Well, not really, if they thought it looked crap they wouldn't have made it.

That theory does sort of discount about the first 40 years of Doctor Who though.

To go from last week's terrible episode to this, is like day and night! What a fantastic episode. Loved the rendition of the theme in the outro too.

Yeah. The partition was merely used as a setting and I highly doubt anybody learned anything other than... well, it happened. If the point of it was to educate, then they forgot to include a phenomenal amount of integral events/points.

I mean, it's embarrassing but I knew precisely zero about the partition so it was an education for me.

I loved this

yes it was a good episode :love: also that the aliens weren't assassins but witnesses and honouring those who die alone

I loved this episode so much

Oh wow. Savage.

I didn’t think it was that great this week. And it’s annoying me how they keep running the music into the end credits.

But the music playing in the credits was the Doctor Who theme! Just a different rendition of it, I thought it worked really well, better than how Rosa did it.

This week's credits music was good, the "themed theme tune" reminds me of when Red Dwarf did it sometimes - the Hammond organ music in Ace's first episode, Elvis in the waxworks episode, and a Western twist for the cowboy episode <3

I agree it was shite in the Rosa episode though - crap song, badly used in the episode itself.

Oliver let's not start pretending that NuWho holds a candle to classic Red Dwarf by any stretch of the imagination :nono:.

S11 of NuWho doesn't even hold a candle to new Red Dwarf! (Which is still awesome)

But I agree, I was just using an example.

Best episode of the season so far tbh.

I agree!

I agree too.

Ep. 7


Ep. 8


Ep. 9


Ep. 10



Episode 8 and 9 sound really interesting. Hoping 9 is creepy as sh*t with the setting.

I hope there's some build up to that finale. It sounds interesting. I'm living for Chibnall inventing a load of planets and monsters with unpronounceable names.

I'm not gonna look at the spoilers, but there probably won't be - this last episode was meant to be episode 9, and I might be mistaken but I think even the next two were swapped around...

Urgh, just fucking sack Chibnall already.
Didn't they drop the episode count to ten so he could reliably release a season a year? If he can't even manage that, what's he playing at? And why isn't the special airing on Christmas Day? The excuse they gave is BS, "The production team has run out of festive ideas." This is the first Christmas the current production team has, so what are they talking about?

I miss RTD - he gave us 14 episodes a year, along with Sarah Jane Adventures and Torchwood! Now we have a showrunner who can't be bothered to crank out 11 per year?

I might be in the minority but I think moving Doctor Who to NYD is a good idea - we know it can work, we had it for Tennant's regeneration. This most likely won't be just Chibnall deciding to move it, the BBC will also have a big hand in it.

The production team does still consist of a lot of previous staff members.

Well sure, but each showrunner is responsible for the stories, they don't come from the production team.

Yeah, but was that during the writing?

I doubt it was filmed as episode 9 and they switched it around prior to airing.
Otherwise the character development wouldn't seem right.

Having said that, I'm having a major issue with the so-called "character development". People on DS are saying the villains are lacking because Chibnall's strength lies in the character development, but even that I've found weak.

Giving Yaz three lines of dialogue an episode and asking Ryan to monotonously mention one of his many dead family members in a scene that doesn't fit in the narrative is not development to me. :hehe:

Even Moffat was better than that.
