This is turning into the most consistently strong season since maybe… season 9?

A shame no one is really watching it… 😂
 
A new overnight low of 1.5m

Which is just so sad because it really has been a great series so far.

Same thing happened in 1989 when Mccoy’s 3rd season was easily the best season of the 1980s (and my personal favourite season of Old Who) and then it got cancelled.. 😢
 
I’m on me holidays so watched this week’s ep on Disney Plus. MOST convenient. Gone are the days when I had to wait two fucking weeks to watch Doomsday and find out if Rose Tyler died, due to a poorly-timed family holiday abroad.

This week’s I loved until the Conrad reveal, after which I didn’t really buy it because his plan made no fucking sense? Oh you want to prove that UNIT are lying about aliens and you’re going to do that by having them respond to a seemingly-genuine alien attack in a way they absolutely wouldn’t if they were making it up? Okeydoke. It felt rushed too so I wonder if there was a stronger two-parter here.
 
Last couple were really good IMO especially this one. Edge of seat and also very relevant and very accurate portrayal of the kind of nasty destructive conspiracy theory loons the world is riddled with these days. Also good to finally see this Doctor being angry.
 
This week's was lovely and thoughtful and felt genuinely different for Who, and I could NOT have been less engaged. It forgot to be fun.

Not sure how I felt about the Jo Martin cameo. On one hand it's lovely to see her again, but on the other it felt like another example of this show failing to use her properly. We've never even had a proper multi-doctor adventure with her!

Well excited for the Interstellar Song Contest :disco:
