I enjoyed this episode. Was as other have mentioned a bit cluttered but it all seemed to tie together and I liked that it fleshed out the companions.

I think the biggest issue I have this season and the last for that matter is 3 companions is too many. The Dr usually runs with 1 or 2 but 3 just doesn’t give enough screen time to the Dr herself o…[Read more]

Okay episode. I don’t mind having political or social messages shoved into my who but this felt a little forced.

Wrap it around a well paced, entertaining, fleshed our story and everyone’s a winner.

I don’t think this is a bad episode but as others have said it had some obvious issues. Fingers crossed we get back to the arc this week and away…[Read more]

Well it’s about time. This feels like who, this feels like sci fi, this feels right. Plenty going on, all of it interesting, let’s hope they continue down this path.

i get the feeling that the time lords destroyed themselves. That is the imperial empire time lords killed off the isolationist time lords, why I’m not sure but if they were attem…[Read more]

Yup loved it. An obvious improvement over last weeks Orphan.

The only issue I have with using real life people is the fact that they are real, we know a lot about them and the writers obviously have an opinion on both Edison and Tesla, neither man was perfect and it complicates things.

Concentrating on the virtues of Tesla and ignoring the less…[Read more]

Loved the season opener, very my type of WHO. This on the other hand I have no compulsion to rewatch.

Pacing seemed off and it introduced a lot of characters, rushed through some very sloppy character development and had way too many redundant scenes.

It’s a stand-alone episode, which does not add to the season arc hinted at in the opener w…[Read more]

@pedant

in Tim Shaw’s case sure I’m willing to reduce myself to the most depraved

If killing monsters is depraved then I’m depraved

@pedant

Im actually against the death penalty in most cases.

This is not real life, this is TV. Tim Shaw is an evil being, responsible for the deaths of countless people and almost the genocide of 5 planets. On top of that he’s clearly in pain.

I do believe a creature of that level of evil deserves death and suffering as he is deserves the s…[Read more]

@bluesqueakpip

All fine points. However the Dr strives to be better then those she is fighting, a constant inner turmoil throughout dr who’s long history. Clearly the compassionate thing to do is to put him out of his misery, he’s old, beaten and helpless. Locking him away evil or not for the rest of time is far worse than ending him.

Same  co…[Read more]

Yeah this was not the way to end a season. Okay episode but it’s all over the place and a lot of it made no sense. Thing that bothers me is bringing back Tim Shaw the self proclaimed god, clearly on life support, incapable of supporting himself, 1000s of years old, locking whole planets in prisons and then beaten by a retired bus driver with a l…[Read more]

So I rewatched this episode and it’s still good but something about the resolution rubs me the wrong way and I can’t put my finger on it.

I’m a sci fi guy and their is some big sci fi elements here but they seem to fall flat. The frog at the end is certainly whimsical but a disembodied voice would have worked better for me or anything reall…[Read more]

Not sure about this one. Certainly didn’t dislike it but somethings not sitting right. Can’t put my finger on it yet though.

ill have to rewatch it

This episode seems to have disappointed a lot of people including some within my own circle of friends. As I nentioned I really like the episode, but perhaps I approach who in a different way.

I consider myself a fan, been watching since the start of the reboot and I enjoy most episodes, some more than others but I always find something to like.…[Read more]

Solid episode. Thought they were originally over doing how camp king James was but he acted the part so well I was on board by the end.

I much perfer my historical episodes with a big dose of sci fi and happily this didn’t disappoint. Found the dr far more doctory in this episode for lack of a better expression and this was really the first t…[Read more]

This is the kind of who I love. Loved the episode, tickled me in all the right places. When it started I was thinking “planet of the ood” which I also loved. Went in a very different direction but felt similar.

The villain I honestly did not pick, my money was on a virus. Anyway, less character building chances for the main cast and a huge foc…[Read more]

I liked the episode. Certainly made me feel, which is always good. The aliens did nothing for me though, I just couldn’t get into them.

The story itself was well written, acting good, nothing wrong with any single element but when brought together they just didn’t gel for me. I think WHO is at its best when it’s not steeped in real world histo…[Read more]

Loved it but I have one massive issue with this episode that I am unwilling to get over. Why did Ryan not fist bump Graham. I’d have totally fist bumped him. Boo Boo I say.

Yeah not my type of episode. Way too many loose ends And script and villain seemed shaky. That aside love graham, Walsh is playing the character very well and I love that we have a mature companion again.

Seems obvious now that Ryan and yas will end up shacking up at some stage. Plus loving Jodie as the dr, though this episode didn’t do her j…[Read more]

The thing that strikes me as odd is, Ryan and graham haven’t asked the question “if this is a time machine why can’t we save my wife/grandmother”.

I was almost expecting it to come up in this episode, presumably she’d be alive at the other side of the pond in 1955, thought the question may have come up, her name certainly came up a lot in the ep…[Read more]

Fantastic. Such a powerful story about such an important part of history. The acting was excellent and the script likewise.

I usually like my sci fi separated from real life events, but this was done perfectly. I’m glad they didn’t play down what a horrible racist, society 50s America was.

Since we now know that the stenza are not a throw away one episode villain and would appear to be shaping up as this seasons cybermen I think it’s pretty reasonable to assume that their appearance on earth was not random.

If they were to be prepping for an invasion it would make sense that they would try to weaken earth in some way before hand. I…[Read more]
