海外TECH	Engadget	Doctor Who ‘The Robot Revolution’ review: Meet Belinda Chandra	https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/tv-movies/doctor-who-the-robot-revolution-review-meet-belinda-chandra-190054697.html?src=rss	Spoilers for The Robot Revolution The start of any season of Doctor Who is important doubly so when there s a new co star to introduce The Robot Revolution has to get us to fall in love with Belinda Chandra Varada Sethu ensnare new fans and keep existing ones hooked Especially since it s the second of two series that Disney paid for meaning it s got to do well enough to keep the money flowing We open years ago with Belinda Chandra staring at the stars next to her boyfriend Alan Budd Jonny Green It s an awkward teenage date with Alan clearly trying to win the heart of his beau by buying her one of those star adoption certificates In Belinda is now a nurse at a busy London hospital where in the background the Doctor is searching for her Belinda goes home to bed and we see that she s got the star ownership certificate framed on her wall But she s rudely awoken by a squad of retro futuristic s robots in a Tintin rocket who have come to abduct both her and the certificate The Doctor reaches her home just in time to see the rocket take off and cue the opening credits The certificate wasn t a gag present and she is actually queen of the planet BelindaChandra populated by BelindaChandrians I m calling them humans from now on The Doctor gives chase in the TARDIS but both the rocket and TARDIS get caught in a vaguely defined time fissure When Belinda arrives she s greeted by the human Sasha who tells her the robots are in charge having overthrown and subjugated the people in a bloody uprising a decade prior nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp Oh this is a bit like Jupiter Ascending I wrote in my notes Belinda is taken to a throne room where she s told that she must merge with the planet s evil ruling supercomputer the AI Generator AI Generator all skull shapes and Tesla coils intends to bond with Belinda She is shown an animated demonstration of her fate as she is wrapped in machine parts and made into an unthinking cyborg nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp Oh that s like the scary bit from Superman III I wrote in my notes Who s been lurking in the background of the scene all along The Doctor who has adopted the title of Planetary Historian Thanks to the time fissure he arrived here six months ahead of the rocket the Robots seized the TARDIS and he s been working with the rebellion He s even got a new companion Sasha who he s promised to take to the stars when this is all over He tells Belinda the robots can t for some reason hear every ninth word spoken and gives her a coded message telling her he and the rebellion are here to rescue her In the ensuing fight Sasha is vaporized much to the Doctor s admittedly brief horror and grief The surviving rebels along with a little Roomba bot assigned to clean Queen Belinda s pathway nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp Oh like the floor cleaning robot M O from Wall E I wrote in my notes escape to a teleporter after which the Doctor disables the Roomba to ensure the robots can t track them down then kisses the bot by way of apology Then comes time for the episode to stop while we see the Doctor and Belinda interact properly for the first time The Doctor was told about Belinda s plight by someone from their future and he can t say more lest he muddle the timelines Alistair Heap BBC Studios Disney Bad WolfThe time fracture both vessels passed through has caused plenty of time bending issues like the fact the robots have their own copy of Belinda s star certificate But it s not a copy it s the same object from another point in time and nobody knows how or why they have it Belinda like Ruby Sunday before her is trope aware enough to know that two of the same object from different points in time cannot occupy the same space lest it cause an explosion nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp Oh like in Timecop I wrote in my notes There are wounded at the base and Belinda instantly kicks into nurse mode grabbing IVs and treating patients She s quick to take charge and has no patience for nonsense quick to defend herself from any hint of condescension when the Doctor suggests something timey wimey is going on She refuses to allow anyone to fight her battles for her and is determined to grab the narrative and shape it her way no matter the cost So she sneaks off reactivates the Roomba and offers herself to the robots in exchange for them sparing the lives of the rebels Belinda and the Doctor are taken to meet the AI Generator which turns out to be the AL Generator When Belinda was kidnapped by the robots she mentioned her ex Alan had bought the certificate and so they went to kidnap him as well But the time fracture meant Alan arrived a decade earlier fused with the machine becoming a creepy cyborg and started the robot uprising Even so Belinda s happy to sacrifice herself to him until she spots Alan holding his copy of the star certificate She opts to Timecop the two pieces of paper together causing a big timey wimey explosion that only the Doctor can pull her out of Belinda is safe but the Doctor mentions that he s now intertwined with Belinda s timestream Alan meanwhile has been regressed to a sperm on the floor that the Roomba bot quickly mops away Reunited with the TARDIS the Doctor scans Belinda and reveals he s already met her descendant ーMundy Flynn also Varada Sethu from last season s Boom Belinda may be curious as to how someone that far removed from her may be identical but she s not embracing the mystery She s angry with the Doctor for scanning her without consent and that he s treating her like a puzzle to be solved Having seen Sasha die she knows trekking around with the Doctor is dangerous and wants to get back to May But the TARDIS won t land on present day Earth and even the Cloister Bell begins ringing a warning They open the TARDIS doors to see empty space before the Doctor decides to take her back home the long way round Once the ship disappears a series of objects start to float in front of the camera A smashed up black cab the twisted wreckage of the Eiffel Tower Belinda s star adoption certificate and a calendar with all the days in May but the th ticked off Uh oh It s a lot to get through in such a short episodeAlistair Heap BBC Studios Bad WolfLike a lot of Disney era Who The Robot Revolution feels overstuffed to the point of bursting On one hand nothing overstays its welcome On the other it feels like the show is burning through a movie s worth of plot on fast forward It s hard to get a tangible sense of the stakes given how rushed everything is and there s a lot of telling rather than showing We re told the planet is under the brutal thumb of an evil overlord but it plays out as little red ships firing at buildings in the digital matte paintings We re told Alan is a creep but we never really get any sense of that until after he s revealed as the villain We re told the Doctor is operating on instructions from a figure from his own future but it d be nice if some of this was depicted Davies was pivotal in reviving Doctor Who and building the cultural juggernaut it became under his leadership His role in the show s history is secure but even so his Disney era series seem to be in thrall to the work of his own successor Steven Moffat The Robot Revolution features a macguffin found inside a mundane trinket a split narrative and time bending shenanigans It s not that Moffat owns these ideas but you can almost feel Davies trying to bend his less formal more character driven style into something else A cynic might suggest Davies is reacting to the slight of not having a single credited episode in Doctor Who Magazine s most recent poll of the series greatest while Moffat has five In fact I wouldn t be surprised if the slightly frantic gappy nature of this script is a deliberate ploy to lay the framework for the rest of the season But even so you can feel a degree of straining for a storytelling model that doesn t quite work If the script is the weakest part of the episode then the production design has to take the crown for strongest The retro futuristic robots call to mind a bright red Ford Thunderbird or Chevy Bel Air while the cleaning robot is clearly styled on a VW Beetle It s a rather humanistic design I wish the robovac makers of today would emulate Behind the scenesJames Pardon BBC Studios Disney Bad WolfDoctor Who is a regular source of gossip especially given the permanently tenuous nature of the star role It s easy to say the lead is about to quit and for that to sound true given they leave after three or four years in the role anyway There are a number of recent reports suggesting Ncuti Gatwa has already quit the show or is about to Many of them also suggest the BBC and Disney are refusing to greenlight new episodes until they see how successful this season is In addition the BBC says funding cuts and inflation has seen its budget fall by billion around billion in real terms since It doesn t help that when asked directly about the future of the series in an interview with the BBC s youth orientated news show Newsround Russell T Davies opted to equivocate in a way that suggests the show is about to back on ice I mention this because of the sequence where Belinda defeats Alan with the certificate and the Doctor pulls her out He says she needed a Time Lord to absorb the enormous amount of energy kicked out when she touched the paper together The Doctor then clutched at his back as if he was in a lot of pain but shrugged it off and was fine for the rest of the episode Fans with long memories however know that absorbing a lot of energy from the time vortex is what killed Christopher Eccleston s Doctor back in Well that and Eccleston s decision to leave Mrs Flood CornerLara Cornell BBC Studios Disney Bad WolfIt seems Mrs Flood enjoys moving in next door to whoever is winding up as this year s companion While being abducted she calls to her neighbor to call the police and tell her parents she loves them As the rocket lifts off she tells the audience that we haven t seen her and goes back indoors to avoid encountering the Doctor who sprints out in pursuit This article originally appeared on Engadget
