skarosdronesDemons of the Punjab. The story was compelling, it looked great, it put a spotlight on an often forgotten piece of history, and it didn't feel quite like anything the show's done before.
It Takes You Away. I thought the Antizone was cool (or at least my inner 13-year-old did) and it made me cry over a talking frog, which is more or less exactly what I want from this show.
Rosa. Pulled off a somewhat questionable premise for a show like this, started some conversations, and I actually did like that the villain was just some random alt-right coded dipshit.
The Witchfinders. It was... pretty fun. I'm not sure if the beginning deliberately called back to the line in Beast Below about the Doctor not interfering with other peoples or planets unless there's children crying, but kudos if it did.
The Woman Who Fell To Earth. I was excited when I first watched this because Jodie was good.
The Ghost Monument. It was bad in a different way from when Doctor Who was the last time it was bad, and for a moment that can feel similar to being good.
Resolution. Just like Dalek except without everything that made that good and a clunky joke about those damn Millennials and an uncompelling subplot about Ryan's dad.
The Tsuranga Conumdrum. Boring. It pretended it had a big theme about hope and stuff but it didn't. Seeing gifsets and stuff I thought that the Pting would appear near the end, and before that it would seem to everyone like all the problems were caused by some hostile force instead of a little animal just trying to survive, but that would've put a theme in the actual story and we can't have that now can we?
Arachnids in the UK. Also boring. Maybe if they'd given the appearance of Biggest Spider an actual buildup and had had the team have to think to come up with a nicer way to kill the spiders that actually made sense it would've at least been memorable.
The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos. I had fun watching it, but that was because I was making fun of it and was also drunk.
Kerblam! Man, you're really going to use this show to tell a story about corporate exploitation being good actually. I kinda want to vomit. What happened to not just giving up and making a stand and saying no? I get that not everything I watch is going to have the same political opinions as me, but there's that and then there's like, basic morality.
