Doctor Who The Reality War

 

Okay there are spoilers here

I am going to work backwards here-I will give the positives first

I did enjoy seeing 13's cameo I did like that Jodie Whittaker was written properly

I did very much enjoy Archie Panjabi as the Rani. I think caught got the spirit of the character perfectly

Anita Dobson should have done more comedy.

I was moved by the discussion of living a life  of childlessness which is often unwanted. I thought the Belinda was well written as a mother- This is the Lungbarrow story

It looks great

I disliked

BBC London- Its bright and clean. Everyone can afford a house. It is never raining. 

I loathe Billie Tyler being teased as the Dr- Yes I have heard the speculation that this the Bad Wolf or such. I don't care. Move on-move on. 

I dislike Unit having laser beams to fire at CGI. They are better when they are grunts. 

What the hell was the plot? They had made a deal with the god of wishes to create one man's perfect world. Eventually doubt would consume the world, and open a portal to allow Omega to break free- Oh except Omega is a monster now. A thoughtless monster . Then Poppy is lost and found. She was part timelord and now she did 

What I think is that Dr Who has not learned the lesson of the 80s. Another time when you heard about  the Rani and Omega. Another time when a showrunner was voicing opinion. Maybe show- maybe hint instead

What we have is more and more mythology - Just make a nice Cyberman story

It would detract from the solemnity of the moment. Even at Weddings the Priest allowed for dissent How did the Vice president say it? ``The Buck stopped here'' For a moment The President felt a smithereens of sympathy for his guest. The Viscount Halifax. A tall spry Man. Born into a Big House. With a crippled hand. In another walk of life. That would have made Halifax a pauper. Yet an accident of Halifax birth. His name written on a baptismal certificate in some English country Parish. Made him a man of means The president found his memory leading him down the lanes again. Halifax and him, were alike. It was an accident of birth that had been his salvation too He had been spared, when all else where killed. He had survived. He remembered the city of his birth, full of ragge...
