The biggest shift since the Chibnall era is that these episodes were competent on a technical level. The scripts were definitely the worst aspects of the last RTD era turned up to eleven- nothing really is motivated, the stakes are never really meaningful, everything wraps up with a conclusion that vaguely maybe sorta…

Chibnall would like a word...

Can someone explain the Asylum to me?

RTD setting up an intriguing premise and then totally biffing the landing is a feature not a bug

Doctor Who is the softest possible sci fi and always has been lol

this is the first time ive heard of this show.

If the executive pass/fail performance requirement is for every new show to crack the Nielsen Top 10, then they’re going to have a lot of failures. They’re not leaving much room for success with their very limiting definition of success.

He said “mostly”. Look up the word as you obviously don’t understand. I suppose it’s easier to just bitch and hope those internet points you think you accrue mean something. By the way, they don’t.

Since it’s too soon to bring back the Master, but “maestro” is a pretty obvious reference to him, I’m going to assume with no other evidence, four hours before it premiers, that the entire season of Doctor Who will contain suggestions that the villain of the week is the Master in every episode until the finale, when…

I don’t see a problem with any of these lines, bub.

“Donald Chuck"

I don’t blame him. I should have said I was being sarcastic.

I think Kurt would disown him if he did that.

Robotic Chuck Norris? So most of his performances in the 80s and 90s?

They will perform a song about eating goblins.

Do we really need to know about Chuck Norris’s undoubtedly fashy straight-to-VOD shitfest?

Dang, listing Rebel Moon as the only credit for Djimon Hounsou is doing him dirty. 

These "how did we get here" prequels are rarely good. I don't have high hopes, but we'll see. 

100% clickbait bullshit.

It’s that.
