Doctor Who

Actually enjoyed that episode! However.........
Doctor crying again.
Race brought in again - why didn't he use his psychic paper?
Sonic screwdriver to bust a lock? He could have used it to turn off the cameras/projectors.
I still think Ncuti is a great actor - only saw him in Sex Education, but he is rubbish as the Doctor - no screen presence and no signs of being a Timelord and someone not to be messed with.
Did the girl in the wheelchair have a Yoda t-shirt?! lol.
But yeah, much improved from last weeks and the new companion gives as good as she gets, not just one of the 'fam'.

In a way race was unavoidable due to the period they went to. But also to remind Belinda. Doctor just brushed it off as he had got used to it.
Did he cry? I don't remeber it this time.
Yeah the sonic gets over used and then forgotten at times when it would be useful.
When he was saying goodbye to the 3 Doctor Who fans - people who he met 5mins prior.
It was doing alright until the utterly stupid sequence where they turned into cartoons and got worse when they popped out into the living room.
I thought it was worse than Red Dwarf: Back to Earth, and that's saying something.
I liked the cartoon thing - thankfully it wasn't for long though. I cringed at the popping into the living room, but again, short lived and back to the action.
I did rewatch Belinda scrolling the frames - she very nearly had a wardrobe malfunction - nom.

I feel that the fans watching may come back. I mean who is Mrs Flood talking to with all her 4th wall breaks etc.
I feel the breaking reality theme thats been running through this and last season and the name of the finale episode, I think the gods and/or others are watching the doctor.

It was better than Episode 1 but that's not saying much. came across more like Tales Of The Unexpected or Spielberg Amazing Stories, than Who. And yes, even if justified, the compulsion from RTD to set back in 1950's America so they could get the dig in about racial segregation.
Next week looks like it's set in space so hopefully a bit more sci to the fi and Ncuti has yet to be tested by some of the arch enemies - Daleks, Autons, Silurians or Cybermen. Or even the Master, who no longer seems to feature in the storylines.

Doctor Who confirms overnight ratings for Lux – lowest in series history
The figure fell below 2 million for the first time ever, despite a warm reception from fans.

Lowest viewership ever and that includes classic who, move aside McCoy!
Congratulations to another T-Davies written episode, he can do no wrong.
How do I obtain this skill at failing upwards?
Just do the right thing and top gear it!

The master and Cybermen last got wheeled out in Jodie's finale so doubt we'll see them again for a little while. As for Daleks Chibnell used them in every one of his new year specials so they are being rested for a bit too.

What about villains such as Cassandra, the Weeping Angels, Adipose and the Ood? Some of them had good stories, especially the Weeping Angels.

I listen to 'The rest is entertainment' podcast twice a week and I'm well informed from that that "overnight" ratings are pretty pointless now, because so many people watch things on iPlayer.Doctor Who confirms overnight ratings for Lux – lowest in series history

He also cries in the next episode it was in the preview.
He's cried literally every episode apart from the one he wasn't even in apart from like 30 seconds.
Wonder if they write it in for any particular reason.
Other doctors cried/teared up sure but there was weight behind it and an actual build up and meaning like Matts epic speech in rings of akhaten pouring his soul out. Or the doctors daughter with sheer grief and anger (did he tear up? Might have just been very sad face)
The episode though, enough with the race thing it's just boring we get it. Makes sense for when the episode was set but come on, enough already.
How they "defeateded" it was kinda stupid and the doctor can magically harness his time lord energy to heal wounds now way after regeneration? **** off.

Doesn't matter, like for like they're still falling. And falling to all-time lows, following a long running established pattern. That's how the data should be interpreted, if the overnights were meaningless and not representative then the figures would be up and down and all over the place with no pattern.
I'm sure thats always been the case where its aimed at families and kids. It's never been marketed and targeted at adults.
