Sherin, Philip, and Alice Meichi Li are back and circling the Tardis in a riveting Doctor Who episode aptly titled, “Baby, What’s Wrong with the Universe?” They embark on an exhaustive journey through each episode of the exhilarating 14th season, with a particular spotlight on the fifth episode, “Dot and Bubble.” This episode, more than any other, sparked a flurry of animated discussions and debates about the underlying themes and the complex characters that the series introduces.
In the course of their discourse, they arrive at the epiphany that the 14th season is essentially is diagnosing the societal ills of our time (the way a good doctor should), a notion that was corroborated by Russell T Davies in a conversation with Sherin.
As they near the end of the episode, Sherin, Philip, and Alice share their predictions about what twists and turns await us in the final two episodes of the season. Ending with the questions: What is Ruby Sunday’s secret and how much of an “impossible girl” she truly is.
