It's all right. Some of the second episode was proper old who. The robots standing around that hatch was very reminiscent of older episodes. The foreshadowing of the main baddies was good. But some bits seemed unneeded, the ending was just pointless, and the instant transport of the two winners ridiculous, as was threatening the main guy and him capitulating. 6/10 for me. |

The Rosa Parks episode pulls few punches and some scenes were quite uncomfortable to watch in parts. Probably deserves a rewatch to fully take it all in. The Doctor's utter disgust of segregation and having to tacitly endorse it whilst in Montgomery was very well-played. Rosa Parks came across as very strong-willed. ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! Definitely one that's going to be rewatched and written about a lot more than the first two. An excellent episode. Also: ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! |

Yeah that was much better. Obviously the subject matter is something that's interesting and important to me, but possibly the best historical episode of Doctor Who I've seen (and I've seen a lot!) Jodie and the gang continue to be excellent. |

I really liked that episode. Very well played out, and the effects on the ‘coloured’ part of the gang was awful. Quite powerful, will be watching again later. |

Watched Episode 5 (lost count!) last night. I enjoyed the performances of both the main and supporting casts, and rather liked the idea of a cute but ravenous monster, but felt the directing left me without any sense of urgency regarding the situation. 73% |

I have to say, I am beginning to feel as if I'm being preached at by watching it. It's political correctness gone mad When they did the list of upcoming guest stars at the end of episode 1 it did seem that white people were in the minority. I can’t say it bothered me but it did look like there might have been a conscious decision behind it. It’s possible to note these things without it being a rant about poor oppressed white men. |

KovacsC wrote: Me too Still not getting the hate for the new series I can understand it, as you can see from my post above. People have grown up with Doctor Who*. They love it. They want it to always be the same. But it can't be the same, as the world has changed. Sadly, as evidenced in the Capaldi years, it's difficult to portray a message of diversity and inclusion when the message is coming from the mouth of middle aged white dudes. Hence, Jodie. I love Jodie. She may just be my favourite Doctor ever. She's utterly nonthreatening until she's not. She's got a steel behind her eyes that prevents disagreement. And she doesn't kill people. And she has rainbow on her t-shirt. I mean c'mon! Are they trying to piss off the gammons? Of course they are. Long may it continue. * Weirdly, our generation, the current 35-45 year olds are about the only group to have not had a doctor during our formative years |

I guess I was classing formative years as early teenage. I remember things like ST:TNG and Quantum Leap being much more important to me than crappy cheap old wobbly set Who. |
