For me, other than the abysmal Orphan 55, I've enjoyed this season more than any since Season 5. I just hope that Chibnall can nail the landing.

Ive always wanted to see it as a 2hr movie.

The opening two-parter was better than anything from last season and Orphan 55 was a huge letdown from there. Last week's episode was pretty good but nothing special. This week was the best episode we've seen since Matt Smith.

I liked Capaldi's take on the Doctor, but the writing for his seasons and Whitaker's first season were not as good as the Eccleston, Tennant, and Smith.

The stories back then were a lot more subtle and knew HOW to tell a story, applauding it for 'woke' points just because it's 'current year' doesn't excuse mediocre tosh. The story was passable, but the preaching still seemed shoe-horned in there. People noticed, and, more importantly, people switched off.
Handman said:Where was the attacking? People can disagree and still have a discussion.
I'm really disappointed with Star Trek, Star Wars, and now Doctor Who for seemingly not understanding what made them so appealing to me in the first place. You mention Letts and Dicks, but they don't sit you on their lap and tell you what the moral of the story was. You figure it out for yourself through well developed characters, great plot, and symbolic themes. The way Chibnall delivers a message is condescending and with all the nuance of a sledgehammer. Even when I agree with it, I'm annoyed.
To be ashamed because other people are disappointed with the way the show is going at the moment is frankly absurd.
