Really want to like this, but that was bilge.
It wasn't that good....I could rant for hours about the silliness, but there were major flaws in the science that a first-year pupil at senior school would have spotted after at most their third chemistry lesson:
Flames in a CO2 atmosphere, for f

ks sake ks at the end.I'm pretty much done with it - I've kept watching in the hope it'll improve, but it keeps on failing miserably.
Yesterday's effort was particularly awful, nicely finished off with an unwelcome and patronising monologue about saving the planet. There's a time and a place, and that wasn't it.
Oh well, back to Watch for my fix with re-re-re-re-runs of Tennant and Smith.

I thought the monsters were quite good if you wanted to frighten a 3 year old. The story was preposterous and contrived to deliver the underlying climate message. The program has sunk to a new low and I have no desire to be preached to by the BBC. As I have said before, the new Doctor doesn't cut it and the writers are terrible. Such a shame that a program I have watched since William Hartnell has turned into this fiasco.

Next week the Doctor regenerates into Greta bloody Thunberg! What a load of cobblers
And since when did she get the ability to read minds & make people forget about her (like last week)?
(Im sure someone will point to a 1971 episode where it was mentioned in passing!
)
Not a 1971 episode, but the mind reading was used on Madame de Pompadour in The Girl in the Fireplace (2006), and the mind wiping was used on Donna Noble in Journey's End (2008)And since when did she get the ability to read minds & make people forget about her (like last week)?

People are entitled to their own opinion, but I would strongly suggest that anyone who thought that was anything other than complete total utter garbage is quite frankly, a fking idiot!
Thanks king idiot!I quite enjoyed that, a good old fashioned base-under-siege story. Lots of good dialogue and banter, a half decent twist, scary monsters (for a 6 year old), good special effects and no more than half a dozen plot holes.

I suppose the question is could they have done much more with the Eccleston/Tennant/Smith/Capaldi track?
When the scope is all of time and space the answer should be yes! Jodie is just crap.
Anyhow we'll always have series 1-10.
p.s. What's with the 16:8 ratio used in the last 2 series, why not 16:9? Everyone has 16:9 TVs, why waste 10% of the screen on black bars?

Yawn!
Took me three attempts to watch ep. 1 as I kept falling asleep.
As with Capaldi, I don't blame Whittaker, I blame the writers.
Favourite bits are the title music - can't describe the effect but it's a few seconds in when the music slows dramatically - and the drums being resurected to get the Master's attention. It did remind me how much better the Simm episodes were and used it much better though.

So this week we had rip offs from Planet of the Apes (the original) when they discovered they were back on earth in the future, Terminator, the futures not set and a party political broadcast on climate change. The BBC seem to have forgotten that this is an entertainment programme, it should have new fresh writing and be a break from everyday life, not a reminder filled with random scenes of previous films and TV.
I think that Graham should be removed as he is the best of the companions. Best doesn't mean most worthy.
I realise the special effects would be an extra expense but I can't see why they don't replace Graham with a Dodo that the Doctor saves from extinction
The Dodo could serve a great purpose it could warn of impending danger and be an ongoing reminder that we have made some species extinct.
