It’s more like he WANTS it to be a very special episode while lacking the skill to actually pull it off.
Yup, Graham is secretly the sharpest cardshark south of the Mason-Dixon line! Graham Maverick’s the name!
When the gods were strolling in Sheffield it reminded me of Aaliyah in Queen of the Damned ( a film I never think of).
For an episode that opens on a hospital renowned for its progressive mental health treatments,“Can You Hear Me?” curiously downplays the importance of therapy and medication. Instead, its big lesson seems to be “Talk to you friends about your problems!” which is definitely a good and important reminder, but also one…

The first person who dies in real time is Asian.
Only one episode in and I was getting that kind of vibe from the show, which is disappointing. It also looks as if they rushed through all of the plot? The episode descriptions definitely lean towards a huge chunk of the story having been covered, or all; properly handled, this could have had 1-2 parts per season.
That cancer beat at the end seemed tone deaf. But even ignoring the iffy messaging...
TV tropes is fun and all but equating trope usage with bad storytelling is a scary fallacy. Similar to people who think stories can’t be good if they don’t surprise you.
It’s still strange to me, seeing my home town as one of the central locations in an international series like this.
This episode did remind me of a Star Trek or a Buffy episode- there actually is a Buffy episode with a similar idea. Or you could say it’s like every genre show in which a completely uninteresting villain is introduced who’s supposed to be some huge threat to the world and yet there’s no real reason to care because…
The Aleppo stuff was just sorta there. The Doctor could’ve been responding to a distress call two blocks over from where she dropped off the crew for all the plot significance it had. The cut from Graham talking about not being stuck in the past to the TARDIS materializing was pretty much the only reason for it to be…
I am sorely disappointed with this show. Netflix’s Looke & Key is the most dull, unimaginative and limp adaptation that could possibly be. They clearly had no budget to realize the visuals from the comic series, which is pretty stupid considering that Stranger Things is filled with horror SFX, so Netflix has the money…
Yeah this episode was exactly what I was talking about last week. The episode had a message but ended up tripping over itself with the Alien Plot. Like, the aliens exploiting peoples mental states was at least in line with the Mental Health issue but way too much time was spent on the aliens rather than the mental…
Personally I felt the mental health angle came off as more subtext or subtheme than the entire point of the episode- it’s “about” a bunch of things.
I’m writing this from a room full of psychiatry trainees and a psychiatrist. Plus a few more in via videolink.
dude, put down your phone before the judge holds you in Contempt
Pretty terrible, though I do agree with your assessment that the companions finally got some good scenes. Though, of course, Ryan’s scene with 13 at the end didn’t work at all. That could have been a really nice moment-but like pretty much everything else in the Chibnall era its potential is squandered. Another…
I’d second Fables - I was really hoping that was what Once Upon A Time would be, and it was so disappointing, I’m not sure if I made it as far as season 2.
