Doctor Who- returns for series whatever it is 11/5/24 | The Grand Moff is back!

I am dreading it for its potential to completely strawberry float with established Who lore in a typically hamfisted Chibnall way.

At least I can rest safely in the knowledge that no matter what they do or how badly they strawberry float it up it'll still be better than anything to do with Rose or Martha.

Caught up with the last episode now, not the worst of the series but not a great setup for the finale either. Irish stuff didn't feel integrated well and obviously the drones were strawberry floating stupid. The whole opening was poor really but it did pick up once they got on the ships.

The trend of people saying what is happening shows no signs of slowing down either. Such bad writing.

I'm assuming that the Irish stuff is setting up the backstory for the lone Cyberman in some way but the way they left it just makes it feel random at this point.

i really hope they dont mess up the lore too much

edit: remember what i wanted to say. anyone else get the feeling that theyve said every thing you know is about to change forever a lot? or am i just thinking of torchwood?

I'm not sure I liked that at all. :dread:

"What.... What!?" might as well just rename him Cribbers now.

Hated that reveal. Absolutely hated it,

Overall it was entertaining but i have some issues. Gonna spoiler it as it’s a bit long

Nice shoutout to borusa

loved every second of that episode. except when yaz is on screen. still don't like her. everything else though, pretty fantastic.

kind of broke the canon a little

Well, I think I hated that reveal. Shite.

Why is the series so damn short? It was gone for a whole year and ten episodes is all they could manage?

Terrible. Truly terrible. :cry:

So, the Brains of Morbius Doctors are now definitely canon.

all 8 of 'em.

You wanted more of that?

I really liked the Dead Space inspired rusty Cybermen.

Hold me

I don’t know (or care

) about the lore of the show, so don’t know if that strawberry floated anything up.

I enjoyed the episode for what it was. It was entertaining and I strawberry floating love the Master.

It’s also very badly flawed though. So many holes in logic and basic storytelling. Christ, I sound like Taf.

I might have missed something but how did the particle go from “it will destroy all organic life in the universe!” to “it will destroy all organic life on this one already dead planet”?

Fell asleep watching it again. Great remedy for new parent sleep deprivation this program is :lol:
