Can't win either way with the political messages

Offensive? Chibnall run Who? Come on. This guy couldn't do offensive if he wanted to.

I dunno, people seem to be pretty damn offended by his writing.

Do you have any specific rebuttals to the points raised in the article?

[Philjia]

Well, Orphan 55 is what Doctor Who is meant to be like, roughly speaking. I wish the Doctor would take a bit more responsibility for her horrible decisions getting people killed.

Chibnall's script edits are very, uh, evident.

[The Alma Mater]

*grabs some popcorn and watches even more people get upset at this episodes oh-so-subtle political message*

[Dwarf Land4]

Well, that episode was. Actually, better than I expected. That isn't saying much, though XD

[Earthbound Immortal Squad]

Personally, I feel if they cut out the climate change stuff and trimmed a few little bits it would have been a really good episode. Or if the Doctor never actually learnt how the Earth was destroyed that could have made a good teaser for a future episode.

[Sakana Card Collector]

Yeah. Maybe to end it off, show the translated sign

Honestly, this whole plot has been done soo many times already.

Planet of the apes with the statue of liberty, HG Wells with The Time Machine encountering the morlocks etc.etc.

[Tokuopolis]

A fun episode, maybe a bit on the nose with the message but with good reason (in my opinion anyway).

Reminded me a lot of Midnight TBH.

[Philjia]

It was very 5th Doctor-ish episode, in that the Doctor doesn't achieve a whole lot, and a bunch of people die.

Yeah, I can sort of see that. Even though Midnight was a mixed I personally liked it even though there was no monster seen.


Also was anyone else thinking these creatures were taken from the Vorcha in mass effect?

[Dwarf Land4]

Maybe. I got hoix vibes, bc yeah. I do like how they made deep personalities, not the shallow ones of season 11. It was more than good or bad

I do like how the Doctor is using psychic paper more now.

[Dwarf Land4]

Mhm. It's fun as well. It isn't a get out of jail

[Ameriganastan]

Jesus fucking Christ. He never quits, does he? I was actually enjoying this episode. A right spooky episode about running from freaky monsters. Felt like proper Doctor Who. But of course this asshat just can't give it a rest, so he ruins it by hamfisting in an environmental message so unsubtle even Captain Planet would tell him to tone it down.

Fucking Christ, I hate Chibnall.

I'm a climate changing believing, egalitarian (center-)lefty and even I thought it was a bit over the top.

He doesn't know what subtlety is, does he?

Nope. And it's never gonna change, cause this fuckface just ignores any sort of review or social media feedback. Course it won't matter soon, cause at the rate his run is losing viewers. it might be cancelled soon anyway.

It'll have to do much worse than that to get cancelled. The people in charge should only really start to be worried if they get less than six million viewers, and start to panic if they get under five million, which even Moffat only managed twice. (On the execrable The Lie of the Land and the uninspired The Eaters of Light.)

Well if anyone can pull it off, it's this no talent schmuck.

[Ameriganastan]

You know what, fuck it. I'm done. I was hoping this guy would get better, but he's just cranked the no fun political bullshit up to 11 this season. I'm not here for it. He's clearly just gonna use the show to preach and preach, and I'm done. Ameri out.

At least we know that last two episodes were out of form. But holy cow this was just ridiculous.

[The Huskar Social Union]

Eh it was an alright episode, pacing was very fast and the climate change stuff was very heavy handed lol
