Re: The Fifteenth Doctor
The episode was fine but the song was perhaps the low point for new who.

Re: The Fifteenth Doctor
Christ, space babies actually made me think Chibnall might be the better writer. I really hope it gets better as the season continues.
I like the new doctor, but he needs to tone down the capering a bit. That or I need to get used to his version of the Doctor.

Re: The Fifteenth Doctor
Yea, the new era is off to a disappointing start for me. I do like Ncuti and I like Ruby as well. But man, the Xmas special and the Space Babies were pretty bad. Actually, I mostly enjoyed the Christmas special, but I hated the singing scene. I did like the Devil's Chord better, but that's clearing a low bar. I am hoping Moffat's episode this weekend will be much better.

Re: The Fifteenth Doctor
I enjoyed the singing in the Christmas special, but only because I’m a big fan of Neil Patrick Harris.

I enjoyed the space baby episode, but I'm a cheap date when it comes to Doctor Who.

Re: The Fifteenth Doctor
Watched second episode. I guess “coward Doctor” is what we’re going with this iteration.
I will say I now want an episode with Neil Patrick Harris and Jinkx Monsoom. They were NEVER not entertaining. Jinkx just chewed up the scenery in a great way.
The story though? Meh.

Re: The Fifteenth Doctor
Well... "Boom" was a lot better than the rest of the season so far. But, just "good" not "great".
On a related note, here is Steven Moffat denying being involved with this season of Doctor Who while also naming the episode and Christmas special he wrote for it. Clever boy.
Boom!

Re: The Fifteenth Doctor
Boom felt like Doctor Who, finally. It wasn’t great but it at least gave me hope the show can return to form.
Edit: and I just finished the latest episode named 73 Yards. I really liked it, even if the ending kind of petered out. But I suspect it will really be finished in a later episode.

Re: The Fifteenth Doctor
73 yards is probably the best episode of the series so far. But, it's a bit too similar to Turn Left for my tastes. Still an entertaining one...

Re: The Fifteenth Doctor
And the latest episode, Dot and Bubble, may be the most cynical episode of Doctor Who I’ve ever seen. I did not see that ending coming.
