"Space Babies" was utter cringe. While Ncuti and Millie as actors have excellent chemistry, I feel like Russel just used that as a cheat because the Doctor and Ruby's friendship just feels so fast-tracked. It's not grown organically. He takes for her a ride in the TARDIS just to show off, and then after one trip he gives her a key. Why is Ruby riding with him in the first place? She ran into the TARDIS basically just out of curiosity but we never are given a reason why she wants to do this full-time. And it's not like Russel can't do this. The phone scene felt like a wish dot com version of the phone scene from The End of the World.

"There's no one like me in the whole wide universe. Well, except for his previous incarnation currently couch surfing at Donna's house.

And why, exactly, didn't the Doctor take the babies into the TARDIS to a refugee planet as they originally planned, but instead used the dirty diapers to launch them at sub-light speed towards the planet? They'll be dead of old age before they even reach the solar system.

"The Devil's Chord" was remarkably better, but still not a promising start to this new era. The Beatles barely cameoed in what was billed as their showcase episode. Maestro was a fun villain, but their sinister plot didn't make any sense. Wipe out all life for the "music" of background noise"? Wouldn't it have more music to feed on if there were living beings around to generate it? And if music was suddenly taboo and no one was listening to it, why would there even still be a recording industry almost 40 years after Maestro showed up? No one would be buying music to support an industry.

I think the idea was that by the time all music from the universe had been taken. The Maestro wouldn't need anymore and would be all powerful instead.

Doctor Who has been dead for a long time now

Thanks for that utterly useless opinion. Just because you personally don't like it, doesn't mean it's "dead."

Nearly 20 years as a member is this is 1/4 of all your posts. Yeah, great opinion.

Ratings would indicate otherwise. So you know ... run along now.

Anyhoo ... "Boom" was brilliant, Moffatt back to his old form.

Boom was very good and very Moffat. Everything from the plot to the dialogue. It couldn't have been written by anyone else. The highlight of the three so far.

That said, I was talking with some friends who felt Boom seemed stale. Because it was bogged down by canon. But I don't think that is the issue.

Boom is representative not of adhering to canon. But sticking to the old writers. Everything about this episode was indicative of Steven Moffat. His style is so identifiable. Perhaps too much. This episode could have featured 11 & Amy Pond or 12 & Clara Oswald, in lieu of 15 & Ruby and nothing would have changed. That is to say, sometimes sticking with the old guard is the problem. A fun episode though. I did like the spin on an ambulance too. Sharp scratch.. 8/10

Most of us don't like what is happening to Doctor Who Now. When they added the LGBTQ / trans crap in the show that went too far.

Who is "most"? You're not seriously trying to speak for the majority are you?

You speak for yourself, no one else. Yeah there's some people out there who don't like the current stuff and some of the recent past stuff, but they're a MINORITY.

Bust out the DVD's and watch Classic Who.

As for the "LGBTQ/trans crap" ... you're seeing stuff that's not there (though I doubt you're even watching it, you're more than likely basing your comment off some other twat's ramblings).

"What is she saying?"

Oh this one was weird and I liked it a lot. The first DW horror episode in quite a while really. As no-Doctor episodes go. This is a strong episode for Millie Gibson. I think the best part is it doesn't answer every mystery the story poses. But, here that is a good thing. 8/10

Last Time I watch Doctor Who it was last year 60th anniversary episodes with David Tennant and Catherine Tate it was bad.
Donna Noble daughter Rose (son name Jason) Trans (non-binary) , The episode The Star Beast They ask the alien about what it pronouns are .
The Giggle Episode they added bi-generation it was stupid.

This crap doesn't need to be in Doctor Who it was forced upon from Disney

Boohoo.

Oh well, no loss to the fandom. Loss is yours really because it's been a massive improvement over the Chibnall era, and AllNewSuperRobot knows what they're talking about in their reviews.
