnt kissing Stephen Moffat's ass, it was completing a brick joke, "I escaped, love it when I do that. Legs, yes, bowtie, cool, ... I can buy a fez" That fez she got IS THE FEZ HE BOUGHT
Your intro goes with any music!
But does it go with attack on titan?
@@mark4930 Yes 😂
My nitpick is "do the thing that every person with bubble wrap does!" Just say "pop the bubble wrap" what's the point of jumping around the point?
Are you sure that Postman Pat movie was for kids? The robots in that movie were creepier and genuinely scarier than the robots in the episode!
I fucking died when the strictly music played
Can I just point out that the message of the episode is "terrorism is how you get change"? The lady said she'd make the workforce more human less automated, which wouldn't have happened if the guy didn't try to blow people up?
At first I thought this was an ok episode. Then I thought on it. Then I thought on it again....
In short I don't like this episode that much now so I gave it a 4/10
I reached the end of this video and realized something. You don't pop bubble wrap. Hypothetically if anyone in universe also doesn't, there's going to be a lot of sanitation workers getting blown up while compacting trash.
I was actually beginning to think that the kerblam men were actually Cybermen
It did feel more traditional
