Talk:Resolution (TV story)

The News Years Eve's

I intended to update the relavant articles with what we know about the "19 New Years Eve's" the Doctor took her companions to, but I realised it's not particularly clear as to what the years were. Like, when Ryan said 2000, was he referring to the New Years Eve that was ringing in that year (31 December, 1999) or the New Years Eve of that year (31 December, 2000)?

Tuesday?

I'm sure I just missed it, but when does the story confirm that it takes place on a Tuesday?

It's on Lin's phone just as she's left the sewers. --Borisashton ☎ 02:20, January 2, 2019 (UTC)

Dalek "redesign"?

The article's intro prattles on about this being the new redesign of the Daleks since the New Paradigm Daleks in Victory of the Daleks, and I assume this is a holdover from how feverish we all were from the rumors of the Daleks being redesigned that circulated before airing. But… is it really accurate to say they were redesigned, here? As I understand it, the Resolution Dalek's special appearance and features are due to its being a Reconnaissance Scout Dalek — it's not that the shape of what are to be the default Daleks has been changed; we've just gotten our first glimpse of a nonstandard type of Dalek we'd never seen before, but which had existed all along. Saying Resolution redesigned the Daleks ends up equivalent to arguing that the Special Weapons Dalek introduction in Remembrance was a "redesign of the Daleks". --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 15:12, January 2, 2019 (UTC)

It's not a redesign because it's a different class; it's a redesign because it forged a new casing, mostly out of bits of scrap. This same Dalek, seen in illustrations about the battle, just looks like a regular Dalek.

36 Shrewsbury Road

36 Shrewsbury Road is listed as a filming location on this episode, but from memory the outside of Graham's house never appears. The inside of the house appears to be a set, due to a greater amount of space between the font door and the window than the outside would suggest. Did the outside of the house appear in the episode? 66 Seconds ☎ 18:46, January 2, 2019 (UTC)

I'd have to double check if the scene with Aaron at the door shows the house from the outside. Otherwise, you're right; my error.

Now I've checked, the front door with the knocker is definitely the same exterior as seen in other episodes. I'll adjust the note to say it's just the front door, though.

Image

Why was the image changed? I felt like mine reflected the point of the episode better with the Thirteenth Doctor confronting the Dalek, as opposed to a more generic Thirteen image. Don't mean to be rude, just curious as to why this needed changing. StevieGLiverpool ☎ 11:34, January 3, 2019 (UTC)

I figured, since a third one has popped up, we might as well open an infobox discussion:

• 

  1. 1
• 

  1. 2
• 

  1. 3
• 

  1. 4

As always, a good infobox image is one which exemplifies what the story was about, as best as an image can do. The big things in this episode were the Thirteenth Doctor's first confrontation with a Dalek, Ryan and Dad's relationship and the episode occurring on New Year's day. Naturally, the biggest one (the A Plot) is the Doctor confronting the Dalek, specifically the Dalek part. The original (option #1) exemplifies this best while the other three solely focus on the Doctor doing things that can be interpreted as being in any other episode. While #4 is the brightest, it doesn't distinguish itself as Resolution's image as it does not hit the episode's key aspect: the Dalek appearance and facing the Doctor. Hence, the image should reflect that distinction. Snivy ✦ The coolest Pokemon ever ✦ 00:02, January 4, 2019 (UTC)

Story Notes

"*This is the first full Doctor Who television story to not feature a Doctor Who logo as the opening titles are omitted entirely."

What about "The Woman Who Fell to Earth"? I'm pretty certain the logo doesn't feature in that
