too much toilet humour, and not enough story.

i don’t know.. there was so much story that it felt like it was moving at breakneck speed and I didn’t get any time to process any of it, especially with the lore dumping going on. Far too much toilet humour though, I agree.

@gotthejam there are oh so many places on the internet for you to rant about ‘woke crap’ and make weird comments about consequences and impressions from drag queens. This just isn’t one of them.

wow @miapatrick, well said, well said.

The political messages about aslyum and abortion is shoe horned, not the fact that non binary people exist in Doctor Who. It’s a strange take I must admit.

The Beatles was a misstep I think. Those who enjoy The Beatles seem sad there was not more of them and their songs, and those who don’t enjoy The Beatles didn’t really care for their inclusion at all, By taking this middle approach, you barely please anyone.

This is just a theory so grain of salt in mind, but The Beatles’ Let it Be restoration is coming to Disney+ very soon, the cynic in me thinks it could be some meddling. But then again, it could just be coincidental.

There were plenty straight white guys in both the two episodes and in the 60th special so it’s not “everyone.” It’s strange how diversity is the fixation of people’s complaints on the political correctness, and not the overt and not-so-subtle messages on abortion and asylum seekers. It feels like a convenient shield to hide behind real disdain for trans people, rather than any sort of conviction on the merits of political messages in media

Awesome episode, was a true successor to The Giggle in a lot of ways. Highlight for me was the anxiety 15 felt in the middle, that felt very real.

I found it interesting how much of the “up to speed” moments were blazed through this time around. That moment where they are staring out into space and Ruby wants to call her mum is basically a retelling of The End Of The World.

That being said, aside from a few funny moments and the Doctor’s realization at the end, I didn’t find it to be a particularly strong episode and I much prefered The Devil’s Chord, the whole baby thing wasn’t doing it for me.
