[Doctor Blues @replies]

Wasn’t impressed with this one. In most of the episodes this season I have found there is a lot of dialogue (mostly not related to the actual plot), and that the plots are, in reality, rather thin. I think Chibnall’s emphasis on character development is a detriment to the story. We are also in urgent need of a good monster / villain.  The monsters are the most important part of Doctor Who. I think Chibnall wanted to steer away from anything too “familiar” to bring back people who had stopped watching (no Daleks, Missy / Master, Cybermen or Time War stuff), but what we’ve had so far have been poor substitutes.  I’m glad the ratings show that the show is reaching a wider audience, but so far the series hasn’t overly impressed. Still, 5 episodes to go and (I believe) a New Years day episode, so fingers crossed we get better stories – and villains.
