Premiers at 7:00p.m. tonight.

 

[Sithborg]

Fun episodes.

Spoiler

Space Babies was so goddamn silly. Fun, but so silly. Also, clearly the writer had a few thoughts on current events in England.

The Devil's Chord a bit more menacing. Maestro was a fun villain. And very clearly not the Master as I saw a lot of speculation. And actual, for real, Susan name drop was nice to see, though. Even with Disney money, though, ain't licensing actual Beatles songs. The final dance scene was fun.

Slightly exhausted about the great mystery of Ruby Sunday already, though.

The first 2 new episodes were decnt.

THe baby episode....not the biggest fan but definitely something I'd see RTD doing during 10s tenure.

Jinkx Monsoon episode was definitely stronger but I hope they can reignite the same feeling in me that I had during 11s run (even if it is a different showrunner)

 

[Silvermoth]

I’m loving it so far but I just need RTD to write villains that don’t just laugh all the time. But it’s fun to have an over the top pantomime doctor who villain again. Really looking forward to more of The Maestro

 

[Elayis]

Didn't care much for the first episode, but the second one was fantastic, probably the best one since Davies returned. The music battle reminded me of Doctor Strange, what a fun sequence. The Maestro brought back some much needed menace to the franchise. It's just nice to have Doctor Who back, I can't wait for Moffat's episode.

Just finished the first two episodes before this next one I thought they were great and particularly the second. The second had an emotional hook that I was invested in. The space babies were super cute but kinda creepy as well lol.

Another new companion appears early, perhaps as a completely different character? Or not...

 

[Primal Slayer]

I liked about 20min of the episode and kind of bored by the other 20 min.

 

[Sithborg]

For a simple one set episode, I found it quite enjoyable. Got a little bit of Ncuti's serious doctor. (I get the feeling Moffat finally got something off his chest) Some great solidifying of the Ruby/Doctor relationship in a bit more of a serious episode.

Spoiler

The urn was horrifying the more you saw the details of it. Thank god for the lighting, because ewww. The totally not Dalek ambulances were fine. And of course Moffat tossed in fish fingers and custard'

Spoiler

I get the feeling they were too amused with Mundy Sunday for her to be new. At least, that is how I feel for now.

 

[Silvermoth]

I could definitely see some of Capaldi in the 15th doctor in this episode

Spoiler

This episode reminded me of The Girl Who Waited a bit.

This episode reminded me of The Girl Who Waited a bit.

Spoiler

It’s like the premise of that episode, but if instead the entire episode we saw it from Amy’s perspective.

True.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

I feel like Can you Hear Me was a better version of this.

As a a standalone episode, I can’t judge this since it kind of resets. Like am I supposed to care about this Mad Jack person still out there?

Is Ruby some kind of timeline remnant?

 

[Sithborg]

I just find this episode extra funny because they just announced elections in the UK.

So, this very much was an episode that did while Gatwa was still doing Sex Education. I don't think Gibson is quite strong enough to handle such a solo episode so far. I like her Ruby, but Ruby really shines playing off the Doctor.
