It's on Space in Canada, not CBS. (First episode previews on CTV and CBS.) According to this article, it's also streaming on something in Canada called "CraveTV" but that sounds highly dubious just based on its name.

That's true, and in fact, "Victory of the Daleks" has several good qualities and interesting ideas — which are all, unfortunately, overshadowed by its major downsides. The best part might be when the Dalek keeps insisting it's a servant and wants to bring everybody tea, because it's both funny and chilling (shades of…

Agreed, agreed, agreed. Chibnall's track record is a bunch of mostly really boring DW episodes and terrible Torchwood episodes and a terrible job showrunning Torchwood. And middling-to-way-overrated Broadchurch writing. Doesn't seem promising, but with this Doctor choice, my interest is now piqued. Crossing my fingers…

Despite not liking Hartnell much, even *I* can appreciate "The Aztecs", because it's not a silly comedy even if it has some good funny bits (like the lady who hits on the Doctor). Damn fine one, that is.

Actually, I did think he was great in An Adventure in Space and Time, so there's that. It's very likely I'll like him more than I liked Hartnell, and I won't feel guilty about it. So thanks for framing it that way. Now I'm looking forward to it more than I was before.

I tried to watch "The Romans" when it was rerun on Maryland Public Television circa 1990 but I was an overly serious teenager who wanted to see SERIOUS SCI-FI BUSINESS so a comedic black-and-white Hartnell historical didn't sit right with me. I never even finished watching it. And I utterly, absolutely despised "The…

Her family probably allowed/encouraged her to be in the show thinking that it would be something more like LOTR, or kiddie-grade sword-and-sorcery rubbish like that crappy British Merlin series from several years ago. I bet you they were told what would be in it and still didn't believe it. (People get VERY fixed…

I had no problem with Georgia Moffett's performance, just with the horrendous writing, so IMHO the problem with any follow-up is that it would validate one of the five worst episodes of new Who, and encourage people to go back and suffer through that wretched experience again.

I've had many times in the past like that, so I can relate.

We haven't seen Jenny or Christina again because Jenny and Christina are incredibly lame and horribly-written characters, whereas Bill is awesome.

I don't get it. We've already had one fake first Doctor (in "The Five Doctors"), do we really need another one?

Reference? Though yes, it would be a first for Chibnall to do anything groundbreaking….

We'd love to continue interacting with you at Inverse, but sadly it does not appear to have comments. We look forward to reading you over there anyway! Good luck!

That button will probably dissolve in the boiling acidic Kinja soup anyway.

I'm just speculating, but maybe Netflix had to show they meant business about the budget by cancelling first in order to get this finale at a reasonable price. Maybe they cancelled it after asking the Wachowskis to shave the high budget by knocking off a few of the locations (maybe, say, at least San Francisco and…

Wait, really? Is there proof of this somewhere (and that it's permanent, not just an experiment for season 10) and not just rumors? I've been very discouraged that Chibnall is taking over based on his mostly very dull DW episodes. I'd have a more optimistic outlook if I thought it was all going to be fully…

I'd strongly advise it if you care at all about narrative. In any case, season 1 is still really fascinating. The pilot is one of the best things David Lynch ever did. Season 2 slips in quality quite a bit, and falls into a miserable pit of almost totally irrelevant fluff in the middle, so you can easily skip…

Hmm, good point, I hadn't thought of that. But if Chibnall has any saving grace, it's that his character work is pretty solid sometimes. "Power of Three" basically had no plot and one of the lamest, most perfunctory villains ever seen on this show — which is really saying something — but it DID have a lot of good…

That's the only Chibnall episode I liked, and I've have my suspicions that Moffat did some uncredited rewrites on that one, because it's a much more delightfully strange premise than any of Chibnall's other DW episodes, or any of his Torchwood episodes either. Hmm, let's see: Yup! Indeed, Wikipedia says, "The…

Wouldn't he be too expensive at this point, since he's already headlined a hit U.S. show? And he probably doesn't want to do all that work. All that running around is apparently exhausting.
